Note: Here the Data Structure represents table structure of the respective documents. The SAP – Object Type represents the respective Business Object of the corresponding structure. This is an important entry, which will be used internally for the selection and display of the respective document from Open Text.

In the Data Archiving Tab, we will give the respective Archiving Object of the document and the Archive Info Structure used for archiving the documents. The info structure fields in the Archive Info Structure are important as the Open Text Node Selection Fields should be available in the info structure fields of the Archive Info Structure. So while creating the Archive Info Structure, we need to plan all the info structure fields with the selection screen fields of Open Text output also in mind.
