SARA not working as expected on retrieval of WF container

[Sample, Rick]

Hey folks!

Please bare with me. My knowledge on archiving is limited. 

We have custom tables that a custom BOR object is based on and only the WF is being archived. 
It is a WF Approval process and the actual data is short lived and dumped after 120 days. i.e. "deleted". 

The data is deleted in 120 days, the WF is archived some time after that deletion. 
It appears to archive off just fine but when I go into SARA and try to retrieve the Container data, 
it hour glasses. The SAP code is stuck in a DO ... ENDDO loop. Can't instantiate a BOR and SARA gets hung. 

I debugged to the offending code and put in a Customer Message. 

What I would like to know, was it ever meant to work without the BOR object? Meaning, 
"must" I have the BOR object to archive and expect to retrieve the container data of the WF?
