• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AFX_GLOBAL152 - There is no application log for the selection specified ?

  The SAP error message AFX_GLOBAL152, which states "There is no application log for the selection specified," typically occurs when a user attempts to access application logs that do not exist for the specified selection criteria. This can happen in various SAP transactions that deal with application logs, such as SLG1 (Display Application Log).
  Cause:
  
  
  No Logs Created: The most common reason for this error is that there are no application logs created for the specified selection criteria. This could be due to:
  
  The process that should have generated logs did not run or completed successfully.
  The logs have been deleted or archived.
  The selection criteria (like date range, object, or sub-object) do not match any existing logs.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The user may have entered incorrect or overly restrictive selection criteria, leading to no matching logs.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the logs, which can lead to confusion about the existence of logs.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you are using in the transaction. Ensure that the date range, object, and other parameters are set correctly. Try broadening the criteria to see if any logs appear.
  
  
  Verify Log Generation: Confirm that the process or transaction that should generate logs has been executed. If it has not been run, execute it to create the logs.
  
  
  Check for Deletion/Archiving: If logs were previously available but are now missing, check if they have been deleted or archived. You may need to consult with your system administrator or check the relevant archiving settings.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view application logs. If you suspect authorization issues, contact your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to application logging for further troubleshooting steps.
