This error indicates that the system is trying to reference a logging engine class that either does not exist or is not properly configured.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Class: The specified class (denoted by &1 in the error message) does not exist in the system.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Class Existence:
  
  Use transaction SE80 or SE24 to check if the class exists in the system. If it does not exist, you may need to create it or transport it from another system.
