• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ATO128 - Message type of business log messages was limited to &1 ?

  The SAP error message ATO128 indicates that the message type of business log messages has been limited to a certain number, denoted by &1. This typically occurs in the context of the Application Log (transaction SLG1) where the system is trying to log messages but has reached a predefined limit for the number of messages of a specific type.
  Cause:
  
  Message Limit Reached: The system has a limit on the number of messages that can be logged for a particular message type. When this limit is reached, the system will not log any additional messages of that type until some are deleted or the limit is increased.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the logging mechanism may have been set to a low threshold, causing the limit to be reached quickly.
  High Volume of Logs: If there is a high volume of transactions or errors being logged, it can quickly fill up the allowed message types.
  
  Solution:
  
  Increase the Limit: If appropriate, you can increase the limit for the message type in the configuration settings. This can usually be done in the customizing settings for the application logging.
  Delete Old Logs: Regularly monitor and delete old or unnecessary logs to free up space for new messages. You can use transaction SLG2 to manage logs.
  Review Logging Configuration: Check the configuration for the logging mechanism to ensure it is set appropriately for your business needs. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or functional team.
  Analyze Message Volume: Investigate why there is a high volume of messages being generated. It may be necessary to address underlying issues that are causing excessive logging.
