• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BL015 - Reorganize number range for application log ?

  The SAP error message BL015, which states "Reorganize number range for application log," typically occurs when the number range for application logs has reached its limit. This can happen if the application logs are not being regularly archived or deleted, leading to a situation where the system cannot generate new application log entries.
