  The SAP error message CCSEC018: No log records were found for the specified selection typically occurs when you are trying to access log records in the SAP system, but the system cannot find any records that match the criteria you specified. This can happen in various contexts, such as when you are trying to view change logs, audit logs, or other types of log records.
  Causes:
  
  No Data Available: The most straightforward reason is that there are simply no log records that match the selection criteria you provided (e.g., date range, user, transaction type).
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The filters or parameters you used to search for log records may be too restrictive or incorrect.
  Log Deletion: Log records may have been deleted due to data retention policies or manual deletion.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to view the log records, which can sometimes lead to misleading error messages.
  System Configuration: The logging functionality may not be properly configured in the system, leading to no records being generated.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the parameters you are using to search for log records. Ensure that they are correct and not overly restrictive.
  Broaden the Search: If possible, try to broaden the date range or other filters to see if any records exist outside of your initial selection.
  Verify Log Settings: Check the configuration settings for logging in the relevant transaction or module to ensure that logging is enabled and functioning correctly.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the log records. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  Consult System Administrator: If you suspect that logs may have been deleted or if you are unsure about the configuration, consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator for further investigation.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be using different transaction codes to access logs (e.g., SLG1 for application logs, SM21 for system logs).
