SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CONT_TOOLS - Message for BI Content Tools German

• Message number: 005

• Message text: No log exists for this selection. See long text

What causes this issue?

In the status table the object still has status inactive or
inconsistent. There can be various reasons for this.
The status displayed is not current. Check whether the time stamp (in
the Content Activator ALV output) is current for the object. There might
have been no activation run started since the last activation.
Activation has not produced error messages. In spite of this, the object
could not be activated. This can be caused by a BW tool error or an
inconsistency in the BI Content object. For example, update rules
(UPDR) without data targets are active although activation has not taken
place.
Activation has not been attempted. Search in job log SM37 for jobs with
the description BICONT_AUTOACT_X* ( X = name of TLOGO object).

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If the object status is up to date, there is probably an inconsistency.
Try to activate the object using transaction RSOR. Check that activation
has actually taken place and that the object is available in the system.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CONT_TOOLS005 - No log exists for this selection. See long text ?

  The SAP error message CONT_TOOLS005 ("No log exists for this selection. See long text") typically occurs when you are trying to access logs or reports in the SAP system, but there are no entries available for the selection criteria you have specified. This can happen in various contexts, such as during the execution of a transaction or when trying to view logs related to a specific process.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Data Available: The most common cause is that there are simply no logs or entries that match the selection criteria you have provided. This could be due to:
  
  The process has not been executed yet.
  The logs have been deleted or archived.
  The selection criteria are too restrictive.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: You may have entered incorrect or overly specific parameters that do not match any existing logs.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the logs, leading to the perception that no logs exist.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you are using to ensure they are correct and not overly restrictive. Try broadening the criteria to see if any logs appear.
  
  
  Verify Process Execution: Ensure that the process you are trying to view logs for has actually been executed. If it hasn't, there will be no logs to display.
  
  
  Check for Deletion/Archiving: If logs are expected but not found, check if they have been deleted or archived. You may need to consult with your system administrator or check the relevant archiving settings.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the logs. If you suspect this is the issue, contact your SAP security administrator to verify your access rights.
