This typically occurs in the context of logging operations within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with data dictionary objects or logging mechanisms.
  
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following scenarios:
  
  Duplicate Initialization: The restricted log is being initialized multiple times in the same session or transaction, which is not allowed.
  Incorrect Program Logic: The program logic may be flawed, leading to an attempt to reinitialize a log that has already been set up.

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Initialization Logic: Review the code where the restricted log is being initialized. Ensure that the initialization is only done once
