• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT606 - Selected Logs Are No Longer Scheduled for Archiving ?

  The SAP error message ECATT606 ("Selected logs are no longer scheduled for archiving") typically occurs in the context of the eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) framework when you attempt to archive logs that are no longer available for archiving. This can happen for several reasons, including:
  Cause:
  
  Log Expiration: The logs you are trying to archive may have expired based on the retention settings configured in your system.
  Archiving Settings: The archiving settings for eCATT logs may not be properly configured, leading to logs being marked as not available for archiving.
  Manual Deletion: Logs may have been manually deleted or purged from the system.
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the eCATT or the archiving process itself.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the ECATT606 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Log Availability:
  
  Verify if the logs you are trying to archive are still available in the system. You can do this by checking the eCATT log management transaction (e.g., ECATT or SCC3).
  
  
  
  Review Archiving Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction SARA to check the archiving object settings for eCATT logs. Ensure that the retention period is set correctly and that logs are not being deleted prematurely.
  
  
  
  Adjust Retention Period:
  
  If the retention period is too short, consider extending it to allow logs to remain available for archiving for a longer duration.
  
  
  
  Check for Manual Deletion:
  
  Ensure that no manual deletions have occurred that would affect the availability of the logs.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure Archiving:
  
  If necessary, reconfigure the archiving settings for eCATT logs to ensure they are set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to eCATT and archiving for any specific guidelines or updates that may apply to your version of SAP.
