• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_COFI021 - Only the first 100 messages were saved to the application log ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_COFI021, which states "Only the first 100 messages were saved to the application log," typically occurs when there are too many messages generated during a process, and the system limits the number of messages that can be logged to the application log. This is a common scenario in SAP when dealing with large data volumes or extensive processing tasks.
  Cause:
  
  Message Limit: The application log in SAP has a default limit on the number of messages it can store. When the number of messages exceeds this limit (in this case, 100), only the first 100 messages are saved, and the rest are discarded.
  High Volume of Errors/Warnings: If a process generates a high volume of error or warning messages, it can quickly hit this limit.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the application log may be set to a low threshold for message storage.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase the Message Limit: You can increase the limit of messages that can be stored in the application log. This can be done by adjusting the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or system administrator to make these changes.
  
  Use transaction code SLG0 to access the application log settings.
  Check the settings for the relevant object and adjust the maximum number of messages if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review and Optimize the Process: Analyze the process that is generating the messages. If possible, optimize the process to reduce the number of messages generated. This could involve:
  
  Filtering out unnecessary messages.
  Handling errors more efficiently to minimize the number of logged messages.
  
  
  
  Check for Underlying Issues: Investigate the root cause of the messages being generated. If they are error messages, it may be necessary to resolve the underlying issues that are causing these errors.
  
  
  Use Alternative Logging: If increasing the limit is not feasible or does not resolve the issue, consider using alternative logging mechanisms or custom logging solutions to capture all relevant messages.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SLG1 (to view application logs) and SLG2 (to delete application logs) for managing logs.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for application logging to understand how it works and best practices for managing logs.
  
  By addressing the message limit and optimizing the processes that generate logs, you can effectively manage the FAGL_COFI021 error and ensure that important messages are not lost.
