• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GD022 - The detail log does not exist ?

  The SAP error message GD022, which states "The detail log does not exist," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a detailed log for a process or transaction that does not have any associated log entries. This can happen in various contexts, such as during the execution of a transaction, report, or batch job.
  Causes:
  
  No Log Created: The process or transaction may not have generated any log entries due to its nature or because it completed successfully without any issues.

  Consult System Administrator: If you suspect that logs have been deleted or purged, consult with your system administrator to understand the log retention policies in place.
