• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GT115 - Object & has old restart logs; edit them online ?

  The SAP error message GT115 indicates that there are old restart logs associated with a specific object, and it suggests that these logs need to be edited online. This message typically arises in the context of SAP's background processing or job management, where restart logs are generated to track the status of jobs that may have failed or been interrupted.
  Cause:
  
  Old Restart Logs: The primary cause of this error is the presence of old restart logs for a specific object. These logs are created when a job fails or is interrupted, and they need to be addressed before the job can be restarted or processed further.
  Job Management Issues: If a job has been executed multiple times and has failed, it may leave behind multiple restart logs that need to be cleaned up.
  System Configuration: Sometimes, system settings or configurations may lead to the accumulation of these logs without proper cleanup.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Edit Restart Logs: The error message suggests editing the restart logs online. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., SM37 for job monitoring).
  Finding the job associated with the object in question.
  Accessing the restart logs and reviewing them for any issues or errors that need to be addressed.
  Making necessary edits or deletions to the logs as required.
  
  
  
  Delete Old Logs: If the logs are no longer needed, you can delete them:
  
  Use transaction code SLG1 to access the application log and delete old entries.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SM37 to delete old job logs.
  
  
  
  Check Job Status: Ensure that the job associated with the object is in a valid state. If it has failed, you may need to resolve the underlying issue before attempting to restart it.
