• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_STANDARDS020 - Time ref. &1: You need to define time references dynam. or statically ?

  The SAP error message ILM_STANDARDS020 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of time references in the Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) system. This error typically arises when the system requires a time reference to be defined, but it has not been set up correctly.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A time reference is required for a specific ILM process, but it has not been defined.
  The time reference can be defined either dynamically (based on certain conditions) or statically (fixed values), and the system is unable to find a valid configuration for it.
  
  Solution:

  Check Existing Configurations:
  
  Review any existing time reference configurations to ensure they are correctly set up and meet the requirements of your ILM processes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
