  The SAP error message IUUC_CLOG_UI_VIEW020 indicates that there is an issue with the data retention period being set to 0 days in the context of the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) replication process. This error typically arises when configuring the data retention settings for change logs in SLT.

  Access the SLT Configuration:
  
  Go to the SLT configuration transaction in your SAP system (usually transaction code LTRC).

  Save the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, save the configuration.
  
  
  
  Restart the Replication:
  
  If necessary, restart the replication process to ensure that the changes take effect.
