• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MA475 - No termination log was created (everything OK) ?

This message is often seen in the context of background jobs or batch processing.
  Cause:
  
  Successful Completion: The primary cause of this message is that the job or process completed successfully without any errors, and therefore, no termination log was necessary.

  Check Job Status: Verify the status of the job in transaction code SM37 (Job Monitoring). Ensure that the job has completed successfully and check for any other messages or logs that may provide additional context.
  Review Job Configuration: If you expect a termination log to be created, review the job configuration settings. Ensure that logging options are set correctly in the job definition.
