  The SAP error message PFL_API100 indicates that a profile parameter change has been performed dynamically, either in the database or the file system. This message is informational and typically does not indicate a critical error, but rather serves to inform administrators that a change has been made to the system's profile parameters.
  Cause
  The cause of this message is usually one of the following:
  
  Dynamic Parameter Change: A profile parameter was changed dynamically using transaction codes like RZ10 or RZ11, which allows for immediate changes without restarting the SAP system.

  Solution
  Since this message is informational, no immediate action is required unless the change was unintended or is causing issues. However, if you need to address the situation, consider the following steps:
  
  Verify Changes: Check the specific profile parameters that were changed. You can do this using transaction RZ11 to view the current values of profile parameters.
  Review Logs: Look at the system logs or change logs to see who made the change and when. This can help determine if the change was authorized and necessary.
  Revert Changes: If the change is causing issues, you can revert the parameter to its previous value using the same transaction (RZ11 for dynamic changes).
  Documentation: Ensure that any changes made are documented for future reference, especially if they impact system performance or behavior.
