  The SAP error message /PM0/3FW_CHK_MESS616 indicates that there is an issue with a logger class name associated with a specific transaction. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) module or related areas where logging is implemented for transactions.
  Cause:
  The error message suggests that the system is trying to reference a logger class that does not exist in the system. This could be due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Logger Class: The specified logger class name (&1) is not defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The transaction (&2) may be incorrectly configured to use a logger that is not available.
  Transport Issues: If the logger class was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included or activated properly.
  Development Issues: If the logger class was custom-developed, it may not have been activated or may contain errors.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Logger Class:
