• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RCPAPI1021 - Message log is activated ?

  The SAP error message RCPAPI1021, which states "Message log is activated," typically indicates that the message logging feature is enabled in the SAP system. This feature is often used for debugging and monitoring purposes, but it can also lead to performance issues or excessive logging if not managed properly.
  Cause:
  
  Message Logging Enabled: The message log feature is turned on, which means that the system is recording messages for various processes.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for message logging may not be optimized, leading to excessive logging.

  Solution:
