• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RT464 - Short dump [&1] no longer available ?

  The SAP error message RT464, which indicates that a short dump is no longer available, typically occurs when a user attempts to access a short dump that has been deleted or is no longer stored in the system. Short dumps in SAP are generated when a runtime error occurs, and they provide detailed information about the error for debugging purposes.
  Cause:
  
  Short Dump Deletion: Short dumps are stored in the system for a limited time. If the dump has been deleted (either manually or due to system settings), it will no longer be accessible.
  Retention Settings: The system may have retention settings that automatically delete short dumps after a certain period.
  Database Cleanup: Regular database cleanup processes may remove older short dumps to free up space.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Recent Dumps: Instead of trying to access the deleted dump, check for any recent short dumps that may provide similar information. You can do this by using transaction code ST22 to view the list of current short dumps.
  Increase Retention Period: If you frequently need to access short dumps for debugging, consider increasing the retention period for short dumps in the system settings. This can be done by adjusting the parameters in the system configuration.
  Review Logs: If the specific dump is not available, you may still be able to find relevant information in other logs, such as the application log (transaction SLG1) or system logs (transaction SM21).
  Reproduce the Error: If possible, try to reproduce the error that caused the short dump. This may help you gather information about the issue without needing the original dump.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address similar issues or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
