  The SAP error message SAIS009 indicates that you are in test mode and that a certain number of log records (indicated by &1) can be deleted. This message typically arises in the context of data archiving or log management processes within SAP systems.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Switch to Production Mode: If you intend to perform the actual deletion of log records, you need to switch from test mode to production mode. This can usually be done by changing the settings in the transaction or program you are using.
  Review Logs: Before proceeding with deletion, review the log records to ensure that you want to delete them. This can help prevent accidental loss of important data.
  Execute in Production: Once you are in production mode, execute the deletion process again to remove the log records as intended.
