• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPTRX/ERRMSG024 - No application log is available with the selection criteria ?

  The SAP error message /SAPTRX/ERRMSG024 No application log is available with the selection criteria typically indicates that a user is trying to access application logs in the SAP system, but no logs are found that match the specified selection criteria.

  Causes:
  
  No Logs Exist: There may simply be no application logs generated for the specified criteria (e.g., date range, object, sub-object).

  Verify Log Generation: Ensure that the application or process you are investigating is indeed generating logs. You may need to check the relevant application settings or consult with the development team.
  Check Authorization: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view application logs. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the user profile.
  Review Log Retention Settings: If logs are being deleted, check the retention settings for application logs in the system configuration. You may need to adjust these settings if logs are being removed too quickly.
