• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SECAUDIT030 - No log entries exist for this selection ?

  The SAP error message SECAUDIT030, which states "No log entries exist for this selection," typically occurs when you are trying to access security audit logs in the SAP system, but there are no entries that match the criteria you have specified in your selection parameters.
  Cause:
  
  No Audit Logs Generated: The most common reason for this error is that there have been no security audit logs generated for the specified time period or criteria.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you have entered (such as date range, user, transaction, etc.) may not match any existing log entries.
  Audit Logging Not Enabled: Security audit logging may not be enabled in the system, or it may not be configured correctly.
  Log Entries Deleted: The log entries may have been deleted due to retention policies or manual deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Audit Log Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the security audit logging is enabled in your SAP system. You can check this in transaction SM19 (Security Audit Log Configuration).
  Verify that the logging is set up to capture the events you are interested in.
  
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria:
  
  Double-check the selection criteria you are using in transaction SM20 (Security Audit Log) to ensure they are correct and that you are looking in the right time frame.
  Try broadening the selection criteria (e.g., extending the date range) to see if any entries appear.
  
  
  
  Generate Audit Logs:
  
  If no logs exist, you may need to perform actions in the system that would generate audit log entries. For example, log in with different users or execute transactions that are monitored by the audit log.
  
  
  
  Check for Deletion of Logs:
  
  If you suspect that logs have been deleted, check the system's retention settings in SM19 to see how long logs are retained and whether they have been purged.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on configuring and using the security audit log.
