• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SECAUDIT210 - No log data found for selection (filter &1 (display profile &2)) ?

  The SAP error message SECAUDIT210 indicates that there is no log data available for the specified selection criteria in the Security Audit Log. This typically occurs when you are trying to view audit logs using a specific filter or display profile, but the system does not have any entries that match those criteria.
  Cause:
  
  No Audit Data Recorded: The most common reason for this error is that there are no audit logs recorded for the specified time period or criteria. This could be due to the audit logging not being enabled or configured correctly.
  Incorrect Filter or Profile: The filter or display profile you are using may not match any existing log entries. This could happen if the criteria are too restrictive or if the profile is not set up to capture the relevant data.
  Data Purging: The audit logs may have been purged or deleted if the retention period has expired or if manual deletion has occurred.
  System Configuration: The system may not be configured to log certain types of events, leading to a lack of data for the specified selection.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Audit Log Configuration: Ensure that the Security Audit Log is properly configured. You can do this by checking the settings in transaction code SM19 (Security Audit Log Configuration). Make sure that the relevant events are being logged.
  Verify Time Period: Check the time period you are querying. If you are looking for logs from a specific date range, ensure that there are logs available for that period.
  Review Filters and Profiles: Reassess the filters and display profiles you are using. Try using broader criteria to see if any logs are available. You can also check the configuration of the display profile in transaction SM20.
  Check for Data Purging: If you suspect that logs have been purged, check the retention settings in SM19 to see how long logs are retained and whether they have been deleted.
  Consult System Logs: If you suspect that there should be logs available, check the system logs or other related logs to see if there are any issues with the logging mechanism itself.
