SN400 - Details

• The SAP error message "SN400 All short dumps older than & days and with status <> 'X' were deleted" typically indicates that the system has automatically deleted short dumps that are older than a specified number of days and do not have a status of 'X' (which usually indicates that the dump has been processed or acknowledged).
  
  Cause:
  
  Short Dump Management: SAP systems have a mechanism to manage short dumps (ABAP runtime errors) to prevent the database from being overloaded with old and unprocessed dumps. The system is configured to delete dumps that are older than a certain threshold (specified in days).
  Configuration Settings: The retention period for short dumps is defined in the system settings. If the retention period is set to a low value, it can lead to frequent deletions of short dumps.
  System Maintenance: Regular maintenance tasks may also lead to the deletion of old dumps as part of housekeeping activities.
