  Review Program Usage:
  
  Assess whether the program is still in use. If it is not, consider removing it from the enabled list to avoid unnecessary warnings and potential confusion.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or security team to ensure that the logging settings align with your organization's compliance and monitoring requirements.
