• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TB373 - No table change logs exist ?

  The SAP error message TB373 "No table change logs exist" typically occurs when you are trying to access change logs for a table that does not have change logging enabled. Change logging is a feature in SAP that allows you to track changes made to database tables, and it must be explicitly activated for each table you want to monitor.
  Cause:
  
  Change Logging Not Enabled: The most common cause of this error is that change logging has not been activated for the specific table you are trying to access.
  Table Does Not Support Change Logging: Some tables may not support change logging due to their nature or configuration.
  Incorrect Table Name: You may be trying to access the change logs for a table that does not exist or has been misspelled.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TB373 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Change Logging Status:
  
  Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the table definition.
  Look for the "Log Data Changes" checkbox. If it is not checked, change logging is not enabled for that table.
  
  
  
  Enable Change Logging:
  
  If you determine that change logging is not enabled and you want to enable it, you can do so by:
  
  Going to transaction code SE11.
  Enter the table name and click on "Display".
  Click on "Technical Settings".
  Check the "Log Data Changes" option and save your changes.
  
  
  Note that enabling change logging may require appropriate authorizations and should be done with caution, as it can impact performance and storage.
  
  
  
  Verify Table Name:
  
  Double-check the table name you are using to ensure it is correct and exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of enabling change logging or if the table should have change logs, consult SAP documentation or your system administrator.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE14 (Database Utility), SE16/SE16N (Data Browser).
  Change Logging: Change logging can be useful for auditing and tracking changes, but it can also increase the size of the database and affect performance.
  Performance Considerations: Enabling change logging may lead to increased database size and slower performance for write operations, so it should be used judiciously.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if enabling change logging is not an option, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or technical support team for further assistance.
