• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR108 - There is no log for the entered selection criteria ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR108 - There is no log for the entered selection criteria
  
  Cause:
  The error message VR108 occurs when you attempt to display or process a log (such as a change log, update log, or any other system log) in SAP, but the system cannot find any log entries matching the selection criteria you have entered.
  This typically means:
  
  No relevant log entries exist for the specified object, date range, user, or other selection parameters.
  The log data might have been archived or deleted.
  The selection criteria are too restrictive or incorrect.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Viewing change documents for a particular object or transaction.
  Displaying update logs or application logs.
  Checking logs for batch jobs or background processing.
  Trying to display logs for a period where no activity occurred.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Verify that the selection parameters (dates, object keys, user IDs, etc.) are correct and not overly restrictive.
  Expand the date range or remove unnecessary filters to increase the chance of finding log entries.
  
  
  
  Check if Logs Exist:
  
  Confirm that the object or transaction you are querying actually generates logs.
  Ensure that the logging functionality is activated for the relevant object or process.
  
  
  
  Check Log Retention and Archiving:
  
  Logs might have been archived or deleted due to system housekeeping or retention policies.
  Consult with your Basis or system administration team to check if logs have been archived or purged.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction or Report:
  
  Make sure you are using the appropriate transaction or report to view the logs.
  For example, change documents are viewed via transaction SCDO or CDHDR/CDPOS tables.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to view the logs.
