• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W3_TOOL505 - Only display changed ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W3_TOOL505 Only display changed
  
  Cause:
  The message W3_TOOL505 Only display changed typically appears in the context of SAP Web Dynpro or SAP GUI when you are working with tools or transactions that involve displaying or editing data, such as customizing or configuration tools.
  This message indicates that the system is currently set to only display changed entries or records rather than all entries. In other words, the view or report you are looking at is filtered to show only those entries that have been modified or changed, not the complete dataset.
  This is not an error in the strict sense but rather an informational or warning message to inform you that the current display mode is limited to changed data only.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you activate a filter or option to show only changed/customized entries.
  When working with transport organizer tools or customizing transactions where you can toggle between viewing all entries or only those that have been changed.
  In Web Dynpro applications or tools that track changes and allow toggling the display mode.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  If you want to see all entries (not just changed ones):
  
  Look for an option, checkbox, or filter setting in the tool or transaction screen that controls the display mode. This might be labeled as:
  
  "Only display changed"
  "Show changed entries only"
  "Display all entries"
  
  Uncheck or disable the "Only display changed" option to see the full list of entries.
  
  
  If you want to keep the current view:
  
  No action is needed. The message is just informational.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is informational and does not indicate a system error or malfunction.
  It helps users understand why they might be seeing fewer entries than expected.
  Common in transactions related to customizing, transport requests, or Web Dynpro tools.
  If you are unsure where to find the toggle, check the toolbar, filter options, or settings menu of the current transaction or tool.
  In some cases, this message might appear in logs or traces to indicate the current display mode.
