• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W9011 - & entries deleted in upload update log ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding SAP error message W9011 and the issue of entries being deleted in the upload update log:
  
  SAP Error Message: W9011
  Message Text:
  
  Entries deleted in upload update log
  
  Cause
  
  The message W9011 typically appears during data upload or batch input sessions when the system detects that some entries in the update log have been deleted.
  This usually happens because the update log entries, which track changes during the upload process, have been cleared or removed either manually or automatically.
  Possible reasons include:
  
  Manual deletion of update log entries by a user or administrator.
  Automatic cleanup jobs or programs that delete old update log entries.
  Errors or inconsistencies during the upload process causing the system to discard certain log entries.
  The upload program or tool might be designed to delete update log entries after processing to avoid log overflow.
  
  
  
  
  What is the Update Log?
  
  The update log in SAP is a mechanism that records changes made during data upload or batch input sessions.
  It helps in tracking which records were successfully processed and which were not.
  Deletion of these entries means loss of traceability for the uploaded data.
  
  
  Solution / How to Handle
  
  
  Check the Upload Program Settings:
  
  Review the upload or batch input program to see if it deletes update log entries as part of its process.
  Modify the program if necessary to retain update log entries for audit or troubleshooting purposes.
  
  
  
  Avoid Manual Deletion:
  
  Ensure that users or administrators do not manually delete update log entries unless absolutely necessary.
  If deletion is required, ensure it is done after confirming that the upload process is complete and logs are no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Review Cleanup Jobs:
  
  Check if there are any scheduled background jobs or cleanup programs that delete update log entries.
  Adjust the scheduling or parameters of these jobs to prevent premature deletion.
  
  
  
  Analyze the Upload Process:
  
  Investigate if the upload process is encountering errors that cause the system to delete update log entries.
  Fix any data inconsistencies or errors in the source data.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Look for SAP Notes related to message W9011 for any patches or corrections.
  Sometimes, SAP releases corrections or recommendations for handling such issues.
  
  
  
  Backup Logs:
  
  If update logs are critical, consider exporting or backing them up before any cleanup.
