  SAP Message: W_CB206
  Text: Application log: &1 was saved
  
  1. Cause
  
  This message is an informational warning indicating that an application log has been successfully saved.
  The placeholder &1 is replaced by the name or identifier of the application log object.
  It is not an error but a confirmation that the system has recorded the log for a particular process or transaction.
  Application logs are used in SAP to record detailed information about processes, errors, or warnings during execution, which can be reviewed later for troubleshooting or audit purposes.
  
  
  2. When does it occur?
  
  When a process or transaction writes entries to the application log and the log is saved.
  Common in batch jobs, background processing, or during execution of certain transactions or reports that generate logs.
  For example, during data loads, interface processing, or custom program executions that use the SAP Application Log (transaction SLG1 for display).
  
  
  3. Solution / Action
  
  Since this is an informational message, no corrective action is required.
  You can review the application log to check the details of the process or any warnings/errors recorded.
  To view the log:
  
  Use transaction SLG1 (Application Log: Display Logs).
  Enter the object and subobject (if known) or use the log number referenced in the message.
  
  
  If the log contains errors or warnings, investigate those specific entries.
  If you want to suppress this informational message in custom programs, you can adjust the message handling logic (e.g., treat it as info instead of warning).
