  Error Message
  WA617: Internal messages were deleted from the event trace table
  
  Cause
  This message indicates that internal messages (usually related to system events or traces) have been deleted from the event trace table in the SAP database. The event trace table is used to store internal system messages or traces for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.
  The deletion typically happens because:
  
  The event trace table has reached its maximum size or limit.
  Automatic cleanup or archiving jobs have purged old entries to free up space.
  Manual deletion or system maintenance activities have removed entries.
  The system is configured to keep only a limited number of entries or for a limited time period.
  
  When the system detects that some internal messages were deleted (usually to maintain performance or due to space constraints), it issues this informational message.
