  1. Cause of the Error
  The message WD494 typically appears in the context of SAP Web Dynpro applications, especially during data validation or error handling processes. The message text "Basic data does not contain any errors" indicates that the system has performed a validation check on the "basic data" (usually the main data set or input data) and found no errors.
  This message is often triggered when the application or a custom validation logic expects to find errors in the data but none are present. It can also appear as an informational message to confirm that the data passed validation successfully.
  In summary:
  
  The system checked the basic data for errors.
  No errors were found.
  The message is informational, not an error per se.
  It may appear in scenarios where error handling or validation is performed.
  
  
  2. When Does This Message Appear?
  
  During data validation in Web Dynpro applications.
