• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTI_DOC025 - No data deleted since no entries exist with date before &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WSTI_DOC025 No data deleted since no entries exist with date before &1
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when you attempt to delete or archive data (usually in the context of workflow or document management) with a selection criterion specifying a date before a certain value, but there are no entries in the system that meet this criterion. In other words, the system checked for entries with a date earlier than the specified date (&1), but found none, so no data was deleted.
  This is an informational message rather than an error, indicating that the deletion process did not remove any data because none matched the date filter.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During workflow log cleanup or deletion of workflow-related data.
  When running standard SAP programs or reports that delete old entries based on a date.
  When archiving or deleting documents or logs with date restrictions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify the date parameter: Check the date you entered or that was set as the cutoff date. Ensure it is correct and that there should be data older than this date.
  Check if data exists: Use transaction codes or reports to verify if there are any entries with dates before the specified date.
  Adjust the date range: If you want to delete data, you may need to specify a later date (i.e., a date that actually includes existing entries).
  No action needed if intentional: If you intended to delete data before a certain date and none exists, this message simply informs you that no data was deleted. No further action is required.
  
  
  Related Information:

  Summary:
  
  Cause: No entries exist with a date before the specified date, so no data was deleted.
  Solution: Verify the date and data existence; adjust parameters if needed. If no data exists, no action is required.
  Nature: Informational message indicating no deletion took place.
