Error logs (root cause) · Error Log Root Cause
Errors without an object key cannot be linked to a root cause
- Default severity
- Minor
- Finding code:
- CAUSAL_UNLINKED_ERRORS
- Engine version:
- 1.1.0
What this finding means
Error Log Root Cause reports this finding with the default severity “Minor”.
About the engine: Root causes, affected objects and fix order from SAP message logs (Migration Cockpit, SLG1)
How to fix it
Re-export the log with the object / instance column (for example Instance, Object Key, Source Record, WBS Element) so these errors can be linked; review them individually until then.
How ERP Preflight detects it
The analysis is deterministic: the same exported files and the same knowledge snapshot always produce the same findings. No SAP system connection is required — you upload exports.

- CSV, TEXT, JSON
- What to export
SAP message log export: Migration Cockpit message log (including the Fiori 'SAPUI5-Export' with Typ, Nachrichtentitel, Nachrichtenklasse, Nachrichtennummer, Datum und Uhrzeit), SLG1 application log or any message table as CSV / TSV / semicolon / pipe (ALV list) text with a header row containing a message type column (Type, Msg Type, Typ, Meldungstyp, MSGTY) and a message class + number (ID / Message Class / Nachrichtenklasse / Arbeitsgebiet + Number / No. / Nummer) or a combined message column (Message: 'CNIF_PI 076'); optional object (Instance, Object Key, Source Record, WBS Element / PSP-Element, Project, Material, Customer, Supplier, Order …), parent (Parent, Superior, Higher-Level, Übergeordnet), migration object and timestamp columns. Without an object column the objects are read from the message texts (source-record groups, framework / wrapper message roles). JSON: an array of message objects or {'messages': [...]} with the same keys.
- Required input
- A message log with a message type column and a message id (class + number or combined)
- Evidence
- Each finding points to the artifact path, line and column, the code snippet and the SHA-256 of the uploaded file. Findings without such a pointer are demoted to confidence UNKNOWN.
- Confidence
- Each finding names the knowledge it relies on (SAP message roles (framework / wrapper / relation messages of Migration Cockpit logs)) and is capped by that source’s verification status.
- Knowledge sources
- SAP message roles (framework / wrapper / relation messages of Migration Cockpit logs) — curated, not verified against the source
- Target releases of the engine
- S4H_2022, S4H_2023, S4HANA_CLOUD_2402, S4HANA_CLOUD_2408
