Use
The message store contains the application logs that exceed the maximum number of messages defined in Customizing. For more information, see Customizing for Basic Functions -> User Interface -> Define Message Settings.
Selection
You can restrict the selection of log entries in the message store by defining the following:
- User names for which the messages were written
- Start and end dates of periods when the messages were written
- Handles of application logs which are linked to written messages in the message store
