SAP Note 22971 - Eventlog: description of event ... not found

Component : Windows -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/22971 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAP Note addresses a Windows NT event log issue where messages with an unregistered Event ID appear due to missing SAP service registry entries post-upgrade. The solution involves manually adding these entries via regedt32. Users are instructed to navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SYSTEM->CurrentControlSet->SERVICES->EventLog->Application and create keys for the SAP service and OS Collector, setting paths to the appropriate DLL or executable. Correct registry configuration requires entries for EventMessageFile and TypesSupported, with a final system reboot to apply changes. This ensures proper log description management and service tracking in SAP systems.
