  • What causes this issue?

    The performance trace uses the user's local time when selecting the
    trace records and displaying the trace times. To do this, it is
    necessary that the user's time zone is maintained in the user master
    record (see SU01 - Defaults), and that the time zone of the application
    server can be determined in the kernel.
    If some, or even all, of the time zone specifications are missing, it
    means that the local time cannot be determined. (The local times at ABAP
    level cannot be used, since differences between the individual time
    data would sometimes occur.) In this case, the system time is used for
    selecting trace records.
