• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BSP_WD018 - Runtime Analysis switched on ?

  The SAP error message BSP_WD018 indicates that the runtime analysis feature is enabled for a Web Dynpro application. This feature is typically used for performance analysis and debugging purposes, but it can lead to performance degradation if left enabled in a production environment.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the runtime analysis mode is activated for the Web Dynpro application. This mode is useful for developers to analyze the performance of their applications, but it can slow down the application significantly when used in a live environment.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to disable the runtime analysis for the Web Dynpro application. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Web Dynpro Application:
  
  Go to the transaction code SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE41 (SAP GUI for Web Dynpro).
  Locate the Web Dynpro component or application that is causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Disable Runtime Analysis:
  
  In the Web Dynpro application, look for the option to disable runtime analysis. This can usually be found in the application settings or configuration.

  Check for Configuration Settings:
  
  If you have access to the system settings, check if there are any global settings that enable runtime analysis for all Web Dynpro applications. If so, disable it.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache:
  
  After making changes, clear the cache of the browser or the SAP GUI to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Test the Application:
  
  After disabling runtime analysis, test the application to ensure that it is functioning correctly and that the performance has improved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Performance Monitoring: If you need to analyze performance in the future, consider using other performance monitoring tools or techniques that do not impact the application's runtime.
