  The SAP error message CCMSBI_MESSAGES104 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of check intervals in the CCMS (Computing Center Management System) monitoring setup. Specifically, the error states that the difference between the check intervals must be exactly one second. This typically occurs when the intervals set for monitoring different metrics or parameters are not aligned correctly.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a misconfiguration in the monitoring settings where the intervals for different checks are set in such a way that they do not adhere to the required one-second difference. This can happen if:
  
  The intervals are set manually and do not follow the required format.

  Consistency Across Settings:
  
  Make sure that all related monitoring settings are consistent and do not conflict with each other.
  If you have multiple checks that are supposed to run in sequence, ensure their intervals are properly aligned.
