What causes this issue?

To allow meaningful monitoring of the database, you must activate this
switch.

System Response

If this switch is not set, it can lead to problems ranging from
restricting the function of the CCMS transactions to erroneous
terminations.

How to fix this error?

Activate the switch by setting the appropriate database manager
parameters using the following command:
<LB>UPDATE DBM CFG USING DFT_MON_STMT ON </>
The setting will become active at the next connection to the database.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB6526 - An invalid parameter value has been returned for the DFT_MON_STMT switch ?

  The SAP error message DB6526 indicates that there is an issue with the parameter value for the DFT_MON_STMT switch, which is related to database monitoring in SAP systems. This error typically arises when the parameter is set to an invalid value, which can prevent the database from functioning correctly in terms of monitoring and performance analysis.
  
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Parameter Value: The DFT_MON_STMT switch is expected to have specific valid values. If it is set to a value that is not recognized or is outside the acceptable range, this error will occur.
  
  Configuration Issues: The error may also arise from incorrect configuration settings in the database or the SAP system.
  Database Version Compatibility: Sometimes, the version of the database being used may not support certain parameters or features, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Parameter Value: Verify the current value of the DFT_MON_STMT parameter. Ensure that it is set to a valid value as per the database
