• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E2E_TESTING015 - &1: Trace for user &2 already active ?

  The SAP error message E2E_TESTING015 indicates that a trace for a specific user is already active. This typically occurs in the context of performance analysis or debugging when a user attempts to start a trace while one is already running for that user.
  Cause:
  
  Active Trace: The primary cause of this error is that a trace session is already active for the specified user. SAP allows only one trace session per user at a time to avoid conflicts and ensure data integrity.
  Multiple Attempts: The user or a process may have attempted to start a trace multiple times without stopping the previous one.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Stop the Active Trace: The first step to resolve this issue is to stop the currently active trace for the user. This can be done using transaction ST01 (System Trace) or ST05 (SQL Trace), depending on the type of trace that is active.
  
  Go to the relevant transaction.
  Check for active traces for the user.
  Stop the trace that is currently running.
  
  
  
  Verify User Traces: You can also check for active traces using transaction SM50 (Process Overview) or SM66 (Global Process Overview) to see if there are any background jobs or processes that might be holding the trace.
  
  
  Wait for Completion: If the trace is running for a legitimate reason (e.g., performance analysis), you may need to wait until it completes before starting a new one.
  
  
  Check for Errors: If you believe there should not be an active trace, check for any errors or issues that might have caused the trace to remain active.
