  Causes:
  
  No Trace Data Available: The most straightforward cause is that there is simply no trace data available for the specified time period or criteria.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The parameters or filters used to search for trace data may be incorrect or too restrictive, leading to no results being found.

  Consult System Logs: Look into system logs (transaction SM21) to see if there are any related errors or warnings that might provide additional context.
  Check for Data Purging: If trace data is expected but not found, check if there are any data retention policies in place that might have led to the deletion of trace data.
