How To Fix PERFTRAC062 - Execute performance test; you cannot choose "Do Not Save Data"

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PERFTRAC - Messages on Global Performance Analysis

• Message number: 062

• Message text: Execute performance test; you cannot choose "Do Not Save Data"

What causes this issue?

You have selected both "One Performance Test/ Test Case" and "Do Not
Save Performance Data" at the same time. This would mean that with the
exception of the data in the last performance test, no data from
the previous performance tests would be available after all of the
test cases were processed. This makes no sense.
Reason: The data is neither stored on the database nor is it located in
the program buffer, since only the data for one (and this would be the
last) performance test can be held in the program buffer.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Choose either "One Performance Test", so that all the data in a
performance test can be stored all together, or choose "Save data"
under "One Performance Test/Test Case" .
