• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PERFTRAC117 - Destination &1 copied from destination &2 without load balancing ?

  The SAP error message PERFTRAC117 indicates that a destination (usually a logical system or a connection) has been copied from another destination without load balancing. This typically occurs in the context of performance tracing or monitoring in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with distributed systems or multiple application servers.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The destination was manually copied from another destination without properly configuring load balancing settings. This can happen if the destination is intended to connect to multiple application servers but is set up to connect to only one.
  System Setup: The source and target systems may not be configured correctly for load balancing, leading to this error when trying to trace performance metrics.
  Transport Issues: If the destination was transported from one system to another, it may not have the correct load balancing settings in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 (RFC Destinations) and check the configuration of the destination in question.
  Ensure that the destination is set up for load balancing if it is supposed to connect to multiple application servers.
  
  
  
  Adjust Load Balancing Settings:
  
  If the destination is meant to use load balancing, ensure that the "Load Balancing" option is enabled in the destination settings.
  Verify that the target application servers are correctly defined and reachable.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Destination:
  
  If the destination was copied incorrectly, consider deleting it and recreating it from scratch, ensuring that all load balancing settings are correctly applied.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to performance tracing and load balancing for specific guidance on configuring destinations.
  
  
  
  Check for SAP Notes:
  
  Look for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
