How To Fix RA199 - No data exists in the DB for &

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RA - Monitoring structure dialog message

• Message number: 199

• Message text: No data exists in the DB for &

What causes this issue?

The database does not contain any information on the properties of the
monitoring tree element (MTE) that you selected. Properties are the
settings of an MTE, including such information as the descriptive
message of an MTE, alert thresholds, and so on.
This situation is most likely not due to an error. Rather, the MTE is
probably a temporary MTE. The system stores properties of such MTEs in
the database only when a user explicitly saves the properties.

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?

If you wish to store the MTE properties in the database, then save the
properties. The system will then add the properties as they are
displayed to you to the database.
The properties are then "permanent." That is, the properties as saved
in the database override any specifications made by a data supplier
program or collection method. The properties can only be changed by a
user, who modifies and saves them again.
