How To Fix RSDD505 - For user '&1', logging of the query statistics is to be activated

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSDD - Message class for data manager

• Message number: 505

• Message text: For user '&1', logging of the query statistics is to be activated

What causes this issue?

While logging the query-runtime statistics, each call of the statistic
methods is recorded and written to the table RSDDSTATLOGGING. A large
data set is created then; the runtime of the query is impaired. For this
reason, you should only use this option when you are looking for errors
in the statistics. SAP recommends that you deactivate this option
immediately afterwards and that you regularly empty the table
RSDDSTATLOGGING.
You issue statistics logging for your user by deleting the row with your
user in the table RSDDSTATLOGUSER.
Note that logging the statistics is different from normal writing of
statistic data during query execution.
