• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSTT0059 - Only standard traces cannot be edited with the wizard ?

  The SAP error message RSTT0059 indicates that you are trying to edit a standard trace using the trace management wizard, which is not allowed. Standard traces in SAP are predefined and cannot be modified through the trace management tools.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is an attempt to edit a standard trace entry. Standard traces are system-generated logs that capture specific events and activities in the SAP system. These traces are meant for monitoring and debugging purposes and are not intended to be altered by users.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Trace Type: Ensure that you are working with a custom trace or a trace that is editable. If you need to analyze standard traces, you can view them but not edit them.
  
  
  Use Alternative Tools: If you need to analyze the data captured in the standard trace, consider using other tools or methods:
  
  Use transaction ST01 (System Trace) to analyze the trace logs.
  Use transaction ST05 (SQL Trace) for database-related traces.
  Use transaction SM21 (System Log) for system logs.
  
  
  
  Export Data: If you need to manipulate or analyze the trace data, consider exporting the trace data to a file or using reporting tools to analyze it outside of the SAP environment.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on how to work with traces and logs effectively.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Standard Trace: A standard trace captures specific system events and is predefined by SAP. It is useful for performance analysis and debugging.
  Custom Trace: Custom traces can be created and modified according to specific requirements. You can define what events to capture and how to analyze them.
