  The SAP error message RSTT0063 indicates that a user is activated for trace recording, which means that the system is currently set to record performance traces for that specific user. This can be useful for debugging and performance analysis, but it can also lead to performance issues if not managed properly.
  Cause:
  The error message occurs when:
  
  A user has been activated for trace recording, and the system is trying to perform an operation that is not allowed while tracing is active.
  The trace recording for the user may be consuming system resources, leading to performance degradation.

  Go to the SAP GUI and enter transaction code ST01 (System Trace).
  
  
  
  Deactivate Trace:
  
  In the System Trace screen, you will see options to activate or deactivate traces.
  Find the user for whom the trace is activated (in this case, &1 will be replaced with the actual username).
  Deactivate the trace for that user.
  
  
  
  Check Trace Settings:
  
  You can also check the trace settings in transaction ST05 (SQL Trace) or ST12 (Combined Trace) to ensure that no unnecessary traces are active.
  
  
  
  Monitor Performance:
  
  After deactivating the trace, monitor the system performance to ensure that it has improved.
