• Message class: RT - Monitoring infrastructure MSG and alert texts

• Message number: 259

• Message text: &1 &3 > &2 &3 Network runtime exceeds threshold (&4 dialog steps)

What causes this issue?

Average frontend network time per dialog step.
During a dialog step, there can be several communication steps between
the SAP server and the local frontend.
The frontend network time is the time that is used in the network for
the first data transfer from the frontend to the SAP server, and the
last data transfer from the SAP server to the frontend (in milliseconds)
during a dialog step.

RT259 - Details

• The SAP error message RT259 indicates that the network runtime for a particular transaction has exceeded a predefined threshold. This can happen in scenarios where the communication between the SAP application server and the database or between different application servers is slow or inefficient. The message typically includes parameters that provide additional context, such as the transaction code, the user, and the number of dialog steps involved.
  
  Cause:
  
  Network Latency: High latency in the network can lead to delays in data transmission between the SAP application server and the database or between different servers.
  Database Performance: If the database is slow in processing requests, it can contribute to longer network runtimes.
  Heavy Load: A high number of concurrent users or transactions can overload the system, causing delays.
  Inefficient Code: Poorly optimized ABAP code or inefficient queries can lead to longer processing times.
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect settings in the SAP system or network configuration can also lead
