• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S1258 - Number range buffer statistic is available only on the local server ?

  The SAP error message S1258, which states "Number range buffer statistic is available only on the local server," typically occurs when you are trying to access number range buffer statistics from a remote server or a system that is not the local application server. This message indicates that the statistics for number range buffers can only be viewed on the server where the number range buffer is actually maintained.
  Cause:
  
  Remote Access: The error usually arises when you attempt to access number range buffer statistics from a different application server than the one where the number range buffer is defined.
  System Configuration: The configuration of the SAP system may not allow for cross-server access to certain statistics, including number range buffers.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Access the Local Server: Ensure that you are logged into the local application server where the number range buffer is maintained. You can check your current server by using transaction code SM51 to view the list of application servers and their statuses.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SNUM (Number Range Maintenance) or SNRO (Number Range Objects) directly on the local server to view the number range buffer statistics.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you need to access number range statistics from a remote server, consider reviewing the system configuration or discussing with your SAP Basis team to see if there are any settings that can be adjusted to allow for this.
  
  
  Monitoring Tools: If you need to monitor number range buffers across multiple servers, consider using SAP monitoring tools or custom reports that can aggregate this information from different servers.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Number Range Buffers: These are used in SAP to improve performance by caching number ranges in memory, reducing database access for number assignments.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SNRO for number range objects and SNUM for number range maintenance.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or specific guidance related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide additional context or solutions based on the version of SAP you are using.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis administrator or SAP support for further assistance.
