• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S1260 - Table usage statistics only available on the local server ?

  The SAP error message S1260, which states "Table usage statistics only available on the local server," typically occurs when you are trying to access table usage statistics from a remote server or when the statistics are not available in the context you are working in.
  Cause:
  
  Remote Access: The error usually arises when you attempt to access table usage statistics from a system that is not the local database server. SAP maintains table usage statistics locally, and they are not accessible from remote systems.
  Statistics Not Collected: The statistics may not have been collected or updated for the specific table you are trying to analyze.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration issues or limitations in the way the SAP system is set up, particularly in distributed environments.
  
  Solution:
  
  Access Locally: Ensure that you are accessing the table usage statistics from the local database server. If you are using a distributed system, log in to the local server where the database is hosted.
  Check Statistics: Verify that the statistics for the table in question have been collected. You can do this by running the relevant transaction codes (like ST03N for workload analysis) or using SQL commands to check the statistics.
  Update Statistics: If the statistics are not available, you may need to update them. This can typically be done using the transaction code DB02 or by executing the relevant database commands to gather statistics.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to your specific version of SAP for any additional steps or considerations that may apply.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like DB02 (Database Performance Analysis) and ST03N (Workload and Performance Statistics) to monitor and analyze database performance and statistics.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  System Landscape: Understand your system landscape, especially if you are working in a multi-system environment (e.g., Development, Quality Assurance, Production) to ensure you are accessing the correct server.
