• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S1704 - Snapshot SYSMON executed ?

  The SAP error message S1704, which states "Snapshot SYSMON executed," typically indicates that a system monitoring snapshot has been executed in the SAP system. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message that indicates that a snapshot of the system's performance metrics has been taken.

  Review the Snapshot: Analyze the snapshot data to identify any performance bottlenecks or issues. Look for high CPU usage, memory consumption, or long-running transactions.

  Monitor Performance: Use transaction ST03N (Workload Analysis) or ST04 (Database Performance Analysis) to get a deeper insight into system performance.
  Adjust Configuration: If you identify specific areas of concern, consider adjusting system parameters or configurations to optimize performance.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes for guidance on interpreting SYSMON snapshots and addressing performance issues.
