• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SATCM196 - No. of checks: &1 ?

  The SAP error message SATCM196, which states "No. of checks: &1," typically occurs in the context of the SAP system's performance analysis tools, particularly when using the SAT (SAP ABAP Trace) transaction. This message indicates that the system has encountered a situation where the number of checks performed is either zero or not as expected.
  Cause:
  
  No Data Available: The most common cause of this error is that there are no trace records available for the specified criteria. This can happen if the trace was not activated or if the trace data has been cleared.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to filter the trace data may be too restrictive, resulting in no records being found.

  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the trace data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Activate Trace: Ensure that the trace is activated for the relevant user or transaction. You can do this by using transaction ST01 or SAT to start the trace.
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you are using in the SAT transaction. Make sure they are broad enough to capture the relevant data.
  Review Trace Data: If you suspect that the trace data has been cleared, you may need to re-run the transaction with the trace activated to gather new data.
  User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the trace data. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to ensure proper roles and permissions are assigned.
