• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SDF/ZQLM002 - SQL Monitor activated globally ?

  The SAP error message /SDF/ZQLM002 SQL Monitor activated globally typically indicates that the SQL Monitor feature in SAP has been activated at a global level. This feature is part of the SAP SQL Monitor, which is used to analyze and monitor SQL statements executed in the system. 
  Cause:
  
  Global Activation: The SQL Monitor has been activated globally, which means it is monitoring all SQL statements across the system. This can lead to performance issues if not managed properly.
  Configuration Settings: The settings for the SQL Monitor may not be configured correctly, leading to excessive logging or monitoring of SQL statements.
  Performance Impact: If the SQL Monitor is activated without proper configuration, it can impact system performance due to the overhead of monitoring and logging.
  
  Solution:
  
  Deactivate SQL Monitor: If the SQL Monitor is not needed, you can deactivate it globally. This can be done through transaction code SDF or by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system.
  
  Go to transaction SDF -> SQL Monitor -> Deactivate.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If you need to keep the SQL Monitor active, consider adjusting the configuration settings to limit the scope of monitoring. This can include:
  
  Setting filters to monitor only specific SQL statements or transactions.
  Adjusting the logging level to reduce the amount of data being captured.
  
  
  Performance Tuning: If the SQL Monitor is necessary, ensure that the system is adequately tuned to handle the additional load. This may involve optimizing database performance, increasing system resources, or scheduling monitoring during off-peak hours.
  Review Documentation: Check the SAP documentation for SQL Monitor for best practices and guidelines on how to configure and use the feature effectively.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SDF, ST05 (SQL Trace), and ST12 (Combined Trace) for monitoring SQL performance.
  SAP Notes: Look for SAP Notes related to SQL Monitor for any known issues or updates that may affect its performance or configuration.
  Performance Monitoring: Regularly monitor system performance and adjust SQL Monitor settings as necessary to ensure optimal performance.
