• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SQLM026 - &1 &2 records updated (runtime &3 seconds) ?

  The SAP error message SQLM026 indicates that a certain number of records have been updated in the database, and it provides information about the number of records and the runtime in seconds. This message is typically informational rather than an error, and it is often seen in the context of database operations, such as updates or inserts.
  Cause:
  
  Database Operations: The message is generated when a database operation (like an update or insert) is executed, and it reports the number of records affected by that operation.
  Performance Monitoring: It can also be part of performance monitoring, indicating how long a particular operation took to execute.
  
  Solution:
  Since SQLM026 is an informational message, there is generally no action required unless you are experiencing performance issues or unexpected behavior. However, if you are concerned about the performance or the number of records being updated, consider the following:
  
  Performance Tuning: If the runtime is longer than expected, you may want to analyze the SQL query or the process that is causing the update. Look for ways to optimize the query or the underlying database structure.
  Batch Processing: If a large number of records are being updated at once, consider breaking the operation into smaller batches to improve performance and reduce locking issues.
  Database Indexing: Ensure that the database tables involved in the operation are properly indexed to speed up the update process.
  Monitoring: Use transaction monitoring tools to keep an eye on long-running transactions and identify any bottlenecks in the system.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to check transaction codes related to the operation you are performing (e.g., SE38 for ABAP programs, SE11 for database table definitions).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or performance tips related to the specific transaction or operation you are executing.
  Database Logs: Review database logs for any additional information that might indicate why the operation took longer than expected.
  
  If you are encountering this message in a context where you believe it should not be appearing, or if it is accompanied by other error messages, further investigation may be necessary to identify the root cause.
