This message is typically related to the SQL Monitor (SQLM) functionality in SAP, which is used for performance analysis and monitoring of SQL statements executed in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Performance Monitoring: The message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that the SQL Monitor has copied runtime statistics for a certain number of records.

  Review SQL Monitor Settings: Check the configuration of the SQL Monitor to ensure it is set up optimally for your needs. You may want to limit the number of records being monitored or adjust the monitoring parameters.
  Performance Tuning: Analyze the SQL statements being executed to identify any performance bottlenecks. This may involve optimizing queries, adding indexes, or adjusting database settings.
  Data Management: If the volume of data being processed is too high, consider implementing data archiving or purging strategies to reduce the load on the system.
  System Resources: Ensure that the system has adequate resources (CPU, memory, etc.) to handle the workload efficiently.
