• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SQLM115 - Trace activation "&1" has an active duplicate with equal request filter ?

  The SAP error message SQLM115 indicates that there is an issue with the trace activation in the SQL Monitor (SQLM) where a duplicate trace activation exists with the same request filter. This typically occurs when you attempt to activate a trace that has already been activated with identical parameters.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by trying to activate a trace that is already active with the same settings (i.e., the same request filter). The SQL Monitor does not allow multiple traces with identical configurations to avoid confusion and performance issues.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Active Traces: 
  
  Go to the SQL Monitor (transaction code SQLM).
  Check the list of currently active traces to see if there is already a trace with the same request filter.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Duplicate Trace:
  
  If you find an active trace with the same request filter, you can deactivate it. 
  Select the trace and choose the option to deactivate it.
  
  
  
  Modify Request Filter:
  
  If you need to keep both traces active, consider modifying the request filter of the new trace you want to activate. This could involve changing the criteria or parameters to differentiate it from the existing trace.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the Trace:
  
  After deactivating the duplicate trace or modifying the request filter, try to activate the trace again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SQL Monitor (SQLM): This is a tool in SAP that allows you to monitor and analyze SQL statements executed in the system. It helps in performance tuning and identifying long-running queries.
  Trace Activation: When you activate a trace, you specify parameters such as the request filter, which determines which SQL statements will be monitored.
  Performance Considerations: Having multiple active traces with the same parameters can lead to performance degradation, which is why SAP restricts this.
