• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWLT011 - Cannot create snapshot: SQL Monitor data is initial ?

  The SAP error message SWLT011: Cannot create snapshot: SQL Monitor data is initial typically occurs when you attempt to create a snapshot in the SQL Monitor (transaction code SWLT) but the SQL Monitor data is not yet populated or initialized. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause and potential solutions can help you resolve the issue.
  Cause
  
  No SQL Statements Captured: The SQL Monitor may not have captured any SQL statements yet. This can happen if the SQL Monitor has just been activated and no database activities have occurred since then.
  Monitoring Not Started: The SQL Monitor might not be actively monitoring SQL statements. If monitoring is not started, there will be no data to create a snapshot from.
  Data Initialization: The SQL Monitor data might be in an initial state, meaning that it has not yet been populated with any relevant data.

  To resolve the SWLT011 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Start SQL Monitoring:
  
  Ensure that SQL Monitoring is activated. You can do this by going to transaction code SWLT and starting the monitoring process.
  Make sure to select the appropriate options for monitoring the SQL statements you are interested in.
  
  
  
  Execute SQL Statements:
  
  After activating the SQL Monitor, execute some SQL statements in your SAP system that you want to monitor. This will populate the SQL Monitor with data.
  
  
  
  Wait for Data to Populate:
  
  Allow some time for the SQL Monitor to gather data. Depending on the volume of SQL statements executed, it may take a little while for the data to be available.
  
  
  
  Check SQL Monitor Settings:
  
  Verify the settings in the SQL Monitor to ensure that it is configured correctly to capture the SQL statements you want to analyze.
  
  
  
  Create Snapshot:
  
  Once you have executed SQL statements and the SQL Monitor has data, try creating the snapshot again.
