• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SXT012 - Trace Activation has been saved ?

  The SAP error message SXT012, which states "Trace Activation has been saved," typically indicates that a trace has been successfully activated for a specific session or transaction. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that the tracing functionality has been set up.
  Cause:
  
  Trace Activation: The message appears when a user activates a trace for debugging or performance analysis purposes. This is often done to capture detailed information about the execution of programs, function modules, or transactions.
  User Action: The message is usually triggered by a user action, such as starting a trace using transaction codes like ST01 (System Trace), ST05 (SQL Trace), or similar tools.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Trace Settings: If you intended to activate a trace, you can proceed with your analysis. If you did not intend to activate a trace, you can deactivate it using the same transaction code you used to activate it.
  Review Trace Data: After activation, you can review the trace data to analyze performance issues or debug problems. Use the appropriate transaction (e.g., ST01 or ST05) to view the collected trace information.
  Deactivate Trace: Once you have completed your analysis, it is a good practice to deactivate the trace to avoid unnecessary performance overhead. You can do this in the same transaction where you activated the trace.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant transaction codes for tracing:
