• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TPDA140 - System debugging activated ?

  The SAP error message TPDA140, which states "System debugging activated," typically indicates that the system is currently in debugging mode. This can happen for various reasons, such as a developer or administrator intentionally activating debugging to troubleshoot issues, or it may be inadvertently left on after a debugging session.
  Cause:
  
  Debugging Mode Activated: The most common cause is that the system debugging has been turned on, either by a user or through a specific transaction.
  Transaction ST01 or ST22: If a user is trying to analyze a problem using transaction codes like ST01 (System Trace) or ST22 (Dump Analysis), they may inadvertently activate debugging.
  User Settings: Sometimes, user-specific settings or profiles may have debugging enabled.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TPDA140 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Deactivate Debugging:
  
  If you have access, you can deactivate debugging by going to the transaction code SE80 or SE38 and checking if debugging is active. 
  You can also use the command /h in the command field to toggle debugging off.
  
  
  
  Check User Settings:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 and check the user profile settings to ensure that debugging is not set to be activated by default.
  
  
  
  System Administration:
  
  If you are not able to deactivate debugging yourself, contact your SAP Basis administrator or system administrator. They can check the system settings and deactivate debugging if necessary.
  
  
  
  Restart the Session:
  
  Sometimes, simply logging out and logging back in can reset the debugging state.
  
  
  
  Check for Active Debugging Sessions:
