Displaying the Workload Overview 

Use

You can use the Global Workload Monitor to analyze the workload of both SAP R/3 and non-SAP R/3 Systems. There are various analysis views available to you for SAP R/3 Systems, and Analyses for non-SAP R/3 Systems.

An analysis displays a particular aspect of the workload. One of these aspects is the question of how the workload is distributed among the individual service types. A service type characterizes the type of processing of a request in a component; it can be compared to the task type in SAP R/3 statistics records. There, for example, there are the types Dialog, Background, and Update.

The Internet Transaction Server, for example, as the first DSR instrumentation has the following service types:

·        SAP GUI for HTML dynamically emulates SAP R/3 transaction screens Web browsers by automatically mapping R/3 screen elements in HTML using the Internet Transaction Server.

·        FlowLogic allows the user to call applications from a Web browser. The following rules apply:

¡        The business logic is defined in remote function modules or BAPIs.

¡        The dialog flow is defined in flow files and is determined by the user during runtime.

¡        The presentation is defined in HTML templates.

·        IAC (Internet Application Components) are Internet-compatible SAP R/3 transactions, function modules, and reports, that can be called from a Web site. The execution is performed using the Internet Transaction Server.

·        WebRFC allows the user to call SAP R/3 function modules from a Web browser.

·        Unknown is the type of an action, if it runs in one of the Mixed Modes (if, for example, controls of the SAP GUI for HTML are displayed on IAC templates).

Procedure

...

       1.      Start the Global Workload Monitor by calling transaction ST03G.

       2.      In the Workload tree in the upper left subscreen, select the component type and the component that you want to analyze. For more information about the structure of the workload tree, see Structure of the Workload Tree of the Global Workload Monitor.

       3.      In the Analyses tree in the lower left subscreen, choose the Workload Overview option.

       4.      An output area appears, in which the requested workload overview is displayed in an ALV Grid Control.

Result

The output area shows how the workload is distributed among the individual service types. To obtain a description of a column, select the relevant column and use the F1 help.

You can use tab pages to select how you want to display the workload:

·        Average values per step

·        Average values per transaction

·        Total times

·        Proportion of response time
