Analyze System Performance

You can analyze your system performance using the Benchmark Tool and Analysis Tool, or viewing Statistics and Analysis, and Data Action Statistics and Analysis.

Benchmark Tool

Benchmark your client’s score, as well as the latency and bandwidth to your SAP Analytics Cloud service.

To access the benchmark, from the side navigation, choose Start of the navigation path System Next navigation step Performance Next navigation step  Benchmark ToolEnd of the navigation path.

Note

Don’t minimize or switch the browser tab during the test. Also be cautious when running a performance test on your mobile network. Downloading several hundred megabytes is possible, and any background download activities may influence the analysis.

Client Test Score

The client benchmark tool runs several scripts on the local machine and calculates a normalized score. Using current SAP Analytics Cloud best practices, the client score can be categorized according as follows:
  • Excellent: Score >= 75
  • Good: Score >= 50 and <75
  • Poor: Score < 50
To imporove your client score while keeping your existing hardware configuration, watch out for CPU instensive applications and processes that may have an negative impact on your SAP Analytics Cloud performance. For example:
  • Business video conferencing services
  • Virus scanning
  • Synchronizing shared network drives

Network Test Score

The network tests measures your system latency, and bandwidth to the SAP Analytics Cloud service. Latency is measured in miliseconds (ms). It describes the time it takes from the starting request until the response arrives. A good latency is a ping rate within a low milliseconds range. Bandwidth measures the megabits per second (Mbps) transferred from server to client when downloading and uploading data.

The network score may be negatively affected by other applications consuming the bandwidth, various network configurations, or different nework issues. For example:
  • Internet server provider connection
  • Virtual Private Networks
  • Firewalls

Additional Performance Statistics and Analysis Tools

Review performance metrics on connections, queries, models, and stories to identify bottlenecks and gain insights into processing of stories and analytic applications.

Who does this apply to?

  • Users with Manage permission for the Public Files privilege.
  • Admin and BI Admin standard application roles.

To access system performance tools, from the side navigation, choose Start of the navigation path System Next navigation step PerformanceEnd of the navigation path and select an option from the menu.
