Displaying a Business Transaction Analysis

Use

The Business Transactions Analysis (transaction STAD) calculates the system resource usage of individual transactions for ABAP systems and provides a detailed analysis of a transaction and the dialog steps. The selection criteria include user, transaction, program, task type, start date, and start time.

Procedure

Call transaction ST03G to start the Global Workload Monitor.
Choose Detailed Analysis → Business Transaction Analysis.
The Select Statistical Records dialog screen appears. You can make the following settings here:
In the Select the display mode group box, choose one of the following output types:
- Show all statistics records, sorted by start time
  The system displays a chronological list of dialog steps with their resource usage.
- Show all records, grouped by business transaction
  The system displays a list of dialog steps with their resource usage, grouped by transactions. The list contains the individual dialog steps of a transaction.
- Show business transaction sums
  In addition to Show all records, grouped by business transaction, the system also displays a list with totals of workload data. This variant is used most frequently.
  
  Note
  
  In the first two cases - if you have restricted the data to certain users or transactions, and so on - the system reads only the corresponding records. In the third case, the system reads all records, but displays only the records that match the selection criteria. You should consider this if you switch to a different display mode by choosing Disp. Mode.
In the Tools group box, choose one of the following commands:
- Include statistics from memory
  The statistics data is buffered first, before it is read into the STAD file. This option forces the buffer to write the data to a file before the analysis is performed. This ensures that you can analyze all transactions.
- Include application statistics
  Choose this check box to display application statistics in addition.
- Server selection
  This pushbutton restricts the analysis to certain instances in the system. Select the desired instances.
- Additional options
  You can set the wait time for the Remote Function Call (RFC), maximum runtime of the analysis, and the time period to be used for the analysis.
