Indicator: SERVICES_STATISTICS

Definition

Do not use this indicator, except under SAP Support Team supervision or under specific recommendation provided within the SAP CC documentation. The usage statistics about the different services running in an SAP CC system instance.

Description and Use

Caution

Do not use this SAP CC system indicator, except under the direct supervision of a support specialist from your SAP Support Team, an expert from your operations team, or under specific recommendation provided within the SAP CC product documentation.

The information is based on the sensor technology that is replaced by the CA Introscope technology and infrastructure. Some reported data may:

  • Be not relevant
  • Require additional expertise
  • Lead to different interpretations depending on your implemented SP and patch level

This indicator is dedicated to your SAP Support Team. It is deprecated and replaced by the metric concept in CA Introscope.

Recommendation

SAP recommends that you implement and use SAP Solution Manager and CA Introscope for SAP to monitor your SAP CC system landscape and to be able to troubleshoot problems with the SAP CC systems. Consider the technical monitoring and the performance and health metrics to determine your new usage.

For example, see the following metrics:
Deprecated Sensor Available Metrics
SF_ SAP CC | Message | Stateful
NETWORK_ SAP CC | Connection
SQL_ Backends | {Database Name} on {Hostname}

See the SAP CC Operations Guide for more details about the implementation of SAP CC with SAP Solution Manager and CA Introscope for SAP.

The SERVICES_STATISTICS indicator provides statistics (time and count) for each running instance in the SAP CC Core Server system about the general use of its services (and operations) via the different technical interfaces or components. Consult the SAP CC Application Help (aka SAP CC Library) for more details about these services and the related processes: business or technical.

The information is based on plugged sensors in the SAP CC systems. Since release 4.0, these sensors are replaced by the CA Introscope (IS) Agent and its probes and corresponding metrics.

Syntax and Constraints

The SERVICES_STATISTICS indicator includes a list of strings composed of sensor IDs, durations, and counted hits. You can determine the average that is the total duration divided by the total count.

Each information item has the following format: sensorid:duration,hits

With:

  • The duration is in milliseconds (ms) since the startup of the instance in the SAP CC Core Server system
  • The average is the duration divided by the quantity (counted hits)

Sensor List and Sensor IDs

The following sensor IDs are defined (all sensors are not available in all types of instances in the running SAP CC system):

Business: Stateful Charging and Refilling Services
  • SF_CHARGE: Event-based charging operations in real time (online charging)

  • SF_START_RA: START_RATE operations (session-based charging)
  • SF_UPDATE_START_R: UPDATE_START_RATE operations (session-based charging)
  • SF_UPDATE_STOP_R: UPDATE_STOP_RATE operations (session-based charging)
  • SF_STOP_RAT: STOP_RATE operations (session-based charging)

  • SL_PRE_RATE: STATELESS_PRE_RATE operations (deprecated function)
  • SL_POST_RAT: STATELESS_POST_RATE operations (deprecated function)
  • SL_TRANSLAT: STATELESS_TRANSLATE operations
Technical: Services via the Message TCP technical interface
  • SF_WAIT_QUE : Waiting queue size dedicated to Stateful charging operations (in real time or batch)
  • SL_WAIT_QUE : Waiting queue size dedicated to Stateless rating operations
  • NETWORK_IO_KB_READ : Quantity of data read from the network in kilobytes
  • NETWORK_TIME_READ : Time spent on network read operations in milliseconds
  • NETWORK_IO_KB_WRITE : Quantity of data written to the network in kilobytes
  • NETWORK_TIME_WRITE : Time spent on network write operations in milliseconds
Technical: Guiding Services
  • GUIDING_AC_LOOK : Guiding account lookup operations
Business and Technical: Services via the HCI technical interface
  • HTTP_OPS: HTTP operations treated on HCI; This includes business operations (master data configuration) and administrative operations.
Technical: General Services
  • UPTIME: Time in milliseconds since the startup
Technical: Database Services
  • SQL_QUERIES: SQL transaction queries to the back-end database system
  • SQL_COMMIT: SQL transaction commits to the back-end database; The reported duration is the sum of the times the commit calls took to return and not the times that the commits have been performed by the database.
Technical: Transaction Integration Framework
  • TIF_CLEAR: Clear operations
  • TIF_RECLEAR: Reclear operations
  • TIF_CLEAR_ON_RESERVATION: Clear on reservation operations (only available if the value of the TRANSAC_PROC_CLASS parameter is an implementation of the ITransactionProcessorV2 interface)
Business: EZTax Services
  • EZ_CPT_TAX: Tax computations using EZTax BillSoft for US Telecommunications taxes

Example

The information item SQL_QUERIES:48316,4656 means that the instance of the SAP CC Core Server system has generated 4,656 SQL transaction queries since its startup. The average is 4,656/48,316 (duration/quantity).
