This DataSource transfers the ABAP statistics data from the source systems that are defined in the monitoring infrastructure.

The statistics data is read directly from the STAT statistics files in the file system of the instance host. The data is aggregated in the extractor, which is significantly more efficient than aggregation during the transformations in BI, as is done in the DataSource 0CCMS_WEBAS_STATREC_DATA.

Background

The DataSource is based on a DataSource type that was newly-developed for SAP NetWeaver 7.0. This type allows the transfer of segmented data, that is, the rows of the data table transferred to the BI interface contain subtables themselves. On the BI side, there is a separate PSA table for each subtable.

The data is loaded in two steps:

It is useful to combine the data load steps (that is, an InfoPackage for each DataSource and a DTP for each data target) into process chains. These process chains should also contain a step for the reorganization of the PSA tables, which deletes successfully processes requests from the PSA tables. The ABAP transaction CCMSBISETUP exists for this purpose. This transaction must be started in the BI system. It installs and configures the DataSources, the most important InfoProviders, and the data flow largely automatically. Use this transaction for the initial setup, since a manual installation and configuration is very laborious and requires advanced expert knowledge (more information: Configuring the BI Integration of CPH and Statistics Data).
