In the workload monitor, you can display the workload in differentanalysis views which highlight the workload from a particular perspective. One of these aspects is the question of how the workload is distributed among the various presentation servers and instances. With this information, you can answer questions such as:

  • What volume of data is exchanged between the individual presentation servers and SAP instances?
  • Which response times arise at the front end (GUI, front end network, and so on)?
  • Which presentation servers are causing what workload in a particular instance?
Procedure
  1. Start the Workload Monitor by calling transaction ST03.
  2. In the Workloadtree, choose the instance and period to be analyzed.
  3. Choose Analysis Views → Frontend Statistics.
  4. The system displays the usual output area, in which the requested workload is displayed.
