Displaying Spool Statistics
In the workload monitor, you can display the workload in different analysis views which highlight the workload from a particular perspective. One of these aspects is the question of how much workload occurs due to spool requests. With this information, you can answer questions such as:
- How many spool requests with which properties were executed on the selected instance or the entire system?
- How long was the average response time and the average wait time for spool requests?
- Which and how many logical transaction steps were there in spool work processes?
The spool statistics are therefore useful for spool administrators who want to check what was output in each application server.
The analysis view Spool Statistics may not be available for every configured application server in your SAP system.
- Start the Workload Monitor by calling transaction ST03.
- Ensure that you are in the Expert User Mode.
- In the Workload tree, choose the instance and period to be analyzed.
