Analysis of the processing of background jobs and of the background work processes used in BW background management enables you to define measures for improving the load of the work processes and the system.
You have the following options:
Displaying and Analyzing Background Jobs in BW Background Management
You are on the BW Background Management, Logs and Tools screen (transaction RSBATCH).
The figure below shows you all the jobs for executing BW processes that are known to BW background management and that ran during the last 24 hours. The jobs are executed with the following additional information:
This display is currently only available for the process PSAPROCESS (update PSA request).
By deleting the messages and parameters at regular intervals you prevent the table RSBATCHDATA from overflowing. We therefore recommend that you schedule a deletion job. Make sure that you only delete messages and parameters that you no longer need.

Displaying and Analyzing Background Work Processes
You are on the BW Background Management, Logs and Tools screen.
If there are more than 1000 background jobs, a dialog box appears that asks if the input help tables (for BW-specific selections) should be filled. If you want to make BW-specific selections in the work process display (for example with process chains), choose Fill.
On the Batch Processes and Job Logs screen, the work processes used in the last 24 hours on all servers is displayed in a Gantt diagram (background and dialog) with the following information:
Note that the percentage load of a work process can be more than 100% if a job is terminated in this work process and no end date was registered for the job.
If you make BW-specific selections, use the input help and do not enter the selections manually. Note that the input help is only available if it was previously filled. If there are more than 1000 background jobs, the system queries whether or not the input help should be filled when you call the overview from the work processes (see above).
The information displayed for the work processes refers to time intervals (one hour or 10 minutes). In this way you can analyze the load of individual work processes on a sever for a given time interval for a certain period of time and take the appropriate measures.
For example, if the process load at night is low, but other processes are not completed in the morning, you can move some processes from daytime operation to nighttime operation, thereby improving the parallel processing of your BW processes.
For example, if some background work processes are not busy, but dialog processes are missing, you can improve the distribution of the work process types.
