Hitlists: Display 40 Worst Response Times 

Use

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 which dialog steps and application steps have the longest response and database times. These are the hitlists. There are two hitlists of this type for the dialog statistics and for the application statistics:

·        Hitlists for Dialog Step Statistics

These hitlists list 40 transaction steps for each task type. There are hitlists for the transaction steps with the largest response time and those with the largest database time.

·        Hitlists for Application Statistics

These hitlists list 40 application statistics steps for each task type. There are hitlists for the application statistics steps with the largest response time and those with the largest database time.

The hitlists therefore allow you to identify the transaction steps that use most resources.

Using the hitlists, you can answer the following questions, among others:

·         Is it always the same program that has high response time?

·         Is this program running at the same time in several sessions (locking work processes)?

·         How many kilobytes of information were transferred?

·         Could the program be started at night in the background?

Procedure

...

       1.      Start the Workload Monitor by calling transaction ST03.

       2.      Choose the appropriate user mode. You can essentially display hitlists in any user mode, but the time period is also restricted for hitlists through the selection of the user mode.

       3.      In the Workload tree, choose the instance and period to be analyzed.

       4.      Choose  Analysis Views →  Hitlists.

       5.      Choose the desired hitlist.

       6.      To display more details, choose a line in the table by double-clicking it.
