ABAP/4 runtime analysis: Changes in release 3.0A

Description

1. Execute with options

Various options allow you to specify whether certain statements are to be explicitly measured.
a) With subroutines
If you select the With subroutines radio button, the PERFORM records are written explicitly to a performance data file. This option is set as the default.
b) With internal tables
If you select the With internal tables radio button, the following records are written explicitly to the performance data file:

- APPEND
- COLLECT
- SORT
- READ TABLE
This option is not set as a default and you are recommended to retain this setting if these statements are executed very often. You thus prevent the scope of the performance data file from becoming too big. In this case, the runtime of the above statements is added to the superior entry.
c) With technical DB information
If you select the With technical DB information radio button, the measurement times for the database related DB and buffer operations are written explicitly to the performance data file.
2. Execute with restriction to
a) Function module
If you select the Function module radio button and enter a valid function module name, only this function module is measure when you execute a transaction or a program.
b) All
If you select the Check all radio button, the whole transaction or program is measured.
3. Display filter
a) Extended to include the category system program. A system program is a program which has the status S (see ABAP/4 Editor -> Goto -> Attributes).
b) List display revised to depend on the setting of the display filter.
4. Faster algorithm when formatting statistical information
5. Partial analysis key

If you are performing a partial analysis, the area on the overview screen between the bar chart and the statistical overview contains a table with information about the current partial analysis in connection with the superior partial analysis and the overall anaylsis.
6. Authorization objects

Authorization objects are no longer displayed in runtime analysis. For a more comprehensiv analysis, use the SAP System trace instead (select Tools -> Administration -> Monitoring -> Traces -> System trace).
7. Group hit list
a) Grouping of entries by the object to which they refer
b) Refinement of category EXPORT, IMPORT, ...:
- Read/Load/Insert/Delete REPORT
- Read/Insert/Delete TEXTPOOL
- Import/Export ... MEMORY
- Import/Export ... DATASET
- Import/Export/Delete ... DATABASE
- Import/Export NAMETAB
- Import/Export DYNPRO
c) Extension of group Miscellaneous to include SYNTAX-CHECK FOR ...
8. Menu function documentation
a) The documentation for the pushbutton Group hit list contains the assignment of the individual calls measured to one category.
b) The documentation for the pushbutton Hit list /> contains other calls which were measured but not displayed in the group hierarchy.
9. Extension of group hit list to include the categories
a) DB operation
b) Buffer operation
10. Source code display
Link to editor (navigation option)
11. Print
Print single lists
12. Note: You should use the spool system to print long lists, since it allows you to determine a particular section of the list that you want to print.
13. Revision of authorization check
a) when executing runtime analysis
b) when executing transactions and reports within runtime analysis
14. Refinement of time distribution under DEC OSF/1
1. Application program
2. System program
3. Database interface (Open SQL)
4. Database interface (Native SQL)
5. Technical DB information
6. Matchcode processing
7. Screen runtime processing
8. Memory and program runtime control
