Displaying Top 40 Response Times

Use

From the workload monitor, you can display further detailed workload statistics for an application server configured in your system, over a specified time period. These statistics, or hitlists, help you pinpoint the transactions that use the most resources, by displaying a list of the 40 dialog steps with the longest response time or the 40 dialog steps with the highest number of database calls.

For Release 4.6C you should display the hitlists using the old workload monitor in Transaction ST03.

You can use the hitlists to answer the following questions:

Does the same program always have high response times

Is this program running at the same time in several sessions (locking work processes)?
How many KB of information are transferred?
Could the program be started at night in the background?

Procedure

Start the workload monitor by choosing CCMS ® Control/Monitoring ® Performance Menu ® Workload ® Analysis.
Choose Choose for analysis and select the instance that you want to analyze.

In the next dialog box, select the time period that you want to analyze.

Choose Goto ® Hitlists ® Top 40 resp. time, or Top 40 DB requests, or choose Top Time on the application toolbar.

You can switch between the response time list and the DB requests list by choosing either Top time or Top requests.

To display more details, double-click a line in the table. Choose Task to display a list of memory usage.
