Use
The runtime analysis tool allows you to examine the performance of any transaction, ABAP program, or function module that you create in the ABAP Workbench. It saves its results in performance data files, which you can display on the screen. You can use these results to identify runtime-intensive statements, SQL statements, and show the hierarchy of program calls. If you want to keep performance data files for future reference, you can store them locally on the frontend.
From the results of the runtime analysis, you can identify:
Runtime analysis is intended for fine-tuning individual transactions, programs, and function modules.
If you only want to analyze or fine-tune a program’s database accesses, use the
Performance Trace instead of the runtime analysis. For fine-tuning at system level, use the
SAP System Trace.
Measuring the Runtime of Program Segments
Use the runtime analysis tool to measure the runtime of complex program segments or complete transactions, ABAP programs, and function modules.
If you want to measure the runtime of smaller program segments or individual ABAP statements, use the ABAP statement GET RUN TIME FIELD.
