You can display performance data that you have called in the Display details screen. You can use this data to compare at a glance, for example,the individual response times for three application servers, and to analyze any trends that occur within your R/3 System.

Each value in the graphical display is expressed as a value between 0 and 1 so that you can compare different values with each other. For example, you can easily compare CPU performance with the number of users who have logged onto an application server, even though these are expressed as different units of value.

Release 4.6A offers new functions for displaying the curve. You can use the Fit function to examine the correlation between different curves. When you choose this function, the maximum value of the curve is assigned to value 1 in the graphical display, and the minimum value is assigned to value 0. As a result you can clearly see the correlation between the two curves.

There are two further display options: you can display only a section of the performance data curve, and you can change the scale of the display so that any differences in the values that were reported become more visible.

The new graphical display can also indicate "holes" in the measurement data, for example, if a system has not been active for a certain period of time, there is a gap in the display to indicate that no values have been reported over that period.

You can also choose how you want to display the performance data graphically. Depending on your preference, you can display the data in several different forms (such as a bar graph, pie chart or table).

1. From the R/3 initial screen, choose Administration ® CCMS ® Control/Monitoring ® Alert monitor. Alternatively, call Transaction RZ20.
2. Expand the monitor set that contains the monitor you require and choose Monitor (set) ® Load monitor.
3. Select the performance MTE(s) that you require (display the Legend if you are unsure of the icons used in the alert monitor) and choose Display details
4. Select the checkboxes of the data rows that you wish to include in the graph. You can combine data from multiple rows that belong to different MTEs.
5. Choose Display performance values graphically. The alert monitor displays the data that you have selected.
6. If you want to save the graph by printing it, making a screen capture of the graphics window, mailing it, and so on, choose Settings ® Legend.
