Technical Statistics, Expert Trace, and Divergence Analysis 

Use

If errors have occurred during cycle processing, the technical statistics, expert trace and divergence analysis let you analyze those errors which you cannot solve using the system messages.

• You use a cycle with iterative sender/receiver relationships
• These relationships are taken into account when you execute the cycle
• An error arose that led to a divergence (see: Iterative Allocation)

1. To execute an error analysis using technical statistics, in the periodic allocation basic list choose Technical statistics or Tools ® Technical statistics.

This system displays a tree structure with the following information:

1. Runtime of all cycles (insofar as more than one exists)
2. Runtime log
3. Selection criteria
4. Database access
5. Sender values on the database
6. Receiver values on the database
7. Sender values to be allocated, broken down into periods
8. Receiver values to be allocated, broken down into periods
9. Line item table
2. The following functions let you change the tree structure display:
1. To expand the tree structure or a subtree, position your cursor on the appropriate node and choose Expand.
2. To collapse the tree structure or a subtree, position your cursor on the appropriate node and choose Collapse.
3. To display only a subtree, position your cursor on the appropriate node and choose Set focus.

1. To display the expert trace, choose Tools ® Expert trace.
2. Select the required information and double click on the cycle for which you require the information.

The system gives you information on the contents of the individual database fields.

3. To return to the basic list, choose Basic list.

To analyze divergences occurring for cycles with iterative sender/receiver relationships, choose Tools ® Divergence analysis.
