Display of Performance Data for the Model or Backend 

Use

The performance of a backend, such as an SAP system, depends on the SAP system used. To test the performance of a SAP system, you must perform the following steps in the SAP system to be tested:

...

       1.      To start an RFC trace, start Transaction ST05.

       2.      Start the application you want to measure.

       3.      Stop the RFC trace.

       4.      To display the results, go to Transaction ST05 or STAD if you want to display detailed information.

With this administration tool you can also get performance data and times that occur for a request to load data from an SAP system.

Prerequisites

You have administrator rights for the J2EE Engine or for SAP Enterprise Portal. If you do not have administrator rights, you can only access a small part of the monitoring information.

Features

As for the Web Dynpro framework, the gross and net times resulting from using an adaptive RFC model are displayed in a table.

Columns GrossTotal and GrossAvg contain the gross and net times of the adaptive RFCs. In order to interpret the performance data correctly, you should understand the difference between gross and net times of a method. Gross times are accumulated times. Net times are gross times minus the times for sub-methods. It is thus possible to determine whether the method itself or the included parts are responsible for the performance problem.
