Use

The runtime analysis allows you to examine the performance of ABAP programs such as reports, subroutines, function modules, or classes.

You use the results of the runtime analysis to identify runtime-intensive statements and to show the hierarchy of program calls. From the results, you can identify:

  • Excessive or unnecessary use of modularization units

  • CPU-intensive program functions

    Note

    You can also use the Runtime Analysis tool to analyze ICF services. In particular, you can evaluate Web Dynpro ABAP applications and BSP applications.

Integration

The runtime analysis is an integrated test tool within the ABAP Workbench.

They can call them from any screen. Choose Start of the navigation path System Next navigation step Utilities Next navigation step Runtime Analysis Next navigation step Execute End of the navigation pathfor this.

Features

  • The runtime analysis measures the CPU time required by ABAP statements.

    For more information, see Measurable Components.

  • The tool stores the measurement results in tables on the database, rather than on the current server. This way, the results are visible in the whole system.

  • The traces are saved in a non-release-specific plain text format.

  • To display the results, the runtime analysis uses the standard SAP list, which is accessible and allows sorting, summation, and other functions.
