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.

Note Note

The technical statistics and the divergence analysis enable user analysis. The expert trace requires analysis by experts.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

To use technical statistics, expert trace and divergence analysis choose Settings in the initial screen and select Runtime log on in the dialog box. You need to make this setting before you execute the cycle.

In addition, divergence analysis requires that:

  • 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 )

Procedure

Displaying Technical Statistics

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

  2. 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

  3. 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 .

The system displays the subtree.

To display the higher subtrees once again, click on the cycle named in the first row.

Displaying the Expert Trace

  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.

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

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

Displaying Divergence Analysis

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