Procedure documentationConfiguring Activation of ASR Overload Protection

 

BW-based reporting and other applications extract ABAP statistics (ASR) from managed systems, into the Business Warehouse assigned to the SAP Solution Manager. Depending on the usage of the managed systems, this can involve the transfer of very large amounts of data. To avoid such an impairment of the SAP Solution Manager, there is an ASR overload protection which automatically restricts the volume of data. The data is compressed by the removal of details, which reduces the system load, but some information which may be important for reporting applications, is also lost (see Configuring ASR Overflow Protection).

In the default configuration, overload protection is activated when more than 10000 data records are saved per hour, per instance of the managed system, and per ASR profile. You can change this value, as described in this procedure.

Procedure

You can change the restriction threshold value with configurations entries in the table AICCMSBICONFIG. You can specify threshold values individually, by system and ASR profile.

Call the transaction SE16, and insert a new row in the table AICCMSBICONFIG. Fill the fields as follows:

Field

Value

CONFIGTYPE

ASR_FUSE_THRESHOLD SOURCESYS

SOURCESYS

<system ID>, e.g. PRD

PARAMTYPE

<System ID>~<Iistallation number>, e.g. PRD~1234567890

PARAMNAME

<ASR profile>, e.g. TIMES

PARAMVALUE

<threshold value>, cannot be less than 10

Leave all other fields empty, or with their default values. You can also set the CHGUSER (User ID) and CHGTIME (Timestamp) fields. They are for documentation only, and have no functional results.

You can also put the value * in the fields SOURCESYS, PARAMTYPE and PARAMNAME. The configuration then applies to all systems or ASR profiles. You can use the following profile IDs in the field PARAMNAME, as well as *:

  • TIMES (Time profile)

  • RTDIS (Response time distribution)

  • RFCC (RFC Client)

  • RFCCD (RFC Client Destination)

  • RFCS (RFC Server)

  • RFCSD (RFC Server Destination)

  • EXSYS (Last external systems)

  • INBQ (Inbox queue)

  • TREXC (Trex Client)

  • WEBSD (Web Server Destination)

  • WEBS (Web Server)

  • WSCLN (Web Service Consumer)

  • WSSRV (Web Service Provider)

  • ETP (ESI Time Profile)

Example

  1. All systems and ASR profiles have a threshold of 5000 data records per hour:

    SOURCESYS

    PARAMTYPE

    PARAMNAME

    PARAMVALUE

    ASR_FUSE_THRESHOLD

    *

    *

    *

    5000

  2. A threshold value of 100 is used for all profiles in the system TST, for all other systems/profiles, 5000:

    CONFIGTYPE

    SOURCESYS

    PARAMTYPE

    PARAMNAME

    PARAMVALUE

    ASR_FUSE_THRESHOLD

    *

    *

    *

    5000

    ASR_FUSE_THRESHOLD

    TST

    *

    *

    100

  3. Time profile data in system PRD (installation number 1234567890) has a threshold of 1000000, all profiles of systems TST, 100, and all other systems/profiles (including the other profiles in system PRD), 5000
