Retaining Specified Fields during ASR Overflow 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).
Overload protection compresses data in a specified sequence of fields, one after the other of them is not loaded into the BW system, in this sequence,depending on the degree of compression required. You can also configure the overflow protection so that specified fields, which you need for your reporting, are protected from compression, as described in this procedure.
Procedure
Note
You need the IDs of the ASR profiles and fields to be protected, to configure them. They are in ASR Profiles. The Profile ID
s are at the end of the first table, and the Field IDs
are in the second table.
To protect fields in an ASR profile, enter them in the table AICCMSBICONFIG
in transaction SE16, as follows: Insert a new row with the following values:
Field | Value |
|---|---|
| ASR_FUSE_PROTECTED_FIELD |
| <system ID>, e.g. PRD If the setting applies to all systems, enter *. |
| <System ID>~<Iistallation number>, e.g. PRD~1234567890 If the setting applies to all installations, enter *. |
| <ASR profile>, e.g. TIMES If the setting applies to all profiles, enter *. |
| Leave this field empty. |
| It is an index to distinguish between different rows with the same key. Enter 1 in the first entry with a key, and increment it for others, to make their keys different. |
| Enter the ID of the field to be protected. |
