Transferring Distributed Statistics Records
with CCMS Agents
Distributed Statistics
Records (DSRs) are an extension of the concept of the ABAP statistics
data. DSRs provide you with information for a DSR component about the workload
generated and the resources used in the system by actions. The following
components currently write DSRs:
●
TREX
●
SAP ITS in the SAP Web
Application Server
The DSRs are written to a separate directory in the file system of the DSR component. A specified number of files are written in each component subdirectory. A new statistics file is started hourly. As soon as the maximum number of files has been reached, the system overwrites the oldest statistics file.
Depending on the DSR component and release, this directory has the following path:
● J2EE Engine and TREX as of SAP NetWeaver 7.0:
UNIX: /usr/sap/ccms/<SysID>_<Inst. No.>/dsr
Microsoft Windows: [drive]:\usr\sap\ccms\<SysID>_<Inst. No.>\dsr
● All other DSR components, including J2EE Engine and TREX up to SAP NetWeaver 04:
UNIX: /usr/sap/tmp/dsr
Microsoft Windows: [drive]:\usr\sap\prfclog\dsr

This means that the DSR directory is instance-specific as of NW 7.0 for the DSR components J2EE Engine and TREX, while it is host-specific for all other DSR components.
It is now the task
of the CCMS agent to transfer these DSRs to the primary central monitoring
system CEN. You can display the data there in the
Global Workload
Monitor (aggregated data) and in the
functional trace
(unaggregated data).
