Comparing Statistics Runs with a Reference Statistics Run

Prerequisites

Two or more evaluations must have run so that there are at least two statistics runs for you to compare.

Context

You want to use the History tab in transaction Translation Statistics (SLLS) to compare two or more statistics runs with a reference statistics run, so that you can see how the workload has developed over a specific period of time.

Procedure

Perform steps 1 to 4 in Displaying Statistics as a Coordinator.
On the History tab, enter one of the statistics run numbers (that are displayed in the far left column of the table) in the Reference Statistics No. field directly above the table.
Select one or more statistics runs that you want to compare with the reference statistics.
To display the statistics runs in the system itself, choose Display.
- To download the statistics runs, choose Statistics Download .
Caution
When downloading statistics from the system, make sure that you have maintained the same decimal notation in your user profile (transaction SU3) as on your operating system.

Results

The system displays or downloads the statistics runs according to the criteria you selected.

The statistics run that you entered in the Reference Statistics No. field is displayed in full at the top of the screen. For information on how to interpret the statistics, see Interpreting the Statistics as a Coordinator.

The other statistics runs that you selected are not displayed in full. Instead, you see how they deviate from the reference statistics run. For example:

Statistics run 45 for target language enUS contains:
- 51,019 lines in total, of which
- 705 lines are new
- 6 lines are modified
- 50,308 lines are translated
Statistics run 32 for target language enUS contains:
- 50,042 lines in total, of which
- 288 lines are new
- 47 lines are modified
- 49,707 lines are translated
You enter 45 in the Reference Statistics No. field, select statistics run 32, and choose Display.
Statistics run 45 is displayed in full at the top of the screen. You can see that it contains:
- 51,019 lines in total, of which
- 705 lines are new
- 6 lines are modified
- 50,308 lines are translated
Statistics run 32 is not displayed in full. Instead, you see how the figures deviate from those in statistics run 45. You therefore see the following figures:
- 977- lines in total (because statistics run 32 contains a total of 977 lines less than statistics run 45)
- 417- new lines (because statistics run 32 contains 417 new lines less than statistics run 45)
- 41 modified lines (because statistics run 32 contains 41 modified lines more than statistics run 45)
- 601- translated lines (because statistics run 32 contains 601 translated lines less than statistics run 45)
