Average response times

Ubiria,

I did not notice whether you qualified the response times to be just for DIA?
You would want to make sure to do that.

If users are running reports "online" vs. submitting to batch; this could impact
your response time numbers. When we first went live, this happened to us.
Little things like making sure that the users do not have access to SE38 / SA38
& training, training on the "submit to batch" functionality

There are many indexes which we have built in response to poor performance; SAP
does not ship many as this would be too much overhead.
Also, tables which are shipped with buffering turned on & have become too large
to buffer causes performance issues therefore requiring the buffering to be
"turned off" on the table.

Custom ABAP has been our biggest problem. If the programmer does not run a SQL
trace over their code; there are times when the code is not doing what the
programmer expected.

I would pick one of your most frequently used transactions & work with a user to
perform ST05 traces over the transaction.
Look at the trace. Is the same record in a table being read multiple times? Is
a single select statement taking more that a subsecond.

Hope this adds some info too

Ubiria,

I would suggest looking at the average response times per transaction, not per
hour. The figures you sent can be very deceiving. For example, if you run SM50
every 2 seconds, for an entire hour, you will probably cut your reported
response times in half for that hour. Obviously, you are not attempting to
purposefully skew the results, but this is inherent in SAP. Your users will
perform many transactions heavily during certain periods of the day (for us, all
PGI occurs late in afternoon, for example).

Because of this, I believe that none of the aggregate figures are extremely
useful unless you view them per Tcode or program. Even then you have to be
careful. For example, VA01 may report times of 1500ms on average when on one
day it jumps to 3000ms. This perceived degradation in performance could be
attributed to many factors (normal orders are approximately 5 lines, on the bad
day a few orders came in with thousands of lines, etc.).

If you do an analysis by Tcode, you might find that only a handful of programs
are experiencing 'unacceptable response times'. There may be specific OSS
notes, recommended secondary indices, etc, for each offending
transaction/program. If, however, you find that all response times are
unacceptable for all programs/tcodes, then perhaps you have to analyze system
configuration, hardware, etc.

Hello again,

I've received the table in the mail in a way very difficult to read. I hope this
one is better.
