Compare Used Objects

This workflow compares used objects obtained from performance history data on a specified SAP system with corresponding objects on a second system. The comparison results are used to generate an HTML report.

Creating RFC Destinations

Before you begin, you will need to create RFC Destinations for the system from which to retrieve performance history data, and for the second SAP system to compare.

In the LiveCompare hierarchy, select the RFC Destination from which to retrieve performance history data, and click the PHD tab. Enter a value (n) in the ‘Keep this many months of data:’ field, and click ‘Update Data’ to download the most recent <n> months of performance history data. You may also specify a schedule so that the available performance history data is downloaded at regular intervals. See the Retrieving Performance History Data help topic for details

Preparing the Workflow

To prepare the Compare Used Objects workflow, drag its workflow template from the Templates folder into your own workspace, and modify the workflow as follows:

To specify the system from which to retrieve used objects to compare:

  1. Select the System 1 parameter and choose ‘Edit RFC Destination’ from its context menu to display the RFC Destination dialog.

  2. Select the RFC Destination for which performance history data has been retrieved, then click ‘Save’.

Repeat the above steps to link the System 2 parameter to the RFC Destination for the second system to compare.

Save the workflow using the ‘Save’ toolbar button.

Running the Workflow

To run the Compare Used Objects workflow, click the 'Run' toolbar button, choose ‘Run Now’ from the diagram’s context menu, or press F5. The currently running workflow action is marked with an animated display. When the workflow execution has completed, select the Report URL dataset and choose ‘View Details’ from the context menu to access the generated report.
