RFC - Get Perf Data 700
This workflow is designed for use on SAP kernel releases 700 or later. It uses the SWNC_COLLECTOR_GET_DIRECTORY RFC to obtain a range of dates for which performance history data is available, and the SWNC_COLLECTOR_GET_AGGREGATES RFC to extract the available application and user statistics. The workflow populates the AppStats and External Data Sources with the extracted performance history data, overwriting them if they have already been created.
The AppStats External Data Source has the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| TYPE | The type of each used object. |
| NAME | The name of each used object. |
| ACCOUNT | The SAP account that used the object. |
| COUNT | The usage count for the object. |
The UserStats External Data Source has the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| TYPE | The type of each used object. |
| NAME | The name of each used object. |
| ACCOUNT | The SAP account that used the object. |
| PERIOD | The month in which the object was used, specified in the form YYYYMM. |
| COUNT | The usage count for the object. |
Creating RFC Destinations
Before you begin, you will need to create an RFC Destination for the SAP system from which to retrieve performance history data.
Preparing the Workflow
To prepare the RFC - Get Perf Data 700 workflow, log in as a LiveCompare Editor and drag its workflow template from the Templates folder into your own workspace. Then modify the workflow as follows:
To specify the system from which to retrieve performance history data:
-
Select the System 3 parameter and choose ‘Edit RFC Destination’ from its context menu to display the RFC Destination dialog.
-
Select the appropriate RFC Destination, then click ‘Save’.
Save the workflow using the ‘Save’ toolbar button.
Running the Workflow
To run the RFC - Get Perf Data 700 workflow, click the ‘Run’ toolbar button, choose ‘Run Now’ from the diagram’s context menu, or press F5. The currently running action is marked with an animated display. When the workflow execution has completed, the AppStats and UserStats External Data Sources will be populated with the extracted performance history data.
Performance History Workflows
The Upgrade package includes four workflows designed to retrieve performance history data. Native - Get Perf Data uses the Get Performance History Data action, RFC - Get Perf Data uses RFCs suitable for pre-700 kernel releases, RFC - Get Perf Data 700 uses RFCs suitable for kernel releases 700 and above, and XDS - Get Perf Data reads performance history data from LiveCompare External Data Sources.
If you plan to run the U.01, U.03, U.04, U.05, U.06, U.08, U.09, U.11, U.12, U.13 or Run Complete Analysis workflows from the Upgrade package, one of the above workflows should be run first to provide the required performance history data.
