ST03 to Application Statistics

This workflow reads ST03 data from an External Data Source and formats it as Application Statistics suitable for use in other LiveCompare workflows, such as the Smart Impact Analysis workflow. The workflow may be used in situations where the Get Performance History Data action produces no results, but where a file of ST03 data is available.

You can either copy and paste the contents of this workflow into another workflow, or use a Run Workflow action to call this workflow directly. In either case, the results from this workflow should be used in place of the Application Statistics dataset in the second workflow.

The External Data Source must have at least the following columns:

Column Description
NAME A transaction code or program name.
COUNT The usage count for the transaction or program.

The results are stored in the Application Statistics Table dataset.

Creating an External Data Source

Before you begin, you will need to create an External Data Source for the ST03 data you wish to use. As described above, the External Data Source should have at least two columns, named NAME and COUNT.

Preparing the Workflow

To prepare the ST03 to Application Statistics workflow, drag its workflow template from the Templates folder into your own workspace, then modify the workflow as follows:

To specify an External Data Source:

  1. Select the Read ST03 External Data action and view its details in the Property Editor.

  2. Click the field to the right of the External Data Source property to display the ExternalDataSource dialog.

  3. Select the External Data Source that contains your ST03 data, then click ‘Save’.

To specify the system from which performance history data was obtained:

  1. Select the System 3 parameter and choose ‘Edit RFC Destination’ from its context menu to display the RFC Destination dialog.

  2. Select the appropriate RFC Destination, then click ‘Save’.

Save the workflow using the 'Save' toolbar button.

Running the Workflow

To run the ST03 to Application Statistics workflow, click the ‘Run’ toolbar button, choose ‘Run Now’ from the workflow’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 Application Statistics dataset and choose ‘View Details’ from the context menu to view the workflow’s application statistics.

Once you have verified the application statistics, you may either copy and paste the workflow’s contents into another workflow (such as the Smart Impact Analysis workflow), or use a Run Workflow action to call this workflow. In either case, the Application Statistics dataset from this workflow should be used in the target workflow.
