Survey Performance History 700

This workflow provides a summary of the performance history data available on the specified 700-kernel SAP system. It is similar to the Survey Performance History workflow, but is intended to be used with SAP systems that run a 700 kernel. It helps you to determine values for the Start Date and End Date parameters in workflows that retrieve performance history data.

The workflow calls the SWNC_COLLECTOR_GET_DIRECTORY RFC to extract the range of months for which performance history data is available. These results are stored in the Months With Data table dataset, which has the following columns:

Column Description
COMPONENT This field is set to ‘TOTAL’.
COMPTYPE This field is set to ‘NW Workload'.
ASSIGNDSYS The system ID of the SAP system.
PERIODTYPE This field is set to ‘M’.
PERIODSTRT The first day of a month for which performance history data is available.

The workflow extracts the earliest value from the STARTDATE column, and uses this as the Start Date parameter for the Get Performance History Data action. The application statistics retrieved are stored in the Application Statistics dataset, which 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.

Creating RFC Destinations

Before you begin, you will need to create an RFC Destination for the SAP system you wish to analyze.

Preparing the Workflow

To prepare the Survey Performance History 700 workflow, drag its workflow template from the Templates folder into your own workspace, then modify the workflow as follows:

To specify the system to analyze:

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

  2. Select the RFC Destination for the system to analyze, then click ‘Save’.

Save the workflow using the 'Save' toolbar button.

Running the Workflow

To run the Survey Performance History 700 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 each of the Months With Data and Application Statistics datasets and choose ‘View Details’ from the context menu to display each of the result tables.
