XDS - Get Perf Data

This workflow reads performance history data from an External Data Source named ST03_CLEAN that stores Application Statistics generated by Tricentis’s Data Cleanser product. The workflow updates the performance history data by finding associated transactions and programs using the TSTC and TRDIR tables on the specified RFC Destination.

The resulting Application Statistics are written to the App Stats External Data Source. This External Data Source will be overwritten if it already exists.

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.

Creating RFC Destinations

Before you begin, you will need to create an RFC Destination for the source SAP system from which to retrieve program and transaction details.

Creating the Data Cleanser External Data Source

You will need to create an External Data Source named ST03_CLEAN to store the application statistics returned by the Data Cleanser.

Preparing the Workflow

To prepare the XDS - Get Perf Data 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 program and transaction details:

  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 the system to analyze, then click ‘Save’.

Save the workflow using the ‘Save’ toolbar button.

Running the Workflow

To run the XDS - Get Perf Data 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 External Data Source will be populated with the updated performance history data.

Performance History Workflows

The Upgrade package include two workflows designed to retrieve performance history data.

  • The Native - Get Perf Data workflow uses the Get Performance History Data action to extract User and Application Statistics from the specified RFC Destination. The performance statistics are stored in the ‘AppStats’ and ‘UserStats’ External Data Sources.

  • The XDS - Get Perf Data workflow reads performance history data from an External Data Source.
