Overview & Introduction
The runtime analysis tool allows you to examine the performance of any ABAP programs, such as reports, subroutines,
function modules or classes, that you create in the ABAP Workbench. It saves its results in performance data files,
which you can display as lists. You can use these results to identify runtime-intensive statements, to combine table
accesses, and show the hierarchy of program calls. Normally you use the runtime analysis tool to measure the runtime
of complex program segments or complete transactions (if you want to measure the runtime of smaller program
segments or individual ABAP statements you can use the ABAP statement GET RUN TIME FIELD ). However, we use
only simple examples in this weblog, in order to make the understanding easier.
The Programs to be Analysed
Let's assume I am a very newbie in ABAP and I have written a tiny little program which is doing the following: - reading
data from a database table - storing that data in an internal table - display that data on a list (at the start of the program
you have to specify certain key values; only matching data should be displayed later on). So here it comes (and it seems
to work as designed ...) REPORT y_wlog_atra_1. PARAMETERS: p_carrid TYPE sbook-carrid DEFAULT
'LH', p_connid TYPE sbook-connid DEFAULT '0400'. DATA: wa_sbook TYPE sbook, itab_sbook
TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF sbook. SELECT * FROM sbook INTO wa_sbook. CHECK: wa_sbook-carrid
= 'LH' AND wa_sbook-connid = '0400'. APPEND wa_sbook TO itab_sbook. ENDSELECT. LOOP AT
itab_sbook INTO wa_sbook. WRITE: /, wa_sbook-carrid, wa_sbook-connid, wa_sbook-fldate,
wa_sbook-bookid, wa_sbook-customid, wa_sbook-custtype. ENDLOOP. A nice colleague has thrown a
glance at my source code. He has given the hint to use a WHERE clause with the SELECT statement instead of the
CHECK statement for reasons of better performance. So I have written another program ... REPORT y_wlog_atra_2.
... SELECT * FROM sbook INTO wa_sbook WHERE carrid = 'LH' AND connid = '0400'. APPEND
wa_sbook TO itab_sbook. ENDSELECT. ... I am curious about the performance now. Let's compare the 2
variants with the ABAP Runtime Analysis tool ...
ABAP Runtime Analysis: Tool & Procedure
To start it, choose Test --> Runtime Analysis in the SAP Menu, or use transaction SE30 . The runtime analysis
procedure consists of two parts: - Recording performance data (upper part of the screen) - Analyzing the performance
data (lower part of the screen; this part only appears if there are performance data files in place) The procedure for the
first part (Recording performance data): - we go to the initial screen of the runtime analysis (transaction code SE30 ) and
specify the name of the first program (Y_WLOG_ATRA_1)in the relevant input field. After that we press the button
Execute .

selection-screen of the program Y_WLOG_ATRA_1(including the 2 input fields) is displayed. At the bottom of the screen
we are informed that the measurement has been started. We continue by clicking the Execute button. Later on we will
see that a file (containing performance data) has been created in parallel.
Now
we repeat that procedure for our second program (Y_WLOG_ATRA_2). The second step is the analysis of the
generated performance data. To do that we have to go to the initial screen of the Runtime Analysis tool again. On the
bottom part of the screen you can specify those performance data files you want to analyse. You can see some
information related to the last measurement run (in our case that was program (Y_WLOG_ATRA_2). By pressing the
button Other File we are able to select those performance data files we like to analyse.
I want
to see all the files I have created (user BCUSER).
I get the relevant list with 2 lines
(related to the performance data files of the programs Y_WLOG_ATRA_1 and Y_WLOG_ATRA_2). Based on that list
you can display the distinct performance data per line. You have to click in the column Object Type of the relevant line.
As a start the tool
displays the evaluation overview (showing the cumulated execution times for the ABAP, database and system-level).
Here comes the evaluation overview for program Y_WLOG_ATRA_1
We can do
the same for the other program Y_WLOG_ATRA_2
By
comparing the perfomance data of the 2 programs we clearly see that I have done well with listening to the advice of my
colleague. The performance of the second program is dramatically better. In the next step you can forward to a more

detailed display of the performance data (Hitlists). That listing shows the different granular execution steps ( according to
your filter adjustments ). Here you can easily identify the most time-consuming progam units.
And it will
also be a good idea to glance at the Tips & Tricks corner. You will find many valuable suggestions about good
performance definitely.

Hi Johannes,
This weblog will be informative for the beginners..
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,

Before runnung the analysis, you have to activate your program ... otherwise results will be different but
you won't get an error message.
Took me some time to understand this....
