1 Summary
The following chapters describe the actions that BW operation needs to perform to keep a BW landscape
well performing and in the best possible condition. These actions improve speed (loading as well as
reporting), as well as a small(er) database. They also improve the stability of the landscape: lesser failed
uploads, stable source system connections, consistent master data and lesser problem reports by the user.
Chapter 2 describes the activities that ‘BW operations’ needs to take care of.
Chapter 3 describes in more detail all monitoring activities of BW operations
Chapter 4 describes in more detail all system health improving activities
Chapter 5 describes in more detail all performance improving activities
Chapter 6 describes in more detail all activities to free up database space
Chapter 7 describes in more detail all activities related to changes to the BW landscape
Appendix A: SAP kernel and database settings that need to be taken into account for good performance.
Appendix B: one-time actions to be taken to assure the correct working and proper performance.

3 Monitoring
3.1 Batch jobs
Tool: tx SM37, tx ZDAILY
Check with tx SM37 all batch jobs that have status ‘Canceled’. Try to solve the issue, perhaps by rerunning
the batch job.
Example of canceled batch jobs:
3.2 Data loads

Tools: tx RSMO, tx RSMON, tx RSPC, tx RSPCM, tx ZDAILY
o Make sure all InfoPackages (groups) finished successfully with tx RSMO.

o Make sure all process chains have finished successfully. Rerun them if necessary.
o Make also sure the InfoPackages loaded via the PSA are also booked from PSA into their data targets.
o Verify if transaction data loads with 0 records are valid.
o Analyze PSA error requests that occur. Determine if the error records are valid.
Example of the load monitor:
3.3 Report ability of data

Tools: tx RSA1 (maintenance of InfoCubes / ODS objects), tx ZDAILY.

o Check if the data in all active InfoCubes is reportable. Data could be loaded, but aggregates are not
rolled up yet.
o Check also if data in all active ODS objects is activated and booked into it’s data targets.
Example of unreportable data loads:
In ODS SAPP_O01 2 data request are not booked to their data targets.
3.4 Missing indexes

Tools: tx DB02, tx ZDAILY, tx SE14
o Run tx DB02 to find out if there are missing indexes.
Example:

In previous screenprint 3 indexes and 4 tables are missing.
o Make sure there are no database indexes missing other than the ones that are dropped to speed up
data loads into an InfoCube. Perform this test multiple times a day. If InfoCube indexes stay missing,
create them via the maintenance screen of InfoCubes, Performance tab.
Example:

If the indexes don’t belong to an InfoCube, like in the example, create them by using tx SE14
3.5 Free space

Tools: tx DB02
o Make sure that there’s enough database space free for the system. How much needs to be free,
depends on the system. The table space that contains the BW related data should have at least 30GB,
depending on how much data is added on a daily basis. If there’s not enough free space, it’s a good
idea to start deleting unused PSA packages. If that is not possible, start the process of adding more disk
space to the application.
Example:
In this example there are no Space-critical objects and the Total free/kb is about 33% of the database size.
In this example the main table space PSAPBWP is free for 33%. No problem here.
3.6 ABAP dumps

Tools: tx ST22, tx ZDAILY
o Try to solve recurring ABAP dumps. Apply SAP notes if needed.

Example:
3.7 System logs

Tools: tx SM21, tx ZDAILY
o Try to solve recurring problems in the system log. Apply SAP notes if needed.
Example of some problems in the system log:
3.8 Internet Graphic server (IGS)

Tools: tx ZDAILY, ABAP ‘BW_IGS_CHART_TEST’
o Check if the IGS is still operational using ABAP ‘BW_IGS_CHART_TEST’. If not fix it.
An example of a correct working IGS server:

3.9 Aggregates
Tool: tx RSA1, tx RSMON
Aggregates should boost query performance on an InfoCube, but also cost time to activate master data and
load performance to fill them. An aggregate should not be created lightly: there has to be a good reason for
it’s existence.
o Check the usage of aggregates. Determine that the aggrgate is actually used or useful for filling other
aggregates. If not, delete the aggregate. If an aggregate is activated, but not filled, remove it.
Example of 2 bad aggregates, that are never used since creation:
Example of a non-filled aggregate:
3.10 Query performance

Tool: tx RSRT, queries on the BW statistics InfoCubes
o Run a BW statistics report to show the top 25 of worst performing queries. Improve their performance.
3.11 Database backups

Tool: tx DB14 and others
o Make sure there is a daily backup made of the complete BW system

3.12 Restart server
Tool: tx OS06 and others
o Make sure the BW server is restarted periodically.
3.13 BW statistics
Tool: tx RSA1, Tools, BW statistics for InfoProviders, tx ZWEEKLY option 22
o Make sure all InfoProviders are switched on for BW statistics collection, the OLAP as well as the
warehouse management part. If the collection is switched on performance valuations can be made.
Example:
4 System health
4.1 Inactive BW objects
Tool: tx ZDAILY, ABAP ‘RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL’, transports
o Make sure the following BW objects are always active:

o Transfer rules
o Update rules
o InfoObjects
o InfoCubes
o ODS objects
o MultiProviders
o And all others
In a BW some object can become inactive due to some reasen. If update rules become inactive it’s
impossible to load data via them anymore.
If transfer rules are inactive, they can be activated without transport via ABAP
‘RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL’. All other inactive objects should be repaired by transport rather than
activating them in the system itself (via opening it).
4.2 Query consistency

Tool: tx ZDAILY, tx ZWEEKLY option 08, tx RSRT, ABAP ‘RSR_GEN_DIRECT_ALL_QUERIES’, ABAP
‘RENAME_DUPLICATE_ELEMENTS’, ABAP ‘ANALYZE_RSZ_TABLES’
o Make sure there are no queries with duplicate names. Run ABAP
‘RENAME_DUPLICATE_ELEMENTS’ to correct any inconsistencies. See not 541024 for further
details.

o Make sure the metadata tables of queries are consistent. Run ‘ABAP ANALYZE_RSZ_TABLE’ to
check and repair this.
o Run ‘RSR_GEN_DIRECT_ALL_QUERIES’ on a weekly basis for all queries, so ZDAILY will show all
queries that don’t compile. Compiled queries are also faster when running them.
o Make sure all queries compile (and are therefore consistent). If they don’t compile repair them of delete
them.
Queries become inactive (and inconsistent) if something changes to their InfoProvider. Sometimes a
characteric is deleted from the InfoCube, but a certain query is not changed. Result: de query won’t run
naymore.ZDAILY will show all those inactive queries. Queries can be compiled via RSRT or via ABAP
‘RSR_GEN_DIRECT_ALL_QUERIES’. If a query doesn’t compile, fix it in BW-D.
Example of an inactive query:
4.3 Source system connections

Tool: tx RSA13, tx ZDAILY, tx ZWEEKLY option 12, ABAP ‘RS_LOGSYS_ACTIVATE’
o Make sure all source system connections are consistent and active. If not, repair the connection or
remove it.
Inconsistent source system connections make it impossible to load data. Example of inconsistent
connections (in this case connection INFORDEV):
4.4 Reorganize unsed workbooks and favourites

Tool: tx ZWEEKLY option 02, ABAP ‘RSWB_ROLES_REORG’
o Run ABAP report ‘RSWB_ROLES_REORG’ to delete workbooks not assigned to any role or favorites.
When users or authorization roles are deleted, workbooks linked to roles of favourites get unreferenced and
cannot be called anymore. The mentioned ABAP will remove via a selection screen all relations.
Example of the selection screen:

4.5 tRFC entries
Tool: tx SM58, tx ZWEEKLY option 03
o Clean up transactional RFC’s from cancelled loads in all BW- and connected systems.
When a data loads cancels, some residu’s are left behind in the system(s). One of those residue’s are
tRFC’s. SM58 shows those tRFC’s and offers a reorganize (delete) option.
Example of error tRFC’s:
4.6 Unreferenced objects

Tool: tx ZWEEKLY option 09, tx ZMONTHLY option 14 till 22
Cleanup unreferenced / inconsistent objects in the database in the most broadest sense of the word.
o Check transfer rules consistency by running ABAP ‘RSAR_TRANSTRUCTURE_CHECK’. See note

577022 for more details.
o Correct PSA tables (Oracle) that have partition number 0 by running ABAP
‘SAP_PSA_ZEROCORRECT’. These are inconsistent and need to be fixed. See SAP note 856097 for
further details.
Run ABAP ‘SAP_PSA_ZEROCORRECT’ to correct PSA table with partition number 0. Sometimes a
correction can be made, so the data is still available. If this correction cannot be made, the content is
deleted.

o Clean up unreferenced PSA metadata objects by using ABAP ‘RSAR_PSA_CLEANUP_DEFINITION’.
See note 739407 for further details.
o Clean-up unused / inconsistency PSA tables by running ABAP ‘RSAR_PSA_CLEANUP_DIRECTORY’.
See note 773371 for further details.
o Activate inactive communication structures by running ABAP ‘RS_COMSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL’. See
note 542872 for further details.
o Correct duplicate transfer structures in table RSISOSMAP by running ABAP
‘RSAR_RSISOSMAP_REPAIR’. See note 613449 for further details.
o Correct source system consistency (table ROOSGEN) by running ABAP
‘RS_SRCSYSTEM_TS_CHECK’.
o Check the consistency of DDIC names for transfer rules and InfoSources by running ABAP
‘RSAR_DDIC_NAME_CONFLICT’. See also note 542872.
o Correction for the technical name of transfer structures and communication structures by running ABAP
‘RSAR_STRUCTURE_NAMES_CHECK’.
o Clean obsolete entries in table DBDIFF, by running ABAP ‘SAP_UPDATE_DBDIFF’.
4.7 InfoObjects
Tool: tx RSD1 F8, tx ZWEEKLY option 10, ABAP ‘RSDMD_CHECKPRG_ALL’, ABAP
‘RSDG_IOBJ_REORG’
o Check the consistency of the content of the master data and text tables of InfoObjects and repair any
inconsistencies.
Run frequently ABAP ‘RSDMD_CHECKPRG_ALL’ to check the consistency of all InfoObjects and repair
inconsistencies. See note 447341 for further details.

o Check the consistency of the meta data of InfoObjects.
Run ABAP ‘RSDG_IOBJ_REORG’ to check the consistency of all InfoObjects and repair any
inconsistencies to the definitions.
4.8 Datasource replication and transfer rules activation

Tool: tx ZUTIL3 option 13, ABAP ‘ZSS_REPLICATE’, ABAP ‘RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL’
o To avoid problems in uploads, replicate all datasources of all connected source systems, and afterwards
regenerate all transfer rules of all source systems.
4.9 User ID’s

Tool: tx SU01
o Lock all users that haven’t logged on to the system in the last 3 months
o Delete all users from the system that haven’t logged on for the last 6 months.
4.10 Unused queries

Tool: BW statistics queries
o Determine unused queries and delete them
4.11 Early watch report

Tool: tx SDCC
o Run tx SDCC for an unedited version of the SAP Early Watch report. Try to solve the recommendations.

5 Performance
Tool: tx OS06, tx SM04, tx AL08, tx SM50, tx SM51, tx SM66, tx ST03, tx ST04
o Check CPU load with transaction OS06.

o Check the number of users logged on to the system with SM04 or AL08.
o Check the workload of the system with transaction ST03.

5.1 Database and SAP statistics

Tool: tx ZWEEKLY option 04, tx DB14, ABAP ‘SAP_ANALYZE_ALL_INFOCUBES’, ABAP
‘ZCHECK_IC_DB_STATISTICS’
o Calculate good database statistics
For Oracle databases, run the BRCONNECT script to calculate good database statistics. Use tx DB14 to
view the result of the batch job. If the job aborts or runs too long like in the next example, double click on the
line to review the joblog.
Example of a wrong Update optimizer statitstics:
The detailed log:

o Recalculate good BW statistics for InfoCubes
Job on basis of ‘SAP_ANALYZE_ALL_INFOCUBES’ (note 129252): run once a week to collect good SAP
statistics on InfoCubes.
Run periodically function ‘RSDDCVER_DB_STATISTICS’ (or ABAP ZCHECK_IC_DB_STATISTICS) to

calculate database statistics for an InfoCube.
Use transaction RSRV (and RSRVALT) on a regular basis to check InfoCubes. Most importantly tag
‘Database’, options ‘DB statistics of an InfoCube and its aggregates’ to check the health of an InfoCube
5.2 Unused dimension table entries

Tool: tx RSRVALT, ABAP ‘UNUSED_ENTRIES_IN_DIM_TABLES’
o Remove unused dimension table entries of an InfoCube.
Run function module ‘RSDRD_DIM_REMOVE_UNUSED’ to delete unused dimension table entries of an

InfoCube. You can also do this by running RSRVALT, tag ‘InfoCube data’, option ‘Unused entries in the
dimensions of an InfoCube’. Or by running ABAP ‘Z_UNUSED_ENTRIES_IN_DIM_TABLES’.
5.3 BW statistics
Tool: BW statistics queries

o Evaluate the system performance using BW statistics queries.
5.4 InfoCube indexes

Tool: tx RSA11, Manage (of InfoCubes), Performance tab
o Drop indexes on all InfoCubes, and recreate them. Suggestion: change the first and next extent sizes of
the InfoCube F-, E- and dimension tables (with SE14).
Use transaction RSRV (and RSRVALT) on a regular basis to check InfoCubes. Most importantly tag
‘Database’, option ‘Indices of an InfoCube and its aggregate’ to check the health of an InfoCube.
Example of RSRVALT on InfoCube SFP_C04:
And the result:
5.5 Read mode of queries and InfoCubes

Tool: tx ZWEEKLY option 22, tx RDMD, tx RSRT
o Switch the read mode of InfoCubes and queries to type ‘H’ (tx RSRT and RDMD). Also check regularly if
the read mode stays ‘H’ for new InfoCube / query developments. See notes 422527.

One can find the InfoCubes with the wrong read mode by looking in table RSDCUBE, column READMODE,
and for queries table RSRREPDIR column READMODE.
6 Free space
6.1 Unsed database partitions
Tool: tx ZWEEKLY option 01, ABAP ‘SAP_DROP_EMPTY_FPARTITIONS’, ABAP ‘ZBW0005’
o Remove unused and empty partitions in the F-table of InfoCubes.
Run frequently ABAP ‘SAP_DROP_EMPTY_FPARTITIONS’. See note 430486 for further details.
Or run ABAP ‘ZBW0005’ to check all InfoCubes in one run. Corrections still needs to be carried out with
ABAP ‘SAP_DROP_EMPTY_FPARTITIONS’.
6.2 Temporary tables

Tool: tx ZWEEKLY option 051 and 052, tx ZUTIL option 15, ABAP ‘SAP_DROP_TMPTABLES’, ABAP
‘RSAN_RTT_CLEAR_TEMP_TABLES’
o Run frequently or schedule ABAP report ‘SAP_DROP_TMPTABLES’. See notes 308533, 449841 for
further details

o Run frequently or schedule ABAP report ‘RSAN_RTT_CLEAR_TEMP_TABLES’.
Example of the output:
o Run frequently function module ‘RSDDS_CHANGERUN_TMPTABLS_DEL’ or tx ZUTIL, option 15. See

note 650780 for further details.
6.3 Log-files
Tool: tx ZWEEKLY options 061, 062 and 063, ABAP ‘SBAL_DELETE’, ABAP ‘RSTBPDEL’, ABAP
‘RSSM_ERRORLOG_CLEANUP’
Remove old application logs from the database
o Run periodically ABAP ‘RSSM_ERRORLOG_CLEANUP’ to remove old error logs (note 456150).
o Run periodically ABAP ‘RSTBPDEL’ to remove old database table logs (note 706478).
o Run periodically ABAP ‘SBAL_DELETE’ to remove old application logs (note 456150).
6.4 Archiving
Tool: tx SARA, tx ZWEEKLY option 11, ABAP ‘RSEXARCA’
