Performance Testing for CRM Mobile

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

we want to do some load and performance testing with the CRM Comm. Station and the Mobile Clients.

For this we need to simulate hundreds of users that are synchronizing the data from their local mobile client to the CRM communication station.

Some ideas on how to do this?

Thanks a lot for any suggestion!

I would try and do mass-generate BDocs via the middleware (e.g. by defining requests between CRM and CDB) which are in turn distributed to all the clients. This will provide you with alot of data for MW, commstation and client processing.

Hope his helps,

Hi Kai,

thanks for your reply. Can you also explain how to generate the mass BDocs to simulate the load? Do you also know how to measure the system / network behaviour?

Thanks a lot for any suggestion!

Hi Marc,

Have a look at tx. R3AR2 / R3AR3 / R3AR4 to load data from CRM to the CDB (and further to the mobile clients). You should be able to schedule the creation of such data loads also as a job: e.g. if you define a request for 1 BP and start this every 3 seconds, this would be equivalent to a BP change every 3 seconds. The same is true for sales orders or activities.

An alternative would be to use the ASCII Adapter (see help.sap.com) on this to mass-generate also BDocs.

I am not a Windows / network guy, so I cannot say how to measure performance here. But nevertheless you should have a look at commstation behaviour and also client behaviour if you execute such tests, as esp. client data processing is taking very long times if there is too many data sent to the clients.

Hope this helps,

Hi Kai,

thank you very much! For sure this helps!

If anybody has any suggestions about the network monitoring - would be great!
