Schedule measurement in SE30 - running a report in the background

[former_member367551]

Dear experts,

I have a long running ABAP report and I will need to analyze its runtime for performance improvements.

How may I correctly run this ABAP report in the background from SE30 (runtime analysis tool)? The report has to be run using a specific variant for its selection screen inputs as well.

This is what I have done:

1. Go to SE30

2. Click on "For User/Service" button under "Schedule"

3. Create new Schedule Measurement with the following details:-

  - User (<my user name>),
  - Client (<properly specified>), 
  - External Session (Any), 
  - Processing Category (Background Processing), 
  - Object Type (Report),
  - Object Name (<ABAP report program name>),
  - Max. No. of Scheduled Measurements (1),
  - Expiration Date & Time (<properly specified>)

5. In the screen "Overview of Scheduled Measurements", I have the following displayed as well:-

  - Scheduled = 1
  - Started = 0
  - Errors = 0
  - Status = Being processed

Am I still on the right track here? (Started = 0 and there was no way I could specify the variant for the selection screen input values too)

Please help. Appreciate any inputs at all.

Thanks.

Hi,

you need to execute your report in background and you will see "Started = 1"

Hi,

with SE30 the job has to run on the same application server on which you started the messurement.

Might this be the reason.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I am doing samething but even though executing in background it does not says started = 1. Through which way we can measure Runtime Analysis of background job?

Hi,

you can try it with ST12 and the <ALL Servers> Option for tasktype B.

see this blog:

/people/hermann.gahm/blog/2010/03/22/st12-150-tracing-user-requests-tasks-http

ST12 uses SE30 / ST05 behind the covers. But here you can switch on

the trace for all servers and therefore don't have to take care for that yourself.

Kind regards,

Hermann
