Job running slow in an SAP system.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I would be grateful, if anyone could please let me know, all the probable causes, in which a Job can slow down in an SAP system.

Answers from the ABAP point of view would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Swaroop.

There are quite a few factors that can influence the runtime of a certain job:

- system load (number of users in the system and other jobs running)

- system config (resources available)

- individual job performance

In regard to individual performance the first question would be is it a standard SAP report that is executed or a custom report. In case of a custom report a runtime analysis (SE30) and a SQL trace (ST05) can reveal possible bottlenecks in the report design. In case of a standard report it might be worth raising an OSS (however a lot of reports vary greatly in runtime based on the selection criteria used).

So regardless of standard or custom a look at the selection criteria provided might help as well.

In case you have a specific problem with a report please provide more detailed information.

Hope that helps,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Can you also please tell me, as to how you would go along analysing the problem?

i.e in case of System load and System config, how you would investigate the problem?

And how you would take steps to resolve the issue?

Thanks & Regards,
