SAP Note 23984 - Workload analysis: duration of data storage

Symptom:

It is not clear where the settings for the duration that the data of Workload analysis is stored are made.

Cause and prerequisites

In the standard system, these storage periods are already preset. These settings are: 2 periods for daily data, weekly data and monthly data.

Solution
If the workload analysis data is to be deposited for longer periods, you can carry out the following:
Select Workload Analysis via: Tools > Administration > Monitor > Performance > Workload analysis. In this transaction, under: "Goto > Parameters (Performance Database)", you will find the change screen for the storage periods.
Via "Modify parameters", you can maintain the residence times, that is, they are ready for input. Under the column "Standard statistics", you can set the storage periods. Under the column "Time comparison data", you set the storage periods for long-term data (for example, performance comparisons of application hosts, time series, and so on). This data only takes up a small amount of space in the database.
