SAP Note 17750 - Workload: Time profile also for night hours

Symptom:

In the workload statistics (transaction ST03), the time profile returns the workload of the system or application server on an hourly basis. For night hours, however, the workload proportions are only output as cumulative for the time blocks 2100-2400 and 0000-0600.

Reason and Prerequisites

The time block is hard-coded and cannot be changed using Customizing.

Solution

Intervention in a DATA/CONSTANTS statement, which defines the time block:

1. Release 2.1 and 2.2

Change the DATA statement for the fields TIM1 and TIM2 in the
include RSSTATDA:

For an advance correction: R/3 standard for the above data fields:

DATA:
TIM1(48) VALUE '000000000000060708091011121314151617181920212121'.
*
*-Assigned end hours:---------------------------------------------- *
*
TIM2(48) VALUE '060606060606070809101112131415161718192021242424'.

The following change will result in an hourly display for the night hours as well:

TIM1(48) VALUE '000102030405060708091011121314151617181920212223',
*
*-Assigned end hours:----------------------------------------------
*
TIM2(48) VALUE '010203040506070809101112131415161718192021222324'.

2. Release 3.0 or higher, and lower than 4.6A.

Change the CONSTANTS statement for the fields start_of_period and end_of_period in the include LSTUWTOP.

For an advance correction: R/3 standard for the above data fields:

Constants: start_of_period(48) type c value
'000000000000060708091011121314151617181920212121',
end_of_period(48) type c value
'060606060606070809101112131415161718192021242424'.

The following change will result in an hourly display for the night hours as well:

Constants: start_of_period(48) type c value
'000102030405060708091011121314151617181920212223',
end_of_period(48) type c value
'010203040506070809101112131415161718192021222324'.

3. As of Release 4.6A to Release 6.40, implement the attached
correction instructions.

4. As of Release 7.00, see Note 910897.

Note the following:
This change is not effective for workload analyses that were performed before the change was implemented. The change will increase the disk space for the table MONI, which stores the workload data.
