Performance measuring RFC

Former Member — Fri, 25 May 2007 11:53:08 GMT

Hey there,

I just installed the SAPCRYPTOLIB. Now I´m thinking about performance issues with encrypted RFC-Connections.

Is there a possibility to trace the performance of these connections?

Thx a lot!

Oliver

Hi Oliver,

You can create a trace using ST01 and and mark the component "RFC Calls", when you do the analisys you'll be able to get the speed of the connection.

for example,

Starting Point :14:14:43:388,627

Exit :14:14:43:450,097

Hope this helps

Hey Juan,

I tried this via the trace in the transaction ST05.

But the result was, the a encrypted RFC-Connection takes the same time as a not encryed.

Why is that?

Well, the RFC SDK contains a test program called "SRFCTEST".

That test program offers to perform "performance tests".

You can perform those tests with and without using SNC; and you can control whether the RFC connection is closed (and reopened) each time the function module is called. Of course, the performance impact will be much higher if you open and close the RFC connection each time (similiar to SSL).
