SmartForm - Bad Performance in Generated Function Module

Former Member — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 21:43:13 GMT

Hi all,

My team developed some complex SmartForms with many tables and lots of data.

We are taking about 25 seconds to process a 13 page form.

Most time is inside function SSFCOMP_WRITE_TEXT and form TEXT_ANALYSIS.

Our system is Unicode. We are generating PDF and this time does not include the CONVERT_TO_OTF (other point of bad performance).

We don't have custom abap code in these forms definition.

Does anyone have a recommendation regarding best practices to build or call the form or to configure the system?

Best Regards,

Jose Baptista

Roberto,

I have just one point to add. Even though the Smartform allows you to write code within the form, it is not a good idea. As far as possible use the form just as a template and do all the processing in the controlling program (program that calls the Smartform). This will help you analyse the performance of the code. I am not sure if you can do that accurately when the code is in the smartform.

Hi Mark,

As I told, we do not have Abap logic in the smartform.

The system is taking a long time to process the standard generated function module (mainly inside function module SSFCOMP_WRITE_TEXT). I observed that this function interprets the Text Elements definition and processes each field and formatting command defined in the form.
