performance tuning

Hi,

I have few tickets for performance tuning.Can any one explain me what i have to do for this.

I mean how to do performance tuning.

Thanks in advance.

Hi.,

You need to consider below points to improve the performance of any program you write. Any one can write the program, but

credit goes to one who writes efficiently. Performance plays key role for reports, BDCs.

• For all entries

• Nested selects

• Select using JOINS

• Use the selection criteria

• Use the aggregated functions

• Select with view

• Select with index support

• Select … Into table

• Select with selection list

• Key access to multiple lines

• Copying internal tables

• Modifying a set of lines

• Deleting a sequence of lines

• Linear search vs. binary

• Comparison of internal tables

• Modify selected components

• Appending two internal tables

• Deleting a set of lines

• Tools available in SAP to pin-point a performance problem

• Optimizing the load of the database

For all entries

The for all entries creates a where clause, where all the entries in the driver table are combined with OR. If the number of entries in the driver table

is larger than rsdb/max_blocking_factor, several similar SQL statements are executed to limit the length of the WHERE clause.

The plus

Large amount of data

Mixing processing and reading of data

Fast internal reprocessing of data

Fast

The Minus

Difficult to program/understand

Memory could be critical (use FREE or PACKAGE size)

Some steps that might make FOR ALL ENTRIES more efficient:

Removing duplicates from the the driver table

Sorting the driver table

If possible, convert the data in the driver table to ranges so a BETWEEN statement is used instead of and OR statement:

FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_tab

WHERE mykey >= i_tab-low and

mykey <= i_tab-high.

Nested selects

The plus:

Small amount of data

Mixing processing and reading of data

Easy to code - and understand

The minus:

Large amount of data

when mixed processing isn’t needed

Performance killer no. 1

Select using JOINS

The plus

Very large amount of data

Similar to Nested selects - when the accesses are planned by the programmer

In some cases the fastest

Not so memory critical

The minus

Very difficult to program/understand

Mixing processing and reading of data not possible

Use the selection criteria

SELECT * FROM SBOOK.

CHECK: SBOOK-CARRID = 'LH' AND

SBOOK-CONNID = '0400'.

ENDSELECT.

SELECT * FROM SBOOK

WHERE CARRID = 'LH' AND

CONNID = '0400'.

ENDSELECT.

Use the aggregated functions

C4A = '000'.

SELECT * FROM T100

WHERE SPRSL = 'D' AND

ARBGB = '00'.

CHECK: T100-MSGNR > C4A.

C4A = T100-MSGNR.

ENDSELECT.

SELECT MAX( MSGNR ) FROM T100 INTO C4A

WHERE SPRSL = 'D' AND

ARBGB = '00'.

Select with view

SELECT * FROM DD01L

WHERE DOMNAME LIKE 'CHAR%'

AND AS4LOCAL = 'A'.

SELECT SINGLE * FROM DD01T

WHERE DOMNAME = DD01L-DOMNAME

AND AS4LOCAL = 'A'

AND AS4VERS = DD01L-AS4VERS

AND DDLANGUAGE = SY-LANGU.

ENDSELECT.

SELECT * FROM DD01V

WHERE DOMNAME LIKE 'CHAR%'

AND DDLANGUAGE = SY-LANGU.

ENDSELECT.

Select with index support

SELECT * FROM T100

WHERE ARBGB = '00'

AND MSGNR = '999'.

ENDSELECT.

SELECT * FROM T002.

SELECT * FROM T100

WHERE SPRSL = T002-SPRAS

AND ARBGB = '00'

AND MSGNR = '999'.

ENDSELECT.

ENDSELECT.

Select … Into table

REFRESH X006.

SELECT * FROM T006 INTO X006.

APPEND X006.

ENDSELECT

SELECT * FROM T006 INTO TABLE X006.

Select with selection list

SELECT * FROM DD01L

WHERE DOMNAME LIKE 'CHAR%'

AND AS4LOCAL = 'A'.

ENDSELECT

SELECT DOMNAME FROM DD01L

INTO DD01L-DOMNAME

WHERE DOMNAME LIKE 'CHAR%'

AND AS4LOCAL = 'A'.

ENDSELECT

Key access to multiple lines

LOOP AT TAB.

CHECK TAB-K = KVAL.

" ...

ENDLOOP.

LOOP AT TAB WHERE K = KVAL.

" ...

ENDLOOP.

Copying internal tables

REFRESH TAB_DEST.

LOOP AT TAB_SRC INTO TAB_DEST.

APPEND TAB_DEST.

ENDLOOP.

TAB_DEST[] = TAB_SRC[].

Modifying a set of lines

LOOP AT TAB.

IF TAB-FLAG IS INITIAL.

TAB-FLAG = 'X'.

ENDIF.

MODIFY TAB.

ENDLOOP.

TAB-FLAG = 'X'.

MODIFY TAB TRANSPORTING FLAG

WHERE FLAG IS INITIAL.

Deleting a sequence of lines

DO 101 TIMES.

DELETE TAB_DEST INDEX 450.

ENDDO.

DELETE TAB_DEST FROM 450 TO 550.

Linear search vs. binary

READ TABLE TAB WITH KEY K = 'X'.

READ TABLE TAB WITH KEY K = 'X' BINARY SEARCH.

Comparison of internal tables

DESCRIBE TABLE: TAB1 LINES L1,

TAB2 LINES L2.

IF L1 <> L2.

TAB_DIFFERENT = 'X'.

ELSE.

TAB_DIFFERENT = SPACE.

LOOP AT TAB1.

READ TABLE TAB2 INDEX SY-TABIX.

IF TAB1 <> TAB2.

TAB_DIFFERENT = 'X'. EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.

IF TAB_DIFFERENT = SPACE.

" ...

ENDIF.

IF TAB1[] = TAB2[].

" ...

ENDIF.

Modify selected components

LOOP AT TAB.

TAB-DATE = SY-DATUM.

MODIFY TAB.

ENDLOOP.

WA-DATE = SY-DATUM.

LOOP AT TAB.

MODIFY TAB FROM WA TRANSPORTING DATE.

ENDLOOP.

Appending two internal tables

LOOP AT TAB_SRC.

APPEND TAB_SRC TO TAB_DEST.

ENDLOOP

APPEND LINES OF TAB_SRC TO TAB_DEST.

Deleting a set of lines

LOOP AT TAB_DEST WHERE K = KVAL.

DELETE TAB_DEST.

ENDLOOP

DELETE TAB_DEST WHERE K = KVAL.

The performance database

Optimizing the load of the database

Using table buffering

Using buffered tables improves the performance considerably. Note that in some cases a stament can not be used with a buffered table, so when

using these staments the buffer will be bypassed. These staments are:

Select DISTINCT

ORDER BY / GROUP BY / HAVING clause

Any WHERE clasuse that contains a subquery or IS NULL expression

JOIN s

A SELECT... FOR UPDATE

If you wnat to explicitly bypass the bufer, use the BYPASS BUFFER addition to the SELECR clause.

Use the ABAP SORT Clause Instead of ORDER BY

The ORDER BY clause is executed on the database server while the ABAP SORT statement is executed on the application server. The datbase server

will usually be the bottleneck, so sometimes it is better to move thje sort from the datsbase server to the application server.

If you are not sorting by the primary key ( E.g. using the ORDER BY PRIMARY key statement) but are sorting by another key, it could be better to use

the ABAP SORT stament to sort the data in an internal table. Note however that for very large result sets it might not be a feasible solution and you

would want to let the datbase server sort it.

Avoid ther SELECT DISTINCT Statement

As with the ORDER BY clause it could be better to avoid using SELECT DISTINCT, if some of the fields are not part of an index. Instead use ABAP SORT

+ DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES on an internal table, to delete duplciate rows.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.But though these are existing programs,can you please tell me whether i have to modify the programs accordingly???

Please reply.
