What does the value in column 'Number' express in ABAP trace with time split hierarchy?

[lumirion]

Hello community,

we have performed an ABAP trace on a long running batch process. We suspect that a certain loop is responsible for the poor performance. According to the red marked line in the screenshot is it possible that this loop is really called over a billion times? Or does the value in the column 'Number' say something else in this time split view?

for me it is the number of LOOP

it could be possible if you have huge quantity of data and if the LOOP is inside others LOOP

Hello,

your assumption is right, this is the amount of executions during the trace recording.

Kind regards

That's the number of records read in the loop (if the loop is called multiple times with non optimized filter critera, wrong where clause ot itab type, that can be more than actual number of records)

~1.5 billion of internal table iterations is logical compared to more than 10 millions of CALL METHOD !!! Now, the question remains: what is the source data/ABAP code/non-ABAP code/other reason of so many loops and calls?

@Sandra Rossi,

it is a about data transformation in a BW data transfer process.
