Reason: The application servers load and cache metadata for faster access. This can be reset when new objects (customizations) are deployed or when servers are restarted after maintenance. When this happens and a user happens to access that particular object, then this flag is set true and there may be a one time slowness associated with this activity. This should be not very common and if this is observed frequently then please check with your Admin whether SDK or other objects are being deployed. Solution: Retry the activity (be careful in case you are changing data). If the condition persists then please open a support incident. For help with opening a ticket please follow this blog Example: Below is an example where the interaction had a cold server start. However, this should normally be a "one-time-behavior". This may be the primary cause of slowness and should be resolved first before troubleshooting other performance indicators. Please note this attribute will not be present in the statistics when the attribute is false or if the "server start" is not cold.
|
Reason: Browser cold starts are a frequent cause of performance issues. In most cases, it could be due to a simple browser settings or deletion of cache content by a user. Please refer to the solution section for more details. Solution: Please follow the blog on how to identify and troubleshoot a cold browser. How to Troubleshoot Cold Browser Scenarios Example: In the example below from the quick view performance statistics, we can see that the interaction was cold. In this case it could be that the application is being accessed for the first time or a KUT change was made during business hours. Please repeat the interaction (if possible to do so without affecting or changing data) and see if the problem goes away. If it does not go away, please refer to the above blog for more troubleshooting information. Cold browser will always result in more number of roundtrips than a warm browser.

Concept: End to End time (E2E is the total time needed to display all the information for the landing facet. For example, when a product is clicked it opens the thing inspector and in most cases the landing facet is the overview facet (unless it was customized from the defaults). The end to end time works in conjunction with TTI or time to interact. In most cases measurements should be taken against TTI. Video explaining TTI and End to End time in performance statistics Please use in-tenant reports to see specific average or median end to end times for specific interactions. |
Reason: The number of roundtrips plays an important role in performance. Each roundtrip requests information from the server and the higher the number of trips the more E2E time it takes. This is due to the network overhead. Also the greater the distance from the data center (especially crossing continental boundaries), more time is spent in each roundtrip. C4C standard screens mostly take one roundtrip, however in some screens like Product thing inspector takes up to four roundtrips. Reasons for high number of roundtrips (than the standard solution) can be due to the following reasons:
Solution: For troubleshooting due to cold browser please see this blog https://blogs.sap.com/2017/04/20/recommended-browser-settings-for-sap-hybris-cloud-for-customer/ For customizations please see section on "Operation Clubbing" in the following blog https://blogs.sap.com/2015/08/27/sap-cloud-application-studio-performance-best-practices/ Example: Below is an example of high number of roundtrips due to a cold browser. In such a case please follow the corresponding blog for more details.
The second example below is an example of high number of roundtrips due to customizations. Here the SDK customization is taking an additional two roundtrips. Please refer to PDI/SDK best practices for optimizing the same. https://blogs.sap.com/2015/08/27/sap-cloud-application-studio-performance-best-practices/
|
Reason: Network time is directly proportional to the distance of a user from the data center. As a ballpark, please follow the guideline below. Divide end to end time by total number of roundtrips. If this is greater than half a second then you may be experiencing network issues.
High network time can be the result of the following:
Solution: For testing for slow internet speeds please use this link to test latency and bandwidth for your tenant connection speed (Note: please replace 123456 with your tenant number) Detailed instructions for the above For expert troubleshooting please follow this blog: Expert Network Troubleshooting Also please note network issues could be sporadic. Please check with other colleagues and see if they experiencing the same. Example: In the performance statistics example below, the network time is approx. 5.8seconds and number of roundtrips is 3. The result is more than 1 second indicating network issues.
|
Reason: The total server time includes several components as detailed below. Please check if these attributes are contributing to the overall higher server times. If none of these components show increased values (above 1sec) and the server time is consistently high then, please open a support incident. As a thumb rule if any of the below customizations takes more than one second then it should be investigated by the customer. Please note the reported server time includes customization time. Therefore please subtract total customization time (1-4 below) from the reported server time to get the pure server times without customizations.
Example: In the statistics below the workflow time is contributing to the overall high server time. In this case we should look into the workflow settings and configuration.

Time to interact or TTI is the time that has been taken to render the screen with key information until also users are able to interact with the screen. However, further UI components may still be loading asynchronously in the background. Video explaining TTI and End to End time in performance statistics |
The number of roundtrips that is needed for rendering the screen with key information and that a user can start interacting with.

Work center here is the top most navigation: In the screen shot below it represents Customers. Sometimes it may be helpful for troubleshooting to understand how the navigation takes place. Example: We could open an Account from the Accounts list (OWL) or from an Opportunity. ![]() |
In the example below, "ACCOUNTS" represents the work center view. ![]() |
The UI Component is the technical name of the screen. This attribute along with the UI Interaction Step/Type constitutes the lowest degree of measurable performance attribute. In the example below, the Account Thing Inspector is displayed and the corresponding attribute in performance statistics is called COD_Account_TI. When the below screen is opened then the performance attribute for the same is given as: ui-comp-id: /BYD_COD/SalesOnDemand/Account/UI/COD_Account_TI.TI.uicomponent ![]() |
The UI Step is the action corresponding to the click. It provides technical values for the action taken. In most cases, we will be using only UI Step Type for troubleshooting. However, SAP Support may request for this attribute for troubleshooting. Example: Saving an Account ui-comp-id: /BYD_COD/SalesOnDemand/Account/UI/COD_Account_TI.TI.uicomponent ui-step: jEe_uS0qYKcnogIEZ1IwrW ui-step-type: Save ![]() |
The UI Step Type is the action corresponding to the click. This along with the screen name provides the lowest measurable attribute. In most cases we will be using only UI Step Type for troubleshooting. Upon saving an Account the performance statistics will reflect the below. ui-comp-id: /BYD_COD/SalesOnDemand/Account/UI/COD_Account_TI.TI.uicomponent ui-step: jEe_uS0qYKcnogIEZ1IwrW ui-step-type: Save ![]() |
Product version reports the release version of SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer. |
This attribute states the operating system version. Please report this information in case you are opening an incident with SAP Support. |
This attribute states the operating system version. Please report this information in case you are opening an incident with SAP Support. |
Recommendation: The browser name is also the the name of the vendor. For example Google Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you are experiencing a performance issue then its advisable to check using another vendor's browser to see if the problem goes away. Plugins etc can also influence performance. Please try to temporarily disable plugins while troubleshooting performance issues. |
Recommendation: Keeping your browser updated can help with performance and security. Please check you version with what is generally available. You can check your version and whats the latest available by going to the website below. Please Note this is an external Site: https://www.whatismybrowser.com |
