Hi
Logical database
A logical database is a special ABAP/4 program which combines the contents of certain database tables. Using logical databases facilitates the process of reading database tables.
HR Logical Database is PNP
Main Functions of the logical database PNP:
Standard Selection screen
Data Retrieval
Authorization check
To use logical database PNP in your program, specify in your program attributes.
Standard Selection Screen
Date selection
Date selection delimits the time period for which data is evaluated. GET PERNR retrieves all records of the relevant infotypes from the database. When you enter a date selection period, the PROVIDE loop retrieves the infotype records whose validity period overlaps with at least one day of this period.
Person selection
Person selection is the 'true' selection of choosing a group of employees for whom the report is to run.
Sorting Data
· The standard sort sequence lists personnel numbers in ascending order.
· SORT function allows you to sort the report data otherwise. All the sorting fields are from infotype 0001.
Report Class
· You can suppress input fields which are not used on the selection screen by assigning a report class to your program.
· If SAP standard delivered report classes do not satisfy your requirements, you can create your own report class through the IMG.
Data Retrieval from LDB
1. Create data structures for infotypes.
    INFOTYPES: 0001, "ORG ASSIGNMENT
                        0002, "PERSONAL DATA
                        0008. "BASIC PAY
2. Fill data structures with the infotype records.
    Start-of-selection.
         GET PERNR.
    End-0f-selection.
    Read Master Data
Infotype structures (after GET PERNR) are internal tables loaded with data.
The infotype records (selected within the period) are processed sequentially by the PROVIDE - ENDPROVIDE loop.
          GET PERNR.
             PROVIDE * FROM Pnnnn BETWEEN PN/BEGDA AND PN/ENDDA
                    If Pnnnn-XXXX = ' '. write:/ Pnnnn-XXXX. endif.
             ENDPROVIDE.
Period-Related Data
All infotype records are time stamped.
IT0006 (Address infotype)
01/01/1990   12/31/9999 present
          Which record to be read depends on the date selection period specified on the
          selection screen. PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
Current Data
IT0006 Address - 01/01/1990 12/31/9999   present
RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST retrieves the record which is valid in the data selection period.
For example, pn/begda = '19990931'    pn/endda = '99991231'
IT0006 subtype 1 is resident address
RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST P0006 1 PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
Process Infotypes
RMAC Modules - RMAC module as referred to Macro, is a special construct of ABAP/4 codes. Normally, the program code of these modules is stored in table 'TRMAC'. The table key combines the program code under a given name. It can also be defined in programs.The RMAC defined in the TRMAC can be used in all Reports. When an RMAC is changed, the report has to be regenerated manually to reflect the change.
Reading Infotypes - by using RMAC (macro) RP-READ-INFOTYPE
          REPORT ZHR00001.
          INFOTYPE: 0002.
          PARAMETERS: PERNR LIKE P0002-PERNR.
          RP-READ-INFOTYPE PERNR 0002 P0002 .
          PROVIDE * FROM P0002
              if ... then ...endif.
          ENDPROVIDE.
Changing Infotypes - by using RMAC (macro) RP-READ-INFOTYPE.
· Three steps are involved in changing infotypes:
1. Select the infotype records to be changed;
2. Make the required changes and store the records in an alternative table;
3. Save this table to the database;
The RP-UPDATE macro updates the database. The parameters of this macro are the OLD internal table containing the unchanged records and the NEW internal table containing the changed records. You cannot create or delete data. Only modification is possible.
INFOTYPES: Pnnnn NAME OLD,
Pnnnn NAME NEW.
GET PERNR.
    PROVIDE * FROM OLD
           WHERE .... = ... "Change old record
           *Save old record in alternate table
           NEW = OLD.
    ENDPROVIDE.
    RP-UPDATE OLD NEW. "Update changed record
Infotype with repeat structures
· How to identify repeat structures.
a. On infotype entry screen, data is entered in table form.
    IT0005, IT0008, IT0041, etc.
b. In the infotype structure, fields are grouped by the same name followed by sequence number.
    P0005-UARnn P0005-UANnn P0005-UBEnn
    P0005-UENnn P0005-UABnn
Repeat Structures
· Data is entered on the infotype screen in table format but stored on the database in a linear
structure.
· Each row of the table is stored in the same record on the database.
· When evaluating a repeat structure, you must define the starting point, the increment and the
work area which contains the complete field group definition.
Repeat Structures Evaluation (I)
· To evaluate the repeat structures
   a. Define work area.
       The work area is a field string. Its structure is identical to that of the field group.
   b. Use a DO LOOP to divide the repeat structure into segments and make it available for
       processing in the work area, one field group (block) at a time.
Repeat Structures Evaluation(II)
Define work area

Processing 'Time Data'.
· Dependence of time data on validity period
· Importing time data
· Processing time data using internal tables
Time Data and Validity Period
· Time data always applies to a specific validity period.
· The validity periods of different types of time data are not always the same as the date selection period specified in the selection screen.
Date selection period |----
|
Leave |----
|
· PROVIDE in this case is therefore not used for time infotypes.
Importing Time Data
· GET PERNR reads all time infotypes from the lowest to highest system data, not only those within the date selection period.
· To prevent memory overload, add MODE N to the infotype declaration. This prevents the logical database from importing all data into infotype tables at GET PERNR.
· Use macro RP-READ-ALL-TIME-ITY to fill infotype table.
INFOTYPES: 2001 MODE N.
GET PERNR.
    RP-READ-ALL-TIME-ITY PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
    LOOP AT P0021.
         If P0021-XYZ = ' '. A=B. Endif.
    ENDLOOP.
Processing Time Data
· Once data is imported into infotype tables, you can use an internal table to process the interested data.

Database Tables in HR
· Personnel Administration (PA) - master and time data infotype tables (transparent tables).
   PAnnnn: e.g. PA0001 for infotype 0001
· Personnel Development (PD) - Org Unit, Job, Position, etc. (transparent tables).
   HRPnnnn: e.g. HRP1000 for infotype 1000
· Time/Travel expense/Payroll/Applicant Tracking data/HR work areas/Documents (cluster
   PCLn: e.g. PCL2 for time/payroll results.
Cluster Table
· Cluster tables combine the data from several tables with identical (or almost identical) keys
into one physical record on the database.
. Data is written to a database in compressed form.
· Retrieval of data is very fast if the primary key is known.
· Cluster tables are defined in the data dictionary as transparent tables.
· External programs can NOT interpret the data in a cluster table.
· Special language elements EXPORT TO DATABASE, IMPORT TO DATABASE and DELETE
FROM DATABASE are used to process data in the cluster tables.
PCL1 - Database for HR work area;
PCL2 - Accounting Results (time, travel expense and payroll);
PCL3 - Applicant tracking data;
PCL4 - Documents, Payroll year-end Tax data
Database Tables PCLn
· PCLn database tables are divided into subareas known as data clusters.
· Data Clusters are identified by a two-character code. e.g RU for US payroll result, B2 for
time evaluation result...
· Each HR subarea has its own cluster.
· Each subarea has its own key.
Database Table PCL1
· The database table PCL1 contains the following data areas:
B1 time events/PDC
G1 group incentive wages
L1 individual incentive wages
PC personal calendar
TE travel expenses/payroll results
TS travel expenses/master data
TX infotype texts
ZI PDC interface -> cost account
Database Table PCL2
· The database table PCL2 contains the following data areas:
B2 time accounting results
CD cluster directory of the CD manager
PS generated schemas
PT texts for generated schemas
RX payroll accounting results/international
Rn payroll accounting results/country-specific ( n = HR country indicator )
ZL personal work schedule
Database Table PCL3
· The database table PCL3 contains the following data areas:
AP action log / time schedule
TY texts for applicant data infotypes
Data Management of PCLn
· The ABAP commands IMPORT and EXPORT are used for management of read/write to
database tables PCLn.
· A unique key has to be used when reading data from or writing data to the PCLn.
Field Name KEY Length Text
MANDT X 3 Client
RELID X 2 Relation ID (RU,B2..)
SRTFD X 40 Work Area Key
SRTF2 X 4 Sort key for dup. key
Cluster Definition
· The data definition of a work area for PCLn is specified in separate programs which comply
   with fixed naming conventions.
· They are defined as INCLUDE programs (RPCnxxy0). The following naming convention applies:
   n = 1 or 2 (PCL1 or PCL2)
   xx = Relation ID (e.g. RX)
   y = 0 for international clusters or country indicator (T500L) for different country cluster
Exporting Data (I)
· The EXPORT command causes one or more 'xy' KEY data objects to be written to cluster xy.
· The cluster definition is integrated with the INCLUDE statement.
REPORT ZHREXPRT.
TABLES: PCLn.
INCLUDE: RPCnxxy0. "Cluster definition

   ENDIF.
Exporting Data (II)
. Export data using macro RP-EXP-Cn-xy.
· When data records are exported using macro, they are not written to the database but to a
main memory buffer.
· To save data, use the PREPARE_UPDATE routine with the USING parameter 'V'.

Cluster Authorization
· Simple EXPORT/IMPORT statement does not check for cluster authorization.
· Use EXPORT/IMPORT via buffer, the buffer management routines check for cluster
authorization.
Payroll Results (I)
· Payroll results are stored in cluster Rn of PCL2 as field string and internal tables.
n - country identifier.
· Standard reports read the results from cluster Rn. Report RPCLSTRn lists all payroll results;
report RPCEDTn0 lists the results on a payroll form.
Payroll Results (II)
· The cluster definition of payroll results is stored in two INLCUDE reports:
include: rpc2rx09. "Definition Cluster Ru (I)
include: rpc2ruu0. "Definition Cluster Ru (II)
The first INCLUDE defines the country-independent part; The second INCLUDE defines the country-specific part (US).
· The cluster key is stored in the field string RX-KEY.
Payroll Results (III)
· All the field string and internal tables stored in PCL2 are defined in the ABAP/4 dictionary. This
allows you to use the same structures in different definitions and nonetheless maintain data
consistency.
· The structures for cluster definition comply with the name convention PCnnn. Unfortunately,
   'nnn' can be any set of alphanumeric characters.
*Key definition
DATA: BEGIN OF RX-KEY.

Payroll Cluster Directory
· To read payroll results, you need two keys: pernr and seqno
. You can get SEQNO by importing the cluster directory (CD) first.

· After importing the payroll directory, which record to read is up to the programmer.
· Each payroll result has a status.
'P' - previous result
'A' - current (actual) result
'O' - old result
· Function module CD_EVALUATION_PERIODS will restore the payroll result status for a period
   when that payroll is initially run. It also will select all the relevant periods to be evaluated.

Authorization Check
   Authorization for Persons
· In the authorization check for persons, the system determines whether the user has the
   authorizations required for the organizational features of the employees selected with
   GET PERNR.
· Employees for which the user has no authorization are skipped and appear in a list at the end
   of the report.
· Authorization object: 'HR: Master data'
Authorization for Data
· In the authorization check for data, the system determines whether the user is authorized to
read the infotypes specified in the report.
· If the authorization for a particular infotype is missing, the evaluation is terminated and an error
message is displayed.
Deactivating the Authorization Check
· In certain reports, it may be useful to deactivate the authorization check in order to improve
performance. (e.g. when running payroll)
· You can store this information in the object 'HR: Reporting'.
these are the main areas they ask q?

Issue in Positive Time Mgmt

Dear SAP - HR Experts .
In My Client side , they want to shift for Positive Time Mgmt (want to capture actual times).
They Usually run payroll on 25th day of every month .
if they implement Positive Time in Company then they will have Time Evaluation up to 25th of the month .
Suppose if a employee took two days absences from durring the period of 26th to 31st Jan . but we have Time Evaluation up to 25th day only and we run payroll for Jan upto 1st to 31st .
in that case Employee will recieve complete salary , while in actaul scenrio he was absent for 2 days .
so client have some quries about this situation ...
Q 1 : How his salary will deduct and recover the absence of 2 days ?
Q 2 : How we have to run Time Evaluation from 26th to 31th day of Jan .
Q 3 : what changes are required in PA03 and PU03 ?
Regards : rajneesh
Edited by: Rajneesh Kumar on Feb 13, 2009 8:53 AM

Hi Rajneesh,
Time evaluation period can vary from the payroll periods. You can run the payroll from first of the month till last day and Time evaluation from 26th of previous month till 25th of current month. In this situation employee will be paid for the whole month by the payroll and it will not take into account the absences/sick etc that took place after 25th of the month till the month end.
Later when you do Time evaluation during the following month system will capture those 2 days (as you mentioned) sick/absence took place after 25th of current month and it will deduct the amounts from the Payroll of the following month. But it will not deduct from the current month as the Time evaluation was only done till 25th of the month.
It doenst need any changes in PA03 / PU03
Hope this clarifies your query.
Thanks,
Tara

What are the major challenges for the end-user in using Positive Time Management

Hi Seniors,
Can anybody please provide me some data on the same.
Thanks.

Hi,
Positive time management is slightly difficult to implement compared to negative time management.
In negative time management, you use planned working times + deviations in time evaluation.
In positive time management, you record actual times through time recording system. You have to bring these times to SAP through an interface and then evaluate the actual times against the planned times and accordingly pay them out. You would need to pay attention regarding the integration between SAP R/3 and time recording system.
Building rules for positive time management is slightly more challenging compared to negative time management.
Kindly go through the below documents on positive time management which will give you more idea about the same.
Integration of Time Recording Terminals with SAP R/3
Determination of First Clock In & Last Clock Out in Positive Time Evaluation
Late Coming, Early Going and Unauthorized absence
Prorated Grant of Absence Quota for Contract Period in Time Evaluation
Splitting of Overtime Hours after X Hours in Time Evaluation
Rounding off Overtime Hours Generated via T510S table in Time Evaluation
Public Holiday Calendar and Work Schedule Rules
I hope these are helpful to you.
Thanks and regards,
Vivek Barnwal

ABAP/4 run time error with error code SNAP_NO_NEW_ENTRY

Dear All,
I've installed SAP R/3 IDES on Oracle on Windows 2003 server.After clicking Log on button , I should be asked to enter client,user and password.But, my system does not display such details.Instead I get ABAP/4 run time error with error code SNAP_NO_NEW_ENTRY that too after a long time.
Can you please address what is the reason for this problem and how to over ride it?
Regards,
S.Suresh

Hi,
the most probable reason is an archiver stuck. Backup the archived redo log files and delete them afterwards.
The database will archive some more logs after this. Handle them in the same manor. For complete explanation search for brtools.

Negative time management to positive time management

Hi Experts
our client is following negative time management now. They would
like to implement positive time management from now onwards.
please suggest how i'll do this for my client.
Thanks

Hi,
Firstly, your client has to decide how the entry exit timings of the employees are going to be captured, and then load them into SAP. The timevents will be updated in IT2011.
One way is to have a third party capture all the events from recording terminals located on the site, have a RFC to get these events to SAP. The time events can then be uploaded into the infotype table TEVEN (IT2011). These programs shud also be scheduled in the backgrnd to run either daily or after sum intervals of time.
In config,
You will have to change the groupings of PS & EE for time recording,
Change the time management status for these employees,
change the feature TMSTA to default the same status for new employees to be hired.
Maintain IT0050 for all employees. (necessary for +ve time)
Change the grouping for Attendance / Absence types
Have to check whether system reactions for time pair formations in system are as per clients requirements
Modify the time mangement schema (with clock times) according to the requirement.
Schedule a background job so that time evaluation is run for all employees once a day. (usually scheduled during the night)
These are some of the changes that I can think about right now hope this is helpful.
Regards,
Shreyasi.

Document on Positive Time Management & Integration with payroll

Hi,
Can any one suggest me any link from where I will get the IMG steps of Positive time management implemetation, time evaluation, time wagetype detail as well as the steps of integration with payroll..
Thanks in advance.
Ajay

Hi Chandrashekar,
Can you please advise how actually the transfer of clock times from time recording terminals to SAP R/3 will work?
I read from help.sap.com that there is a SAP certified CC1 interface (BAPI based) which can be used for this purpose. However, in such a case, the time recording terminals should be SAP CC1 certified.
If the time recording terminals are not SAP CC1 certified, then what is the method to be used? Will we write a custom BDC program in this scenario and what all should be considered in functional specification of such a BDC program.
Please advise.
Thanks and warm regards,
Vianshu

Positive time management through interface or without interface

Hi Gurus,
I am working on positive time management and i have few queries:
1. As a consultant I have to suggest my client whether they should for interface between sap and eternal recording system or not... What you guys suggest which one is better.
2. I came to know that there is a standard interface(HR PDC) in sap to interact with ecternal recording system. I want to know how this Sap interact with external recording system i.e. online or offline using this interface.
Please reply to my queries soon..
Points will be awarded for the inputs.
Hope to hear soon from u guys...

1. As a consultant I have to suggest my client whether they should go for interface between sap and eternal recording system or not... What you guys suggest which one is better.
If your client wish to go for postive time management it is must for you create interface either you willing to say or not.
Without that interface you can't do time positive time management
2. I came to know that there is a standard interface(HR PDC) in sap to interact with ecternal recording system. I want to know how this Sap interact with external recording system i.e. online or offline using this interface.
I belive this needs some third party tool to intract with PDC. then you have use time evaluation status TMSTA 1 according to PDC
I belive it bit differnt from what you are looking for.
please tell me what kind of time terminal your client is using at the moment?
Best Regards

Key difference between Negative & Positive Time Managment

Dear Consultants,
Please provide the information regarding the key differences between Negative Time Management & Positive Time Management.
Under what circumstances, we shouldn't recommend for Positive Time Management?
What are the major challenges for the client/end-user in using Positive Time Management?
What would be the duration required to implement Negative TM?
What would be the duration required to implement Positive TM?
What are the limitations of Negative TM?
Can a client opt for both Positive & Negative TM?
Regards,

See the re
Please provide the information regarding the key differences between Negative Time Management & Positive Time Management.
Time Management can be bifurcated types:
1. Positive Time (+ve Time) ? Positive time is plays the total role of workflow. All the processes related to time are automatically gets executed in the background. E.g., in our case it is done only partially to validate the attendance as per punches and other documents with shift timing and generate absence automatically in case of any discrepancy.
2. Negative Time (-ve Time) ? Where the all time related activities like validation of the attendance, posting of absence for wage deduction etc are done manually. It has less level of integration among the different components of time management.
Negative Time Recording:
1. Records time deviations to Planned Working Time
2. Valid deviations include: Absences, Special Absences, On Call Duty, Overtime, Substitutions, Time off in lieu
3. Deviations are manually entered according to type & duration.
Positive Time Recording:
1. Records the attendance time of the employee
2. Records the deviation times of the employee
3. Valid attendances include: Training, Business Trips, Seminars, Overtime.
4. Attendances & deviations can be entered either:
- Front end system
- Manually.
Positive Time Management we have two types of recordings:
1. With Clock times - Complete time recording is captured
2. With out Clock times - Only Number of hourse worked is captured
Negetive time Management:
1. No clock times and assumed employee is working unless and until his or her absences are entered.
How is the process of getting data from time recording system to SAP how can we connect time recording system to SAP? How do we interface for positive time management?
To simplify:
We can consider two independent systems:
1. SAP System which contains Planned Working time
2. Time recorder system which contains the actual timings
Now as Time recorder system will contain all Clock in & Clock outs, the data needs to be uploaded to SAP system either as Scheduled job at back end or online in critical cases.
Based on our Time pair and other IMG settings in SAP System and comparison of IT2011 with IT2000, it generates values of OT,Absences etc etc.
This job can be effectively done in proper coordination with Basis, ABAPers and Time Consultants.
Under what circumstances, we shouldn't recommend for Positive Time Management?
>>>If the company has only salaried employees /exempt empls, where you dont record their OT, DT, etc..
>>>If Company has already another system which records time and can provide just total hours to be paid off in Regular / OT/ DT and also could update quotas
What are the major challenges for the client/end-user in using Positive Time Management?
>>>Integration between 3rd party system and SAP - Interface, logics
>>> Accruals and Quota
What would be the duration required to implement Negative TM?
>>> Few months *
What would be the duration required to implement Positive TM?
>>> Depends on volume diversity you have in time recording. May be between few months to a year.
What are the limitations of Negative TM?
>>> Detailed reporting may not be available in SAP and Posting Timesheets to CO/Billing would out of scope
>>> Also refer to SAP documents and presentation by clients in market place for more details
Can a client opt for both Positive & Negative TM?
>>> Yes you can

raju

Hi Nagaraju,
I am adding more information..
Whether or not an employee is on positive or negative time is determined by the time management status on IT0007. Status 1 or 2 = positive time; status 9 = negative time.
In a standard system, positive time recording means the employee is required to record time (absence or attendance) for any day on which he is scheduled to work according to his generated work schedule. Negative time recording means an employee does not need to record time unless he has an exception to his normal working time; so absences are typically recorded as well as overtime or time work on days for which the employee is not scheduled to work.
Schema TM00 is used to process positive time employees for whom clock times are entered; that is, every record has a start and end time.
Schema TM04 processes both positive and negative time employees. The key distinction between TM00 and TM04 is TM04 does not require start and end times on every entry. Records with start and end times cna be processed in TM04. However, the records do not require these entries.
In TM04 you will see code using IF, ELSE, ENDIF statements during the import process to separate the import of time data for positive and negative time employees.
Positive time employees use the following data import statements in the schema:
P2011 Import IT2011 records to TIP; regardless of whether the EE has IT2011, load the work schedule to TZP. If no IT2011 record exists, TIP is empty.
P2001 Load absences
P2002 Load attendances
Negative time employees use the following data import statements:
P2000 This is the critical difference between positive and negative employees. P2000 loads the daily work schedule to the TIP table as if the employee workede; that is, if the employee is scheduled to work from 8:00 to 17:00, this record will now appear on TIP. The work schedule details are also added to TZP.
P2001 Load absences -- to pick up exceptions to planned working time
P2002 Load attendances -- again to pick up exceptions, special costing information, overtime, alternate payments, premiums or any other variation from normal schedule work.
So if you want to determine if you are using positive or negative time, check the time management status on the employees.

ABAP Proxy Real time

Hi gurus,
I do know what abap proxies are(both client and server) i do know how to create both client and server proxies.
[all thanks to SDN for that...but i quiet haven't been able to relate it to real world scenario]
Just imagine a scenario for example PO goods recpt---> File...
how to i go about this, what are the things i need to get done apart from generation of the proxy from the o/b interface?
I mean
1. how/when does it get triggered?
2. If I've analyzed how/when to trigger it how can i trigger it? do i need to write seperate reports?
{I don't have a proper abap bckground, please suggest mechanisms like rfc's or other options to reports}
3. When to opt for report/ when for rfc?
Similarly for an Inbound async proxy interface: I'm unable to think of a real world scenario: could some1 help me out?
1. There is no need to schedule reports here?
> I've heard of some standard delivered proxies for integration. How can i access these?
> When is the best time i need to go in for proxies? wouldn't it take much time for coding it?
i may sound unreasonable in asking all my questions with respect to proxies in just one thread.
I would appreciate anybody's inputs on this
thanks

Hi,
>>>could you give me a use-case that you've encountered where there were no standard idocs?
in most cases like this I developed a custom IDOC to handle it:)
>>>If you did use a proxy- then how was it triggered? a report?
the only standard component of SAP which I used with proxies
was SAP AII (autoid) and all the client proxies where standard from special function modules inside it
server proxies were called from XI in in a normal way
(for business partner, product replications)
if you want to use proxies in ECC the easiest standard object (flow) that
can handle them is sending the business partner I believe

Abap WebDynpro Response time monitoring.

Hi,
We are trying to monitor response time for Abap WebDynpro.
From SMICM u2192 goto u2192 Http log u2192 server display entries. We can see the response time as 43 milliseconds
07/May/2010:23:03:22 -0500] - "POST XXXXXXXX HTTP/1.1" 404 2118 [43] h[-]
By defining the parameter icm/HTTP_logging_0 we can adjust the %T value, but I want to use ALM (alert management) to send an alert if the response time is more than X seconds seconds.
I thought of using log file monitoring but help.sap.com says we can define condition like X > 3 sec send an alert instead it will search for exact error message.
I want to avoid writing script using awk(unix) as I do not have OS access.
Please let me know if anyone has automated Abap webdynpro monitoring or any other thoughts is appreciated.
Thanks,
Venkat.

ABAP program running time-BW update Rules

Hi All,
I have an ABAP program that is in one of the update rules from source ODS to destination ODS. Source ODS has 20million records. When we are loading the records to destination ODS , Is there any way I can find howmuch time will take to process 1 record and also when it is running how do I know howmany records it has processed or howmany yet to process ? I have tried with SM50 but not able to find much useful information?
Please help me and if you have any documents please send it to [email protected]
Regards
Vennela

Hi Vennela,
just choose one request and click on monitor -> details. Click on processing -> Data Package 1 -> Update Rules. If you put the cursor on the first node, you'll see a date and time field on the screen (below). If you click on the last node you'll see how long it took to process the records.
Another possibility would be to run it in simulation mode and check the response time. To do so, you'll have to click on 'Response Time' in the SAP GUI field below at the right side of your screen (normally it shows the system name and mandant).
Hope that helps!
Regards
Nicola

Regarding ABAP dump during time ticket confirmation.

Hi PP Gurus,
I'm getting an ABAP dump while doing time ticket confirmation for a process order using COR6N. The dump is coming only for one plant and all the plants are working fine.
The reason for dump is
The current application program detected a situation which really should not occur. Therefore, a termination with a short dump was triggered on purpose by the key word MESSAGE (type X).
I tried to analyze the dump and got OSS# 385830. But this note only talking about the conversion of message from A to X type. What should be the reason (configuration/product error) behind that?
If anybody came across the same, please comment on this
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Hi,
Since this dump is happening only for a particular plant, compare the config set of this plant with the other plant which is working fine, you should be able to resolve it.
Alternatively, ask your abaper to analyze the dump in ST22 & he / she should be able to let you know the exact reason why the dump is occurring.
Regards,
Vivek
