Performance check in RFC
Hi All,
I have created a remote enabled function module.
Based on the import parameter value , values are populated in the internal table of the export parameter ( which has no of recortds).
The RFC works as expected.
But when i do the syntax check, it shows the message
"Paratmeter it_wbs ( table type ztwbs of structure zswbs ) can reduce performance in RFC " as a warning.
I should not get this warning message. What i have to do stop getting this warnig message from the RFC .
If anyone encountered the problem. ...... please put your valuable suggestions and hints to solve this.
Thanks

Hello
You will always get this warning when using table types as RFC parameters. If you replace an IMPORTING parameter using a table type (e.g. BAPIRETTAB) with the corresponding TABLES parameter (e.g. BAPIRET2) then the warning will disappear.
However, the general rule is to avoid TABLES parameters in function modules and replace them by IMPORTING / EXPORTING parameters. Therefore I would ignore the warning at the moment and only consider it again if you really have a performance bottleneck here.
The long text for the warning (FL 397) is shown below:
NA FL397
Short Text
Parameter &1 (type &2) can reduce performance in RFC
Diagnosis
The parameter contains a data type that, in the external system, can
lead to a high memory consumption and poorer performance. Affected by
this are parameters in IMPORT, EXPORT, and CHANGING parameters that use
"deep, nested" (that is, type 2) data types.
Remember also that such data types can cause a large load on the network
since they can contain high data volumes and are not compressed in the
selected definition during transfer.
You can avoid possible disadvantages if you use the TABLES parameter
instead. In this case, conversions at the interface may be possible.
These are described below. A flat structure refers to a structure that
contains only fields of the data types ACCP, CHAR, CLNT, CUKY, CURR,
DATS, DEC, FLTP, INT1, INT2, INT4,LANG, NUMC, PREC, QUAN, RAW, TIMS, or
UNIT.
SYMPTOM:
1. A flat structure that contains at least one field of a STRING type.
2. A table whose lines always consist of the same, flat strucutre.
3. A table whose lines always consist of the same flat structure, but
contain at least one field of a STRING type.
4. A table that contains tables whose lines consist of a flat structure
in each case.
Procedure
1. Check whether a fixed size can be defined for the field.
2. You can switch the IMPORT, EXPORT, or CHANGING parameter immediately
to the TABLES parameter.
3. You can only switch the IMPORT, EXPORT, or CHANGING parameter to the
TABLES parameter after the STRING type fields have been converted to
fields of a fixed size.
4. You can switch the IMPORT, EXPORT, or CHANGING parameter to several
TABLES parameters.
Possibly, "foreign keys" must be supplemented for the connection between
the tables.
Example: Position numbers can be explicitly contained in the data; these
can then function as "foreign keys".
5. Arbitrary combinations from the named tyes that can then be be split
into fields of fixed size (STRING types), similar to the description
above, and distributed to several TABLES parameters.

Performance Check in Client transport
What is This performance check in Client Transport?
Hi
Remote client copy: Before the client copy process is started, a consistency check is automatically made. If inconsistencies are detected, the copy process is not started and an error message is logged. You can also perform the consistency check yourself with the RFC System Comparison pushbutton.
Client transport: If an RFC connection can be established between the systems, you can use the report RSCLICHK to compare the structures. If they differ, transport errors and inconsistencies may occur. You can run the program directly in the transaction SCC8 with the RFC System Check pushbutton.
Pls see this link.

Performance Check - ABAP and Database color bars
Hello everyone,
When i go for the performance check of my object, i see Database in red bar and ABAP in green bar.
The smaller the difference between these two bars, the better.
But what does the color mean ? ( Somethimes the smaller bar is Red )
ThanksHere is the explanation (depends % of total) in [sap library - SE30|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c6/617d2ae68c11d2b2ab080009b43351/frameset.htm]

NO, it depends completely of what does your program! -
Optimize the performance of the RFC call between ECC and CRM
Hi,
We are planning to extract sales orders, sales activites and service orders to dispaly it on the PDF factsheet of the account.
As of now, the PDF factsheet takes a long time to retrieve the data from ECC to CRM. Can you please suggest us on ways to optimize the performance of the RFC call between ECC and CRM.
Thanks in advance,
Vamsi.Hello,
[SAP Note 636906 |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/636906]is quite useful here.
Many times, the performance is poor due to function module CRM_CCKPT_EXPORTSUMMARY. This function module gets the customer number, the sales organization and the fact sheet view. If in CRM customizing, you use complete view (001), then all the views in ERP including all the info blocks will be retrieved, which will cause performance issue.
To solve the issue, please use a limited view to retrieve the data from ERP - especially a view, which does not contain info block 013.
Hope it helps

Performing check and potential update for status control table
Cheers Experts,
I searched in the forum, but I didn't find an answer.
I'm working on a 3.0B BW system.
After updating from PSA to an ODS, in the log I see the following line:
"Performing check and potential update for status control table" and double clicking on it, it says:
If data is loaded into an InfoCube, or existing data is edited (aggregated/compressed/deleted/got from a DataMart), then there is a change in the potential reportability of the data , or the possibility of deleting data by request, or of aggregating or compressing.
This status of each one of these Cubes is stored in a status table, that is updated when there is any change to the status of a request in the Cube.
The system now analyzes the requests in the Cube and compares the calculated status with the status table.
If deviations from the status table arise then you are given the option of adjusting the status table.
I have 2 questions:
1) What is BW doing, mainly because I'm working on an ODS and not an Infocube?
2) What can I do to reduce its execution time, since it lasts several minutes?
Thanks and greetings.
RobertoRoberto, did you ever find an answer to your question? We also are experiencing long runtimes during this particular process running 3.x deltas from ODS to ODS and cubes.

Performance checking inside the source code
performance checking inside the source code who to check it.
thanks and regards
chandra sekharI guess you are asking how to check it, then here is the answer
SQL Trace transaction ST05
The trace list has many lines that are not related to the SELECT statement in the ABAP program. This is because the execution of any ABAP program requires additional administrative SQL calls. To restrict the list output, use the filter introducing the trace list.
The trace list contains different SQL statements simultaneously related to the one SELECT statement in the ABAP program. This is because the R/3 Database Interface - a sophisticated component of the R/3 Application Server - maps every Open SQL statement to one or a series of physical database calls and brings it to execution. This mapping, crucial to R/3s performance, depends on the particular call and database system. For example, the SELECT-ENDSELECT loop on the SPFLI table in our test program is mapped to a sequence PREPARE-OPEN-FETCH of physical calls in an Oracle environment.
The WHERE clause in the trace list's SQL statement is different from the WHERE clause in the ABAP statement. This is because in an R/3 system, a client is a self-contained unit with separate master records and its own set of table data (in commercial, organizational, and technical terms). With ABAP, every Open SQL statement automatically executes within the correct client environment. For this reason, a condition with the actual client code is added to every WHERE clause if a client field is a component of the searched table.
To see a statement's execution plan, just position the cursor on the PREPARE statement and choose Explain SQL. A detailed explanation of the execution plan depends on the database system in use -
Performance check for status control table
Hi,
When ever we activate any ODS or delete the request ,a message 'Performance Check for Status control Table ' appears.
What does it mean?Please explain what is status control table and how it performs?
Thanks & Regards,
Dinakar.Hi,
This message is not a issue in itself. It is just a SAP message which means that the system is checking/updating the system tables to carry out the operation whether it can be done or not.
If your loads are failing at this step or after this message there can be many reasons, check some of the possible reasons below
Performing check and potential update for status control table
Update from PSA error in Process Chain
problem in deleting request
Reporting not available ,even if Data is sucessfully loaded into DT

Set Safari To Always Perform Check If Default Browser When Starting
I want to set Safari to always perform check if it is the default browser every time it starts.
The first time I opened Safari, I asked it not to check to see if it is the default browser. Now, I do not find any way to change that setting back to ask it to perform this check every time Safari starts.
Message was edited by: Yank7HI,
You can change that setting by going to Safari/Preferences and select the General tab.
Click the pop up menu where you see: Default web browser
*"perform this check every time Safari starts"*
If you click the Safari icon in your Dock, it's going to open Safari regardless, same with Firefox or any other browser you might use. Once it's launched, there's no option available.

Performance check keeps repeating
My A665-S6056 was just factory restored, but upon completion it started its performance check, and has been completing it roughly every 10-15 minutes, for the last 15 hours. Is there anyway to stop this without a hard shutdown?
Because you've just done a recovery, you may just want to hard shutdown and perform another recovery.

Performance problem in RFC to JDBC interface
Hello everybody!
i'm working whit SAP PI 7.1
We defined some interfaces RFC - PI - JDBC (SQL server) but we have some performance problem.
If we have many row to write on the table then interface finish in timeout :
Synchronous timeout exceeded.
Returning to application. Exception: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessageExpiredException: Message 1d1f00b0-fecf-11de-8738-0015600446f0(OUTBOUND) expired.
I read the PI tuning document and i tried to apply configuration whit Advanced Adapter Engine but whitout result.
Now we want change the timeout in visual admin and maybe we solve the error but i'm asking myself....:
It's normal that for write 1500 row in a table we need more than 4 minuts????
It's possible accelerate this process??? After go live we will write messages whit more than 50.000 row.
somebody may help me?
PS: please no link to tuning guide or to notes (to increase the timeout parameter).This could be because your Database system (JDBC server) is taking more time to insert. The problem is not on PI side but on the receiving system side. Try inserting the same number od rows on the database server itself and check for the time taken for execution. Adding indexes on your database table solves the issue lot of times.
Here PI is not the culprit but definitely the receiver system.

Hi All,
I want to check the performance of the scenario (RFC to Soap) in XI/PI like how much time it has taken process the messages (Total time taken from ECC<>PI<>Third party application) in step wise like,
When the message got fired from ECC,when it reached PI/XI and when it fired from PI/XI to reached 3rd party application.
Please guide me how to find out timing?

Rohini.Hi

Hi,
visit this wiki
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/abap/abap%2bperformance
Hi
see these points which will help regaring peformance point of view
Ways of Performance Tuning
1. Selection Criteria
2. Select Statements
Select Queries
SQL Interface
Aggregate Functions
For all Entries
Select Over more than one Internal table
Selection Criteria
1. Restrict the data to the selection criteria itself, rather than filtering it out using the ABAP code using CHECK statement.
2. Select with selection list.
Points # 1/2
SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA.
CHECK: SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
ENDSELECT.
The above code can be much more optimized by the code written below which avoids CHECK, selects with selection list
SELECT CARRID CONNID FLDATE BOOKID FROM SBOOK INTO TABLE T_SBOOK
WHERE SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
Select Statements Select Queries
1. Avoid nested selects
2. Select all the records in a single shot using into table clause of select statement rather than to use Append statements.
3. When a base table has multiple indices, the where clause should be in the order of the index, either a primary or a secondary index.
4. For testing existence , use Select.. Up to 1 rows statement instead of a Select-Endselect-loop with an Exit.
5. Use Select Single if all primary key fields are supplied in the Where condition .
Point # 1
SELECT * FROM EKKO INTO EKKO_WA.
SELECT * FROM EKAN INTO EKAN_WA
WHERE EBELN = EKKO_WA-EBELN.
ENDSELECT.
ENDSELECT.
The above code can be much more optimized by the code written below.
SELECT PF1 PF2 FF3 FF4 INTO TABLE ITAB
FROM EKKO AS P INNER JOIN EKAN AS F
ON PEBELN = FEBELN.
Note: A simple SELECT loop is a single database access whose result is passed to the ABAP program line by line. Nested SELECT loops mean that the number of accesses in the inner loop is multiplied by the number of accesses in the outer loop. One should therefore use nested SELECT loops only if the selection in the outer loop contains very few lines or the outer loop is a SELECT SINGLE statement.
Point # 2
SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA.
CHECK: SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
ENDSELECT.
The above code can be much more optimized by the code written below which avoids CHECK, selects with selection list and puts the data in one shot using into table
SELECT CARRID CONNID FLDATE BOOKID FROM SBOOK INTO TABLE T_SBOOK
WHERE SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
Point # 3
To choose an index, the optimizer checks the field names specified in the where clause and then uses an index that has the same order of the fields . In certain scenarios, it is advisable to check whether a new index can speed up the performance of a program. This will come handy in programs that access data from the finance tables.
Point # 4
SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA
UP TO 1 ROWS
WHERE CARRID = 'LH'.
ENDSELECT.
The above code is more optimized as compared to the code mentioned below for testing existence of a record.
SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA
WHERE CARRID = 'LH'.
EXIT.
ENDSELECT.
Point # 5
If all primary key fields are supplied in the Where condition you can even use Select Single.
Select Single requires one communication with the database system, whereas Select-Endselect needs two.
Select Statements contd.. SQL Interface
1. Use column updates instead of single-row updates
to update your database tables.
2. For all frequently used Select statements, try to use an index.
3. Using buffered tables improves the performance considerably.
Point # 1
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT INTO SFLIGHT_WA.
SFLIGHT_WA-SEATSOCC =
SFLIGHT_WA-SEATSOCC - 1.
UPDATE SFLIGHT FROM SFLIGHT_WA.
ENDSELECT.
The above mentioned code can be more optimized by using the following code
UPDATE SFLIGHT
SET SEATSOCC = SEATSOCC - 1.
Point # 2
SELECT * FROM SBOOK CLIENT SPECIFIED INTO SBOOK_WA
WHERE CARRID = 'LH'
AND CONNID = '0400'.
ENDSELECT.
The above mentioned code can be more optimized by using the following code
SELECT * FROM SBOOK CLIENT SPECIFIED INTO SBOOK_WA
WHERE MANDT IN ( SELECT MANDT FROM T000 )
AND CARRID = 'LH'
AND CONNID = '0400'.
ENDSELECT.
Point # 3
Bypassing the buffer increases the network considerably
SELECT SINGLE * FROM T100 INTO T100_WA
BYPASSING BUFFER
WHERE SPRSL = 'D'
AND ARBGB = '00'
AND MSGNR = '999'.
The above mentioned code can be more optimized by using the following code
SELECT SINGLE * FROM T100 INTO T100_WA
WHERE SPRSL = 'D'
AND ARBGB = '00'
AND MSGNR = '999'.
Select Statements contd Aggregate Functions
If you want to find the maximum, minimum, sum and average value or the count of a database column, use a select list with aggregate functions instead of computing the aggregates yourself.
Some of the Aggregate functions allowed in SAP are MAX, MIN, AVG, SUM, COUNT, COUNT( * )
Consider the following extract.
Maxno = 0.
Select * from zflight where airln = LF and cntry = IN.
Check zflight-fligh > maxno.
Maxno = zflight-fligh.
Endselect.
The above mentioned code can be much more optimized by using the following code.
Select max( fligh ) from zflight into maxno where airln = LF and cntry = IN.
Select Statements contd 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)
Points to be must considered FOR ALL ENTRIES
Check that data is present in the driver table
Sorting the driver table
Removing duplicates from the driver table
Consider the following piece of extract
Loop at int_cntry.
Select single * from zfligh into int_fligh
where cntry = int_cntry-cntry.
Append int_fligh.
Endloop.
The above mentioned can be more optimized by using the following code.
Sort int_cntry by cntry.
Delete adjacent duplicates from int_cntry.
If NOT int_cntry[] is INITIAL.
Select * from zfligh appending table int_fligh
For all entries in int_cntry
Where cntry = int_cntry-cntry.
Endif.
Select Statements contd Select Over more than one Internal table
1. Its better to use a views instead of nested Select statements.
2. To read data from several logically connected tables use a join instead of nested Select statements. Joins are preferred only if all the primary key are available in WHERE clause for the tables that are joined. If the primary keys are not provided in join the Joining of tables itself takes time.
3. Instead of using nested Select loops it is often better to use subqueries.
Point # 1
SELECT * FROM DD01L INTO DD01L_WA
WHERE DOMNAME LIKE 'CHAR%'
AND AS4LOCAL = 'A'.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM DD01T INTO DD01T_WA
WHERE DOMNAME = DD01L_WA-DOMNAME
AND AS4LOCAL = 'A'
AND AS4VERS = DD01L_WA-AS4VERS
AND DDLANGUAGE = SY-LANGU.
ENDSELECT.
The above code can be more optimized by extracting all the data from view DD01V_WA
SELECT * FROM DD01V INTO DD01V_WA
WHERE DOMNAME LIKE 'CHAR%'
AND DDLANGUAGE = SY-LANGU.
ENDSELECT
Point # 2
SELECT * FROM EKKO INTO EKKO_WA.
SELECT * FROM EKAN INTO EKAN_WA
WHERE EBELN = EKKO_WA-EBELN.
ENDSELECT.
ENDSELECT.
The above code can be much more optimized by the code written below.
SELECT PF1 PF2 FF3 FF4 INTO TABLE ITAB
FROM EKKO AS P INNER JOIN EKAN AS F
ON PEBELN = FEBELN.
Point # 3
SELECT * FROM SPFLI
INTO TABLE T_SPFLI
WHERE CITYFROM = 'FRANKFURT'
AND CITYTO = 'NEW YORK'.
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT AS F
INTO SFLIGHT_WA
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_SPFLI
WHERE SEATSOCC < F~SEATSMAX
AND CARRID = T_SPFLI-CARRID
AND CONNID = T_SPFLI-CONNID
AND FLDATE BETWEEN '19990101' AND '19990331'.
ENDSELECT.
The above mentioned code can be even more optimized by using subqueries instead of for all entries.
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT AS F INTO SFLIGHT_WA
WHERE SEATSOCC < F~SEATSMAX
AND EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM SPFLI
WHERE CARRID = F~CARRID
AND CONNID = F~CONNID
AND CITYFROM = 'FRANKFURT'
AND CITYTO = 'NEW YORK' )
AND FLDATE BETWEEN '19990101' AND '19990331'.
ENDSELECT.
1. Table operations should be done using explicit work areas rather than via header lines.
2. Always try to use binary search instead of linear search. But dont forget to sort your internal table before that.
3. A dynamic key access is slower than a static one, since the key specification must be evaluated at runtime.
4. A binary search using secondary index takes considerably less time.
5. LOOP ... WHERE is faster than LOOP/CHECK because LOOP ... WHERE evaluates the specified condition internally.
6. Modifying selected components using MODIFY itab TRANSPORTING f1 f2.. accelerates the task of updating a line of an internal table.
Point # 2
READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA WITH KEY K = 'X BINARY SEARCH.
IS MUCH FASTER THAN USING
READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA WITH KEY K = 'X'.
If TAB has n entries, linear search runs in O( n ) time, whereas binary search takes only O( log2( n ) ).
Point # 3
READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA WITH KEY K = 'X'. IS FASTER THAN USING
READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA WITH KEY (NAME) = 'X'.
Point # 5
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA WHERE K = 'X'.
ENDLOOP.
The above code is much faster than using
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
CHECK WA-K = 'X'.
ENDLOOP.
Point # 6
WA-DATE = SY-DATUM.
MODIFY ITAB FROM WA INDEX 1 TRANSPORTING DATE.
The above code is more optimized as compared to
WA-DATE = SY-DATUM.
MODIFY ITAB FROM WA INDEX 1.
7. Accessing the table entries directly in a "LOOP ... ASSIGNING ..." accelerates the task of updating a set of lines of an internal table considerably
8. If collect semantics is required, it is always better to use to COLLECT rather than READ BINARY and then ADD.
9. "APPEND LINES OF itab1 TO itab2" accelerates the task of appending a table to another table considerably as compared to LOOP-APPEND-ENDLOOP.
10. DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES accelerates the task of deleting duplicate entries considerably as compared to READ-LOOP-DELETE-ENDLOOP.
11. "DELETE itab FROM ... TO ..." accelerates the task of deleting a sequence of lines considerably as compared to DO -DELETE-ENDDO.
Point # 7
Modifying selected components only makes the program faster as compared to Modifying all lines completely.
e.g,
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
I = SY-TABIX MOD 2.
IF I = 0.
<WA>-FLAG = 'X'.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
The above code works faster as compared to
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
I = SY-TABIX MOD 2.
IF I = 0.
WA-FLAG = 'X'.
MODIFY ITAB FROM WA.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Point # 8
LOOP AT ITAB1 INTO WA1.
READ TABLE ITAB2 INTO WA2 WITH KEY K = WA1-K BINARY SEARCH.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
ADD: WA1-VAL1 TO WA2-VAL1,
WA1-VAL2 TO WA2-VAL2.
MODIFY ITAB2 FROM WA2 INDEX SY-TABIX TRANSPORTING VAL1 VAL2.
ELSE.
INSERT WA1 INTO ITAB2 INDEX SY-TABIX.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
The above code uses BINARY SEARCH for collect semantics. READ BINARY runs in O( log2(n) ) time. The above piece of code can be more optimized by
LOOP AT ITAB1 INTO WA.
COLLECT WA INTO ITAB2.
ENDLOOP.
SORT ITAB2 BY K.
COLLECT, however, uses a hash algorithm and is therefore independent
of the number of entries (i.e. O(1)) .
Point # 9
APPEND LINES OF ITAB1 TO ITAB2.
This is more optimized as compared to
LOOP AT ITAB1 INTO WA.
APPEND WA TO ITAB2.
ENDLOOP.
Point # 10
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM ITAB COMPARING K.
This is much more optimized as compared to
READ TABLE ITAB INDEX 1 INTO PREV_LINE.
LOOP AT ITAB FROM 2 INTO WA.
IF WA = PREV_LINE.
DELETE ITAB.
ELSE.
PREV_LINE = WA.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Point # 11
DELETE ITAB FROM 450 TO 550.
This is much more optimized as compared to
DO 101 TIMES.
DELETE ITAB INDEX 450.
ENDDO.
12. Copying internal tables by using ITAB2[ ] = ITAB1[ ] as compared to LOOP-APPEND-ENDLOOP.
13. Specify the sort key as restrictively as possible to run the program faster.
Point # 12
ITAB2[] = ITAB1[].
This is much more optimized as compared to
REFRESH ITAB2.
LOOP AT ITAB1 INTO WA.
APPEND WA TO ITAB2.
ENDLOOP.
Point # 13
SORT ITAB BY K. makes the program runs faster as compared to SORT ITAB.
Internal Tables contd
Hashed and Sorted tables
1. For single read access hashed tables are more optimized as compared to sorted tables.
2. For partial sequential access sorted tables are more optimized as compared to hashed tables
Hashed And Sorted Tables
Point # 1
Consider the following example where HTAB is a hashed table and STAB is a sorted table
DO 250 TIMES.
N = 4 * SY-INDEX.
READ TABLE HTAB INTO WA WITH TABLE KEY K = N.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
This runs faster for single read access as compared to the following same code for sorted table
DO 250 TIMES.
N = 4 * SY-INDEX.
READ TABLE STAB INTO WA WITH TABLE KEY K = N.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
Point # 2
Similarly for Partial Sequential access the STAB runs faster as compared to HTAB
LOOP AT STAB INTO WA WHERE K = SUBKEY.
ENDLOOP.
This runs faster as compared to
LOOP AT HTAB INTO WA WHERE K = SUBKEY.
ENDLOOP.

Tools for Performance Analysis
Run time analysis transaction SE30
SQL Trace transaction ST05
Extended Program Check (SLIN)
Code Inspector ( SCI)
Run time analysis transaction SE30 :This transaction gives all the analysis of an ABAP program with respect to the database and the non-database processing.
SQL Trace transaction ST05: The trace list has many lines that are not related to the SELECT statement in the ABAP program. This is because the execution of any ABAP program requires additional administrative SQL calls. To restrict the list output, use the filter introducing the trace list.
The trace list contains different SQL statements simultaneously related to the one SELECT statement in the ABAP program. This is because the R/3 Database Interface - a sophisticated component of the R/3 Application Server - maps every Open SQL statement to one or a series of physical database calls and brings it to execution. This mapping, crucial to R/3s performance, depends on the particular call and database system. For example, the SELECT-ENDSELECT loop on a particular database table of the ABAP program would be mapped to a sequence PREPARE-OPEN-FETCH of physical calls in an Oracle environment.
The WHERE clause in the trace list's SQL statement is different from the WHERE clause in the ABAP statement. This is because in an R/3 system, a client is a self-contained unit with separate master records and its own set of table data (in commercial, organizational, and technical terms). With ABAP, every Open SQL statement automatically executes within the correct client environment. For this reason, a condition with the actual client code is added to every WHERE clause if a client field is a component of the searched table.
To see a statement's execution plan, just position the cursor on the PREPARE statement and choose Explain SQL. A detailed explanation of the execution plan depends on the database system in use.
Extended Program Check
This can be called in through transaction SE38 or through transaction SLIN. This indicates possible problems that may cause performance problems.
Code Inspector (SCI)
You can call the Code Inspector from the ABAP Editor (SE38), the Function Builder (SE37), the Class Builder (SE24), or as a separate transaction (SCI).
The Code Inspector indicates possible problems. However, note that, especially with performance issues: There is no rule without exception. If a program passes an inspection, it does not necessarily mean that this program will have no performance problems.
Run time analysis transaction SE30
In Transaction SE30, fill in the transaction name or the program name which needs to be analyzed for performance tuning.
For our case, let this be ZABAP_PERF_TUNING
After giving the required inputs to the program, execute it. After the final output list has been displayed, PRESS the BACK button.
On the original SE30 screen, now click on ANALYZE button.
The percentage across each of the areas ABAP/ Database/System shows the percentage of total time used for those areas and load on these areas while running the program . The lesser the database load faster the program runs.
SQL Trace ST05
Starting the Trace:
To analyze a trace file, do the following:
Choose Performance Trace in the ABAP Workbench or go tothe menu path Test Transaction ST05. The initial screen of the test tool appears. In the lower part of the screen, the status of the Performance Trace is displayed. This provides you with information as to whether any of the Performance Traces are switched on and the users for which they are enabled. It also tells you which user has switched the trace on.
Using the selection buttons provided, set which trace functions you wish to have switched on (SWL trace, enqueue trace, RFC trace, table buffer trace).
If you want to switch on the trace under your user name, choose Trace on. If you want to pass on values for one or several filter criteria, choose Trace with Filter. Typical filter criteria are: the name of the user, transaction name, process name, and program name.
Now run the program to be analyzed.
Stopping the Trace:
To deactivate the trace:
Choose Performance Trace in the ABAP Workbench. The initial screen ofTest the test tool appears. It contains a status line displaying the traces that are active, the users for whom they are active, and the user who activated them.
Select the trace functions that you want to switch off.
Choose Deactivate Trace. If you started the trace yourself, you can now switch it off immediately. If the performance trace was started by a different user, a confirmation prompt appears before deactivation-
Analyzing a Sample trace data:
PREPARE: Prepares the OPEN statement for use and determines the access method.
OPEN: Opens the cursor and specifies the selection result by filling the selection fields with concrete values.
FETCH: Moves the cursor through the dataset created by the OPEN operation. The array size displayed beside the fetch data means that the system can transfer a maximum package size of 392 records at one time into the buffered area.
Tools provided for Performance Analysis
Following are the different tools provided by SAP for performance analysis of an ABAP object
Run time analysis transaction SE30
This transaction gives all the analysis of an ABAP program with respect to the database and the non-database processing.
SQL Trace transaction ST05
The trace list has many lines that are not related to the SELECT statement in the ABAP program. This is because the execution of any ABAP program requires additional administrative SQL calls. To restrict the list output, use the filter introducing the trace list.
The trace list contains different SQL statements simultaneously related to the one SELECT statement in the ABAP program. This is because the R/3 Database Interface - a sophisticated component of the R/3 Application Server - maps every Open SQL statement to one or a series of physical database calls and brings it to execution. This mapping, crucial to R/3s performance, depends on the particular call and database system. For example, the SELECT-ENDSELECT loop on the SPFLI table in our test program is mapped to a sequence PREPARE-OPEN-FETCH of physical calls in an Oracle environment.
The WHERE clause in the trace list's SQL statement is different from the WHERE clause in the ABAP statement. This is because in an R/3 system, a client is a self-contained unit with separate master records and its own set of table data (in commercial, organizational, and technical terms). With ABAP, every Open SQL statement automatically executes within the correct client environment. For this reason, a condition with the actual client code is added to every WHERE clause if a client field is a component of the searched table.
To see a statement's execution plan, just position the cursor on the PREPARE statement and choose Explain SQL. A detailed explanation of the execution plan depends on the database system in use. -
Dear colleagues,
Is any posilble check or test (benchmark) of DB performance before and after CPU patching?
Any testing SAP or SQL report, which makes a load on DB?
Thank you for advice.
Best Regards

Those test would be synthetic and may or may not reflect your current environment.
I'd check some long running reports in your environment if you see any difference.

How to check whether RFC is activated
I would like to know whether my system is using RFC? Any way to check in the system?
Hi, if you asking if XI/PI is sending/receiving RFCs, I recommend doing the following research.
Check in communication channel monitoring of runtime workbench if any communication channels of type RFC are active and running. Start transaction SXMB_IFR, open Runtime Workbench, then Component Monitoring, display components with status All, under Domain choose integration server -> adapter engine and then communication channel monitoring. Choose adapter type RFC.
Still, if you find RFC channels set up in RWB, it doesn't necessarily mean they are used by any scenario. To find out if RFC is in use, go to integration builder and do a search with Ctrl+F for receiver determinations and receiver agreements for namespace urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions.
