Performance test monitoring

Hi,
while doing PT we used to take snaps of health,performance,threads inside the 'monitoring' tab.
But is there any correct approach for monitoring PT. I mean specifically which all parameters we have to check?

well. i found it little bit vague on testing area. it is just mentioning about threads and heap size. I would like to know what it would mean exactly by pt monitoring. and ideallly what all parameters we have to check

How/What can we monitor in DB02 for performance testing?

We are conducting a performance test/load before golive of HCM in SAP.
I am looking at DB02 but have NO idea of what to monitor for? there is so MUCH
Any suggestions, would certainly be appreciated asap
Thank you so much!
maria

Well, rather than trying to explain in the forum, I suggest you download the document "The SAP DBA Cockpit for Microsoft SQL Server" from:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/1062428c-f1df-2910-b08f-c322feddcd10?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
This will explain everything you need to know about DB02 transaction for MS SQL server. You can read through it find out what all monitoring can be done.
You can check the following Areas:
Performance (ST04)
Space (DB02)
Configuration = Some ST04 detail screens plus new ones
Diagnostics = Some ST04 and DB02 detail screens plus new ones
Frankly, Space and performance are the main areas.
Refer to the guide and this should solve all your doubts.

Monitoring WebLogic During Performance Test

I am running performance tests on our WebLogic Server and would like to be able
to pull the Thread Queue Length, Thread Queue Throughput and Java Heap % statistics
that are displayed in the WebLogic Console and put them in a text file every so
often during the test. This way I can use those statistics with others I collect.
I assume that if the console is able to display this information that it must
be available. Does anyone know how I could do this?
Thanks In Advance

[Ann] FirstACT 2.2 released for SOAP performance testing

Empirix Releases FirstACT 2.2 for Performance Testing of SOAP-based Web Services
FirstACT 2.2 is available for free evaluation immediately at http://www.empirix.com/TryFirstACT
Waltham, MA -- June 5, 2002 -- Empirix Inc., the leading provider of test and monitoring
solutions for Web, voice and network applications, today announced FirstACT™ 2.2,
the fifth release of the industry's first and most comprehensive automated performance
testing tool for Web Services.
As enterprise organizations are beginning to adopt Web Services, the types of Web
Services being developed and their testing needs is in a state of change. Major
software testing solution vendor, Empirix is committed to ensuring that organizations
developing enterprise software using Web Services can continue to verify the performance
of their enterprise as quickly and cost effectively as possible regardless of the
architecture they are built upon.
Working with organizations developing Web Services, we have observed several emerging
trends. First, organizations are tending to develop Web Services that transfer a
sizable amount of data within each transaction by passing in user-defined XML data
types as part of the SOAP request. As a result, they require a solution that automatically
generates SOAP requests using XML data types and allows them to be quickly customized.
Second, organizations require highly scalable test solutions. Many organizations
are using Web Services to exchange information between business partners and have
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in place specifying guaranteed performance metrics.
Organizations need to performance test to these SLAs to avoid financial and business
penalties. Finally, many organizations just beginning to use automated testing tools
for Web Services have already made significant investments in making SOAP scripts
by hand. They would like to import SOAP requests into an automated testing tool
for regression testing.
Empirix FirstACT 2.2 meets or exceeds the testing needs of these emerging trends
in Web Services testing by offering the following new functionality:
1. Automatic and customizable test script generation for XML data types – FirstACT
2.2 will generate complete test scripts and allow the user to graphically customize
test data without requiring programming. FirstACT now includes a simple-to-use XML
editor for data entry or more advanced SOAP request customization.
2. Scalability Guarantee – FirstACT 2.2 has been designed to be highly scalable to
performance test Web Services. Customers using FirstACT today regularly simulate
between several hundred to several thousand users. Empirix will guarantee to
performance test the numbers of users an organization needs to test to meet its business
needs.
3. Importing Existing Test Scripts – FirstACT 2.2 can now import existing SOAP request
directly into the tool on a user-by-user basis. As a result, some users simulated
can import SOAP requests; others can be automatically generated by FirstACT.
Web Services facilitates the easy exchange of business-critical data and information
across heterogeneous network systems. Gartner estimates that 75% of all businesses
with more than $100 million in sales will have begun to develop Web Services applications
or will have deployed a production system using Web Services technology by the end
of 2002. As part of this move to Web Services, "vendors are moving forward with
the technology and architecture elements underlying a Web Services application model,"
Gartner reports. While this model holds exciting potential, the added protocol layers
necessary to implement it can have a serious impact on application performance, causing
delays in development and in the retrieval of information for end users.
"Today Web Services play an increasingly prominent but changing role in the success
of enterprise software projects, but they can only deliver on their promise if they
perform reliably," said Steven Kolak, FirstACT product manager at Empirix. "With
its graphical user interface and extensive test-case generation capability, FirstACT
is the first Web Services testing tool that can be used by software developers or
QA test engineers. FirstACT tests the performance and functionality of Web Services
whether they are built upon J2EE, .NET, or other technologies. FirstACT 2.2 provides
the most comprehensive Web Services testing solution that meets or exceeds the changing
demands of organizations testing Web Services for performance, functionality, and
functionality under load.”

Simon,
I will admit, I almost never use SQL Developer. I have been a long time Toad user, but for this tool, I fumbled around a bit and got everything up and running quickly.
That said, I tried the new GeoRaptor tool using this tutorial (which is I think is close enough to get the jist). http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/georaptor/index.php?title=A_Gentle_Introduction:_Create_Table,_Metadata_Registration,_Indexing_and_Mapping
As I stumble around it, I'll try and leave some feedback, and probably ask some rather stupid questions.
Thanks for the effort,
Bryan

OSB: Performance Testing

Hi All,
I would like to test our OSB Service for Performance. I have already done the test in SOAPUI . But my performance testing requirement is something like this below
Request and Response Flow :
The consumer sends the requests to
Consumer Level OSB (This enrichs the message) and routes to Orchestration level OSB
Orchestration Level OSB (Performs Orchestration ) by communicating with Data Layer OSB
Data Layer Level OSB (This one actually connects to provider database)
I would like to send a request from any performance tool that would give me the amount of time taken at each OSB Layer.
Please help me !!!
Thanks

Enable monitoring on each of the OSB services involved in the flow. You can enable monitoring at service level, pipeline level or action level. Then run your performance test from SOAP UI or Load Runner or jMeter.
After that, you can monitor the statistics of each of the services in sbconsole dashboard's service health section. Depending on the level selected you will be able to see number of requests, average processing time, min and max processing time of each service/operation/pipeline/action etc.

Performance testing doubt with XI.

Hi All,
How is performance testign done inside XI?
We need to propose to the testing team the different methids of testing the interfaces that run through XI.
Is there some document available to explain the same?
Also any other method of testing for XI?
Thanks.

Hi
How is performance testign done inside XI?
Performance testing can be done by passing certain number of the messages and you can get how fast those messages being processed in Integration Engine or BPE.
On RWB, you can get the reading from "Performance Monitoring"
We need to propose to the testing team the different methids of testing the interfaces that run through XI.
Unit test is done by developer.
End-to-Ent test: is functionality test of your interface, a basic message are triggered from your sending system, and final verification point should be on your receiving system.
Loading test: A test to stress application server to identify bottbleneck:
e.g. can my system process single message with size of 50 MB ?
if I sending 10000 messages within very short of time period, is my system is able to process them without error ?
UAT: User acceptance test: This test is conducted by business user, will execute all the business scenarios to see if your interface can handle without error.
Hope it helps

How to have continouse performance testing during development phase?

I understand that for corporate projects there are always requirements like roughy how long it can take for certain process.
Is there any rough guideline as how much time certain process will take?
And is there anyway i can have something like JMeter that will do constant monitor of the performance as i start development?
Can go down to method level, but should also be able to show total time taken for a certain module or action etc.
I think it is somthing like continuous integration like cruise control..but is more for performance continouse evaluation..
Any advice anyone

Just a thought: how useful would continuous performance testing be? First off, I wouldn't have the main build include performance tests. What if the build fails on performance? It isn't necessarily something you'll fix quickly, so you could be stuck with a broken build for quite some time, which means either your devs won't be committing code, or they'll be comitting code on a broken build which kind-of negates the point of CI. So you'd have a nightly build for performance, or something. Then what? Someone comes in in the morning and sees the performance build failed, and fixes it? Hmmm, maybe your corporate culture is different, but we've got a nightly metrics build that sits broken for weeks on end before someone looks at it. As long as the master builds are OK, nobody cares. Given that performance problems might well take several weeks of dedicated time to fix, I reckon they're far more likely to be fixed as a result of failing acceptance tests, rather than the CI environment reporting them
Just my opinions, of course

SAP Performance Testing - Manual or Automated?

Our organization is attempting to develop a regular performance testing effort. Everything wehave read points to using a tool, such as LoadRunner, to do performance testing. However, we're just starting and simply want to baseline several transactions, jobs, programs, etc (less than 30 items). We have tools to monitor the backend results and grab metrics, but no tools to automate the testing itself. Does anyone do their performance testing manually? What are some advantages to doing this?

Hi Yogi,
I think HP LoadRunner is one of the best tools for SAP performance testing. I did it for many years. It is now included with Solution Manager. Here is the link for for HP Mercury regarding performance testing.

Best Approach for Performance/Event Monitoring

I'm completely new to SAP and would appreciate the input of some more experienced folks.
I have been given two tasks for SAP: performance monitoring of the SAP application/associated modules (e.g. SAP Memory utilization, number of processes, etc.) and alarm event monitoring (anything that would be characterized as a error and logged).
For the performance monitoring I would like a access the metrics once every 5 minutes to keep a running history. Several things I've started to look at are the Alert Manager and perhaps a Perl API interface.
For alarm events, I assume there is some SAP module that can monitor for these and generate SNMP traps or perhaps a custom application that does log mining. As part of this I am trying to determine where error events are written to in SAP (e.g. a log file??).
If anyone has insight or can point me in the right direction, I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance.
Ed

Dear Ed,
If Wily Introscope is configured for your Portal, which shoold be the case because SAP delivers it as with SAP Solution Manager, all metrics which oyu mention would be available.
If you are running a testing instance which is not integrated with Solution Manager, you could try the Web Administrator

MDM performance test

Hi all,
Anyone has done a performance test on MDM? Any test script would be really helpful!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
MDM Performance need to be monitored in basically two main MDM activities when it come to working in MDM real time:
1) MDM Importing
2) MDM Syndicatiion
MDM Importing:
- When ever you are using MDM in an IT Landscape there will be many source systems from where data will be inputted into MDM.
- This data may either be imported in a Manual fashion or Automatically as in most case using the MDM import server.
- In either case you will have to deal with thousands of records.
- Importing such a large set of records afftects the performance as very stage till importing means(at the record matching steps etc till teh final import)
- The performance gets affected slowing the process of importing right from opening a saved map ar even Field or value mapping.
- And above all if you have an exception due to which a single record in the import chunk fails then the entire set fails.
- So care must be taken to improve the performance of importing records.
- Which is done taking into consideration the following:
Areas to focus on improving performance during Importing:
1) The chunk size which defines the number of records to be imported at a time
2) The number of records processed parallely (MDIS settings)
3) The number of Fields Mapped
4) Number of Matching field used
5) The number of Validations and assignemnts running on the records etc
MDM Syndication:
- In the similar lines MDM performance also should be monitored when Harmonising data to the target systems
- Selecting the records to be syndicated using search criteria,Suppressing Unchanged records,Key mapping etc all afftects the MDM performance adversely.
You can in general create test scripts that will monitor MDM system performance in thes two prime areas as well as in MDM generak activities as well.Using different OS and different sizing.As MDM performance will differ according to the Software used in each case which includes the disk space,Cache and RAM as well.
You can Create test scripts on the following activities using differnt Configurations and thus compare and test teh performance of teh MDM system under different conditions with the expected output as against the actual output
- Testing mounting/unmounting repoisitory
- Loading/Unloading Rep
- Export/Import Schema
- Archieving/Unarchieving rep
- Creating Master/Slave rep
- Importing different sets of Records using manual and automatic method
- Syndicating different sets of rec using Manual and automatic method
Hope it helped
Thanks & Regards

UI performance testing of pivot table

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a tool that I can use to do performance testing on a pivot table. I am populating a pivot table(declaratively) with a data source of over 100,000 cells and I need to record the browser rendering time of the pivot table using 50 or so parallel threads(requests). I tried running performance tests using JMeter, but that didn't help.
This is what I tried so far with JMeter:
I deployed the application in the integratedweblogicserver and specify the Url to hit in JMeter ( http://127.0.0.1:7101/PivotTableSample-ViewController-context-root/faces/Sample) and added a response assertion for the response code 200. Although I am able to hit the url successfully, the response I get is a javascript with a message that says "This is the loopback script to process the url before the real page loads. It introduces a separate round trip". When I checked in firebug, it looks like request redirect of some sort happens from this javascript to another Url (with some randomly generated parameters) which then returns the html response of the pivot table. I am unable to hit that Url directly as I get a message saying "session expired". It looks like a redirect happens from the first request and then session is created for that request and a redirect occurs.
I am able to check the browser rendering time of the pivot table in firebug (.net tab), but that is only for a single request. I'd appreciate it if anyone could guide me on this.
Thanks
Naveen

I found the link below that explains configuration of JMeter for performance testing of ADF applications(Although I couldn't find a solution to figure out the browser rendering time for parallel threads).

Performance testing of servlets / beans / jsp ?

Hi. I'd like to performance test my applications, anyone have a clue on what software to use?
I use Fort� for Java CE 3 as the IDE and TomCat 3.23 as the servlet / jsp container.
Hopefully there are some opensource tools to use for this?
Regards,
Chris

You can precompile JSP's, this removes the small hickup when they are requested the first time (making the server translate and compile them). Check the documentation of your specific web/application server on how to do this.
Otherwise:
- buy better hardware
- use a better application server
- make sure your network is properly configured (so packets don't get routed around the network four times before they reach their destination for example)
- make sure your program logic doesn't create bottlenecks such as
unnecessary HTTP requests, redundant loops, etc.
- optimize your database access, use connection pooling
- optimize your database queries. Create indexes, make sure the SQL queries themselves aren't doing unnecessary trips around the database, etc.

Can Web Performance Test work on AJAX or Javascript Project which will show only one URL for all the pages?

Hi there,
I'm working on testing a AJAX and JavaScript Project which has several pages but all in the same URL. I need to test some attribute on the page or parameter past by AJAX or Javascript. Can Web Performance Test work to get what I want?
Thanks,

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
Web performance test is used to test if a server responses correctly and the response is consistent with what we expected. And we test the response speed, the stability and scalability.
The Web Performance Test Recorder records both AJAX requests and requests that were submitted from JavaScript, but
web test does not execute JavaScript. I am afraid that you can’t use web test to test parameter past by AJAX or JavaScript.
Please see:
Web Performance Test Engine Overview
About JavaScript and ActiveX Controls in Web Performance Tests
From the first link, “Client-side scripting that sets parameter values or results in additional HTTP requests, such as AJAX, does affect the load on the server and might require you to manually modify the Web Performance Test to simulate the scripting.”
If you want to execute the function typically performed by script in web test, you need to accomplish it in coded web performance test or a web performance test plugin. Please see:
How to: Create a Coded Web Performance Test
How to: Create a Web Performance Test Plug-In
I am not sure what the ‘some attribute on the page’ is. If you mean that you want to test those controls on the page, you can do coded UI test, which can test that the user interface for an application functions correctly. The coded UI test performs actions
on the user interface controls for an application and verifies that the correct controls are displayed with the correct values. You can refer to this article for detailed information about code UI test:
Verifying Code by Using Coded User Interface Tests
