SAP XI BPM Performance and statistics

Hello all,
I am currently working on an integration using the BPM process within XI. During our initial testing, we noticed that, when it comes to the BPM process, XI takes too long to process a message. The actual size of the payload is really small and there is not much to the BPM process.
For example, I create one BPM process that takes a message and splits the message into separate documents for each target application and pass it on to another BPM process. The second process takes the message and changes its format to what is expected by the receiving application. It calls the target system and waits for a response.
Sender     Recv'r     Begin       End        End - Begin
SAPPRG     Split     11:29:46 11:31:01 74.810089
Split     Route     11:35:11 11:35:17 6.312764
Split     Route     11:35:28 11:35:40 12.021294
Route     DW     11:35:49 11:35:59 10.71562
Route     MPR     11:35:50 11:36:00 9.579952
DW     Route     11:35:59 11:35:59 0.50343
MPR     Route     11:35:59 11:36:00 0.485403
     Total                0:06:14 1.907142533
We also noticed some gaps b/w a message been send and receive steps within XI. I would like to know if there is any statistics on XI performance when it comes to processing messages within the BPM process and/or some documentation on how to improve performance using BPM.
Please, advise
Thanks..

Hi,
Checklist to use BPM-
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3bf550d4-0201-0010-b2ae-8569d193124e
Also refer this Performance tuning guide-
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000592892005E.PDF
If you are using Correlation etc, then try to use Local Correlation. SO that you can avoid the scope of the correlation to the entire process. By default it will be for entire process. Even you can make use Block step and try to group related steps and give the scope of the steps for the block.
Hope this helps,

Performance and Statistics

Hi,
I have a question regarding database statistics and running SQL queries. The situation is the following: our developers have very small development databases and poor SQL gets bumped up to production where the problems become obvious. Giving access to the production database is out of the question, so is it possible to copy over the statistics from our production database and insert it into our development environments to simulate real world run times.
I have spoken to a couple of DBA's and everyone has a different opinion on the matter. Some say that it can't be done, but one mentioned that it could be done but it might not work right. He mentioned histograms, and that just the statistics could not give what we are looking for. Opinions?
This is part of my co-op term project to catch poor SQL in development prior to having it built into the production code. I will appreciate any help given and if more info is required than I will do my best to provide the most accurate information.
Thanks
Sebastian

In my previous project we used to replicate the production data to non prod environments like test and dev environments.
First we used to replicate to Cert (onsite testing) and NPI the sensitive information.
NPI means either encrypt or corrupt the data which has no meaning, like SSN, borrower information etc.
From Cert we used to replicate the data to all the other non prod environments. We used to do this every quarter or 4 months.
Apart from replicating the production data nothing will work to do performance testing.
Even this will not work for some scenarios. Some things will be caught in production only.

Performance problems with SAP GUI 7.10 and BEx 3.5 Patch 400?

Hi everybody,
we installed SAP GUI 7.10 and BEx 3.5 Patch 400 and detected hugh performance problems with this version in comparison to the SAP GUI 6.40 and BEx 3.5 or BEx 7.0 Patch 800.
Does anybody detect the same problems?

Performance Problems - Index and Statistics

Dear Gurus,
I am having problems lossing indexes and statistics on cubes ,it seems my indexes are too old which in fact are not too old just created a month back and we check indexes daily and it returns us RED on the manage TAB.
please help

Dear Mr Syed ,
Solution steps I mentioned in my previous reply itself explains so called RE-ORG of tables;however to clarify more on that issue.
Occasionally,ORACLE Cost-Based Optimizer may calculate the estimated costs for a Full Table Scan lower than those for an Index Scan, although the actual runtime of an access via an index would be considerably lower than the runtime of the Full Table Scan,Some Imperative points to be considered in order to perk up the performance and improve on quandary areas such as extensive running times for Change runs & Aggregate activate & fill ups.
Performance problems based on a wrong optimizer decision would show that there is something serious missing at Database level and we need to RE_ORG the degenerated indexes in order to perk up the overall performance and avoid daily manual (RSRV+RSNAORA)activities on almost similar indexes.
For Re-organizing degenerated indexes 3 options are available-
1) DROP INDEX ..., and CREATE INDEX 
2)ALTER INDEX <index name> REBUILD (ONLINE PARALLEL x NOLOGGING)
3) ALTER INDEX <index name> COALESCE [as of Oracle 8i (8.1) only]
Each option has its Pros & Cons ,option 2 seems to be having lot of advantages to
Advantages- option 2
1)Fast storage in a different table space possible
2)Creates a new index tree
3)Gives the option to change storage parameters without deleting the index
4)As of Oracle 8i (8.1), you can avoid a lock on the table by specifying the ONLINE option. In this case, Oracle waits until the resource has been released, and then starts the rebuild. The "resource busy" error no longer occurs.
I would still leave the Database tech team be the best to judge and take a call on these.
These modus operandi could be institutionalized for all fretful cubes & its indexes as well.
However,I leave the thoughts with you.
Hope it Helps

What are the best ways (for best performance) in MII to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?

Hi All,
Can you please suggest to choose the best ways (for best performance) in MII (12.2 on NW 7.3), to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?
Thanks

Hi Surya,
Best practices for flow of data from ECC --> SAP MII --> Shop floor & Vice verse:
1. Send ECC data through IDOC's/RFC's as messages to SAP MII message listener and BSL transaction process data and update directly on shop floor database as if you configured in Data services or later send those data by web service to shop floor system (i.e. depends on Shop floor machines).
From Shop floor:
shop floor --> SAP MII --> ECC
1. Use either Web service or fetch data from DB and pass data to BAPI's for sending to ECC through BLS transaction.

Praveen Reddy

SAP NW BPM and NW CE in heterogeneous system landscape and SOX

Hi,
Does anybody have experience with implementation of SAP NW BPM in a heterogeneous system environment (SAP, non-SAP, Legacy) in regards to detailed audit requirements (SOX compliance)? SAP Business Workflow is well established regarding SOX compliancy. But, what about NW BPM?
Thanks for you replies in advance.
Shahram

Hi Shahram,
Not sure about the way you are implementing BPM in SAP/NonSAP scenario, but in BPM you can have detailed reporting and analytics for auditing purpose.
You can also create your own data source and pass data values from the process.
Check : [Real-Time Reporting|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw72/helpdata/en/a1/bde4657d1f42e3a7c698d16a699635/content.htm]

How does Index fragmentation and statistics affect the sql query performance

Hi,
How does Index fragmentation and statistics affect the sql query performance
Thanks

How does Index fragmentation and statistics affect the sql query performance
Very simple answer, outdated statistics will lead optimizer to create bad plans which in turn will require more resources and this will impact performance. If index is fragmented ( mainly clustered index,holds true for Non clustred as well) time spent in finding
the value will be more as query would have to search fragmented index to look for data, additional spaces will increase search time.

PI 7.31 Dual Stack Using BPM/BRM and ccBPM

Hello,
My client has decided to use SAP PI 7.31, because we have many ccBPM solutions, being used a long time, the idea is install the Dual Stack solution and keep using the ccBPM, at least for while.
But for the new integration solutions, we would like to use the AEX(Local AEX-Based) and connect to BPM and BRM, and maybe migrate the old solutions when possible.
Is it possible, use the both solutions( AEX/BPM/BRM and ccBPM) ? In this case, we will have all the benefits and great perfomance
when using the AEX/BPM/BRM(Local AEX-Based) solution, that we have in the single stack ?
Best regards,
Dylon.

Hi, vishal jain.
Thank you! Checking your link, we will probably choose the third case:
If PI is installed as dual-stack, then PO, PI and BPM/BRM, will have to be installed with different SIDs. PI on one SID and BPM/BRM on a different SID.
But the question remains... in this case is possible to use ccBPM and BPM/BRM, ok ?
And when using the BPM/BRPM, how is the performance and benefits ?
Are the same when using single stack solution ?
Best regards!

BPM performance question

Guys,
I do understand that ccPBM is very resource hungry but what I was wondering is this:
Once you use BPM, does an extra step decreases the performance significantly? Or does it just need slightly more resources?
More specifically we have quite complex mapping in 2 BPM steps. Combining them would make the mapping less clear but would it worth doing so from the performance point of view?
Your opinion is appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Viktor Varga

Hi,
In SXMB_ADM you can set the time out higher for the sync processing.
Go to Integration Processing in SXMB_ADM and add parameter SA_COMM CHECK_FOR_ASYNC_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT to 120 (seconds). You can also increase the number of parallel processes if you have more waiting now. SA_COMM CHECK_FOR_MAX_SYNC_CALLS from 20 to XX. All depends on your hardware but this helped me from the standard 60 seconds to go to may be 70 in some cases.
Make sure that your calling system does not have a timeout below that you set in XI otherwise yours will go on and finish and your partner may end up sending it twice
when you go for BPM the whole workflow
has to come into action so for example
when your mapping last < 1 sec without bpm
if you do it in a BPM the transformation step
can last 2 seconds + one second mapping...
(that's just an example)
so the workflow gives you many design possibilities
(brigde, error handling) but it can
slow down the process and if you have
thousands of messages the preformance
can be much worse than having the same without BPM

SAP Note 434495 (BRConnect and SAPDBA related)

We have upgraded from 3.1 to 3.5 and from transaction DB13 we no longer have the option: 'Update InfoCube and Partition statistics'. We have found a note 434495 which seems to mention that this is now accessible from transaction RZ21. Can anyone shed some light? Thanks

SAP suggests you to build a pre-calculated data table and a z-report to solve the problem of performance getting poor of transaction MB5B. They give suggestions to write programs that fill the new database table and a report to substitute MB5B transaction
First download and install in development or sandbox system the transport request of [Note 32236 - Incorrect stock qty or stock value in material master|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/32236] and check the included reports which are very similar.

Excessive reads affecting SAP ECC 6 performance post upgrade.

We just recently upgraded SAP to ECC 6, r2. We are using Windows Server OS 2000 for both database and application servers, and SQL Server 2000 sp4 is the DBMS. While the SAP application is performing its work and producing results, it is taking longer to complete and thus the perception is that this new version of SAP is not working!
I say 'excessive reads' because when you look at the transaction load via SM66, there are many more sequential reads occurring than were occurring before the upgrade.
Help Please as I just heard a person ask if we could roll back to 4.6c. Any suggestions are most appreciated.

Hi Carla,
I suppose you have done all the necessary stuff like update statistics. Please check note 155413 and analyze the statements. The step from 4.6c to ECC6.0 is not only big, it is huge (concerning changes within the application), so the perception of your users is not that wrong. You are running the latest version from SAP on the oldest supported versions from Microsoft - that doesn't really make sense. A quick gain would be an upgrade to SQL Server 2005 (better optimizer, better tools,...). If this really affects your production environment, open a call at SAP.

Max No. of records in a table - performance related statistics of a table

Hi all,
Can anybody please help me on the performance related statistics depending upon the size of the table?
I have a question regarding the scalability and(I think so) and performance.
My record is having 20 columns and all columns together it will come upto around 200 bytes/record.
What is the maximum no of records that can be stored in a table?
Currently the table is having more than 500,000 records.
Every month, 15,000 new records are added. A new requirement came up now. If that is implemented, no. of records per month will go upto 50,000.
It means the table is getting filled up at more than three times faster every month.
How this will effect my application's performance - Querying / Inserts / Updates ?
Please help me.
thanks and regards.
Pandu

There is no inherent limit to the number of rows in a table, I have several tables with over 20 million rows (and many of these are over 200 bytes per record).
The performance impact of larger tables largely depends on how you access the tables. The size of the table will not really affect Inserts. Updates and Selects will become slower as the table increases, however, the magnitude of the impact will depend on how you access the tables. If most queries/updates go after single rows using a PK, then the impact will be minimal. If most queries/updates affect large numbers of rows using unindexed columns as selection criteria, then the impact is potentially huge.
Depending on the nature of the data, and the way it is used, you may want to investigate partioning as a way of limiting the number of rows that need to be searched for any given query/update. Even with 500,000 rows currently and 50,000 a month coming in, you probably have several months to look at it before anything drastic needs to be done.
Just make sure that you analyze the fast changing tables frequently.
