Hi,
Follow the below detials
1)SQLs with Duration in Red.
2)Perform explain plan for the SQLu2019s in question.
3)List the data sorted by table access.
4)List statement summary and identical selects.
5)View the Data Dictionary Information to display the Object DD details.
6)Click on ABAP display to view the ABAP Program
7)Select Trace -> Display Variables to show the Selected SQL statement
with the variable values instead of the variable names
All SQLu2019s with duration higher than 150,000 microseconds.( highlighted in RED ) needs to be analyzed and fixed

What is SQL Trace and How to Use it .

Dear Experts .
1.) May You Please tell me What is the Purpose of SQL-Trace and How to use it ?
2.) What is purpose of T-codes SE30 and ST22 ?
Please it is urgent ...

Hi
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.
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.
STEPS
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.

Hi,
following explanation clearly you abt ST05
Hi,
SQL trace(ST05) provides the developer with the ability to analyse database select statements. Simply execute ST05 to turn on SQL trace, then execute the statement/program you want to analyse. Now turn off SQL trace using ST05
and click on list trace to view the details.
You can also perform traces on other items such as authorisation objects.

Performance Tuning is useful mainly reducing load on database. It is very important aspect while writing the programs/FM etc.....
SQL Trace
Use
The SQL Trace function is an on-demand log of selected SQL statements that are issued against the database through the Open SQL Engine. The SQL Trace can be switched on or off dynamically. The log format is database independent. Besides the SQL statement text, each log record contains information about the point in time when the statement was executed, its duration, its input parameters and results (where applicable) as well as context information.
Features
The SQL Trace is especially useful for:
Development:
SQL Trace can help JDO, enterprise beans, servlet and JSP developers to learn which kind of database accesses their code produces.
 Performance analysis
Typically, performance issues are caused by inefficient database accesses. In this case SQL Trace can be used to show the issued SQL statements and their duration, thus helping to identify inefficient SQL statements.
Functions
The following functions are available on the initial screen:
Select trace:
Select the trace mode SQL Trace, Enqueue Trace, RFC Trace, or Table Buffer Trace. You can select mutliple trace modes simultaneously.
Select trace function:
Start the trace recording.
Stop the trace recording.
Branch to trace list, detailed list, or time-sorted list.
Branch to Explain SQL to analyze an SQL statement without an explicit trace file.
Trace files are managed by the system. Thus they can be saved, like any other object;
saved trace files can be displayed and deleted.
Trace Status
A trace can only be activated once on any application server. The Trace Status display informs you whether another user in the system has already activated a particular trace.
Starting the Trace
Prerequisites
You can only switch on the Performance Trace for a single instance. You should already have decided the scope and targets of your performance analysis.
Procedure
To analyze a trace file, do the following:
... 1. Choose the menu path Test  Performance Trace in the ABAP Workbench.
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.
2. Using the selection buttons provided, set which trace functions you wish to have switched on (SWL trace, enqueue trace, RFC trace, table buffer trace).
3. 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.
4. Now run the program to be analyzed.
You will normally analyze the performance trace file immediately. In this case, it is a good idea to use a separate session to start, stop, and analyze the Performance Trace
If you are shown trace kernel errors on the initial screen (for example, not enough storage space available), you must first remove the errors or have them removed by your system administrator.
The selected trace types can be changed as required during a performance trace interval (time between switching on and off the trace). The user (user group) must remain unchanged.
Result
The results of the trace recording are written to a trace file. If trace records are overwritten during the trace interval, the system displays a message to inform you when you analyze the trace file.
The results of the trace recording are stored to ten trace files. Overwriting trace records, however, cannot be entirely excluded in this case either.
The Performance Trace records all database access calls, table buffer calls, remote calls, or calls for user lock activity. These measurements can affect the performance of the application server where the trace is running. To preserve system performance, you should therefore turn off the trace as soon as you finish recording your application.
Stopping the Trace
Prerequisites
You have started the trace and finished running the program that you want to analyze.
For performance reasons, you should switch off the traces as soon as you have finished recording.
Procedure
To deactivate the trace:
... 1. Choose Test Performance Trace in the ABAP Workbench.
The initial screen of 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.
2. Select the trace functions that you want to switch off.
3. 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-
Result
The results of the trace are stored in one or more trace files. You can then analyze the performance data stored in the trace file. See also, Analyzing Performance Data.

SQL Trace to detect SET NOCOUNT OFF

I have inherited an application that has a 9000+ stored procedures. In a previous upgrade, the publisher added "SET NOCOUNT ON" to many of the procedures, but apparently not all. I am trying to determine which procedures don't have
this and may need to be fixed. Can SQL trace or profiling detect activity from a proc that is running with SET NOCOUNT OFF - ? Or is there another approach to detect this activity?
If this is not the correct forum, please kindly redirect me.
Thanks
tgoddard

So I don't think you could filter the SPs only having NOCOUNT OFF in profiler. Probably what you could do is a combination of the trace and the above query.
First you could use the trace to capture all the activities of the server, and parse all the stored procedure names them using a T-SQL (use the SP_STARTING OR SP_COMPLETED events and the ObjectName in the output columns while starting the trace)
You can later load the trace using the sql statement
SELECT
objectname
FROM fn_trace_gettable('D:\TrC1.trc', 10)
where OBJECTNAME is not null
Now use the above query to filter out the SPs that are having NOCOUNT OFF and join it with the trace output using the object name and you can get the SPs that are getting executed in the system and have NOCOUNT OFF.
Select OBJECT_ID, OBJECT_NAME(object_id) From sys.objects where type= 'P' and object_id not in (
Select object_id From sys.sql_modules where definition like '%SET NOCOUNT%')
Does this help you?

SQL Trace(ST05) and Run Time Analysys(SE30)

Hi ABAP Experts,
Can any one explain what is the use of
1) ST05 and
2) SE30
ponits will be given for clear cut explanation
Thanks and Regards
Vijaya

Hi,
The SQL Trace part of the Performance Trace tool allows you to see how the OPEN SQL statements that you use in ABAP programs are converted to standard SQL statements (see Embedded SQL) and the parameters with which the embedded SQL statements are passed to the database system.
Overview
From the time you turn on the trace function to the time you turn it off again, all database activity occurring either for a specific user or for an entire system is recorded. The SAP System takes OPEN SQL statements and converts them in to embedded SQL statements that it passes to the database and makes the results available. The embedded SQL statement and its parameters are recorded in the SQL Trace file. The results of the SQL statement, like return code, number of entries retrieved, inserted, or deleted by the database are recorded in the SQL Trace file as well. The log file also contains the runtime of the statement and the place in the application program, respectively transaction, from which it was called which enables additional analyses (supported by the SQL Trace function).
From the recorded SQL trace you can deduce:
·        which SQL statements your application carries out
·        which values the system uses for specific database accesses and changes
·        how the system translates ABAP OPEN SQL commands (such as SELECT) into standard SQL commands
·        where your application positions COMMIT statements
·        where your application makes repeated database accesses
·        what database accesses or changes occur in the update section of your application
Create a Trace (SQL Server Profiler)
To create a trace
On the File menu, click New Trace, and connect to an instance of SQL Server.
The Trace Properties dialog box appears.
Note:
The Trace Properties dialog box fails to appear, and the trace begins instead, if Start tracing immediately after making connection is selected. To turn off this setting, on the Tools menu, click Options, and clear the Start tracing immediately after making connection check box.
In the Trace name box, type a name for the trace.
In the Use the template list, select a trace template on which to base the trace, or select Blank if you do not want to use a template.
To save the trace results, do one of the following:
Click Save to file to capture the trace to a file. Specify a value for Set maximum file size. The default value is 5 megabytes (MB).
Optionally, select Enable file rollover to automatically create new files when the maximum file size is reached. You can also optionally select Server processes trace data, which causes the service that is running the trace to process trace data instead of the client application. When the server processes trace data, no events are skipped even under stress conditions, but server performance may be affected.
Click Save to table to capture the trace to a database table.
Optionally, click Set maximum rows, and specify a value.
Caution:
When you do not save the trace results to a file or table, you can view the trace while SQL Server Profiler is open. However, you lose the trace results after you stop the trace and close SQL Server Profiler. To avoid losing the trace results in this way, click Save on the File menu to save the results before you close SQL Server Profiler.
Optionally, select the Enable trace stop time check box, and specify a stop date and time.
To add or remove events, data columns or filters, click the Events Selection tab. For more information, see: How to: Specify Events and Data Columns for a Trace File (SQL Server Profiler)
Click Run to start the trace.
Runtime analysis:
se30 is the tcode for run time analysis, is a tool it
display report based on lps for abap pragram execution
time , data base load, system load. these are all will
display in micro seconds.this tool will use for Transaction
code, function modules , abap progrmes
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.

In SQL Trace how to see which statement getting more time .

Hi Expart,
In SQL Trace (T-code ST05) . I am running the standard transaction . how to see which statement
running more time and less time . suppose one statement running more time so how resolve the
performance .
Plz. reply me
Regards
Razz

> The ones in 'RED' color are the statement which are taking a lot of time and you need to
> optimise the same.
No, that is incorrect, the red ones show only the ones which need several hundret milliseconds in one execution. This can even be correct for hard tasks. And there are lots of problem, which you will not see
I have said everything here:
SQL trace:
/people/siegfried.boes/blog/2007/09/05/the-sql-trace-st05-150-quick-and-easy
Go to 'Tracelist' -> Summarize by SQL statements', this is the view which you want to see!
I summarizes all executions of the same statement.
There are even the checks explained, the slow ones are the one which need a lot of time per record!
See MinTime/Rec > 10.000 microseconds.
Check all number of records, executions, buffer, identicals.
The SE30 Tipps and Tricks will not help much.

Sql trace

Hi All,
I am new to this ABAP field..
I know how to do SQL trace ....But what I am not getting is " HOW CAN WE TELL FROM THE OUTPUT OF SQL TRACE, THAT THIS IS THE CAUSE OF SLOW PERFORMANCE OF A REPORT" Based on what are we determining the performance?
Can Anybody help me here pls?............
Kelly

Hi Kelly,
if you really have no idea, why a report is slow, then you have to start with SE30 (runtime analysis).
There are three bargraphs: ABAP / database / system.
System should be more or less nothing.
If ABAP is bigger than database: have a look at slow abap-statements (normally operations with internal tables: read, delete, loop where,...); classic reason: to much reads without binary search / sorted table / hashed table use.
If database is bigger than ABAP: have a look at your SQL statements. If you can see already forgotten key fields, fine - otherwise SQL trace will bring help in analyzing.
A SQL trace itself says nothing about overall performance (which is done by runtime analysis), only about database part. But 'normally' programmers have their ABAP-part in control and struggle only with slow selects: that's the reason, why often SQL trace is used immediately.
I hope, this brings a little bit light in your question,
regards,
Christian

Analysing details of SQL trace and runtime analysis for a report.

Hi,
I am trying to tune the performance of a Z ABAP report for target group export. A brief overview of what is done in the report is the retrieval of BP details present in the Target group including BP general, address, marketing attributes, person responsible and contact person details. As the target groups can be quite huge (around 6000 BPs), the report gives performance issues. I want to understand on how to analyse the details which I obtained from the run time analysis and SQL trace and on how to take it forward.
Any inputs in this regard would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Anushree

In Runtime analysis Look for
ABAP - In your ABAP code
DATABASE - It shows the performance of your SELECT statements in your program.
Just check how much % it is showing for both.
Check for following in your code.
1) Avoid SELECT *
2) Clear internal tables values which are not required at the ending of program, as it saves memory
etc.

Unable to generate SQL trace file on a 10.2.0.1.0 database

Hello,
I am unable to generate SQL trace files on a 10.2.0.1.0 database (OS is Win2003 server 64 bits).
First I tried the way I used to do it on older databases (8i and 9i) :
execute dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(sid, serial#, true);
I got no error, but no file was created in the user dump dest directory.
Then I've been searching and I've tried other things :
- I changed the user_dump_dest parameter
- I changed the tracefiles_public parameter value to "true", by modifying the init.ora file
- I tried another package :
exec dbms_monitor.session_trace_enable(139)
Nothing worked, I can't create any trace file...
Does anyone have an idea about this issue ?
thank you for you help !
Antoine

Hello,
thank you all for replying.
I have 2 instances on this machine, and I've just realized that with the other one I have no problem to generate sql trace files as usual.
But why the hell is it impossible on the first instance ? What difference between the 2 instances can explain this ?
This is pretty weird...
Otherwise I am experiencing serious performance problems on the instance where I can't creat trace files, there must be something wrong with it, but I can't figure it out

Antoine

Can I set up SQL Trace or Audit to connect to servers

I have a server (2003) with SQL (2005) on it.
If i install MS SQL Management Studio 2012 on my PC, can I audit what SQL on that server is doing by connecting to it from the PC ?
Or would it be better to set up SQL Trace on the server itself ?
Thanks
Pete

So if I install SSMS 2012 on my PC, I can connect to the databases on different servers from 1 place.
Yes, as long as there is network connection. In SSMS open up the Registered Servers window and register all servers:
