Hi ,
You can check the ODs activation logs in ODs batch montior >> click on taht job >>> job log
for this first you check in sm37 how many jobs are running if there are many otehr long running jobs then . the ODs activation will happen very slowly as the system is overloaded .. due to the long running jobs ..this causes the poor performance of system ..
for checking the performance of system .. you first check the lock waits in ST04..and check wether they are progressing or nt ..
check sm66 .. for the no of process running on system ..
check st22 >> for short dumps ..
check Os07> to check the cpu idle tiem if its less tehn 20% . then it means the cpu is overlaoded .
check sm21 ...
check the table space avilable in st04..
see if the system is overlaoded then the ODS wont get enough work process to create the backgorund jobs for that like(Bi_BCTL*)..jobs .the updation will happen but very slowly ..
in this case you can kill few long running jobs which are not important .. and kill few ODs activations also ..
Dont run 23 ODs activation all at a time .. run some of them at a time ..
And as for checking the key points for data loading is check st22,cehck job in R/3 , check sm58 for trfc,check sm59 for Rfc connections
