Trace Analysis

Where can I obtain the details and "interpretations" of a trace, i.e., what does ringmode=1 mean?; what does CallState=1 mean? Where can I get whatever all the trace headings, messages, etc.??????? If anything, we don't have any CCM plugins, and we don't have Trace Analysis tool configured nor installed on our cluster. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Though a little old now, there is a book out there written by Paul Giralt which talks in detail about CCM traces. Its titled "Troubleshooting Cisco IP Telephony." This covers CCM 4.x, but the basics of traces haven't changed much since then... just won't include a lot of the newer 5.x and later features. Will do a good job of covering media and call flow however.
ISBN-10: 1587050757
ISBN-13: 978-1587050756
I have been in TAC supporting CUCM for more than 5 years and I still refer to Paul's book from time to time.

Urgent : How to do the SQL trace analysis

Hi Floks,
How to do the SQL Trace analysis and any another tools is there to test abap programming then this tools runtime analysis,extended Programming Checking,Code inspector .How to utilize that tools .please forward me
thanks
suresh

HI,
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.
1. 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.
Activities
Typically, you should use the SQL Trace when you need to check the behavior of a particular application. This is the following scenario:
Look at the below links, you will get the idea

Performance Tunned Trace/ Analysis tool

Hi,
I am seraching for any tool / utility provided by SAP in the ABAP Development workbench to trace/analyse the perofrmace of DB Accesses , Internal table operations in programs so I could analyse the inefficient ABAP code and could replace the same with efficient.
thanks and regards,
Avakash.

Hi Avakash,
Check this info.
You can use ST05 to find the performance of each select.
u can use SE30 - runtime analysis to find which part of your code is taking more time.
using ST05:
activate the trace --> execute the program --> deactivate the trace --> display trace.
then go to Trace list --> Summarize trace by SQL statements.
here u can analyze performance of all the selects.
If you want to compare the duration by the selects in your program itself then use: GET RUNTIME statement.
Hope this resolves your query.
Reward all the helpful answers.
Regards

E2E trace analysis in Solman

Dear all,
I have some question about the E2E trace analysis on solman. Hope you can help me!~
1. We are using Solman 7.1 SP6 and we will upgrade to SP10 or SP11 in recent months. We want to use solman RCA trace analysis to trace ERP ABAP program. Could anyone can told me how to do this? I can do the HTTP trace in solman with RCA trace analysis but I don't know whether we can also nalysis the ABAP trace in solman.
2. We have many printers in our PRD systems and all printers connected to a SPRINTER server. Now we need some suggestion on how we can monitoring these printers with solman. Also we hope to use the RCA tools to nalaysis the problem on printer such as the printer are offline/dead halt/printing very slowly and so on.
Is this possible?

Hi Yushuai,
1. Using E2E in SolMan you can capture the movement of request and response to any JAVA and ABAP system. It will show you that what ABAP program has been called but It will not tell you what happening inside ABAP program.
Regards,
Ravi Maheshwari

SMD E2E Trace analysis - Urgent!!

Hi,
I have configured Root cause analysis for r/3 system. Everything is working but unable to enable the system in Trace analysis. Its says, Trace status could not be evalutated.
The system meets all the prerequisites in note 1061383 and Exeption,Configuration analysis are working fine for it.
Please help

Make sure your RFC destinations in java in monitored system to the SLD are working correctly, ie VA > Server > Services > SLD Data Supplier.
Do a "trigger" to make sure you can pass info to the SLD.

CallManager Trace Analysis Application

If its helpful to anyone I created an application to analyze a Text based trace log within CallManager. You can see a few screenshots and download the application for free at http://www.aaronsoftware.com/products/win/TraceTextParser/default.asp
I found the application to be very helpful while analyzing the call processing and havent seen anything else like it. Currently other Telco professional use NotePad to search for dd=. Within this application you can search for dd, cn, ip, device and many other fields. I would appreciate any feedback to enhance the application.

hi,
value fields are defined in KEA6. Also goto SPRO IMG, Controlling / Profitability analysis for the whole COPA customizing in R/3
I don't know about a "mater data" table neither texts for value fields. Texts are maintained in their Data Element (RKE_VV215 for instance).
You can get the texts by creating a view on DD03L and DD04T
Join
DD04T     ROLLNAME     =     DD03L     ROLLNAME
DD04T     AS4LOCAL     =     DD03L     AS4LOCAL
Fields:
FIELDNAME
DDLANGUAGE
SCRTEXT_S
SCRTEXT_M
SCRTEXT_L
Selections:
DD03L     FIELDNAME     LIKE     '%VV%'     AND
DD03L     TABNAME          EQ     'CE11000'
hope this helps...

Trouble with Formula Engine vs Storage Engine (xEvent Trace Analysis)

xEvents Trace Query Analysis (Formula Engine vs Storage Engine)
Got a poorly performing query (relatively speaking) and looking for ways to improve the performance. My first step was to run an xEvents trace to figure out if the bottleneck is in the Formula Engine (FE) or Storage Engine (SE). So I kicked off a trace capturing
the following events:
QueryEnd - single event providing the total duration of the query
QuerySubcube - 1 event per storage engine request
Next, I cleared the cache and executed the query. Once the query completed (~28sec later) I stopped the trace and ran a XML-shredding query like the one below:
I copied the results to an excel workbook and sum'd the duration column for all "QuerySubcube" events and the total duration was ~42sec (or 42113ms). This number represents (typically) the total duration spent in the storage engine. You can subtract
it from the duration of the single "QueryEnd" event and back into the amount of time spent in the formula engine.
However, the duration for the single "QueryEnd" event was ~24sec (or 24128ms)...
Total Query Duration (24sec) - StorageEngineDuration (42sec) = FormulaEngineDuration (-18sec)
FWIW, this is a beast of a query (~1500 lines)
Has anyone seen this before?

Hi Richard - that definitely sounds right and now it makes more sense seeing as the query is hitting several different measure groups. Thanks for getting me back on the right path ;-)

ThreadDumpScan tool for garbage collector trace analysis

Hello,
I would like to use the non official SAP tool ThreadDumpScan in order to have these nice graphs concerning the garbage collection.
I have downloaded the std_server0.out from my server, where I can find my GC activity, for instance :
<GC(1): Bytes Traced =0 (Foreground: 0+ Background: 0) State = 3 >
>> 2 modes = 2,0 (0) free After GC (reg,wild):1414879256,644244672
<GC(1): GC cycle started Wed Apr 18 01:53:12 2007
<GC(1): heap layout: (1464142288/1503237440) (644244672/644244672) /0>
<GC(1): freed 49263032 bytes, 98% free (2108386960/2147482112), in 194 ms>
<GC(1): mark: 171 ms, sweep: 23 ms, compact: 0 ms>
<GC(1): In mark: root scan 150 ms>
<GC(1): refs: soft 260 (age >= 0), weak 0, final 385, phantom 0>
<AF[1]: completed in 214 ms>
But the thing is that when I run the command "DumpScan.bat std_server0.out", I get the following error :
no -verbose:gc output found
On a former project, it was working properly, so I do not know why I get this error. The std_server0.out seems fine. I have gone through all the documentation provided with the tool but nothing in there, and the available documentation on this tool is very poor on sdn. Does anyone know what could be the problem ?
Thanks for your help,
Best regards,
Guislain

Guislain Libessart,
Did you ever get this tool working? I am having the same issue.

Analysis Trace -- HTTP Plugin for Internet Explorer 8

Hello,
We have configured E2E Root Cause Analysis, and we are trying to use "Trace Analysis".
We have download HTTP Plugin that is attach in Note 1041556, but in this note we have found that this plugin is for IE 6 and IE 7, and in our customer we have IE 8.
Do you know if we can use this HTTP Plugin with this version of IE? Is there any specific plugin?
Many thanks in advance,
Esther

As I was searching for an answer on this question here, I got a reply back from my message to SAP on this topic(I'm not the original poster of this question).
SAP support told me that they do not support IE8 with the SAPClient plugin for the present moment and could not tell me when a future version was planned with support for IE8.
I wanted to share this with everyone here, as I know it will be common question in the future.
Take care,
Stephen

Performing E2ETrace Analysis unuseable in Citrix-Server-Environment?

Hallo,
Since SAP CLient Plug-In 1.11 for E2E Trace Analysis, we get the error "ERROR: Found running application instance(s): please close the open application instance" if IE8 sessions are startet before launching the plugin.
so, executing the E2E -Trace analysis on CITRIX-Server with the Plugin seems to be unusable, because a lot of user might logged into CITRIX Server and performing IE8-Sessions?
are there any suggestions?
Thank you very much
With kind regards
W.Grumptmann

Dear Guilherme Balbinot,
Thank you for your answer.
yes, i read this note and i used the latest plugin attached to this note.
They wrote: "Terminal services environments such as WTS and Citrix are not explicitly tested".
You have to stop existing IE-Sessions. also in Citrix-environment.
so you can not use it in Citrix Environment where a lot of user are performing IE-Sessions.
With kind regards.
W.Grumptmann

SQL Trace transaction ST05
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.
Starting the Trace:
To analyze a trace file, do the following:
Choose the menu path Test  Performance Trace in the ABAP Workbench or go to 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 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.
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.
RFC Trace Analysis
Use
Using the RFC trace, you can track which remote calls of your application, or the SAP System are executed and on which instance these calls are executed. You can display and analyze the logged trace records in the trace file.

Disabling Web Server HTTP Trace/Track Method

How is it possible to disable the Web Server HTTP Trace/Track Method under SJS 7.x?
As per out internal Qualys Scan report:
A Web server was detected that supports the HTTP TRACE method. This method allows debugging and connection trace analysis for connections from the client to the Web server. Per the HTTP specification, when this method is used, the Web server echoes back the information sent to it by the client unmodified and unfiltered. Microsoft IIS web server uses an alias TRACK for this method, and is functionally the same.
A vulnerability related to this method was discovered. A malicious, active component in a Web page can send Trace requests to a Web server that supports this Trace method. Usually, browser security disallows access to Web sites outside of the present site's domain. Although unlikely and difficult to achieve, it's possible, in the presence of other browser vulnerabilities, for the active HTML content to make external requests to arbitrary Web servers beyond the hosting Web server. Since the chosen Web server then echoes back the client request unfiltered, the response also includes cookie-based or Web-based (if logged on) authentication credentials that the browser automatically sent to the specified Web application on the specified Web server.

Details missing in default trace file of XI

Hi Experts,
I am doing RFC to RFC scenario. I am getting checkered flag in SXMB_MONI. But for some reason i am not getting the details of my scenario in the default trace of XI. I'm not sure if the detiails of scenarios involving RFC's will be updated in the trace files. If yes, please help me in finding the reasons as to why it is not heppening in my case.
Thanks and Regards,
Hari.

Hi,
Increase your logging/ Tracing levels in the Integration engine configuration to see the synchronous message in the SXMB_MONI.
1.Execute SXMB_ADM in the ABAP stack of XI
2.Navigate to Configuration --> Integration Engine Configuration --> Change Specific Configuration Data
Set the following:
Category : Runtime
Parameter : LOGGING_SYNC
value : 1 (activated)
Parameter : TRACE_LEVEL 3
value : 3 (activated)
For information on how to activate and deactivate traces, see the following SAP Note: 532918 (RFC Trace Generation)
