New Facebook Page called SapPerformanceExpert

2015-07-28T02:59:00.001-07:00

Hi all,

This morning I just created a new Facebook Page dedicated to my Favorite Activity : Watch, Detect, Optimize Performance of SAP Systems !

Here is the link : https://www.facebook.com/SapPerformanceExpert

Feel free to Like it and you will be able to get the updates as they come along the way ...

One of my first Post on the page:

"My Favorites SAP Standard Transactions to Watch the System's State of Health, Detect and Analyse any Performance Problem are ....

SM66 : Watch all Application Servers Work Processes, Live

ST04 / DBACOCKPIT: Find the Matching SQL Queries to long Work Processes, See its Execution Plan, Determine what's taking time; Directly find the ABAP Code responsible for the Performance Issue
Analyse Costly Statements (Buffer Gets, Disk Reads, Elapsed Time), work on the worst ones to lower their load on the Database

SM04 : Using its Memory View, Watch detailed (per user and /or per mode) Memory Usage (Roll, Paging, Extended, Heap)

ST12 : Trace

ST02 : Application Server Memory / Buffers

ST03 : Response Time of Transactions

ST22 : Dumps

and more ...

With these above, you can already do a lot, and probably Solve most Problems"

SAP Live Monitor - Demo Documentation available

2014-05-15T08:06:00.001-07:00

The Demo Documentation I have been working on this week is now available on request. Go to the Download Link to the right or click the DEMO picture

LOAD Simulation Program written

2014-05-12T03:41:00.001-07:00

The Load can now be simulated now on the SAP Demo system:

- Dialog WP

- Background WP

- DB Sessions

- CPU

- Memory

- Enqueue

To try out the Main Monitor and all the other Performance Monitors, a transaction will be launched to create system activity just before

Main Monitor

Focus on CPU & Memory

Memory Monitor

CPU, DB, Memory, Enqueue Load Jobs and several Work Processes and Sessions Randomly

2014-02-08T04:23:00.001-08:00

Now that a DEMO user is available, I am creating an ABAP program to Simulate some Load on the SAP system

It will generate some CPU, DB, Enqueue, Memory activity, randomly on several WP and DB Sessions, plus schedule jobs .... trying to recreate an normal system activity ...

Stay tuned ...

SAP Live Monitor at GDF SUEZ during the first days after Major Upgrade last summer

2013-12-21T04:30:00.000-08:00

Last summer at GDF SUEZ there has been a Major ISU and CRM Upgrade, combined with an Architecture Change, and during the Testing Phase, Launch and Run, my SAP Live Monitor has been used a lot ...

Here is a picture taken in the "War Room" right after the Go Live while we were experiencing Load with our call centers 3,500 online users ramping up slowly to reach the peak at the end of the first morning

My SAP Live Monitor was projected on the wall for everybody to see the impact of the users on the Application Servers Work Processes, CPU & Memory

The Satisfaction of having programmed a useful tool is priceless :-)

- Nicolas MAILLARD , a very good high level SAP System Administrator, Oracle RAC specialist
- Abdel SIDHOM , SAP IT Performance Team manager at GDF SUEZ, also brilliant guy, check out his website: STechno.net (formerly SAPTEchno.net); I learned a lot working closely with him for more than 3 years

SAP Live Monitor - Lastest Version & SAP Demo System

2013-07-18T09:26:00.001-07:00

Here is a short video of the latest version of my SAP Live Monitor

Soon an online SAP Demo System should be available for you to test all the monitors ... Stay tuned

SAP Live Monitor - Oracle RAC now available

2013-06-28T09:43:00.001-07:00

New : Oracle RAC (Real Application Cluster) is now available on my SAP Live Monitor

Below, for each SAP system, see the blue bars showing live sessions, and the CPU for each RAC node

Update July 18th, 2013:
Here is a short video of the latest version of my SAP Live Monitor
Soon an online SAP Demo System should be available for you to test all the monitors ... Stay tuned

SAP Live Monitor - New Memory Monitor

2013-04-16T01:15:00.001-07:00

I am happy to announce a new monitor called Memory Monitor showing real time memory for each application server of a SAP system or several

On the right side of the SAP Live Monitor below, you can see a summarized version of it, with 4 percentages for the Roll, Paging, Extended and Heap Memories for each line / AS

Here everything is green, but once the memory percentages go beyond certain thresholds, they will appear in Orange and then Red - threshold values are settable in the selection screen -

(Image blurred to hide customer data)

Clicking on any memory value will display the detailed Memory Monitor showing, for each application server of the selected system, detailed values for each type of memory:
- Roll Memory
- Paging Memory
- Extended Memory
- Heap Memory
Here also the figures go Orange then Red if any threshold is reached,a dn the whole thing is automatically refresh every second (settable)

(Image blurred to hide customer data)

Also, for each memory type, if requested, you can see the detail of each user's use of this memory, the running program/job and the table queried - if any -.

(Image blurred to hide customer data)

From there, clicking on this table, you can acces the history data of this SQL query and its Explain Plan, etc

SAP Live Monitor - Extended Version & Other Root Cause Analysis Tools

2013-02-06T12:59:00.001-08:00

As promised, here is an extended version of my SAP Monitoring Tool, SAP Live Monitor, developed in ABAP from ground up

(All images and videos are blurred to hide customer data)

Here are some screenshots from the above videos with a quick description / explanation so you can have an overview in one minute of the monitoring and diagnosys tools I developed

Work Processes & Database Sessions Merged in to one live auto-refreshed Monitor (SM66 + ST04 with more valuable info)

Middle Bdocs Distribution Report : See who/what generated what Bdocs in volume over time

Main Global Live SAP ISU & CRM Monitor : From this one, you can access all the others

WP & Sessions

Middleware Queues Live Monitor

Factsheet Repsonse Time Distribution (different levels of time, auto-refresh enabled)

WP & Sessions : The two red lines on the right show that this SQL query - executed right now - does not behave as usual and has deltas in Buffer Gets or Elapsed - delta concept -

Main Live SAP Monitor: you can click on almost anything to geta detailed view of what is going on and get to the root of a problem quickly

Jobs Analysis over time: Here one job has been selected - clicked on - in the Main Monitor above and this displays its history and duration in a bar graph

Clicking on any Hasvalue/SQLid will bring you to the Standard SQL EXPLAIN PLAN transaction

for further analysis on the table statistics / indexs used

Active Jobs Monitor: All the Running jobs + Aborted one ('A' red flag) + Finished ones ('F' green flag)
If a job's duration is abnormal, you are warned by a orange then '!' flag and if you pass your mouse over it, it tells you how long it lasted a week ago

I receive Alerts, based on thresholds defined for each monitored object (WP, Bdocs flow, DB CPU, SQL Queries Delta, etc); If something goes wrong on these two ISU and CRM systems, I know about within one or two minutes only, as one or more emails arrived on my iPhone inbox with detailled graph screenshot telling exactly what the problem is, and this is 24/7

Database (DB) CPU Alert

SQL Queries Delta Alert

Dialog Work Processes Alert

SAP Real Time Monitor

2012-05-03T08:17:00.000-07:00

This is the Monitor I developped in ABAP from ground up

(image blurred to hide customer data)

Global Monitoring of SAP ISU & CRM Productions systems

Detailed description of this Live Monitor:

- Work Process of all Appplication Servers (Dialog & Batch separatly) (red bars)
- CPU of all Appplication Servers (yellow/orange bars) with Global Instance Name (Virtualized Solaris)
- Oracle Database Sessions (blue bars) & CPU (yellow/orange bars)
- Middleware Queues (Inbound & Outbound) and their status
- CRM Bdocs throughput
- CRM average Factsheet / CIC0 display time
- Locks entries
- Active / Running Jobs with a Warning if their duration exceeds their average duration time

All these data / graphs are refreshed every 3 seconds automatically so that you can supervize what is going on both ISU & CRM SAP Production Systems, allowing you to follow production activity "Live" and anticipate any incident

(image blurred to hide customer data)

A longer, commented, and more in depth video of the monitor is coming soon; You will then be able to see all the interactions possible from the Monitor to detect and analyse any problem on the monitored systems, including alerts received by email (iPhone version too); Stay tuned ...
