SAP Workload

While designing a workload model for performance testing SAP application, it is important to derive details like Concurrent users, frequently used transactions and load distribution across multiple servers etc. These details can be obtained by using STO3N command at different periods of times in prod.

Figure below shows the ST03N transaction report

ST03N

1. ST03N Transaction can help in calculating volume of transactions done after the LoadTest
2. It can help in analyzing workload for different statistics like background jobs,dialog processes etc
3. It can used to identify the number of users working on an application server
4. Analyze the time spent by the transaction across different tiers in the system
5. Load Distribution across multiple servers during the loadtest
