ABAP Testing and Troubleshooting: ABAPRuntime Analysis (SE30) -
How to analyzeABAP program flow
Posted by Olga Dolinskaja11-Dec-2009
The ABAP Runtime Analysis (transaction SE30) is the best
starting point if you want to execute
performance or flow analysis of your ABAP program. Unfortunately
many people use ABAP Runtime
Analysis only to look for performance bottlenecks and don't know
that ABAP Trace is the only tool with
which you can trace the execution flow of an ABAP program at the
statement level. This blog will show
you how to use ABAP Trace of ABAP Runtime Analysis (SE30) to
follow the flow logic of your ABAP
program.
1. Why analyze the flow of an ABAP program?
The ABAP Runtime Analysis (transaction SE30) gives you one tool
for solving two problems. You can measure
performance and find bottlenecks. You can also analyze the
program flow of your ABAP program. In this blog
we will focus on program flow analysis.
Why do you need to analyze the flow of ABAP program? Let me give
you just a couple examples.First, you
may need to find the exact source code location of a particular
ABAP statement (a method call, function
call...) you are interested in. You would then run the ABAP
Trace and afterwards search the required line in
the result list of the ABAP statements. Second, you may want to
compare the flow of your ABAP programin different systems. Imagine,
for example, that your ABAP program runs as expected in the test
system but
shows a completely differently behavior in the production
system, or even worse, aborts with a short dump in
the production system. You could then simply run the ABAP Trace
in both test and production systems and
compare the trace results.
2. How to find exact source code line of an ABAP statement?
Just imagine, you go to the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38), type
"XXX" into the "Program" field, press the
"Display" button and get the error message on the status bar
"Program XXX does not exist". How could you
find out the exact source code line of the ABAP statement that
produced the message?

You could of course start the ABAP Debugger and try to debug in
single step. And then after hours or weeks
of intensive debugging you might be lucky enough to find the
source code line of the ABAP statement. But why
waste time? Here is how to use the ABAP Runtime Analysis to find
this error message in a couple of minutes.
If you press "?" button or click on the status bar near the
error message, you will see the F1 help on the
message, in the performance assistant. This tells informs you
that the number of the error message is DS017.
Therefore you have to look for the "message DS017":

To find the message, first start the ABAP Runtime Analysis and
create a measurement variant.
1. Start the ABAP Runtime Analysis (transaction SE30) via System
-> Utilities -> Runtime Analysis ->
Executeor call the transaction directly with "/nse30".2. Type
"SE38"into "Transaction" field.3. Create a measurement variant for
your user:
Type a name into "Variant" field and press "Create" button
Set aggregation to "None" on the "Duration/Type" tab For memory
usage info check the "With memory use" flag Switch on "Particular
units" on the "Program(Parts)" tab Save your variant

Before we go on, some important notes.
Don't use aggregation if you want to trace ABAP in order to
follow the program logic(what weare doing here). Aggregation
summarizes the trace data for a particular type of event in a
single tracerecord and therefore reduces the number of entries in
the trace file. But to see the complete program
flow you need all trace data.
Try to use "Particular units" where possible in order to reduce
trace file sizeand trace only thecode you really need to see. The
option "Particular units" allows you to switch on/off the ABAP
trace
during the running transaction. The trace will be started as
soon as you enter "/ron" (trace on) in theOK field in your
transaction. With "/roff " the trace is stopped. Alternatively you
can also use the menu
path: System -> Utilities -> Runtime Analysis -> Switch
On / Switch Off.
Let's execute the measurement:
1. Press "Execute" button. Transaction SE38, the ABAP Editor,
starts.
2. Type "XXX" into the "Program" field and turn on the trace
with System -> Utilities -> Runtime Analysis ->Switch
On.
3. Press the "Display" button and turn off the trace with System
-> Utilities -> Runtime Analysis -> Switch
Off.

Step back to the Runtime Analysis and analyze the trace
results:
1. Press the "Evaluate" button.
2. Press the "Call Hierarchy" button and you get a list which
represents the complete path through yourprogram.
3. Search for "message DS017" in the Call Hierarchylist.4.
Double-click on the entry in the Call Hierarchylist to jump to the
source code line, which initiated the
error message.

3. How to trace a long running batch job?
Now imagine the following situation. You are the administrator
of a production system, and you encounter in
the Process Overview (transaction sm50) a batch process, which
already has been running several days and
has been selecting data from a database table. This process is
blocking other background jobs and you have
to find out what this process is actually doing:

You can find this out very easily with the ABAP Runtime
Analysis. You can use the ABAP Runtime Analysis
(SE30) to trace programs which are running in a parallel
session.
1. Ensure that you run SE30 on the same server as the running
process!2. You must create or adjust a trace variant for tracing
the parallel process. Set aggregation to "None"
again to get the Call Hierarchy.3. Press the "Switch On/Off"
button to trace processes running in a parallel session. The
Runtime Analysis
displays a list of the running processes similar to the Process
Overview(transaction sm50).4. Use the "Start measurement/End
measurement" buttons to activate and deactivate trace.
Caution:Deactivate the trace again after short tracing time so
that you do not reach the trace file quota! Before
deactivating the trace, refresh the work process display. The
dialog step that was active in the work process
with the activated trace may have changed, and that deactivates
the trace automatically.

4. How to trace HTTP/RFC requests or processes of other
users?
There are also often situations where you need to trace HTTP or
RFC requests or processes of other users.
Let me give you some examples.
Imagine there is an online flight booking system. If a user
wants to reserve a flight, his HTTP request arrives in
your backend system. And you need to trace the reservation
process which is running in your ABAP backend
system. In such case you don't know which ABAP backend process
handles which HTTP request and have no
idea when the HTTP request will reach your ABAP backend system.
Therefore it is difficult to capture such a
request for debugging in the appropriate ABAP backend
process.

Another good example would be frequent RFC requests which reach
your ABAP system and last only several
hundred milliseconds. It is quite hard to trace such short-lived
requests. Maybe you also have to deal with a
batch job that runs under another user, which always starts at a
different time and aborts sporadically with a
short dump. How can you trace something like this?
The ABAP Runtime Analysis (SE30) provides an answer. It lets you
schedule a trace for any user on the
current server.
1. Start ABAP Runtime Analysis (SE30).
2. Create your trace variant and set aggregation to "None" again
to get the Call Hierarchy.3. Press "For User/Service" button in the
"Schedule" area of the initial screen.4. Press "Schedule
measurement" button on the Overview of Scheduled
Measurementsscreen.
The transaction presents a popup on which you can schedule an
asynchronous trace according to these
criteria:
User Client External session(choose "Any" if you are not sure in
which session the application will run!)
Process Category(dialog, batch, RFC, HTTP, ITS, etc.) Object
Type(transaction, report, function module, any, etc.) Object(e.g.
only transaction se38) Max. No. of sched. Measurements(specify the
maximum number of traces) Expiration Date and Time(specify the time
frame when the trace shall be active)

When the trace is scheduled, the ABAP Runtime Analysis
automatically starts the trace as soon as session
that meets your criteria is started on the system. The user you
have specified logs on to the system and
executes his task, and the ABAP Runtime Analysis starts to write
the trace. The trace results can be analyzed -
as usual - in the ABAP Runtime Analysis (using the "Evaluate"
button on initial screen).

it depends on you're coding if it is good or bad. sometimes 90%
database is good when abap coding is very
lean. when database access is lean 80% abap can be good.
you have to look if customers are happy about the performance
and if they are not then analyze if something
can be changed with for instance se30. in you're case when abap
is 80% it is logic to concentrate in looking at
the coding. and how much time each block consumes.
you get very quick insight in this with se30 or sat and full
aggregation.

Hi,
you can transfer content of debugger variales as import
parameters for functions.
It is possible to save debugger variables as test data for the
SE37 transaction and then debug
the function modules with these test data. Use context menu
(right mouse button) for your
variable in the variable fast display and choose Save Parameters
as Test Data (SE37), execute
debugging of your function module in SE37 and choose test data
from test data directory (Test
Data Directory button) as import parameter for your function
module.
Best Regards,
Olga.

30-Mar-2010 10:01Hi,
in the past I created a debugger script to help myself getting
data out of the debugger for reproducing errors.
Perhaps this can help you, therefore I would like to understand
exactly what you want to do.
So far I understand you want to capture the methods parameter.
Where do you want to use them?
Kind Regards,
Klaus
A. de Smidtin response to Olga Dolinskajaon page 14
30-Mar-2010 05:02hmmm there is not much in you're business card
like an email..
I'm trying to debug some portal issues which work nice until the
point I get methods or impossible functionswhich I can't isolate
and transfer the testdata. normally it was nice if you came inside
a function you couldtransfer all the import parameters to the
function but not with HR_BLP_READ_TIMEDATA
further on I haven't found yet with the new debugger how to
transfer testdata to methods. seems like logic tome that when SAP
wants us to programm OO that we also have the possibilities to
debug it and transfer eventhe more complex testdata from methods to
testdata ?
is it already possible to transfer data from debugging to
methods ??

Hi Purvang,
if a trace file is empty then the trace has not started at all.
You maybe need to check some additional things.
I can give you just some ideas...Before deactivating the trace
in the "Start/end measurement..." view, refreshthe work process
display because the work process with activated trace may have
changed. Consider that

you need to start and stop the trace for each parallel process,

Do you use RFC calls into other systems in your parallel

Just to let you know, we have made some improvements in the new
version of Runtime Analysis (successor
of SE30). The trace files will be written directly to the
database, and you shouldn't have a problem with adisk quota for
your trace files anymore. This feature will be available within SAP
Business Suite based on
Netweaver 7.0 EHP2.
I have also forwarded your wish about the "exclude list" to the
development.
Regards,
Olga.
Sebastian Milliesin response to Olga Dolinskajaon page 16
01-Feb-2010 02:39
thanks, that worked, except I had to talk the administrator of
the server to give me a bigger quota. One idea
for an improvement for the transaction would be the possibility
of local measurement files (i. e. residing on theclient, at least
up and download should be possible).
The reason for the big increase in file size was that some
processes got started asynchronously and the
process I was tracing then did active polling in a loop. I'd
basically like to skip this part of the trace. I think abig
improvement to the transaction would be the possibility of an
exclude list in the "particular units" part of the
variant.

Thank you Olga!
I have been for some time now looking for a more efficient way
to do forensics on programs from the

Often the security audit log is "too late" for successfully
submitted reports and I was "too slow" for STAD to giveme these
details.
In addition to the developer trace, I had not thought of using
SE30's own results yet.

Hi Sebastian,
you could increase your trace file size on the "Duration/Type"
tab in your variant. Better way would be to switch

Hi Sebastian,
Are you sure that the report was executed, e.g. have you seen
the list at the end? If yes, for me it looks like the
trace was notswitched on.
Please make sure that you run your report on the same
application server as SE30. If the report runs correctlywithout
SE30 and without debugger, please try again to run the measurement
with SE30 and explicitly switch
on/off it by choosing "Particular units" option in your variant
and using "/ron" "/roff" commands as described inthe blog.
Best Regards,
Olga.

Hi there,
thanks for the nice blog. I've run into a problem, though:
I've created a variant for a report of mine exactly as
described. The report is started using a variant. The report,when
debugged, makes a couple of PERFORMS and a method call during
START-OF-SELECTION. It then
starts a couple of jobs in the background (which I don't expect
to be measured) and displays a list at the end.
However, the call hierarchy does not reflect any of this.
Instead, it contains only one line saying "Runtimeanalysis" for
"CL_ABAP_TRACE_SWITCH==========CP". The measurement file has only 5
KB. Any idea
what might be going wrong?

Hi Olga,
I would check the timing of user mapping and try tracing with
the suggested settings. Interestingly, ST12
worked! I had put following setting in ST12-
Trace For- User
User name- 000984
Task Type- H HTTP (HTTP request/BSP)
Thanks for the guidance.

Olga Dolinskajain response to Silvia Giussanion page 18

Hi Silvia,
the SE30 allows you to examine the runtime of any ABAP programs,
such as reports, subroutines, function
modules or classes, that you create in the ABAP Workbench.
I am not sure which type of BW applications you want to measure,
but actually it should work the same way forBW ABAP applications as
described in the blog.
Best Regards,
Olga.
Silvia Giussani
21-Jan-2010 04:05
Hi Olga....your instructions on ABAP debug is really good. I
would like to use it with BW ABAP code (Start/End
Routines,etc). How should I use it? Is there any change to
apply?
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Silvia
Olga Dolinskajain response to Abhijeet Kulkarnion page 19
21-Jan-2010 03:32
Hi Abhijeet,
your measurement settings look ok so far.
Please verify that user mapping (on the other user) does not
take place during execution of your BSP before
calling HAP_DOCUMENT. Otherwise schedule measurement for e.g.
"any" user. Please also verify that BSPrequest really arrives on
the same application server of your ABAP backend system, where you
scheduled your
measurement in the SE30.
For more details on measurement settings please take a look at
the Runtime Analysis Docu on SAP HelpPortal:

Many thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Hi Olga,
It was really useful. While we regularly used to test the
t-codes, programs and FMs, we never explored the
parallel session and user/service options. This would certainly
help us reach the root of the problem evenfaster. However, I was
unable to trace a BSP application. I gave these settings from user
001671 for another
user (These were visible as on 21.01.2010)-
Measur. ID 4
User 000984
Sessn Any
ProcessCat Any
ObjectType
Object Name HAP_DOCUMENT
Scheduled 1
Started 0
Errors 0
Status Executed
Exp. Date 20.01.2010
Expir.Time 12:02:42
After setting this up, I used the BSP application HAP_DOCUMENT.
No trace was generated.
Please suggest the correct settings,or if you know any document
that can help. Thanks.
-Abhijeet.

Even better, just keep a break-point on Statment "Message" ,
it'll be seconds before you reach the desiredstatement.
This is how i teach the functional consultants in our team, cos
just /H & they are on their way... while SE30 &

I found one minor error:
'Search for "message DS017" in the Call Hierarchy list' won't
find it. As your picture shows, the code line is
"Message S017" - not "DS017". Same for all messages: Snnn, Ennn,

of the course COMP267 given by Boris Gebhardt on debugging at

Another tool that is very useful togather information about the
programflow is the "Single TransactionAnalysis" (ST12)
This toool has some features that go beyond SE30 e. g. the
bottom-up analysis of an ABAP trace that displaysthe hierarchie of
the callers in a quite comfortable and inuitive way.

in the example with a message you could indeed set a watchpoint
on a variable SY-MSGNO and
debugger would stop as soon as it changes. But it works only if
you know that message number
is stored in the SY-MSGNO. If you dont know it you cannot work
with a watchpoint. The ABAP
Trace makes sense if you are not familiar with the code and
variables and need quickly to analyze
its behavior.
Best Regards,Olga.

But I do want to comment that for finding from where the message
was issued for SE38, we could still use
"watch-points", which is equally quicker and cheaper(in terms of
effort).
I appreciate your effort ...
