Definition

The response time of a dialog step in this case is the length of time from the requesting of the dialog at the dispatcher work process, through the processing of the dialog, to the ending of the dialog in the dispatcher and the transfer of the data to the presentation layer.

Note that the time for the processing of the communication step "Presentation -- Dispatcher -- Presentation" is not included here. In the case of very remote networks or networks with weak performance, this element can lead to significantly longer "subjective" response times.

The response time is usually divided into wait time plus "dispatched" time.

In total, SAP response time consists of the following subcomponents:

Response time = wait time + "dispatched" time

"Dispatched" time =

Generation times during runtime

+ Load times for programs, screens, and CUA interfaces

+ Roll times for rolling-in and -out of data

+ ABAP processing time

+ Database interface time required by the SAP interface from ABAP to the

database and SAP buffers

+ Enqueue time for SAP logical lock processes

The displayed CPU time is also part of the response time, but is not broken down further into subtimes. The CPU time therefore provides an additional, independent piece of information about the response time.
