Documentation

Definition

The wait time of a recorded action is the portion of the server response time during which the request sits in the dispatcher queue and waits until an appropriate work process on the SAP instance becomes available.

Under normal circumstances, a request should be forwarded from the dispatcher to the work process immediately after it enters the dispatcher queue. Then the wait time will be a few milliseconds at most. If the total load on the application server is high, wait situations in the dispatcher queue may arise and lead to a significantly higher wait time. Besides the load on the application server, the number of available work processes in relation to the number of concurrent requests influences the occurrence of wait times.
