Definition

Number of steps in the ABAP system. The exact meaning of a step is dependent on the task type:

DIALOG:    A transaction step corresponds to a screen change, that is, a request that the system executes for a user.

BACKGROUND:    A background job can consist of one or more transaction steps.

UPDATE:    An update request that was started by a call from the dialog or background processing, corresponds to one transaction step, even if multiple updates are processed.

SPOOL:    Multiple print requests are usually processed in one step.

The SAP R/3 kernel generates a statistical entry for each transaction step. You can evaluate these in the business transaction analysis.

Only the task types DIALOG (without RFC, ALE, CPIC), UPDATE, and UPDATE2 can be evaluated in the transaction detail analysis.
