Definition

The initial action is that which is created within a transaction as the first statistic.

Use

A main concern of Distributed Statistic Records is to be able to trace transactions over distributed system landscapes and determine the cause of workload or resource bottlenecks in a component. This is done as follows:

In the first component that writes statistics and in which a transaction runs (the initial system), a transaction ID is created. This ID is stored in the statistics main record, and is passed to successor components, in which this transaction runs using the passport. The transaction ID is therefore unique in the statistics records for a transaction beyond component boundaries.

The passport is transferred in SAP Web Application Server 6.20 using the RFC and DIAG communiation paths and contains, for example, information about the initial action and the initial user that started the transaction. Both are retained over the entire transaction. In the initial system, the action and the initial action and the user and the initial user in the first statistics main record for a transaction match those in the associated passport.
