Documentation
Definition
The initial action is the one within a transaction that records statistical data first. Depending on the component, actions are divided into various action types. This field specifies the description (long text) of the type.
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.
Use
The action type is stored within the DSR as a number. During the initialization of the DSR component for the monitoring systsem, the component must fill a conversion table with texts in english that assign a name and description to each ID. When the data is displayed, the action type number is converted into the corresponding text.
Dependencies
If the conversion table is not filled (for example, due errors during initialization), the display transaction can only display the action type number. You can insert language-dependent texts in a translation table (see SAP Notes).
Example
- The Internet Transaction Server knows only the action type ITS service, as it is not possible to further differentiate the actions here beyond the service.
- The DSR action type can be compared with the Business Transaction Type in ABAP statistics records. Here, there are the types transaction, report , and job.
