Definition

This field specifies the network time of a request for a component. The time is specified in milliseconds.

Use

This field has the following meanings, depending on whether statistics records from ABAP systems or Distributed Statistics Records (DSR) are being monitored:

DSR: The network time is the time for the transfer of a request from the frontend or another external component to the component that DSR is monitoring. The network time is specified in milliseconds and stored in the statistics main record.

ABAP: The frontend-network time is calculated from the difference between the response time measured at the frontend and the response time measured at the application server. It consists of the following parts:

  • The time for the first data transfer from frontend to application server
  • The time for the last data transfer from application server to frontend
  • The time after the last data transfer that is used at the frontend for data and screen preparation

Dependencies

The system can only determine network time if the external component sends a send timestamp or a call time with the call to the DSR component.

Example

The Internet Transaction Server measures the time that is required to send the response back to the WGate.

The frontend network time from SAP R/3 is comparable to the DSR network time; however, the frontend network time still contains the time for preparing the user interface at the frontend.
