Definition

The ID of a transaction is a Global Unique Identifier (GUID) that allows the consolidation of all statistics records from different components for one transaction during the evaluation. It is therefore a central instrument of the analysis.

Use

A transaction ID is created in the first component that writes statistics records and in which a transaction runs (initial system). This ID is stored in the statistics main record, and passed to succeeding components in which this transaction runs using the passport. The transaction ID is unique within the statistics records for a transaction over component boundaries. The passport is transferred in the SAP Web Application Server 6.20 using the communication paths RFC and DIAG .

Dependencies

The transaction ID is a central part of all DSR components and should be set everywhere.

Example

SAP systems have been using the transaction ID since SAP Basis 4.0B. It is transferred using RFC or the task handler (dialog => update). This is the basis of the Business Transaction Analysis (transaction STAD) that was delivered with SAP Basis 4.5. In this way, with certain Support Packages, you can trace transactions in systems as far back as SAP Basis 4.0B.
