WCL Performance

[Former Member]

Has Anyone had issues with WCL performance. many of my users complain that when they try to access data through WCL its too slow for them and ask us to retire this and come up with a portal kind of a thing.

Any comments will be appriciated

Thanks,

Hi Naveen

Which version of SAP EM are you currently using?

From SCM 5.1 we have SAPs UI technology Web-Dynpro (Java and ABAP) which serves great as Status Portal in Web Application Server (WAS) landscape.

Yes developing a UI with WebDynpro is an option. But that's all development effort. I was looking at standard SAP delivered WCL for better performance. We are running on SAP SCM 5.0

Hello Naveen,

did you run any trace to see what is slow?

Often there is the possibility to optimitze the EM customizing to make queries faster.

Naveen,

A couple of things:

1) Consider the 5.1 Web UI interface - It has the exact same configuration options as the WCL. In fact they both use the same config to enable their reports. SAP is sunsetting the WCL and recommends moving to their standard Web UI interface. No development required if you like the look and feel but it works a lot better. There are only a few minor areas that are only available in the WCL version like favorites.

2) Check to see if the performance is good for queries using /SAPTRX/EH_LIST. You may consider implementing System parameters to speed up the searching of EHs

Thanks

The answers are detailed enough to answer the generic question surrounding performance.

Dear Naveen ,

For Performance issue of WCL we have to consider many points

1. Maintain the user parameter (User master record )"WCLNOCACHING" and mark "X" as paramaeter value.

2. Check the system parameters and compare with the User Input parameters while searching in WCL ..If necessary pl rearrange and MAP the system paramaeters with the user input paramaeters .

3. Table index should be considered ..If you are not sure about the table indexes pl. check with SAP .

4. Ensure that you are maintained archiving jobs (Pl. refer the below link) and necessary SAP EM Background jobs .

5. Please ensure that you have maintained necessary Space in server as suggested by SAP performance parameters .

6. Please trace file in backend SAP EM system while running WCL with the user input paramters and find where exactly ,, its taking too much time and place the index on table if necessary .
