Web Dynpro ABAP - Table Scroll Performance

Former Member

Hi,

In the standard ESS Timesheet application, we have created a custom pop-up screen to select the cost assignment for the time entry. The pop-up screen is a search help developed by implementing the IWD_VALUE_HELP interface and is a complex screen with multiple view containers/views and multiple tables and tabs.

In the pop-up screen, the default number of visible rows in the table is set to 5 and the user needs to scroll if there are too many entries. The performance during scrolling is very bad and takes about 4-5 seconds for each scroll. All the traces in the backend show that there is hardly any processing being done that would take so much time. HTTPWatch trace shows 0.4 seconds response time, so I'm wondering why is the browser taking 4-5 seconds to load. Is it because the timesheet page itself is complex and since the pop-up screen is also heavy, the browser takes so much time to lay out the whole page for every scroll?

Any other ideas?

Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Manish

I have noticed that pagination is relatively faster when compared to scrolling. Try making the same performance measurements by removing the scrollbar (by changing the setting in the WD application parameters) and introducing pagination instead.
