Empathy is a Must for Machine Learning REPLAY PART 1 |
Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning and Predictive Analytics are at a perfect storm and many companies leverage these technologies to transform their organization. These technologies existed for a decade, but they evolved rapidly – machine learning today is not like machine learning of the past. In these session, we will look into these technologies, understand what SAP is to offer and how SAP customers are using these technologies. |

| 19 Jan (9:30am EST; 3:30pm CET) | Interpreting traces collected with the Single Transaction Analysis tool (ST12) |
[This webinar is hosted by SAP Product Support, continuation of ABAP Troubleshooting call from Dec 5, 2016] The Single Transaction Analysis tool, transaction ST12, allows support professionals to collect both ABAP traces and performance traces with an integrated user interface. It offers different methods for tracing and also allows the recording of traces of ABAP transactions, ABAP reports, Webdynpro pages, BSP pages and background jobs. The traces collected by this tool can be used to investigate code errors and performance problems. This training will show you how to interpret the traces collected with ST12 as well as how to deal with common problems you may see while using ST12. |
Marco Montiero, SAP Senior Support Engineer |
Todays call on interpreting ST12 was very interesting!
This are some keywords I noted down whilst listening to it:
ABAP Trace
- Texts
- Changed on, changed by
- by ModUnit
- bottom-up Call hierarchy for entry
- (+number of calls)
- Type: DB -> Jump to SQL Summary
Performance Traces
-Aggregate:
-- Structure-Identical
-- Value-Identical
-- Table Access
---Component Hierarchy
(ABAP-Trace: Show/hide Application Component)
Thanks Marco for giving us this insights and thanks Jason for making us aware of it here!

Hello Joachim,
I need to use ST12 to optimise performance of a transaction. Do you have an idea if there is a Blog written on this 19th Jan Webinar on St12
Thanks
Smriti
Hi Smriti,
as far as I know there is no blog on the 19th January Webinar, but (as you can see on the other comments) there's one about th Dec. 5th 2016 Webinat on ST12:
https://blogs.sap.com/2016/12/05/sap-mentor-monday-abap-troubleshooting-collecting-abap-traces-and-performance-traces-using-the-single-transaction-analysis-tool-st12/
(Also, the recording is available)
Hope this is of help to you!?
Joachim
Hey Jason,
why didn't the 19-Jan call on ST12 get its own blog entry, like all the other ones?
I think it still makes sense, maybe you can create one?
Such a blog would be the right place for comments like the one above I had to give here. (Also, I would like to comment a link to a recent ST22-Dump-Question I have).
Also, I think you need a place to provide the recording as well?
Thanks a lot!
Joachim
Joachim - I created a blog at https://blogs.sap.com/2016/12/05/sap-mentor-monday-abap-troubleshooting-collecting-abap-traces-and-performance-traces-using-the-single-transaction-analysis-tool-st12/
Is that what you are looking for?
Hi Tammy,
I think not exactly - if I got it right, your blog is a review of the Dec 5th 2016 Community-Call on ST12 ("how to collect traces"), announced at https://blogs.sap.com/2016/11/23/dec-5-sap-community-calls-abap-troubleshooting/ (also linked in the table above).
But there was a follow-up call to that on, on the 19th Jan 2017 ("ST12 - how to interpret traces"). -> this called is featured in the list above, however it doesn't link to a blog post (link goes to a webinar registration). And such a Blog is what I'm looking for!
Still, thanks for you link, didn't know it, and I think it's quite useful!

Joachim
Ah - I didn't know about the January 19th one - it wasn't on my calendar - so I will defer to Jason re: blog. Thank you for clarifying, Joachim
Hi Joachim, and James, sorry for the very late reply! The Jan 19th call was hosted by SAP Product Support. That's why I didn't post a seperate blog for it. I will ask for the recording of the call, and post it above.
Regards,
Jason
Hi Jason,
Thanks for asking for the recording! (I saw it live, but I’m sure others will benefit from it!)
I’m not sure if I got the connection right, though:
Usually, a SAP Mentor is hosting the talk – in that case, you will create a blog for it.
But this time (Jan. 19th), “SAP Product Support” was the host, so you didn’t create a blog for that?
Taking the perspective of a “consumer” of those talks, I would wish that there’s a blog for each talk, regardless of the host.
(That blog would serve – amongst others* – as a platform for comments on that talk).
*Another benefit: A new blog will show up in RSS-Clients, making interested users (that might not check this blog regularly) aware of it.
Hope I’m getting my point across without sounding demanding or anything, really appreciate what you’re doing for us!
Best
Joachim
Hello,
Will a reply be available for the Jan 19 sesssion?
Thanks
Still working on it James. I'm embarassed to say we haven't gotten any response from our Support colleagues.
Hey Jason,
a quick idea: maybe you could re-schedule a similar session (on "Interpreting ST12 traces"), as it was really interesting and helpful for me?! (I'm really happy I got to watch tat session live!)
Maybe this time with a SAP Mentor as a host (as usual), so we wouldn't have to go through the troubles described above?!
Best
Joachim
+1 Joachim - leave it to you to come up with an excellent and totally logical solution! Sometimes an obvious solution is not so easy to see when I'm sitting 'in the box.' I will contact Marco.
Thanks,
Jason
Hi Jason,
any news about this? I would also like to join a second webinar with Marco about analysing the traces. I loved the first part, but missed the second. And it would be quite helpful at the moment.
Thanks & Cheers,
Martin
Thanks for pinging me again, Martin!
How about it Marco Montiero ? Please let me know anytime and we can schedule it.
Thanks,
Jason
Jason Cao any news on the re-run?
Or should we place this topic to rest (would be ok with me, too).
Best
Joachim
I don't think the community will get access to that recording, unfortunately. We're working on a refreshed session for 2018. Thanks!
Hello All, any one can tell me that why there is difference in GL when run by FS10 vs FBL3
Sorry for irrelevant question over this segment.
Hello Joachim,
I need to use ST12 to optimise performance of a transaction. Do you have an idea if there is a Blog written on this 19th Jan Webinar on St12
Thanks
Smriti
Hi Smriti,
(as far as I know) there is non, but hopefully we get a re-schedule of that session (see above: https://blogs.sap.com/2016/12/13/sap-community-calls-list-2017/#comment-395106 )

Joachim
Hello Joachim,
Thanks for reverting. I will patiently wait:)
Best Regards
Smriti
Hello ,
When are we having the next community webinar?:). I check this blog often to see if any new webinar has been posted. SAP is an ocean so there is no dearth of topics.
Perhaps a webinar on ABAP Golden Rules/ ABAP 7.5 features or Fiori elements / CDs...there is simply no end:)
Best Regards
Smriti
Thanks for the suggestions! We'll work on finding experts from our community and scheduling these for 2018.
Jason Cao - is there a list for 2018 somewhere? If not could someone start one please? Thank you!
Thanks for the reminder! We're in the process of publishing the 2018 list.
Quick update - here the 2018 Community Calls list. Note it is created as a wiki page so others can help post updates to the list.
Thanks, Jason. For some reason this link prompts me to "upgrade account" for SCN wiki. Even though I had no trouble accessing other wikis with this same account just the other day... If something changed in the access rules perhaps it'd be better to repost as a blog? I doubt many PID users would love to share their personal information, as required by "upgrade".
Thanks for letting me know Jelena! I'll look into how I can have public view without doing and upgrades or sharing personal info. If this doesn't work, yes, it will be a blog post. 🙂
Wiki access has been fixed. Anyone should be able to view this 2018 Community Calls wiki page without needed to upgrade account: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/x/4KjnH
Nope, same message, sorry Jason. It looks like this wiki page requires a login even to just view it. I opened the link in private mode and it prompts for login. Everyone should be able to view it without logging in (unless they want to contribute something).
Jason, just wanted to confirm that wiki page works now and no longer asks for special login. I'm thinking it needs some prominent display on the SCN homepage though.
Thank you!
Thanks for confirming Jelena Perfiljeva . Great suggestion about making the Community Calls more prominent on the homepage. I will work with our Community team to see what can be done.
Hello,
I have same question as Jelena. I was searching for call list for 2018 but couldn't find any. Please let me know if there is a list already available.
Many thanks
Smriti
Smriti, see Jason's comment above (I'm sure you weren't notified of it).
