SAP Term: SQL Monitor

• Component: BC-ABA

• Component Name: ABAP Runtime Environment

• Description: A tool for tracing SQL statements executed by running ABAP applications. The SQL Monitor trace contains aggregated performance indicators number of executions, execution time, etc. for all executed Open SQL and native SQL statements. In contrast to the standard Performance Trace transaction ST05, the SQL Monitor enables you to perform such traces even over a longer period of time. In addition, you can expand the scope of the analysis to finding system-wide hotspots.
