ResponseTime
(RESPONSE_TIME) Average dialog step processing time in milliseconds. This is the total time required for processing a dialog step; it includes the database processing time but not the network transfer time or front-end processing time. AVG float No 6.20 RZ20 (SAP-system-ID\SAP-instance-name\Dialog\ResponseTime)

ResponseTime:StandardTran.
(RESPONSE_TIME_STANDARD_TRAN) Response time of standard transactions in milliseconds AVG float No 6.20 RZ20 (SAP-system-ID\SAP-instance-name\Dialog\ResponseTime(StandardTran))
