Organization of this page

Data source

Each field contains a value obtained from a Performance Management product or monitored program or a value derived by applying a formula. In the tables, the Data source column indicates the source of the value or the formula used to produce the value.

The character string in the Data source column for PFM - Agent for Enterprise Applications indicates the transaction code of the SAP system. It means that the value indicated by the corresponding transaction code is to be obtained. If the value cannot be identified by the transaction code alone, the monitoring tree element (MTE) name is also provided (for example, SAP-system-ID\SAP-instance-name\Background\Utilisation). For details about the MTE name, see the documentation for your SAP system.

Delta

In contrast to the data collected as the cumulative value, the so-called delta is the data that indicates the changed amount. For example, if the performance data value obtained during the first collection is 3 and the performance data value obtained during the second collection is 4, then the cumulative value is 7 and the changed amount is 1. In the tables, the Delta column indicates whether each field's value is a delta value.

The following table explains the delta characteristics of performance data collected by PFM - Agent for Enterprise Applications:
