About the Response time report
Report Manager only generates the Response Time report for SAP Tier (client-side technologies). This report provides information about the response times of your system.
For the SAP Tier, the graph displays for each response time the percentage of SAP transactions accordingly that have a lower response time than a maximum value specified in the report properties - Response time report (general tab).
About the Response time report structure
The Response Time report structure consists of the following sections:
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The summary section provides the number of instances included in the report.
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Report Manager generates a Response Time Distribution graph for each instance running in the Tier. The graph displays a bar for each response time step. Each bar indicates the cumulative percentage and the actual number of executions (SAP transactions in the SAP Tier) that their response time is less or equal to the response time step.
Executions of which the response time is greater than the specified maximal value, are not included in the graph, and therefore the percentage of the total executions may not add up to 100 percent.
About Response time report properties
The Properties dialog box contains three tabs in which you can set the Response Time report properties:
- Setting Response time report properties - general tab
- Setting Response time report properties - time frame

About the Schema Changes report
Report Manager only generates the Schema Changes report for Oracle and SQL Server Tiers (database technologies). This report displays a chronological log of all changes in the database schema and definition in a tabular format. You can use this report to identify the relations between changes in the database schema and definition to trends in database performance.
To generate this report, Report Manager compares the status of the database at two points in time. Therefore, changes made after the first point in time of which the effect does not remain till the second point in time, will not be shown in the report. For example, a table that was created after the first point in time but was dropped before the second point in time will not appear in the report.
About the Schema Changes report structure
The Schema Changes report structure consists of the following sections:
| Info |
|---|
...
For the SQL Server Tier, the report only displays the schema changes. The database definition changes are displayed in a separate report named Database Definition Changes. |
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The summary section provides the total number of changes detected in the report period.
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
For the Oracle Tier, the Database Definition Changes Table is part of the Schema Changes report, and the report displays a table for each instance.
For the SQL Server Tier, the Database Definition Changes Table is displayed in a separate report named Database Definition Changes, and the report displays a table for each instance and database.

The Exception reports set includes reports that have similar structure and properties (standard reports) described in the following topics:
In addition, the Exception reports set includes a report named Unused objects report that has different structure and properties.
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The standard Exception report consists of the following sections:
- About the Exception report – - opening page
- About the Exception report - summary heat matrix
- About the Exception report - entity heat matrix
- About the Exception report - new entities table
- About the Exception report - entity mapping table
- About the Exception report - summary table and overtime graphs
An instance for a standard Exception report displays the following tables:
...
- Exception Summary Table
- Overtime Behavior Graphs
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The opening page of the Exception report is similar to all the pre-defined reports except that the summary section provides information related to the specific report as follows:
- Number of entities that met the exception criteria, with their mean deviation and maximal deviation from the baseline.
- Total number of exceptions and their distribution among the various counters.
- Number of new entities within the Tier. A new entity means that the Performance Management Database did not yet calculate a baseline for the entity.
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The Summary Heat Matrix indicates, in a tabular format, the top instances with the most severe exceptions for each of the reported counters. It summarizes the number of deviating entities that are detected and their severity level.
...
In Instance-level reports, the Summary Heat Matrix displays a single row that indicates the average deviation severity and exceptions number in the entire Tier. (This also applies if you chose the Same entity option for the Consider Identically Named Entities in Different Instances property in the Standard exception report - general tab.)
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The Entity Heat Matrix page indicates, in a tabular format, the most problematic entities that have the most significant deviations. Each row in the Entity Heat Matrix represents a different entity. Each column represents a different counter. The cell color indicates the severity of the counter deviation from its normal behavior (baseline). The entity name is a link to the Entity Overtime Behavior graphs.
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The New Entities Table lists new entities in the current instance (or Tier in Instance-level reports), which met the report filtering criteria of the minimal consumption amount. Entities are considered new if the Performance Management Database did not calculate a baseline for the entity yet.
For each new entity the table displays its total time value and the percentage that its total time occupies from the entire instance consumption (or Tier consumption in case of Instance-level reports).
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The Entity Mapping Table is displayed in reports whose entity names are too long to display in the detailed information pages. Report Manager only generates the Entity Mapping Table for Statements reports, such as the Oracle or SQL Server Exception Report - Statements and the Oracle or SQL Server Exception Report - Ad-hoc Batches.
...
This page contains a launching link to the related Precise or Insight product. You can click the launching link for further investigation in context of the displayed entity. In addition, if the entity name is too long, such as in the Statements report, a link to the Statement Text (Mapping Table) is available.
