Table 3 Information displayed in the Overview

Overview areaDescription
Availability

Displays the SAP system’s availability, over the selected time period. System availability is compared to the Availability SLA threshold.

The Availability label functions as a hyperlink, and enables you to launch the Availability tab, in context. This enables you to continue to investigate an Availability problem or to continue to analyze Availability details.

  • Dialog. Dialog transactions (identified by Tcodes)

The Work Load label functions as a hyperlink, and enables you to launch the Activity tab, in context. This enables you to focus on Activities in the monitored site.

Applications

Displays the average response times of SAP module’s transactions. By default this table is sorted by the Response Time (Avg) column, meaning that transactions that have poor response times will be displayed first.

The Applications label functions as a hyperlink, and enables you to launch the Activity tab, in context, with the same list of applications. This enables you to focus on Activities that are related to the application listed in the table by analyzing the response time, in more depth, or to drill down to a specific application.
