Unlocking the Performance Secrets of SAP NetWeaver Environments
Has your organization made significant investments in SAP applications and infrastructure? Are you utilizing SAP
NetWeaver to design and deploy an enterprise service-oreinted architecture (SOA)? Are you integrating SAP and
other 3rd party solutions into that SOA using SAP’s open, collaborative framework of solutions? If you’re running
SAP, chances are you answered ‘yes’ to most or all of these questions. SAP NetWeaver is a powerful web-based,
open integration and application platform that serves as the foundation for enterprise SOA and allows the
integration and alignment of people, information, and business processes across business and technology boundaries.
It utilizes open standards to enable integration with information and applications from almost any source or
technology. SAP NetWeaver is the foundation of SAP xApps and mySAP Business Suite solutions, and also powers
partner solutions and customer custom-built applications.
Putting the Pieces Together; Optimizing Performance in Complex SAP NetWeaver Environments
The introduction of SOA fabrics like NetWeaver for encapsulating business processes and improving agility within
your SAP ecosystem is often seen as a panacea of sorts to address many issues of complexity, heterogeneity and
business/IT alignment. As a result, the secure and efficient processing of mission-critical transactions using
complex, distributed application components and services meshed together across a common communication fabric
becomes a fact of daily life. This in turn substantially increases the demand for consistently high performing,
highly scalable applications.
dynaTrace Diagnostics®has been designed and
implemented as a ‘specialist’ solution in the advanced diagnosis of performance and scalability within complex,
far-reaching service-oriented architectures.
PurePath Technology®: Diagnosis of transactions beyond system boundaries
For the first time it is now possible to clearly reconstruct the SAP transactions that are critical to your
business from the end users’ perspective down to source code level at runtime. With the help of
PurePath Technology®, transactions are followed across system boundaries –
between SAP and non-SAP tiers alike - and the dynamic behavior of your applications is fully captured and
revealed. dynaTrace Diagnostics recognizes heterogeneous Java SE/EE and .NET applications automatically and
instruments important application components from various manufacturers and sources with pre-configured
KnowledgeSensors. Even the data exchange between the client and the server or between several servers and other
technology platforms, local or remote, is possible.
