SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Identify performance hotspots from an existing SAP trace and map them to ABAP anti-patterns for targeted fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Normalize traces from ST05 or SAT into a ranked hotspot list and map each hotspot to a known ABAP performance pattern.
  • Propose concrete fixes calibrated to the object's volume band and produce a JSON payload for automation.
  • Support both offline (--import) and GUI-export (--source st05|sat) workflows for common tracing scenarios.

Quick Start

Run /sap-trace with a pre-exported trace file or an active SAP GUI session to rank hotspots.

Frequently Asked Questions about sap-trace

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify performance hotspots in an SAP trace?▼

To identify SAP trace performance hotspots, you import an offline trace file or connect an active SAP GUI session to normalize ST05 or SAT data and rank the most expensive operations.

How do I map SAP ST05 trace data to ABAP anti-patterns for fixes?▼

Mapping ST05 trace data to ABAP anti-patterns requires a rules map that translates trace signals into actionable guidance, ranking hotspots and proposing fixes calibrated to object volume bands.

Can I analyze live SAT traces directly from an active SAP GUI session?▼

Yes, you can analyze live SAT traces using the source flag with an active SAP GUI session, allowing the tool to export and normalize performance data directly for immediate hotspot ranking.

What is the best way to automate ABAP performance fixes from trace analysis?▼

Automating ABAP performance fixes involves ranking trace hotspots, mapping them to known anti-patterns, and producing a JSON payload containing concrete fix proposals for downstream automation systems.

Do I need a local trace file to analyze SAP performance if I lack GUI scripting access?▼

If you lack GUI scripting access, you need a pre-exported local trace file to use the import workflow, which normalizes offline trace data and ranks hotspots without an active SAP GUI session.
