• SAP Tcode: SQLR - SQL Trace Interpreter

  
  Overview:
  SQLR is an SAP transaction code used to interpret SQL trace files. It is used to analyze the performance of SQL statements and identify potential issues. It can be used to identify the most expensive SQL statements, as well as to identify any potential problems with the database or application. 
  
  Functionality: 
  SQLR provides a graphical interface for analyzing SQL trace files. It allows users to view the execution plan of each statement, as well as the time taken for each step in the execution plan. It also provides detailed information about the database objects used in each statement, such as tables, views, and indexes. Additionally, it can be used to identify any potential problems with the database or application, such as missing indexes or inefficient queries. 
  
  Step-by-step How to Use: 
  1. Open the SAP GUI and enter transaction code SQLR. 
  2. Select the trace file you want to analyze and click “Open”. 
  3. Select the “Execution Plan” tab to view the execution plan of each statement in the trace file. 
  4. Select the “Objects” tab to view detailed information about the database objects used in each statement. 
  5. Select the “Statistics” tab to view detailed statistics about each statement in the trace file, such as time taken for each step in the execution plan and total time taken for each statement. 
  6. Select the “Problems” tab to view any potential problems with the database or application, such as missing indexes or inefficient queries. 
  7. Once you have identified any potential issues, you can use this information to optimize your database or application performance. 
  
  Other Recommendations: 
  It is recommended that you use SQLR in conjunction with other SAP tools, such as ST05 (SQL Trace) and ST04 (Database Performance). These tools can provide additional information about your database performance and help you identify any potential issues more quickly and accurately. Additionally, it is recommended that you use SQLR on a regular basis to ensure that your database is running optimally and that any potential issues are identified and addressed quickly.
