ABAP Performance Tuning

Is your ABAP as good as it can be? With this essential guide, find out how to make it so. You’ll learn about analysis tools and performance-relevant technologies, and discover how you can analyze existing source code and enhance your programming style. It's time to make sure that your ABAP programs are fully optimized.

• Tools for performance analysis: Code Inspector, runtime analysis, performance trace, and more
• Performance aspects in development: SQL queries, internal tables, buffer, data transfer
• Application design: general performance and parallelization

In this book, you'll learn about:
