Abstract: The IBM Insight for SAP® utility program and its subsequent reporting and analysis process provide a convenient, high-level, workload analysis for in-production SAP system landscapes. This service and utility are provided free of charge by IBM America's Advanced Technical Support (ATS) and America's Techline organizations. The Insight Collector is a Windows® executable which communicates with the in-production SAP system. The Collector gathers performance workload and utilization statistics through the SAP Netweaver® RFC interface while having minimal impact on SAP performance. These statistics are then provided to IBM for processing and analysis. The user will very quickly be provided a detailed performance report detailing the workload and utilization of the SAP system. The following Applications are supported by both versions: - Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) - Business Warehouse (BW) - Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) - Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
