SAP Control Center supports the collection of comprehensive SAP ASE
configuration and environment data for diagnostic analysis. SAP Technical Support uses this
information to diagnose server issues, thus expediting customer cases.
The two types of diagnostic data you can collect are:
- Field diagnostic data – includes configuration and environment
information about SAP ASE at the time it is run. SAP Control Center invokes the
sybdiag utility command to collect the
information.
- Optimizer diagnostic data – provides a way to analyze SQL
queries to optimize their performance. SAP Control Center invokes the sp_opt_querystats system procedure to collect this
information.
You can collect diagnostic data for the Cluster Edition of SAP ASE at
both the cluster and instance levels. For:
- Cluster resource – the local agent that is registered and
authenticated in the agent page is used by to gather diagnostic data.
- Instance resource – the embedded local agent is used to collect
diagnostic data.
