- Anonymous
Query element / InfoObject usage report
Extended query statistics includes the information, which query elements were used during the query execution. Query definitions can include multiple elements (e.g. free characteristics, key figures, etc.) that can be used for a further drill down to get more detailed information of the aggregated data. However, most of them are hidden by default and not all of them are used regularly. Using our statistics, you can identify elements that are used most, less or never. Query element can use one or multiple InfoObjects, therefore based on the usage report of query elements, you can also obtain the InfoObject usage. The report enables you to analyze statistics from different perspectives. You are able to group, show/hide desired result fields to get most suitable granularity of statistical data.

Enter transaction /DVD/QS_CONF.
On Query Statistics settings switch on the Displayed query elements, click Save and confirm.
Statistics are collected only, when the query requests data from a database.
