Introduction

Along the ICM runtime, ICM does trigger a lot of queries to fulfill tasks. Sometimes queries will be slow and there is a need to determine and optimize these.
In the example below, you can see how we do determine a slow query by using ICM logging framework for upcoming query optimization tasks.
The query optimization is not part of this document. It is only about to determine long or slow running queries and their bind variables.

Steps to Follow

  1. Enable the ICM performance sensors inside the SMC

  1. This allows you to track performance query values inside the SMC performance views and related share drive debug log files in TRACE mode:

  2. Enable debug log scope trace for package


As result the related share drive debug log will describe your suspect query with bind variables and runtime details.

Examples

In this example ICM executed a query with bind variables to determine results from "GetTargetCustomers".


Log output from the query, which is triggered:

Query, describing the runtime:

)
ORDER BY SORTING
ASC NULLS FIRST 

Note:

Please take care of the same request ID to combine and understand these two log information. They are one team.

At this point, you know the query "GetTargetCustomers" with bind variables XCsKABE2XSYAAAFxyXUYJOVE and CatalogFilter_w4MKAP8gw1EAAAGCazxZQCV does consume 13ms total runtime.

 
 
If you know the bind variables from a suspect long running query, a DBA can create/analyze an execution plan from to optimize the query (possibly add an index or rework query).
In case of query rework, it is very important that the records still return the expected results.
