Analyzing which SAP transactions are used in a system and how often they are used is crucial for ensuring security, managerial reporting, and license optimization. To address this need, STA Technologies has developed a solution to generate a comprehensive report of SAP transaction usage used in a specified timeframe. Initially developed for a special use case, STA’s ITSM Connector allows SAP users to create tickets in external ITSM platforms, like ServiceNow, Jira etc. However, it required mapping SAP modules and custom transactions to the support groups in the connected ITSM platform. But this led to challenges such as obsolete Z transactions which made a lot of mapping efforts useless.

The effectiveness of STA’s Report solution is its ability to generate a CSV report from standard Workload Monitor logs, offering a structured overview of transaction usage and associated application components. Users can customize the report to focus solely on transaction statistics or aggregate data on component levels for deeper insights. Additionally, the solution supports processing multiple SAP systems simultaneously, enabling granular mapping and efficient aggregation of data. By providing detailed transaction and application component information, this solution enhances mapping accuracy and streamlines support team assignments.

Companies can generate transaction statistics to understand usage patterns. This is crucial for security compliance and effective license management. The report also enables aggregation at the component level, streamlining the assignment of support responsibilities within the ITSM platform.

By streamlining the process of mapping SAP transactions to support teams in external ITSM platforms, the solution significantly enhances deployment efficiency.  It automates the creation of SAP transaction usage reports and enables easy integration with the ITSM platform, significantly reducing the manual effort required for these tasks. Using this solution, companies can maintain a streamlined, efficient SAP landscape, ensuring that support processes are in alignment with actual system usage and that resources are allocated effectively.
