Results of system measurement
Access through: System measurement > Results of system measurement
The Results of system measurement report is part of the System measurement feature of Snow Optimizer for SAP® Software.
Description
This report shows the results of system measurement executions on connected data sources. It provides information about the measurement status, measured engines, and activity checks performed.
You cannot show the results of the official consolidated user license measurement in Snow Optimizer for SAP® Software, but you can show them in the LAW after you transferred the results.
If current results are not already loaded into the master system, you can load system measurement results and save the results as LAW files or directly transfer the results to the LAW via an RFC connection.
-
System measurement results are loaded online.
-
To directly transfer results to the LAW via RFC, you must maintain the RFC connection to the LAW central system in RFC destination to LAW central system.
Selection criteria
The selection screen of the report has standard selection criteria.

| Work time | Users who did not have a break of at least 8 hours during two consecutive days in producing or changing entries in selected database tables |
| Volume of work | Users who exceeded a threshold for creating or changing database table entries in selected database tables Note: SAP uses certain statistical parameters to decide if the number exceeds the threshold. |

| Professional/Limited Professional users | Users who are classified as ESS or Employee but accessed business tables that require a Professional or Limited Professional user license |

You can also show the activity checks relevant for Indirect Usage with the Activity checks Indirect Usage report.
The Status column is highlighted if a critical activity check requires your attention.
Highlighted activity checks attract the interest of SAP and have to be explained in an audit.
You can define your own thresholds for activity checks in Snow Optimizer for SAP® Software and send warnings when a threshold is exceeded.
