Updated May 25, 2018

While processing data, the performance of function module BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT in not up to par.

How to Improve BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT Performance?

The function module BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT run ABAP command "COMMIT WORK" or "COMMIT WORK AND WAIT" and does not contain any actual database changes. Therefore the actions regarding the BAPI framework need only a little processing time. Performance issues in FM BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT are always caused by the functions triggered for "COMMIT WORK".

Following are ABAP documentation for COMMIT WORK:

  • Execution of all subroutines registered with PERFORM ON COMMIT
  • Call function ABC in update task
  • Update table XYZ
  • Insert table XYZ
  • Synchronous updates
  • Etc.

In order to analyze the performance, the user must determine which action is the actual cause of this poor performance problem. A user can use all of the ABAP and database trace functions in order to find the actual cause of the problem. 

Troubleshooting this issue can only be possible by the application that processes the data.
