I will debug and optimize slow running abap programs
Code with purpose, Build with vision
About this Gig
Is your SAP program crawling? I'll find out why and fix it.
Slow ABAP programs cost time, frustrate users, and can even time out. I trace exactly where the bottleneck is and rewrite the code to run fast and reliably.
What I do:
# Full ABAP debugging (breakpoints, watchpoints, debugger scripts)
# SQL trace analysis (ST05) for expensive DB calls
# Runtime analysis (SE30/SAT) to pinpoint slow code
# Fixing SELECT-in-loop issues
# Optimizing JOINs & nested loop logic
# Internal table fixes (sorted/hashed tables, binary search, FOR ALL ENTRIES)
# Fixing N+1 query problems feeding ALV reports
# Background job/batch performance tuning
# Memory & short dump analysis
# Index recommendations
# Before/after benchmarking
Why work with me:
- I trace root cause using SAP's own tools (ST05, SE30/SAT, SM50/SM66)
- Clear before/after performance numbers
- Clean, production-safe code no shortcuts
- Clear communication + post-delivery support
I need from you:
- Program name/transaction code or the code itself
- Description of the issue (timeout, long runtime, dump, etc.)
- Dev/QA access or code + table structures
- Existing trace files if available (optional)

FAQ
Do you need direct access to my SAP system?
Ideally yes — dev or QA access with the right authorizations gives the most accurate diagnosis. If that's not possible, share the code and relevant table structures and I'll do a static review with recommendations.
Can you fix a program that's timing out or dumping (TIME_OUT, memory dumps)?
Yes, that's one of the most common issues I handle. I'll trace the root cause and rework the logic to stay within system limits.
How do I know the performance actually improved?
I provide before/after benchmarks (runtime, DB calls, memory) so the improvement is measurable, not just claimed.
Will you explain what was wrong, or just hand back fixed code?
Both. You'll get the fixed code plus a short write-up of what was causing the slowdown and what I changed.
Can you optimize background jobs, not just online reports?
Yes, background/batch job performance tuning is included.
What if the issue is a standard SAP program, not custom code?
I can still help — often the fix is in a custom enhancement, exit, or the way the standard program is being called. I'll assess and let you know what's possible.
Do you work with S/4HANA as well as ECC systems?
Yes, I work with both.
What's the turnaround time?
Depends on the package — Basic is 3 days, Standard 5 days, Premium 7 days. Rush delivery may be available on request.
