In SAP systems, long-running transactions refer to business processes or activities that take a significant amount of time to complete. These transactions can have an impact on system performance and overall efficiency. If your SAP system is experiencing performance degradation, it may be due to the long-running job execution time that is caused by an expensive SQL statement.

Monitoring the In-Flight Time is crucial for performance analysis and optimization in SAP environments. This practice aids in tracking the elapsed time of a background job and the duration for which the job has been active and processing. High or unexpected In-Flight Times may indicate potential issues, such as performance bottlenecks or resource constraints.
Utilizing IT-Conductor for monitoring the In-Flight Time ensures the efficient use of resources and timely completion of tasks. The chart below provides a visual representation, and by clicking on a data point, a pop-up window displays a list of jobs and their respective In-Flight times. This view can be expanded, and the time, along with other attributes, can be sorted as required for detailed analysis.
