SAP Note 1657121 - CALL TRANSFORMATION ID performance issue

Component : ABAP XML processing -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1657121 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAP Note addresses performance issues when using CALL TRANSFORMATION ID for deserializing XML documents to ABAP fields, noting excessive time consumption. The problem is traced to the XML runtime's handling of large payloads necessitating content conversion, especially with non-UTF-8 encoding. The recommended resolution includes updating to the latest kernel (disp+work) available on the SAP service marketplace and modifying approaches to XML serialization/deserialization. Specifically, adopting type X fields mitigates encoding conversion needs, as these fields inherently utilize UTF-8, streamlining processing and preventing similar issues.

Key words :
