SAP Note 917987 - General performance in variant configuration

Component : Variant Configuration -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/917987 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses performance issues in variant configuration processes, pinpointing long runtimes during value assignments or configuration model navigation. The document aids users in identifying areas within the configuration model that may benefit from runtime enhancements or adjustments to avoid errors in model structuring. However, it notes that not all unsatisfactory model configurations negatively impact performance. Emphasis is placed on understanding complex dependencies in large models, which may inherently slow runtime. Users are guided to use the RCU_VC_PERFORMANCE report and understand relevant transactions like ST05 and SE30, as well as how to effectively structure and analyze database and application modeling aspects to mitigate runtime delays.
