# SAP System - Built-in Checks

Here you will find detailed information about Built-in checks for SAP System monitored objects.

Built-in checks are deployed automatically for a monitored object type. Once Avantra has detected a specific monitored object, each of the relevant built-in checks will be auto-deployed to the agent to begin check execution and status reporting. Built-in checks can be configured using Monitoring Parameters (e.g. to set threshold values) and can also be disabled if they are not relevant to your landscape.

| Starting from Avantra 20.2.0, no enhancements have been made to the checks for SAP Releases lower than 7.30 SP5. It means that if you are running SAP Releases lower than 7.30 SP5, some of the checks below will not be supported and, therefore, will either not be displayed or be shown with an UNKNOWN status and a message highlighting that the check requires a higher SAP release

## ABAP_DD_DB

Watch ABAP data dictionary / database consistency

Description

Runs an ABAP data dictionary / database consistency check inside SAP and displays the results. If there are no inconsistencies the check is Ok, otherwise, a Warning will be reported. Certain indexes may be excluded from the check by using the monitoring parameter ABAP_DD_DB_Exclude.

## BATCH_INPUT

Verify erroneous, long-running, and outdated batch input sessions

Description

The BATCH_INPUT verifies erroneous, long-running, and outdated batch input sessions and consists of three sub-checks.

- The SAP System is queried for batch input sessions older than BatchInputMaxAge days. The Check Result will be Warning if records are found. To turn this sub-check off, you may set BatchInputMaxAge to `0`. The result of this sub-check is indicated with a message like: `Number of batch input sessions older than 60 days: 85`.

- The SAP System is queried for running batch input sessions older than BatchInputMaxRunTime. The Check Result will be Warning if such records are found. You cannot turn this sub-check off. The result of this sub-check is indicated with a message, e.g.: `Number of batch input sessions in state processing older than 24 hours: 7`.

- The system is queried for erroneous batch input sessions of the previous day. If records are found, the Check Result will be Critical and a table with erroneous batch input sessions will be displayed. The result of this sub-check is indicated with a message, e.g.: `No erroneous batch input sessions starting from 2010-02-16 07:00:00 found` or

      Cli. Session name  St. User   Date/Time           Creation Program   TA.tot   TA.err
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      001  MY_SESSION    E   BATCH  2010-02-17 06:00:44 Z_MY_PROG          28       28

For all three sub-checks, you may use BatchInputClientExclude to exclude clients, and BatchInputQIDExclude to exclude sessions by Queue-ID. By default client `000` and `066` are excluded.

## BatchManStat

Verify BatchMan status (if present)

Description

The check verifies the status of BatchMan, a 3rd-party product of HONICO. (If installed in your ABAP SAP System.)

BatchManStat will first look if BatchMan is active; if so it will further check if the BatchMan job is active. Additionally, it will output the date and time of the last run of the BatchMan job. The check status is Ok if both, BatchMan itself and its BatchMan job are active. Otherwise, the check status is Critical.

If you are not using BatchMan but the Avantra Agent has found it in your SAP System and the BatchManStat check is Critical you may want to disable the check completely.

## BCS_OutboundErrors

This check queries for erroneous outbound Business Communication Services records (Daily Check)

Description

The BCS_OutboundErrors check queries for erroneous outbound Business Communication Services records (Daily Check) and retrieves erroneous outbound business communication services records as displayed by SAP transaction `SOST`. BCS_OutboundErrors works exactly as the RealTime Monitoring check BCS_OutboundErrStat, except that the timespan is always to the previous Daily Check record. Please see BCS_OutboundErrStat for a description.

Monitoring Parameters | BcsOutboundClientList, BcsOutboundClientMode, BcsOutboundErrorsNumWarn, BcsOutboundErrorsNumCrit, DailyCheckStart, and MaskUserPersonalDetails

## BCS_OutboundErrStat

Query for erroneous outbound business communication services records (RealTime Monitoring)

Description

The BCS_OutboundErrStat check queries for erroneous outbound business communication services records (RealTime Monitoring) and retrieves erroneous outbound business communication services records as displayed by SAP transaction `SOST`. BCS_OutboundErrStat check is designed to retrieve data of all clients found in an SAP system, no matter which client is used for RFC by the Avantra Agent. Per default, BCS_OutboundErrStat checks in all clients except `000` and `066`. You may change this behaviour using BcsOutboundClientMode, which can be set to deny or allow. Denylisted or allowlisted clients are specified by the BcsOutboundClientList parameter.

If the number of erroneous records in last BcsOutboundErrStatTimeSpan minutes is above configurable thresholds BcsOutboundErrStatNumWarn or BcsOutboundErrStatNumCrit, the status of the check is set to the corresponding status. This check is accompanied by Daily Check BCS_OutboundErrors, which checks erroneous records back to the previous Daily Check schedule.

Each client is checked separately against the thresholds. The client column of the result table is either colored with no color, meaning there are erroneous records but the number is below Warning and Critical thresholds, yellow, meaning the number of erroneous records are equal to or above the Warning threshold, or red, i.e. above the Critical threshold. The worst result per client will give the overall status of the check.

| The amount of records being selected is limited by a maximum number of 500 per client. Due to technical reasons, the column Sender will be blank if the RFC user (see Avantra Agent) is not in the same client as the BCS record.

Monitoring Parameters | BcsOutboundClientList, BcsOutboundClientMode, BcsOutboundErrStatNumWarn BcsOutboundErrStatNumCrit, BcsOutboundErrStatTimeSpan, and MaskUserPersonalDetails

## BCS_OutboundWaitStat

Query for waiting outbound business communication services records

Description

The BCS_OutboundWaitStat check retrieves waiting outbound business communication services records as displayed by SAP transaction `SOST`. BCS_OutboundWaitStat check is designed to retrieve data of all clients found in an SAP system, no matter which client is used for RFC by the Avantra Agent. If the number of waiting records is above configurable thresholds BcsOutboundWaitNumWarn and the wait time of these records exceeds BcsOutboundWaitTimeWarn minutes, the status is set to Warning. If records are found that exceed BcsOutboundWaitNumCrit in number and BcsOutboundWaitTimeWarn in time, the status is set to Critical.

By default, BCS_OutboundWaitStat checks in all clients except `000` and `066` and you may change this behaviour using BcsOutboundClientMode, which can be set to deny (`Blacklist`) or allow (`Whitelist`). Denylisted or allowlisted clients are specified by the BcsOutboundClientList parameters.

Each client is checked separately against the thresholds. The client column of the result table is either colored in green, meaning there are waiting records but the wait time of each record is below BcsOutboundWaitTimeWarn. This can be normal behaviour, for instance, if waiting records are sent by a scheduled job. If the client column has no color at all, this means that there are waiting records above BcsOutboundWaitTimeWarn or BcsOutboundWaitTimeCrit but the number of them is below thresholds BcsOutboundWaitNumWarn or BcsOutboundWaitNumCrit. Yellow and red color means that there are waiting records above the corresponding time and number thresholds.

Since different send methods may require different time thresholds, for instance, if outbound requests using FAX are only sent at a certain schedule, you may use exception parameter BcsOutboundWaitTimeExceptions to define special thresholds. For syntax details, please see the documentation of this parameter. If an exception threshold is used for a record, a small info icon will be displayed beneath the waiting time.

| The amount of records being selected is limited by a maximum number of 500 per client. Due to technical reasons, the column Sender will be blank if the RFC user (see Avantra Agent) is not in the same client as the BCS record.

## BW_PROCESSCHAINS

Verify status and runtime of process chains

Description

The BW_PROCESSCHAINS check retrieves the status and runtime of all Process Chain runs during the last day. If one of the Process Chains terminates with status `red`, the check turns Critical. If one of the Process Chains exceeds the runtime thresholds, the check status turns to Critical or Warning, respectively.

Certain Process Chains may be excluded from the check by using BWProcessChainsExclude, the Check Result for canceled (status `X`) Process Chains may be defined with BWProcessChainsCancelledStatus as well.

| To run this check, the Avantra RFC User must be defined in the standard client of the SAP BI System.

## DIALOGPERF

Verify dialog performance

Description

The DIALOGPERF chek reports the performance of dialog steps in an ABAP SAP System.

The check returns an alert if a certain ratio of the dialog steps runs longer than a configurable threshold (e.g. 1 second).

The ratio, as well as the runtime threshold, can be configured.

The results are listed during a time period of one day (as provided by the underlying SAP System; cannot be configured).

A minimum number of steps can be defined also. So, if there are fewer dialog steps in the monitoring period these values are not considered for the Check Result. This is to take into account that only a reasonably large number of data can provide some valuable statistics.

Example 1. Example of the DIALOGPERF daily check

    Overview of dialog steps below 1 sec runtime, time range: 00-24 h
    Minimum number of dialog steps (status is OK if below): 1000

## JOBSTAT

Verify aborted and delayed SAP Jobs

Description

The JOBSTAT check verifies aborted and delayed SAP Jobs. It consists of two sub-checks to get the number of aborted jobs and the number of delayed jobs.

- The number of aborted SAP jobs is detected over a configurable period of time (by default one hour). Warning and Critical thresholds may be defined, and there is also an option to exclude certain Jobs from being considered. The result is indicated with a message like

      OK - Number of aborted jobs in last 60 minutes: 1
      Aborted jobs are [#]: SLCA_LCK_SYNCHOWNERS [1]

  The result includes the names of aborted jobs and the number in square brackets.

- The number of delayed jobs is detected over configurable periods of time.

  The status of this sub-check is Warning if JobDelayedCountWarn or more jobs are delayed for more than JobDelayedTimeWarn minutes. The status is Critical if JobDelayedCountCrit or more jobs are delayed for more than JobDelayedTimeCrit minutes.

  The result is indicated with a message like

      CRITICAL - Number of jobs being delayed for more than 2 minutes: 3, for more than 10 minutes: 2
      Delayed jobs are [h:mm]: /BDL/TASK_PROCESSOR [2:38], SAP_RSICFDLT [2:35|4:31],
      SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP [10:05], SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_NONE_R3_STAT [12:42]

  The result includes the names of delayed jobs and the delay time. If more than one job with the same name is delayed, the individual delay times are displayed in a list separated by `|`.

  The Monitoring Parameter JobDelayedIncludeExpired controls if expired jobs, i.e., jobs with configured and expired No start after date/time are considered as delayed jobs or not.

| The JOBSTAT check might display jobs with a very long delay time, e.g. `Delayed jobs are [h:mm]: SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_PERFMONITOR [18213:13]`. This is no error! You will find this orphaned job in your system if you query for it the following way: Run SAP transaction Job overview (i.e. `SM37`). Query for the jobname, user name `*`, job status `Released` or `Ready`, and clear all job start condition from the selection. The job will then be displayed in the result list. The delay time may be so long, that it is not displayed in the job overview table of `SM37` for whatever reason. In order to clean up, you will usually delete the orphaned job.

## NumberRanges

Verifies the usage of Number Ranges in ABAP systems

Description

The NumberRanges check verifies the Number Ranges of an ABAP system for its usage. It works similar to SAP standard report `RSNUMHOT`, however, the check is designed to retrieve data of all clients found in an SAP system, no matter which client is used for RFC by the Avantra Agent. Per default, NumberRanges checks in all clients except `066`, so client `000` is included per default. You may change this behaviour using NumRangesClientMode, which can be set to deny (`Blacklist`) (default) or allow (`Whitelist`). Denylisted or allowlisted clients are specified by the NumRangesClientList parameter.

Per default, all Number Ranges are checked against thresholds NumRangesUsageWarn and NumRangesUsageCrit. If the usage of a Number Range exceeds the corresponding threshold, the check result will be either Warning or Critical. Per default, rolling number ranges are included in the check as well. You may change this behavior by unchecking NumRangesRollingIntervals.

To even further individualize the check behavior, you can use exclude number ranges from being checked and you can as well instruct the check to use individual thresholds as defined in SAP transaction `SNUM`. To exclude Number Ranges, you list them in NumRangesExclude. Excludes always work on all clients. To use individual thresholds already defined in your SAP System, you use NumRangesUseObjectDef. If you want to define individual thresholds specifically, you use the advanced NumRangesUsageEx parameter.

Please see the reference of these Monitoring Parameters for further reference.

## PI_CommChannels

Verify the PI Communication Channels

Description

The PI_CommChannels check verifies the status of PI communication channels. If a channel’s status is `INACTIVE`, `UNKNOWN`, or `UNREGISTERED`, Avantra will report a Warning check status. If a channel’s status is `ERROR`, Avantra will report a Critical check status. For the remaining possible status `OK`, Avantra’s check status will be Ok, of course. The overall check status of PI_CommChannels will be the worst status of all channels.

| Please note that per default, all communication channels with status `INACTIVE` are excluded, so if you want to receive a Warning for the same, you first need to change Monitoring Parameter PICommChannelsExclude.

Furthermore, you can use Monitoring Parameters PICommChannelsErrsWarn and PICommChannelsErrsCrit to delay the time an error is reported as Warning or Critical state. Per default, an error will be reported immediately as Critical since PICommChannelsErrsCrit is set to 1. If you change the parameters, e.g. to PICommChannelsErrsWarn 2 and PICommChannelsErrsCrit 3, a channels check status will be still Ok after the first error is detected. If the error persists to the next check cycle, check status will be Warning. If it still persists to the third check cycle in sequence, check status will be Critical.

Monitoring parameter {PICommChannelsExclude} is used to exclude certain communication channels from being checked. You can exclude on all information provided by the check’s result table, i.e., _Party, Service, Channel, Activation State, and Channel State.

| To use this check, you’ll have to make sure the action `xi_af_channel_admin_display` is assigned to the SAP Java user.

## PI_CONNECT

Verify connectivity to PI/XI SAP Systems

Description

The PI_CONNECT check verifies if the basic infrastructure for PI/XI monitoring is up and running.

This check returns Critical when the SAP Runtime Workbench is not accessible using the Avantra J2EE user. This can be due to a lack of permissions of the user or due to an incompletely configured PI system.

Additionally, PI_CONNECT serves as a overview check for all other PI checks (except PI_CACHE), so if this check fails, all the other dependent checks will return Unknown.

## PI_IEMessagesStat

Checks for erroneous PI Integration Engine XML messages (RealTime Monitoring)

Description

The PI_IEMessagesStat checks looks for erroneous XML messages of the PI Integration Engine as displayed by ABAP transaction `SXMB_MONI` when queried for XML messages in status group `Errors` for the last PIIEMessagesStatTimeSpan minutes.

PI_IEMessagesStat check is designed to retrieve data of all clients found in an SAP system, no matter which client is used for RFC by the Avantra Agent. Per default, PI_IEMessagesStat checks in all clients except `000` and `066`. You may change this behaviour using PIIEMessagesClientMode, which can be set to deny (`Blacklist`) or allow (`Whitelist`). Denylisted or allowlisted clients are specified by the PIIEMessagesClientList parameter.

If the number of erroneous messages is above configurable threshold PIIEMessagesStatNumWarn, the status is set to Warning. If the number of messages found exceeds PIIEMessagesStatNumCrit, the status is set to Critical.

Each client is checked separately against the thresholds. The client column of the result table hash either no color, meaning there are erroneous messages but the number for this client is still below PIIEMessagesStatNumWarn. Yellow and red color means that the number of erroneous messages exceeds the corresponding thresholds.

## SXMB_MessagesStat

SXMB_MessagesStat checks for erroneous PI Integration Engine XML messages (RealTime Monitoring)

Description

Checks for erroneous XML messages of the PI Integration Engine as displayed by ABAP transaction `SXMB_MONI` when queried for XML messages in status group `Errors` for the last SXMBMessagesStatTimeSpan minutes.

SXMB_MessagesStat check is designed to retrieve data of all clients found in an SAP system, no matter which client is used for RFC by the Avantra Agent. Per default, SXMB_MessagesStat checks in all clients except `000` and `066`. You may change this behaviour using SXMBMessagesClientMode, which can be set to deny (`Blacklist`) or allow (`Whitelist`). Denylisted or allowlisted clients are specified by the SXMBMessagesClientList parameter.

If the number of erroneous messages is above configurable threshold SXMBMessagesStatNumWarn, the status is set to Warning. If the number of messages found exceeds SXMBMessagesStatNumCrit, the status is set to Critical.

Each client is checked separately against the thresholds. The client column of the result table hash either no color, meaning there are erroneous messages but the number for this client is still below SXMBMessagesStatNumWarn. Yellow and red color means that the number of erroneous messages exceeds the corresponding thresholds.

## SystemAlive

SystemAlive verifies if a SAP System is alive

Description

The check verifies if the minimum requirements for the technical operation of a SAP System are fulfilled from a monitoring perspective.

These requirements depend on the nature of the SAP System, but basically there has to be a minimum number of SAP Instances available, i.e. they have to be detected and the corresponding connect checks have to succeed. If one of the required SAP Instances is not available SystemAlive will report an error message.

The following list describes the conditions that have to be fulfilled for the SystemAlive check to be Ok:

ABAP only with classical Central SAP Instance

  - At least one Central SAP Instance has to be discovered and monitored with the RFCConnect and ASCS_MSGSRV checks being Ok.

  - The SAP Database instance has to be discovered and monitored with the DBCONNECT check being Ok.

ABAP only with Abap_Scs SAP Instance

  - At least one ABAP Dialog SAP Instance has to be discovered and monitored with the RFCConnect check being Ok.

  - An Abap_Scs SAP Instance has to be discovered and monitored with the ASCS_MSGSRV check being Ok.

  - The SAP Database instance has to be discovered and monitored with the DBCONNECT check being Ok.

Java only SAP System

  - At least one Java SAP Instance has to be discovered and monitored with the J2EECONNECT check being Ok.

  - A Java_Scs SAP Instance has to be discovered and monitored with the SCS_MSGSRV check being Ok.

  - The SAP Database instance has to be discovered and monitored with the DBCONNECT check being Ok.

ABAP+Java (double stack) SAP Instance

  - At least on Central SAP Instance has to be discovered and monitored with the RFCConnect and ASCS_MSGSRV checks being Ok, or at least one Dialog SAP Instance with RFCConnect and an Abap_Scs SAP Instance with ASCS_MSGSRV being Ok.

  - At least one Java SAP Instance has to be discovered and monitored with the J2EECONNECT check being Ok.

  - A Java_Scs SAP Instance has to be discovered and monitored with the SCS_MSGSRV check being Ok.

  - The SAP Database instance has to be discovered and monitored with the DBCONNECT check being Ok.

| Although the SystemAlive may report Ok, your system may face e.g. performance problems if one or multiple SAP Instances are not available. From Avantra 23.1, when one of the mandatory checks is not {_Ok,} i.e. Critical or Unknown, the SystemAlive will also switch to Critical.

The Monitoring Parameter SysAliveIncompleteTimeCrit plays an important role once it comes to a cluster switch. If a cluster does switch, one of the required SAP Instances may vanish until the cluster switch has finally finished. To cover these situations the SystemAlive check first turns to Warning. If the SAP Instances does not come up withinSysAliveIncompleteTimeCrit minutes, the check turns to Critical.

Example 2. Example SystemAlive Ok

- Classical Central SAP Instance with double-stack and Database instance on the same host.

      Database server is basel
      DBCONNECT check is OK for C11
      Central instance is basel_C11_00
      ABAP central services instance is basel_C11_00
      J2EE central services instance is basel_C11_01
      RFCCONNECT check is OK for basel_C11_00
      J2EECONNECT check is OK for basel_C11_00
      ASCS_MSGSRV check is OK for basel_C11_00
      SCS_MSGSRV check is OK for basel_C11_01

- Java-only system, all components on a single host

      Database server is colmar
      DBCONNECT check is OK for P01
      Central instance is colmar_P01_01
      J2EE central services instance is colmar_P01_02
      J2EECONNECT check is OK for colmar_P01_01
      SCS_MSGSRV check is OK for colmar_P01_02

Example 3. Example SystemAlive not Ok

- No active instances found.

      No active instances found since 00:05 [hh:mm]

  Status is Warning or Critical depending on SysAliveIncompleteTimeCrit

- System is incomplete. This happens if there are instances available but Avantra can no longer determine the type of the SAP System. The status again depends on the time expired and the SysAliveIncompleteTimeCrit setting

      The system is incompletely monitored since 00:05 [hh:mm].
      Not all components of a fully operational system have been found.

## TMS_Imports

TMS_Imports checks for non-imported and imported transport requests with non-Ok return codes (Daily Check)

Description

Checks the return code of imported transport requests and works exactly like the RealTime Monitoring check TMS_ImportStat, except that the timespan is always to the previous Daily Check record and non-imported transport requests are shown. Please see TMS_ImportStat for a description. Please note that TMS_Imports uses its own Monitoring Parameters TMSImportReturnCodeCrit and TMSImportReturnCodeWarn.

## TMS_ImportStat

TMS_ImportStat checks for transport requests with not Ok import return code (RealTime Monitoring)

Description

Checks the return code of imported transport requests of last TMSImportStatTimeSpan minutes. If one or more imports are finished with return code ≥ 8, the check status will be Critical. If no import with return code ≥ 8, but one or more ≥ 4 are found, the check status will be Warning. Otherwise, the check status will be Ok.

This default behaviour can be changed by Monitoring Parameters TMSImportStatReturnCodeCrit and TMSImportStatReturnCodeWarn. For example, you might not want to have warning return codes to contribute to the check result. To do this, you simply change Monitoring Parameter TMSImportStatReturnCodeWarn from the default value `4` to `off`. Or you might not want to have erroneous return codes starting from 8 be reported as critical result for development or quality assurance systems but as warning. To achieve this, you would change TMSImportStatReturnCodeCrit from `8` to `off` and TMSImportStatReturnCodeWarn from `4` to `8`. See more examples in table below.

Table 1. Monitoring Parameters Examples for TMS_ImportStat
Return Codes and Check Status | Monitoring Parameters setting
--- | ---
Warning RC 4 → Warning, Error RC ≥ 8 → Critical (Default) | TMSImportStatReturnCodeWarn 4, TMSImportStatReturnCodeCrit 8 (Default)
Warning RC 4 ignored → Ok, Error RC ≥ 8 → Critical | TMSImportStatReturnCodeWarn off, TMSImportStatReturnCodeCrit 8
Warning RC 4 ignored → Ok, Error RC ≥ 8 → Warning | TMSImportStatReturnCodeWarn 8, TMSImportStatReturnCodeCrit off
All Warning and Error RC ignored → Ok (not recommended) | TMSImportStatReturnCodeWarn off, TMSImportStatReturnCodeCrit off

This check is accompanied by Daily Check TMS_Imports, which checks transport request imports back to the previous Daily Check schedule.

## USER_PWD_AUDIT

USER_PWD_AUDIT verifies passwords of standard users

Description

Checks SAP standard users `SAP*`, `DDIC`, `SAPCPIC`, `TMSADM`, and `EARLYWATCH` for well-known standard passwords.

If the basis release of your SAP system is 7.00 onwards, the results of the original SAP report `RSUSR003` are reported using the advanced check result format including tabular details for each checked user.

| For SAP basis release 7.00 it depends on the patch level of the report `RSUSR003`. If recent SAP notes are not applied, Avantra Agent falls back to a simpler check procedure producing plain text output only.

The table displayed corresponds to the one displayed by `RSUSR003`, except that a new column Excluded is added to show which users have been excluded by Monitoring Parameter UserPWDAuditExclude.

If the Password Status of one or more users is reported in red color by `RSUSR003`, the check result will be Critical. If a user with red color Password Status is locked, USER_PWD_AUDIT will return a Warning status and the user is marked in yellow color in the result table.

Furthermore, the lock status is checked. If one of the standard users is locked due to unsuccessful login attempts, by default a Warning is raised. This behaviour can be controlled by Monitoring Parameter UserPWDAuditFailedLogonSeverity: if this parameter is set to `Critical` a user locked due to unsuccessful login attempts will be reported as Critical.

If UserPWDAuditFailedLogonSeverity is set to `OK (not recommended)`, a user locked due to unsuccessful login attempts will not contribute to the check result.

For SAP systems prior to 7.00, the check result will use a text table presentation and the following check logic which does not depend on `RSUSR003`. If a users password is set to a well-known standard password, the check will return a Warning status, unless the user is excluded by parameter UserPWDAuditExclude.

This check additionally verifies if the users exist in each client. If the user `SAP*` does not exist, the check will return a Warning status (unless the profile parameter `login/no_automatic_user_sapstar` is set to `1`) since login with password `pass` may still be possible.

The `user does not exist` message is suppressed for user `EARLYWATCH` for all clients other than `066`.

## WORKLOAD

WORKLOAD verifies the SAP System workload

Description

The average dialog response time of the SAP System during the last Full Check Cycle is reported and compared with the Warning (default 1000 ms) and Critical (default 2000 ms) thresholds. If responses times are higher than the defined thresholds, the check will return the corresponding Check Result.

Only transactions with at least DialogPerfMinStepCount steps are considered.
