Performance tuning in ABAP involves optimizing the code and database access to enhance the efficiency and speed of ABAP programs. To improve performance, you can:
1. Use efficient SQL queries (e.g., SELECT only necessary fields).
2. Minimize database accesses (e.g., use internal tables).
3. Avoid nested loops and use hash tables for faster lookups.
4. Utilize buffering for frequently accessed data.
5. Optimize the use of SELECT statements with proper WHERE conditions.
6. Use appropriate data types and structures.
7. Analyze and optimize the runtime using transaction ST05 (SQL Trace) and ST12 (Performance Analysis).
8. Implement parallel processing where applicable.
