Ensuring Quality 

When troubleshooting your own developments in the monitoring infrastructure, note that the infrastructure itself is instrumented, meaning that, by default, powerful self-monitoring is therefore available. The results of this monitoring are displayed in the CCMS Selfmonitoring monitor. 

There are also specific methods for troubleshooting and error analysis for the methods described in Getting Involved:

Creating a Data Supplier for the Alert Monitor

If you are creating a data supplier yourself, you can and should report messages to the self-monitoring of the monitoring infrastructure. These messages are usually reported in the Data Supplier Log log attribute in the CCMS Selfmonitoring Monitor for Instance-Specific Data. For more information, see the document Writing a Data Supplier.

To download the relevant document, start the SAP Developer Network (http://sdn.sap.com), and go to the SAP NetWeaver Developers' Guide Quick Link. Choose Application Development ® System Management ® System Management Development, and in the ABAP System Management area, select the Writing a Data Supplier document. The coding that you require is in the section Issuing Self-Monitoring Messages.

Reporting Monitoring Data Using XML Documents

The most important error messages and status information for the certifiable interface BC-XMW are displayed in the XML_Selfmonitoring subtree in the CCMS Selfmonitoring Monitor for System-Wide Data. You can also activate a detailed logging of the processing of XML documents in the transferred XML document itself, by setting the element auditlevel=1. You can display this analysis in transaction RZ15. 

For detailed information, see the Error Analysis and Self-Monitoring section of the document Interface for Transferring Monitoring Data to the CCMS Monitoring Architecture Using XML Documents.

To download the relevant document, start the SAP Developer Network (http://sdn.sap.com), and go to the SAP Integration and Certification Center Quick Link. Choose Integration Scenarios ® SAP Web Application Server (Technology), and, in the Alerts and Monitoring area, select the BC-XMW interface.
Instrumenting an Application with GRMG

To monitor the correct functioning and configuration of the Generic Request and Message Generator (GRMG), use the GRMG Selfmonitoring Monitor.

Reading Monitoring Infrastructure Data Using the XAL Interface

If you use the certifiable interface BC-XAL to read monitoring architecture data for additional processing, you use a collection of function modules on the SAP side. These function modules output data for any error messages in the return variable RETURN.

For detailed information, see the Error Messages of the Function Modules section of the document Including External System Management Programs in the CCMS Monitoring Architecture.

To download the relevant document, start the SAP Developer Network (http://sdn.sap.com), and go to the SAP Integration and Certification Center Quick Link. Choose Integration Scenarios ® SAP Web Application Server (Technology), and, in the Alerts and Monitoring area, select the BC-XAL interface.
