Purpose

You use end-to-end monitoring in the following cases:

      If you want to monitor message processing steps in a number of SAP components (to be configured).

      If you want to monitor the path of individual messages through these SAP components, from start to end.

The central end-to-end monitoring tool is the Runtime Workbench. The data for end-to-end monitoring comes from the Process Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI), which is an SAP monitoring tool for monitoring end-to-end technical processes involving multiple SAP components.

Prerequisites

      You have started the Runtime Workbench.

      You have activated the HTTP services required for PMI by calling transaction SICF or program RSXMB_ACTIVATE_ICF_SERVICES.

Process Flow

If you want to run end-to-end monitoring, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      Select and configure the components that are relevant for monitoring.

Note

All components involved must have the logon group PUBLIC.

       2.      Send the messages whose processing you want to monitor from start to end.

       3.      Choose End-to-End Monitoring on the initial screen of the Runtime Workbench.

       4.      If required, enter filter criteria for the sender and receiver.

Defined selection filters can be saved and reused. Saved filters can also be deleted.

       5.      Choose Display.

Result

End-to-end monitoring has two views for displaying the data delivered from PMI for the individual processing steps (technical process steps) of the messages in the configured components:

      The process overview

The process overview displays the total number of processed messages and the number of messages with errors for each component involved. If the number of messages with errors is greater than zero, the status of the component changes from green to red.

The process overview is the initial screen of process monitoring and contains a graphical representation of the components involved in the process. You can open these components and display the process steps involved.

      The instance view

The instance view displays the path of a specific message through the components involved. Detailed data is available for each individual processing step in every instance.

The instance view contains a graphical representation of all components involved in the process. It displays the status for each of the components that the instance passes through. You can open the components to display a view of the process steps involved with the corresponding data.

If you choose Further Settings in the left screen area, a window appears containing further information and administrative options for PMI. Among other things you can turn the monitoring on and off here, or immediately update the monitoring data that is displayed. To do this, choose Start Now on the General tab page.

For more information about the integration of PMI into the Runtime Workbench, see Displaying and Managing Process Monitoring. You can also access this information by choosing Help on the left-hand side of the screen.
