Monitoring the AS Java system helps the administrator to identify resource bottlenecks or problems early on and to take any action that is required.

With the SAP NetWeaver Administrator, you can monitor the application server itself and the components and applications running on top of it. You can also extend the functionality of your custom applications by adding monitoring capabilities to them, and thus to take advantage of the monitoring tools and infrastructure for monitoring your own applications.

You can also access log files from one location which reduces the time required for error identification and correction.

Local Monitoring

Java System Reports

To monitor your local system, you use the SAP NetWeaver Administrator tool Java System Reports.

This is a problem detection and analysis tool that you use for the following:

      Monitor the AS Java cluster and Java applications.

      Track the performance of one or all instances and cluster nodes of a particular Java system.

      Detect and analyze the causes of problems in an AS Java in a situation of reduced performance.

      Perform motivated tuning for productive use with the AS Java.

The most important information is summarized in a set of predefined charts and reports. You can also view data from each single monitor in the monitoring tree of the Monitor Browser and compose your own reports and charts.

More information: Java System Reports.

Monitoring and Displaying Log Files

To ensure the stable and error-free operation of the system, the system administrator needs to check the logs regularly for error messages. If required, it is also possible to reconfigure the default logging settings to optimally suit your scenario.

Central Monitoring

If you want to monitor SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1 (PI) centrally, you must use the central SAP NetWeaver Administrator for PI.

More information about the configuration and use of the SAP NetWeaver Administrator for PI, see PI Monitoring with SAP NetWeaver Administrator

Additional Monitoring Capabilities

To serve particular monitoring needs, an additional set of tools is available in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator.

      PI Monitoring

As an alternative to the SAP NetWeaver Administrator for PI you can use the Runtime Workbench to monitor your integration landscape.

      Open SQL Monitoring

When Open SQL for Java is used to access a database, it is important to trace how the communication with the persistence store is handled. With the Open SQL Monitors, you can monitor the execution of SQL statements, the status of the table and catalog buffers, as well as the availability and the use of Open SQL database connections.

More information: Open SQL Monitors.

      Sequence Monitoring

With Web Services Reliable Messaging (WS-RM)  you ensure that the communication between a Service Provider and a Service Customer is completed without errors. You use the analysis tools of the sequence monitor to find such errors. You use the sequence monitor, for example, to view its status or to stop or restart faulty sequences.

More information: Monitoring Sequences.

      Archiving Monitor

This area is part of the functionality of Java Archiving Cockpit. It enables you to monitor the progress of archiving sessions and displays statistics about how many objects have been written or deleted, and by whom.
