Use

Use this function to track inbound and outbound XML messages in the IDoc or RFC adapter. The system displays an overview of which messages were sent or received by the respective adapter.

Prerequisites

From the user menu you chose Exchange Infrastructure: Monitoring ® SAP Adapter – Monitoring. The system navigates to the screen XML Messages in IDoc/RFC Adapter.

Features

On the screen XML Messages in IDoc/RFC Adapter you can use various selection criteria to select and list XML messages separately for the IDoc adapter and the RFC adapter.

XML Messages in the IDoc Adapter

To display XML messages in the IDoc adapter, proceed as follows:

  1. Choose IDoc Monitor.
  2. Select an XML message by specifying the time and date the message was created, or by entering a specific message GUID.
  3. Specify your selection criteria in the group box IDoc.

    4. Selection Criteria:

    Selection Criterion

    Entry

    System ID

    Name of port in IDoc adapter

    IDoc Object

    Name of a customer enhancement or IDoc basic type

    Direction

    Direction of IDoc transfer
  4. Choose Execute.

The system sorts and lists the XML messages according to the time that they were created. Messages that were routed through as IDocs are listed together and are identified by the same message ID (GUID).

Besides the specified selection criteria, the system also displays the following information:

Display

Meaning

Client

Client in sender or receiver SAP component

Reference Number

IDoc reference number in IDoc adapter

Transaction ID

Transaction ID in IDoc adapter

The system also uses the list of messages to summarize the number of messages displayed for each direction.

To display a summary of the displayed information for each XML message, select the corresponding message in the list and choose Details (This graphic is explained in the accompanying text).

To display additional information about a message, switch to monitoring of the Integration Engine, by double-clicking one of the messages listed. On this screen you can display the contents of the message and existing message versions, compare individual versions and reschedule messages with errors.

XML Messages in the RFC Adapter

You have three options if you want to display XML messages in the RFC adapter. You can display

Displaying Inbound and Outbound Messages

Choose this option if you want to determine which XML messages entered or exited the RFC adapter according to particular selection criteria. Proceed as follows:

  1. Choose RFC Monitor.
  2. Select an XML message by specifying the time and date the message was created, or by entering a specific message GUID.
  3. Choose Inbound and Outbound in the group box RFC (default).
  4. Specify your selection criteria in the group box RFC.

    5. Selection Criteria:

    Selection Criterion

    Entry

    Transaction ID

    Transaction ID in RFC adapter

    System ID

    Name of sender or receiver SAP component (for example, BCE)

    RFC Destination

    Logical destination of original RFC call from sender

    Function module

    Name of function module called

    Client

    Client in sender or receiver SAP component
  5. Choose Execute.

The system sorts and lists the XML messages according to the time that they were created. Messages that were routed through as RFC calls are listed together and are identified by the same message ID (GUID).

Besides the specified selection criteria, the system also displays the function calls for each LUW (Logical Unit of Work).

Displaying Inbound Messages Only

Choose this option if you want to check whether an inbound asynchronous message actually arrived at the receiver, for example. You require the ID of the transaction where the message is located for this. Proceed as follows:

  1. Choose RFC Monitor.
  2. Choose Inbound -> Outbound in the group box RFC.
  3. Enter the required transaction ID in the group box RFC.
  4. Choose Execute.

The system displays all messages that arrived during the specified transaction.

All messages for which the system also displays an outbound transaction ID were sent successfully to the receiver.

Messages that do not have an outbound transaction ID are synchronous messages, messages that left the Integration Engine as proxy objects, or messages with errors that were therefore not sent.

Displaying Outbound messages Only

Choose this option if, for example, in the receiver system you want to locate the sender of the message, using a transaction ID. You require a transaction ID for this. Proceed as follows:

  1. Choose RFC Monitor.
  2. Choose Outbound -> Inbound in the group box RFC.
  3. Enter the required transaction ID in the group box RFC.
  4. Choose Execute.

The system displays all messages belonging to this transaction ID, including existing inbound transaction IDs.
