As an alternative to the Runtime Workbench you can also use the SAP NetWeaver Administrator for PI to monitor your integration landscape.
● To be able to use the SAP NetWeaver Administrator for PI, you must first perform the following steps:
○ Install CCMSPING and register the system that your SAP NetWeaver Administrator is to run on.
○ Configure your SAP NetWeaver Administrator.
More information: Configure NWA)
○ If an Integration Server in your system landscape uses a different System Landscape Directory (SLD) to your SAP NetWeaver Administrator for PI, export the contents of the SLD for this Integration Server and import it to the SLD of SAP NetWeaver Administrator.
○ You must add all the ABAP and Java systems that you want to monitor with your SAP NetWeaver Administrator.
To monitor the Integration Server, you require the following systems:
■ The corresponding ABAP system with the client that is configured as the central Integration Engine.
■ The Java system that acts as the central Advanced Adapter Engine.
You must also add all other advanced Adapter Engines and business systems with an Integration Engine that are to be monitored.

● To be able to use the SAP NetWeaver Administrator for PI, you require the following authorizations:
ABAP users must have one of the following roles:
○ SAP_NWA_FULL
Composite role with all authorizations
○ SAP_NWA_READONLY
Composite role with read-only access and corresponding restricted authorizations.
Java users must have one of the following UME roles:
○ NWA_SUPERADMIN
Role with all authorizations
○ NWA_READONLY
Role with read-only access and corresponding restricted authorizations
The ABAP roles are automatically assigned to the Java roles.
Depending on the role assigned to the user, particular elements on the user interface are either activated or deactivated so that only authorized users can perform the corresponding activities.
● Start SAP NetWeaver Administrator for PI from your PI start page (http://<host>:<port>/dir) under Configuration and Monitoring → NetWeaver Administrator.
Displays an overview of the domains in your PI landscape with all the components involved.
More information: Monitoring PI Components.
● Depending on the component you select, you can perform the following additional activities; however, not all tasks listed are available for all components:
○ Communication Channel Monitoring
○ Monitoring Java Proxy Runtime
Some of these activities are integrated directly in SAP NetWeaver Administrator, whilst some of them open functions in the Runtime Workbench.
● The following functions are provided for configuring and monitoring Web services:
○ Web services log viewer for logging and tracing Web services
○ Monitoring Web Service Sequences
○ Configuring Web Services, including required security settings
● Depending on the selected component, additional tools enable you to do the following:
○ Check that Runtime Functions are Functioning
○ Check that cache connectivity is functioning
○ Index messages and administer indexes
○ Configure components for end-to-end monitoring
○ Create alert categories and alert rules
○ Schedule different kinds of background processing
○ Archive messages security settings
Some of these tools are integrated directly in SAP NetWeaver Administrator, whilst some of them are part of the Runtime Workbench.
● To start or stop PI-specific Java services (in Adapter Engines only), choose Java Services. The PI-specific services are preselected.
