Monitoring Messages 

Use

You use message monitoring in SAP NetWeaver Administrator for PI to monitor messages in components in multiple domains. You use message monitoring in the following cases:

●      To get an overview of message processing.

●      To track the status of messages

●      To find errors that have occurred and establish what caused them

You can search for all messages that were sent or received by the selected component.

You can also use the Runtime Workbench to monitor messages. You can also monitor messages using Integration Engine monitoring, which you can call from your SAP Easy Access user menu.

Prerequisites

You have started the SAP NetWeaver Administrator for PI and have chosen Message Monitoring.

You can also use message monitoring locally either to monitor local Web service messaging or the message processing of a local Adapter Engine.

To do this choose SOA Management → Monitoring → PI Message Monitoring in your local SAP NetWeaver Administrator.

Procedure

Message monitoring gives you an overview of message processing, as well as two different modes for searching for messages.

On both search modes you can search for messages that were persisted in the database or search for messages that have already been archived. You can restrict the number of messages displayed.

●      To get an overview of the current status of message processing, select the required component and choose the Message Overview tab page.

The message overview gives you the number of messages that are in a particular processing status in a specified time period. More information: Displaying Message Overview

The Message Overview tab page is not available in local message monitoring.

●      If you want to search for persisted messages, select the required component and choose the Database tab page.

●      If you want to search for archived messages, select the required component and choose the Archive tab page.

Searching in Standard Mode

In standard mode, you can use a particular message status to search for messages that were processed within a particular time period. The search looks for messages that were persisted in the database.

...

       1.      Select the required PI component.

       2.      Choose the required tab page (Database or Archive).

       3.      Select the required message status.

       4.      Select the required time period that the search is to cover.

       5.      Start the search.

Searching in Advanced Mode

In advanced mode, you can use different selection types with different selection criteria to search for messages. You can search for messages that were either persisted in the database, or already archived.

...

...

       1.      To navigate to advanced mode, choose Advanced in the standard mode.

       2.      Select the required selection type and enter your selection criteria.

You can reset selected or entered values.

       3.      Start the search.

Result

The system lists the selected messages along with their attributes in a table. The information that is actually displayed depends on the component that the message is in.

You can refresh the table. You can select individual messages and perform further activities:

●      Cancel or resend the message.

●      Display the details (attributes with their values) of the message.

●      Display the content (SOAP document and payload) of the message.

●      Display the audit protocol (if available) of the message.

●      Open the message to display the versions of the message that are available. In the version view you can cancel, edit, or resend individual versions. You can display the details (attributes with their values) of a message version. More information: Editing Messages.
