Configuring AIF Interfaces for Monitoring Synchronous Outbound Messages

SAP Application Interface Framework's improved integration into Proxy/Web service technology makes it possible to monitor synchronous messages within one interface.

Setting up an SAP Application Interface Framework interface to monitor synchronous outbound Web service or PI messages includes the following steps:

  1. Generating the synchronous proxy service

  2. Checking the message type in the consumer proxy

  3. Defining the metadata repository namespace

  4. Creating a local metadata repository data type for the output message type

  5. Creating a local metadata repository data type for the input message type

  6. Creating a local metadata repository data type for monitoring

  7. Creating an SAP Application Interface Framework interface

  8. Creating a test data report for outbound

  9. Generating test data

  10. Monitoring data in AIF Error Handling /AIF/ERR
