There is a tool for administrating TREX in the SAP system. You can use this tool to administrate the queues, monitor TREX, and display information about the components in a TREX system.
The tool contains the most frequently-used functions. More detailed status displays and configuration options are available in theTREX admin tool (stand-alone) .
Prerequisites

You configure the TREX admin tool in the SAP system for secure use by creating a user for transactionTREXADMIN based on the predefine roleSAP_BC_TREX_ADMIN , which is delivered as part of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP together with the TREX ABAP client. The user created here then has the necessary authorization for secure use of the TREX admin tool in the SAP system. For more information about assigning authorizations, seeCreating SAP Users for the TREX Admin Tool in the SAP System.
