Tracing, Logging, and MonitoringLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

There are various tools that you can use to monitor your adapter and message processing in the adapter:

  • Tracing rewrites functions that help developers to recognize errors and solve problems.
  • Logging information comprises the status of a technical component on AS Java.

    The audit log of the Adapter Framework collects information for each message.

  • End-to-end monitoring using PMI allows you to track an entire communication chain from the original sender to the receiver within the PI system landscape.
Activities

Note the following requirements when integrating your adapter in tracing, logging, and monitoring:

  • Construct trace objects with fully-qualified class names.
  • Specify the log, trace, and audit statements in the adapter code.

    More information: Using Trace Objects .

  • In the adapter you can support access to the Process Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI).

    More information: Connection to PMI

  • You must use adapter-specific logging categories.

    More information: Using Log Categories

  • The adapter must not call flushAuditLogEntries() for synchronous messages.

    More information: Creating Audit Log Entries

  • You can execute and display performance measurements for your adapter or module during development.
