Component Monitoring 

Purpose

You use component monitoring in the following cases:

·        To get an overview of the status of the individual components of SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI)

·        To call the configuration data of individual XI components

·        To use test messages to check whether the XI runtime is functioning correctly

·        To test whether cache connectivity is functioning correctly

·        To archive the message security settings or whole messages

·        To check the status of your communication channels or the adapters configured in them

·        To display current technical data  for your Adapter Engine

The central tool in component monitoring is the Runtime Workbench, which you call from the Integration Builder start page. This tool provides you with a view of the current system landscape. To create this view, the Runtime Workbench uses data from the System Landscape Directory, the exchange profile, and from the components themselves.

Prerequisites

You have started the Runtime Workbench. Component Monitoring is activated as the default on the initial screen.

Process Flow

You use the Runtime Workbench to display and monitor the following components:

·        Integration Server with

¡        Integration Engine (central)

¡        Business Process Engine

¡        Mapping runtime

¡        Adapter Engine (central)

·        ABAB proxy systems (business systems with an Integration Engine)

·        Non-central Adapter Engines

·        J2SE adapter

·        System Landscape Directory

·        Integration Directory

·        Integration Repository (see Design)

·        The Runtime Workbench itself

You can also run component monitoring with a special CCMS Alert Monitor. You call this either by choosing CCMS or by choosing Exchange Infrastructure: Monitoring in the SAP user menu. The CCMS Monitor returns a status in the Runtime Workbench for every component.

The CCMS status is based on information from the SAP Computing Center Management System (CCMS). It is displayed by means of an icon, which can be red, yellow, green, or gray.

If the CCMS Monitor for Exchange Infrastructure is not active, all the components are displayed with a gray (undefined) status. The same applies to components that are not monitored by the CCMS Monitor at all.

You can use the CCMS status to limit the number of components that are displayed. This means that the system only displays those components with the selected status (all, red, red and yellow).

Component monitoring provides two views for displaying the components. When you choose Display, the default view is the table view. This view displays all the XI components maintained in the System Landscape Directory, their current CCMS status, and the name and type of the component.

The system can only display those XI components that are correctly maintained in the System Landscape Directory.

To switch to the tree view, choose Display as Tree. This view sorts the components by component type.

You can select a component from those displayed and do the following:

·        Call information on the current status of the component

·        Call information about the configuration of the component

You can also do the following, irrespective of which component is selected:

·        Check that the XI runtime is functioning

·        Check that cache connectivity is functioning
