Displaying Technical Data for the Adapter Engine 

Use

You can display current technical data for several server nodes for the selected Adapter Engine.

Prerequisites

You have started the Runtime Workbench, are in component monitoring, and have selected an Adapter Engine as the component.

Procedure

To display current technical data for the selected Adapter Engine, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      On the Status tab page, choose Engine Status. You need to enter the user and password for the selected Adapter Engine.

       2.      Select the required server node.

The system displays node-specific system information. Additional detailed information is displayed on the available tab pages.

       3.      Select the tab page with the required information.

Backlog Tab Page

This tab page shows all sender and receiver services that are defined for the selected Adapter Engine in the CPA cache.

You can use a filter to restrict the number of services displayed. You can enter an asterisk (*) here for this.

The number of messages currently still in processing (backlog) is displayed for each service. The number is not node-specific and represents the sum of messages across all nodes.

You can select a service for monitoring by the SAP NetWeaver Administrator. In addition to the selected services, this also always displays the total sum of messages for all services.

For performance reasons, only select particular services for monitoring, not all services.

To make the data visible in SAP NetWeaver Administrator, proceed as described in Modifying the State of a Set of Monitors. In the monitoring tree, select the nodes Server ® Services ® Adapter Framework ® Messaging System.

To display the monitored services, choose Messaging System ® Receiver Services or Messaging System ® Sender Services.

Four message categories are displayed:

●      EOIO Backlog:

Held messages (status HOLD)

●      Processing Backlog (with errors):

Waiting messages (status WAIT)

●      Processing Backlog (without errors):

Messages to be delivered (status TBDL) and messages that have been delivered (status DLNG)

●      Error Backlog:

Messages with system errors (status NDLV)

You can connect the monitor to the SAP Computing Center Management System (CCMS). There, you can define corresponding threshold values to generate alerts for individual backlog categories and services.
