Adapter Monitor 

Use

You use the adapter monitor in addition to the component monitoring of the Adapter Engine if you want to monitor the individual adapters (including the Java proxy runtime (JPR)) that you are using in the selected Adapter Engine.

Prerequisites

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

●      On the Status tab page, you have chosen Adapter Monitoring to call the adapter monitor.

Integration

The adapter monitor is available primarily for adapter types that do not provide runtime information to the communication channel monitor. You can only use the adapter monitor to monitor these adapters. For more information about all other adapter types, see Communication Channel Monitor.

Features

The adapter monitor displays the following information:

●      The name of the server where the chosen adapter engine was deployed. This can be a server cluster that is made up of multiple nodes.

●      The namespace in which the adapters shipped by SAP are located. If you have created additional namespaces for your own developments or for third-party adapters, these are also displayed.

●      A list of all the adapters available for the selected Adapter Engine. Adapters that are not installed and started or that are not registered in the Adapter Framework are grayed out. You can select all the other adapters to display additional information.

All adapters displayed have a red, yellow, green or grey status. The basic status of non-registered adapters is grey. Adapters that can only be monitored with the communication channel monitor also have a grey status.

Activities

If you do not want to display all adapters (default setting), you can make the following selections:

●      Only display adapters that have been installed and started.

●      Only display adapters in which an error occurred.

To display details for a registered adapter, select the corresponding adapter by clicking it.

A table with one or more status lines is displayed. If there are several cluster nodes the table has several tab pages, because adapters can have different statuses on different nodes.

The individual statuses of the table are accumulated to give the overall status of the adapter using the following rule: If the table contains at least one status that is above all other statuses in the status hierarchy, then this is taken as the overall status of the adapter.

The following table shows the possible statuses listed in their hierarchical order from top to bottom.

Possible Statuses

Status	Meaning
Red	Error status
Yellow	Warning
Green	No problems
Gray	Status unknown
No traffic light	No status information

 

If the table contains one or more error statuses, you can display just the line(s) with error status.

Depending on the adapter, the displayed time stamp may not be in local time, but UTC time.
