Monitoring PerformanceLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

The user account you use should be assigned to one of the Process Integration monitoring roles. For more information about which roles allow you to view monitoring information, see Monitoring Roles .

Context

Caution

The performance monitor is not supported for use in production scenarios. The information provided below is only for reference.

When you want to obtain statistical data about the performance of message processing in the Adapter Engine, you can use the performance monitor. Within this monitor, the performance is gauged by measuring the amount of bytes processed over a given time period.

The performance details provided by the monitor are useful for administrators who need to know the amount of time spent by messages at various points of their life cycle in Adapter Engine. These points (known as measuring points) are at the following stages of message processing:

  • Message is put in the queue.

  • Message is retrieved from the queue.

  • Call to a module in the Adapter Framework.

The performance monitor allows you to choose the time period for which you want to measure the message processing. You can also choose whether you want to see information for all processed messages, or only for messages with common parameters such as the sender or receiver component, interface, or quality of service.

Procedure


  1. Access the performance monitor in one of the following ways:

    • Open a browser and go to http://[host]:[port]/pimon to access the Process Integration tools. Then choose Start of the navigation path Monitoring Next navigation step Adapter Engine Next navigation step Performance Monitoring End of the navigation path.

    • Open a browser and go to http://[host]:[port]/nwa to access SAP NetWeaver Administrator. Then choose Start of the navigation path SOA Next navigation step Monitoring Next navigation step PI Performance Monitoring End of the navigation path.

  2. Choose the period of time for which you want to see the performance data.

  3. Optionally, choose Advanced and enter the parameters of the messages for which you want to see the performance data.

  4. Choose Go .

Results

The system analyses the message processing data and displays the results in a table. The results are grouped into aggregation entities. Each entity corresponds contains data about a particular aggregation interval within the specified time period. The system displays only aggregation entities where there is data for at least one message.

When you select an entity, the system displays for the messages in the selected aggregation interval in a table. The messages in this table are grouped by common parameters. You can select a group the following performance details below the table:

  • Choose the Module Information tab to see the amount of time spent by the messages in the selected group at the measuring points.

  • Choose the Message Information tab to see the statistical data for the minimum, average, and maximum message size and number of retries.

Next Steps

  • For more information about the processes running in the Adapter Framework, see the “Structure of the Adapter Framework” topic in the documentation of Process Integration.

  • You can monitor the performance of the Integration Engine using Runtime Workbench.
