Use

You use component monitoring in the following cases:

  • To obtain an overview of the status of the individual PI components.

  • To call the configuration data of individual components.

  • To use test messages to check whether the runtime components are 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 Java Proxy Runtime configured in them.

  • To display current technical data for your Adapter Engine.

  • If you want to prioritize message processing on your Adapter Engine.

The component monitoring in Runtime Workbench uses data from the System Landscape Directory, the exchange profile, and from the components themselves.

Note

The central tool for monitoring the integration processes and components in your landscape is the PI Monitoring dashboard in Technical Monitoring Work Center in SAP Solution Manager. The information about component monitoring with Runtime Workbench provided here is only for reference.

Prerequisites

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

Process

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

  • Integration Server including the Integration Engine (central), Business Process Engine, mapping runtime, and Adapter Engine (central)

  • ABAP proxy systems (business systems with an Integration Engine)

  • Non-central Adapter Engines

  • Java SE Adapter

  • System Landscape Directory

  • Integration Directory

  • Enterprise Services Repository

  • The Runtime Workbench itself

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 components maintained in the System Landscape Directory, their current CCMS status, and the name and type of the component.

Note

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

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

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

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

Component Monitoring with CCMS

You can also run component monitoring with a special CCMS Alert Monitor for PI. You call this either by choosing CCMS or transaction code S_B6A_52000011. The CCMS Monitor returns an alert status in component monitoring for every component.

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

Note

If the CCMS Monitor for PI 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 ).
