Use

You can monitor the processes on an Advanced Adapter Engine (AAE) using the tools that are available in SAP NetWeaver Administrator on the local system.

Integration

  • The central tool for monitoring the integration processes in your landscape is the PI Monitoring dashboard in Technical Monitoring Work Center in SAP Solution Manager. When you find there that certain processes or messages on a particular AAE should be reviewed more thoroughly, you can navigate to the corresponding monitor in SAP NetWeaver Administrator.

  • The access to the monitoring tools can be managed using a set of predefined user roles and actions. For more information, see Monitoring Roles .

  • When using WS-RM-enabled Web service communication, messages are combined into sequences. You can use the sequence monitoring tool to monitor the sequence status, as well as to end or restart sequences with errors. For more information, see Monitoring Sequences .

  • You can also monitor the processes on the local AAE using the Runtime Workbench tools.

    Note

    When you use the Advanced Adapter Engine Extended (AEX), the Runtime Workbench cannot be used for monitoring purposes.

Features

  • You can use message monitoring to create an overview of message processing, to track the status of messages, and to find errors that have occurred and establish what caused them. For more information, see Monitoring Messages .

  • You can obtain technical information about Advanced Adapter Engine. This includes information about the defined sender and receiver components, database locks of messages, the number of messages per category and status, and other technical details. For more information, see Displaying Technical Data for the Adapter Engine .

  • With the communication channel monitor you can obtain information about the communication channels that are set up for the Advanced Adapter Engine. You can also perform some administrative activities. For more information, see Monitoring Communication Channels .

  • You can use the IDoc monitor when you need information about the messages that were processed with the IDoc adapter on the AAE. For more information, see Monitoring IDoc Adapter .

  • You can use the cache monitor to display objects that are currently in the runtime cache of the AAE and the mapping runtime. For more information, see Monitoring the Cache .

  • You can schedule the background processing of routine tasks on the Advanced Adapter Engine. You can configure jobs for archiving, deleting, restarting, and recovering messages. For more information, see Performing Background Processing .

  • When you want to obtain statistical data about the performance of message processing in the AAE you can use the performance monitor. You can use it to see the amount of time spent by messages at various points of their life cycle in the AAE. For more information, see Monitoring Performance .

  • The Java Proxy Runtime monitor provides information about the current status of each runtime component. For more information, see Monitoring Java Proxy Runtime .

  • You can define rules according to which the system processes messages with different priorities: low, normal, or high. For more information, see Prioritizing the Processing of Messages .
