Implementing the Channel PingLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

The channel monitor in SAP NetWeaver Administrator provides a channel ping for an adapter self- test. This chapter describes what you must do to enable the channel ping in your adapter implementation.

Procedure

  1. Each channel ping consists of several tests. Decide which tests make sense for your adapter implementation.
  2. For each test, provide a description and the test result.

    The test result should be either OK, NOT_OK, or OK_WITH_WARNINGS.

  3. Provide an overall test result in class com.sap.aii.utilxi.rtcheck.base.TestSuitResult .

    • If all tests are OK, provide an overall OK.

    • If an error occurs in any test, provide an overall NOT_OK.

    • If the channel status is inactive, provide an overall OK_WITH_WARNINGS.

  4. To enable the channel ping in your adapter implementation, use interface com.sap.aii.af.service.administration.api.monitoring.ChannelSelfTestCallback and specifically method testChannel .

    This method accepts a channel and a locale as input parameter, executes the tests on the given channel, and returns the results as object TestSuitResult .

  5. Register the implementation via method registerAdapter of the AdapterRegistry .

Example

This is an example of the process flow if a user selects the channel ping in the channel monitor for a channel using the JMS adapter.

Figure 1: Flow Control of Checking the Condition of a Channel

In the implementation of the JMS adapter, the following tests are executed:

  • Checking the channel status

  • Testing the connection

  • Creating a temporary destination

  • Sending a test message

  • Checking the channel bindings
