Component Monitoring
Purpose
You use component monitoring in the following cases:
● To get 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 Runtime Workbench is
the central tool for component monitoring and provides you with an overview of
the current system landscape. To create this view, component monitoring uses
data from the
System Landscape
Directory, the exchange profile, and from the components
themselves.
Prerequisites
You have started the Runtime Workbench. Component Monitoring is activated as the default on the initial screen.
Process Flow
You use the Runtime Workbench to display and monitor the following components:
● Integration Server including the
○
Integration Engine
(central)
○ Mapping Runtime
○
Adapter Engine
(central)
● ABAB proxy systems (business systems with an Integration Engine)
●
Non-central
Adapter
Engines
● System Landscape Directory
● Integration Directory
● Enterprise Services Repository
● The Runtime Workbench itself
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 (CCMS). It is displayed by means of an icon, which can be red, yellow, green, or gray.
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).
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.
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. This view sorts the components by component type.
You can select a component from those displayed and do the following:
● Call information on the current status of the component
● Call information about the configuration of the component
You can also do the following, irrespective of which component is selected:
● Check that cache connectivity is functioning
