Caution Caution

SAP NetWeaver Administrator for PI and all monitoring tools it includes are not supported for use in production scenarios. We recommend to use Runtime Workbench for PI monitoring in production scenarios. The information provided below is only for reference.

For more information, see SAP notes 1446507 and 1247043.

End of the caution.

Background processing is only available if you have selected an Adapter Engine as component for monitoring. Otherwise, you can use the Integration Engine archiving, for example.

More information: Archiving and Deleting

With background processing you can schedule jobs to:

  • To archive messages that have been processed successfully or edited

    You require two archiving sessions to archive messages:

    • One session to write the messages to the archive

    • One session to delete the persisted messages that have been archived

    A standard job is automatically created for archiving edited messages. It runs once a day and ensures that messages that were edited are archived. Before you can use this job you must first activate it. You cannot define rules for this job.

    To archive correctly processed messages, you must schedule an archiving job that in turn implicitly schedules the runs for writing the archives and for deleting the archived messages.

    All information that is displayed for a message in message monitoring is archived, in addition to the audit log for each message.

  • To delete messages that are not to be archived

    A standard delete job is created automatically. It runs once a day. You can schedule additional delete jobs; however, you cannot define rules for them.

  • To restart messages with errors

    Instead of restarting messages with errors manually in message monitoring, you can schedule a job to automatically restart these messages. This is possible for all messages for which the number of defined restart attempts has been exceeded (messages with the system error status).

    More information: Monitoring Messages

  • To reschedule lost messages

    A standard job to reschedule messages is created automatically. The job runs once a day and ensures that messages lost as a result of database failure, for example, are rescheduled. You can schedule additional rescheduling jobs; however, you cannot define rules for them.

Prerequisites

You have configured message archiving for the selected Adapter Engine

More information: Configuring Message Archiving for the Advanced Adapter Engine

Note Note

You can also use background processing locally, if you use a local Adapter Engine.

For this, choose   Management   SOA Monitoring   PI Background Processing   in your local SAP NetWeaver Administrator.

End of the note.
