Monitoring is divided into the following areas:

      General monitoring functions

      Monitoring the mobile devices

      Monitoring Smart Synchronization

Various monitoring applications and log applications are provided for these areas. The applications check and monitor the mobile devices and Smart Synchronization in the background and supply information about the status of these two areas. Consequently, they can help to identify critical system events.

Since the Mobile Infrastructure (MI) usage type is installed together with the usage types Application Server ABAP (AS ABAP) and Application Server Java (AS Java), it is important to refer to the information contained in the sections AS ABAP - Monitoring and AS Java - Monitoring.

The following monitoring functions are provided:

Monitoring synchronization
(
Monitoring the Synchronization Process)

The following monitors are available to monitor synchronization:

      Generic Synchronization Queue Monitor
(allows you to monitor the server queue for Generic Synchronization)

      Technical Synchronization Monitor
(allows you to monitor the entire synchronization process from the moment it is triggered by the user to the completion message on the client at the end).

      Smart Synchronization Replication Monitor
(allows you to monitor replication runs for SyncBOs of the types back-end-driven (T51) and timed 2-way (T01)).

      SyncBO Processing Statistics
(You monitor how long it takes to process the individual SyncBOs. You specify the devices you want to monitor in the transaction MEMON_CUST.)

Monitoring the mobile devices

SAP MI in the Computing Center Management System

Checking Synchronization Processes

MI is connected to the monitoring architecture of the CCMS (Computing Center Management System). The concept of this monitoring architecture is to provide all the required information (for example, availability, configuration data, log and trace files) in a single, central monitoring system. As soon as problems occur, they are displayed in the alert monitor.
For more information, see the section AS ABAP and Monitoring.

Special MI tools that support working with the CCMS:

      Alert monitor
To display the alerts registered by the CCMS

      Reorganization tool
To clean alert files, when required

CCMS:
Transaction RZ20

Status overview for mobile components
( Displaying the Status of Mobile Components)

You can track the current status of a mobile component on a particular mobile device in the SAP NetWeaver Mobile Administrator. Each time the mobile device synchronizes it sends its current status to the server.

Device Maintenance

Tracing( Setting the Trace for Error Correction)

The trace function is available for the SAP MI Client Component and is already activated by default. The trace files accumulates information over a long period of time. Different trace levels are available.

The trace files applog.txt and trace.txt are written to the <MI_HOME>/log directory.

Performance tracing
( Measuring System Performance on the Mobile Device)

If problems occur with the system performance, you can register all the relevant activities on the mobile device and then send the log file to the server to be evaluated.

Refer to SAP Note 851831 for further information.

Configuring Log Severity Levels

To denote the level of importance or relevance of a certain log, you can configure the SAP MI log severity levels in the Log Configuration in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator..

SAP NetWeaver Administrator:
System Management Monitoring Logs & Traces Log Configuration

From the Show dropdown box, select Logging Categories.

Category: /applications/MI Monitors.

The default severity value is INFO.

Configuring Tracing Severity Levels

To denote the level of importance or relevance of a certain trace, you can configure the SAP MI tracing severity levels in the Log Configuration in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator..

SAP NetWeaver Administrator:
System Management Monitoring Logs & Traces Log Configuration

From the Show dropdown box, select Tracing Locations.

Monitoring Smart Synchronization

Synchronization overview
( Displaying the Synchronization Overview)

In the Monitoring Tool, you have an overview of synchronization for which you can generate different views.

You use the monitoring tool if you want to check the processing of particular worklist items, for example.

MI server:
Transaction MEREP_MON

Synchronization message display
( Displaying Synchronization Messages (Inbound / Outbound))

You can view the details about synchronization messages from the inbox or outbox.

MI Server:
Transaction MEREP_MON: Worklists Data

Logging
( Log Tool)

You can use the log tool to find errors that occurred in Smart Synchronization. To optimize performance and system resources, you can configure different log levels.

You use the log tool, for example, if you want to check worklist item-independent processes (for example, the replicator).

MI server:
Transaction MEREP_LOG
