Monitoring Messages Across PI and BPM in the BPM Log ViewerLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

To provide monitoring capability for Process Orchestration scenarios across PI and BPM, message-related business log entries contain the message ID that is delivered by PI to SAP BPM using the XI 3.0 message protocol. You can view this information in the BPM Log Viewer to track what happened to a PI message in BPM. You can navigate from this PI message ID in the Business Log Viewer to PI message monitoring.

Note

The PI message ID is only provided for Process Orchestration scenarios. For scenarios that do not involve PI, and which specifically do not use the XI 3.0 protocol for sending messages, no message ID is displayed with the corresponding business log entries.

Note

Message-related business log entries are only written if the business log level is set to at least Standard.

In addition, you can search for business log entries by using the PI message ID.

You can also use this procedure to search the PI messages using the process instance ID.
