Monitoring the Web Service Runtime

In the AS ABAP, different tools for monitoring the correct functioning of the Web service runtime are at your disposal. You can deal with any errors that may occur using the tools provided.

Monitoring the Web service runtime is part of the central monitoring operation (for more information, refer to the documentation about the Alert Monitor on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com).

The following tools are provided for monitoring the Web service runtime:

• Alert Monitor for Web Services

  The Alert Monitor for Web Services triggers an alert if problems occur during the configuration of the Web service runtime, if there are runtime errors of different error categories, and whenever there are performance bottlenecks after certain threshold values have been exceeded.

• Logs and Tracing (SOA Manager)
  • The logging function provides information on processing steps in the SOAP runtime. With the tracing function, you can analyze errors or performance problems in detail.
  • First configure the logging and tracing. Configuring Logging, Configuring Tracing.
  • Then display the information: Displaying Logs and Traces
  • Changes to the SOA configuration and publications are also logged in addition to this.

• Web Service Support Utilities
• Monitoring ABAP Web Service Messages
• Monitoring Event-Controlled Processing

  When you are searching for errors, check whether the the Task Watcher is being started at regular intervals. This is another prerequisite for reliable message transmission and transaction processing in the SOAP runtime. 

• You can debug a Web service with errors on the provider side using units of the bgRFC (Background Remote Function Call).
