How to find BAPI for system monitoring purposes

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I am new in SAP. I have been given the task of identifying BAPIs in BAPI Explorer for Basis Components for Computing Center Management System in SAP.

For example, the transaction code SM51 is for seeing the availability of application servers. Now my task is to find the BAPI for it so that from JAVA that BAPI can be invoked to monitor for availability of application servers.

Can anybody tell me how to find such BAPIs.

Thanks,

Hi,

I wish i could name the BAPI for you but i aint aware of one. But you can always find one using a bit of R&D.

Run SM51 in debugging mode and see the name of the function modules being called or used. The general naimg convention kind of remains same. For example, most of the BAPI for business partner would have "BUPA" in the BAPI name.

If you are able to find this common word, or some link then you can go to se37 and try combinations like BAPI(that cmmon word) F4.

This would lit out the BAPI available.

Hi tanveer,

i debugged SM04 transaction(for users logged on) but i was not able to find a call function with BUPA in it.

so please tell me how to find a BAPI for SM04 transaction monitoring.

Thanks,

Hi,

It seems like you are new to SDN.

Welcome to SDN Rajeev.

Hey Rajeev,

I gave u an exampe of BUPA being in for business partner.

In this case you would not have BUPA not some word which is repeated in most of the functions.

Thats the word you are suppose to look out for.

Then go to se37 n do as i said earlier.

You would get a list of all BAPI.

I wish i could tell u the BAPI name, but currently i dont have SAP on my system.

Hi Tanveer,

the problem is SM51 and SM04 both are using the program SAPLKKBL whose source code is LKKBLF00.

Both use this statement below:

perform user_command_new tables t_outtab

gt_dummy

using gt_stack.

So both are invoking the same code with different queries from database.

I even debugged this but the functions which were called were general functions i think.

So now tell how to find a BAPI for these transactions.

Thanks,

Rajeev,

I guess you are looking at external monitoring information. Take a look at the function modules starting from SXM*.

Also there is a document in service market place on external interface monitoring.

Hello Ravi,

As you said to see SXM* functions - I found the function SXMI_XMB_USER_LIST_READ for a RFC function module for transaction SM04. But when i executed it with parameters:

EXTERNAL_USER_NAME = login-id with which i entered sap

INTERNAL_RFC_DEST = name of RFC of SAP system as in SM59,

i found it gave an exception NOT_LOGGED_ON and the return table had no entries.

So can you tell me how to execute this SXMI_XMB_USER_LIST_READ function in SE37.

Thanks,

Hi,

As Ravi suggested , you can try '.SXM*' If in case you arent able to figure out the BADI n ur work is of urgent nature, create a customised function module as remotely enabled n use it as a wrapper to call the standard functions you found out during your debugging process.

Hi,

Apart from above suggestions u can also try Function Modules Starting with "TH*" for example,

TH_REMOTE_TRANSACTION

Rajeev,

Check out if this doc can help you?

The SX* BAPIs (SXMI, SXMB, SXBP*) are all to be executed by remote monitoring tool.

There is a sessionid which is created by default when you login from remote tool. One need to follow as mentioned below:

Open RFC Session Authorization from SAP

Open XMI Session for XAL Identification of the XM

Call XAL Functions Identification of the Agents

Open XMI Session for XBP Identification of the XM

Call XBP Functions Identification of the Agents

Call XAL Functions Identification of the Agents

End XMI Session

End RFC Session
