Time Spent in PI/XI

[Former Member]

hi Team,

We have IDOC sent from ECC system at 7:30 AM but in SXMB_MONI shows 'processing started' at 11:12 AM.

So just wondering how do i trace, why there was a delay in processing?

How do i calculate the diff. hops of messages and time spent at each hop?

Please help me to understand this.

HI Shekar,

In WE20, you can check if the Output Mode in the partner profile for the idoc type and see if it is Transfer Idoc immediately.

If not, it would have been processed at a later time by a background program.

One more reason might be that the idoc message after reaching the xi system, might have been blocked in a Queue.

Open the message processing entry in SXMB_MONI.......the above window (Window1) will show you a trace....in this trace check the entries in SAP:Performance Header node...it will show you the time spent in that particular pipeline step.....

For eg i am able to see an entry like: 20090713205843.33888....it states time as YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.......similar timestamp is provided for other steps.....check if this is what you are looking at.....

Hi Experts,

As i mentioned, I could see in ECC - IDoc sent at 7:30 AM and When i filter (time range - 07:00 to 13:00) it shows 'Start Time' 11:32 AM.

So wondering where was the IDoc all the time for 4 hrs? Was it in PI ? or somewhere else?

Thanks

Normally idoc trigger from ECC will reach immediatley to PI (no much time it will take,depends on network traffic)

Are sure that the time Zone of the ECC and PI server are same.. just check that it may help

hi Rajesh,

Another followup question - Is there way to find 'what time the ECC sent IDOC reached to PI'?

Thanks

Hi,

I think message is stucking in inbound/outbound queue. Check it. Most of the time stucked message will take too much time to release from queue, that is the reason the process time showing varry.

Sekhar,

See the idoc in WE02 in SAP. It will be the time send from ECC. You shoudl see the idoc in xi immediately.

IDOC monitoring should help you: /people/kamalkumar.ramakrishnan/blog/2008/02/13/monitoring-the-idoc-adapter-in-xipi-using-idx5

Hi sekhar,

you can check the idoc creation time and date with the help of fields CREDAT and CRETIME of EDI_DC40 segment

i.e control record

But this may not be the time which ECC triggered to PI ,provided if the parameter Trigger IDoc immediately is set for the partner (we20) ,I hope you got it

i.e Two options are available for triggering the idoc to external system which can be configured at partner level

options

1. trigger idoc immediately

2. collect idoc (for sending idocs in packets)
