How to calculate the volume of data used (PI licensing limit).

[Former Member]

Hi,

One of our customers has several interfases running on SAP PI. They have a license that allows them the use of PI for a quantity of Gb in message data per month (I think that's the usual way).

They would like to know how near/far they are of their limint of data, so they would like to know how does SAP evaluate that.

Does anybody know wich tool(s) are used by SAP to calculate the volume of data spent in one month?. We would like to launch those tools and get this info (so we can evaluate if we can add new interfases or change the periodicity of existing ones within the limits of the current license).

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Regards

Rafa

Hello Rafa

You can use the report SXMS_XI_AUDIT_DISPLAY (in trx SE38).

Check the following location for more information:

http://service.sap.com/licenseauditing -> engine measurement

-> SAP XI Base Engine

-> SAP XI/PI Adapters

Hi Mark,

I have a quick question. The links that you provided gives an idea of the way in which the volume is calculated. This is helpful.

My question is regarding Auditing and Compliance:

Client has bought SAP PI licence for certain GB of data per month.

Can this report be generated automatically classified by SAP and Non SAP Systems (PI licence volume constraints are normally for data exchange for non SAP Systems)?

Also can this data be measured at Adaptor level? How does one monitor data at Adaptor level.

Thanks And Regards,
