SXI_CACHE vs. RWB Cache Monitoring

[Former Member]

I'm familiar with the functionalities of transaction SXI_CACHE, as I've used it on a previous project. However, I have not used the Cache Monitoring function in the RWB, and was curious what the differences were. When would you prefer to use one over the other?

I've reviewed the How To Handle Cache in XI30, but the only thing that was specified about RWB Cache Monitoring was that you would choose between Software Components and Mapping Programs. I am still unclear as to what else is available.

Thanks in advance!

Okay, so after diving into some of those links, let me ask this:

Is it safe/correct for me to say that SXI_CACHE is used to perform cache refreshes, whereas RWB Cache Monitoring is used solely to monitor the cache?

I've used SXI_CACHE, and I know that it's used to perform delta and full cache refreshes. I read a little more in one of the links provided on what the differences were. But since I don't have access to XI, I can't visualize what the RWB Cache Monitoring looks like/is used for.

Hi Daniel,

<i>>>Is it safe/correct for me to say that SXI_CACHE is used to perform cache refreshes, whereas RWB Cache Monitoring is used solely to monitor the cache?</i>

You could say that.. You can detect problems that occur during runtime cache updations in the RWB cache monitoring.

All the best

Thanks for your replies, Prashanth and Moorthy! I am still reading up on the links that Prashanth provided, and will update soon.

Hi,

RWB--is a Central Monitoring tool of XI. So Cache Monitoring in the RWB will provide the info about

1) Java Stack of XI

2) ABAP stack of XI- Integration Engine

3) Adapter Engine

But SXI_CACHE is for Runtime active versions of Integration Enngine, ie it validates active connection between Repository, Directory and SLD during runtime. Also used to check the runtime active version of integration process (BPM)

Hope this helps,

Regards,
