Archiving and Viewing Payloads

[Former Member]

Hi,

Our BASIS team has changed our DEV PI environment (7.02) so that messages are disappearing from view within SXI_MONITOR. Now the only way to view these messages is by logging into the RuntimeWorkbench and finding then via the Archived option. However, when doing this I am not always finding the Payload. For example one message was sent to PI using a Proxy - this didn't show a payload. Other messages which were sent via web service etc do show the Payload.

My question is simple:

Does Archiving impair our ability to quickly and painlessly retrieve all parts of the message, including most importantly the payload?

I am worried by archiving the view of the whole message (including Payload) is impacted. I have done some searching and it isn't clear to me what the answer is.

Cheers,

Hello Paul,

in ABAP archiving by default the complete payload is persisted. In fact, all message versions. Searching is a bit more difficult, since you need to know which file to open, but otherwise it is like SXMB_MONI.

In Java part there is an option that truncates payload after a short time to save disc space. This parameter can be changed, of course.

All this is valid for asynchronous messages, for synchronous it is different.

Regards,

Jörg
