Monitoring in an Enterprise SOA envrionment

[MarcelRabe]

Hi,

we're implementing enterprise soa like applications in a increasingly higher rate at our company. Using many different SAP products and non-SAP products we're offering end users relatively simple applications based upon a rather complex environment.

However, we're experiencing a lot of difficulty in the monitoring of complete processes. The Altert Framework combined with XI and Solution Manager does provide some monitoring for key interfaces and messages but it does not enable us to link them to the processes involved. The built-in Business Process Monitoring of Solution Manager is very limited and as far as I know is the BPM initiative with Aris no longer exisiting.

Does anyone of you have any opinion or experience on how to deal with this very important topic?

Thank you

Hi Marcel,

Beside being integration tool, the second main advantage of XI is monitoring. If you design your processes or Enterprise Services using XI(BPM), you can easily monitor end to end solutions.

But, if you are bypassing XI and using point to point solutions, definetely you would not be able to monitor the processes.
