Please help to understand.

Hi,

>>SXMB_MONI has "Standard" and "Process" Views

XI messages stored in the persistence layer of the Integration Engine can be observed by the monitoring tools (transactions SXMB_MONI, SXMB_ADMIN) of the Integration Engine.

The Monitor for Processed XML Messages menu entry offers you two different views of processed XML messages:

· 1) The Default View (default setting) :This view displays all messages that meet the chosen selection

criteria.

· 2) The Process View :This view only displays messages that were processed using the Business

Process Engine. The displayed messages are grouped according to the process instances

involved.

Both views give you three different options for selecting processed XML messages:

· 1) Search for all processed XML messages:

Leave the Status Group and Status fields empty.

· 2) Search for XML messages that belong to a particular status group :

This enables you to access all XML messages where errors occurred during processing, for

example.

· 3) Search for XML messages that have a particular status:

For example, you can use the message status to further restrict the number of messages

belonging to a particular status group. This enables you to access all messages with

errors that can be restarted, for example.

The system then displays a list of persisted XML messages. You can restrict the length of this list.

Note:

If you do not have administrator authorization (S_XMB_ADM), the system only displays XML

messages of the current client.

Hi

Am just giving you a bried overwiew about the message monitoring.

Central monitoring:

The central monitoring of SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) offers you the option of executing various monitoring activities. Primarily, you use the Runtime Workbench, the central tool for accessing XI monitoring.

The Runtime Workbench gives you the option of navigating to the monitoring functions of the Integration Engine, as well as integration with the Computing Center Management System (CCMS), and the Process Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) of SAP.

The Runtime Workbench provides access to all these monitoring activities. You can also run component monitoring by using a special CCMS Alert Monitor, which monitors the individual XI components.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/45/d169186a29570ae10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm

RunTimeWorkBench resdes on the Java Stack and so allows you to see the flow of your message from the Adapter Engine ( on Java Stack ) to the Integrtaion Engine ( on ABAP Stack ), and again to the Adapter ENgine ( on Java Stack).

SXMB_MONI runs on the ABAP stack allows you to monitor the message flow only in the ABAP stack / Integration Engine.

SXMB_MONI helps you to find any error in the xi steps. But it will not tell you if you have any errors on the adapters.

So for checking any errors on the adapters and the errors for communicaiton channels we need to go with RWB.

RWB enables a central monitoring of the XI server which has multiple features which SXMB_MONI tcode doesnt provide - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7c/14b5765255e345a9e3f044f1e9bbbf/content.htm

Both RWB and Sxmb_moni are both used for monitoring purpose only...where as when take Runtime workbench you can have different options which xi provides...like component monitoring,Performance monitoring,End to End monitoring,message monitoring...etc..but where as in sxmb_moni you can able to see the xml messages only.

Hope this clears your doubts

Thanks

Hi Sekhar,

Go thru this link. It explains the difference between the 2 views clearly:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c4/9a5c3bab977239e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

The basic difference between the 2 views s that the default view selects all the messages that meet the specified criteria, however the process view will select the messages only which have been processed by the BPE . The BPE processes the messages that use the BPM. For more information on BPM you can refer to these links:
