Business Process Monitoring - Application Monitoring help.

Hi all,
Through Business Process Monitoring, I am trying to configure monitoring on table NAST, so that an alert will be generated for Billing documents print outputs (application=V3, transm. medium=1) on specific message types, if the processing status is equal to either 0 (not processed) or 2 (incorrectly processed).
I have configured this through application monitoring, using the 'Messages (Output Determination)' monitoring object. Under this, was able to configure the 2 key figures of "unprocessed messages" and "incorrectly processed messages" with the parameters mentioned above (application and message type).
I set the yellow alert threshold to 1, and the red alert threshold to 2, as I want to be notified each time a print output goes into status 0 or 2, and that a red alert be generated in the case where 2 or more print outputs are not successful.
However, upon activation of this monitoring, I came across the following issue: The table NAST already has over 40 historic entries of unprocessed and incorrectly processed messages for these message types. The monitoring is picking up all these entries right away, and therefore a red alert is being generated.
There does not appear to be a way to configure the monitoring to only look for new entries in the table matching the criteria, e.g. look for billing docs with status = incorrectly processed during the last 24 hours. It seems that unless the existing entries in the table NAST are either deleted or have their status changed to "processed", the monitoring will always pick up these entries and report a red alert, even if no new entries are discovered.
Does anyone know how a way of configuring a date range with this type of monitoring, or do I have to modify the existing entries in the table (either delete them, change their status or set the "disregard" indicator on the messages in the table) before this monitoring will work as I hoped it would?
Secondly - a more general point - although there are lots of good documents on configuring Business Process Monitoring, I have not yet found one which gives full details on all the different types of application monitoring available, and how each of them can be configured. I know that within Application Monitoring, when you choose a monitoring type, the grey box at the top half of the screen gives some good information on what the monitoring does and how to configure it, but a document which captures all these monitoring types in one place would be very useful - if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it!
Thanks in advance for any help with the first issue above,
Regards,
John

Hi John,
you get an overview about all available key figures in the PPT "Business Process & Interface Monitoring - Part 2" under https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Library --> Customer Information. It lists all Monitoring Object and Key Figures with Select-Options. There is no document that describes the setup of every key figure as the setup is too similar for most objects. Therefore the grey text boxes within the tool.
The NAST collector will always pick-up everything older than x days. So you would have to process or delete the olde entries. But it is a good advise that for this rather technical key figure we should think about a delta mechanism like with our IDOC or ABAP dump monitor.

Business process monitoring - application monitor

Hi guys
Perhaps you can assist. I have setup a application monitor on SD Invoices AR , sales invoices not posted to FI . It is setup for one sales org and one distribution channel. It picks up 3 documents. The monitor runs at night . When I however pull the detailed report for the 3 billing docs, it takes about half an hour to run ? I have tried filling in more information eg billing type etc but there is no difference.
My other monitor - sales documents, orders GI date in past not delivered works fine, with quick response on the detail reported for exactly the same sales org and distribution channel . (176 documents ) . 1 minute.
What could be the reason for my invoices AR monitor taking so long to give me the detailed info ?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
you cannot compare the performance of different key figures with each other as every key figure consists of one or more SQL statements of different complexity.
The Sales Orders with GI date in the past are first selected via index table VEPVG which is usually very quick and later on the big application tables are selected like VBUK. As long as the backlog is moderate the key figure is very quick.
For the invoices not trasferred to FI the main select is on table VBRK. With your retail business you have problem millions of entries in this table. The quesion is if an index on VBRK exists in your system that could support a fast query. And then you have to fill selection criteria according to the index needs.
If you don't come to a conclusion there, please open an OSS ticket on component SV-SMG-MON-BPM and we will see if we can provide an SAP note improving the performance for this key figure according to your specific needs.

SAP XI and Business Process Modelling and Monitoring

hi All,
Could anybody tell me whether SAP XI has any Business Process Modelling tools or any Process Monitoring tools?
If any, are these analogous to IBM WBIs Modeller and Monitor? Also does SAP XI provide any human interaction?
Regards,
Shree Norway

Hi,
In the XI-Repository you can build Business Procces with the Process Builder.
for Monitoring you can use the Workflow Monitoring on XI.

i do not what it is wrong and i don't understand why i can test my app view since app int desing console succesfully but i get an error running my business process using workshop
any idea?

Try to send some valid data in COMP_CODE.
It seems that SAP is returning some reply which is not fitting your response Schema.
SAP Call is made and problem is in generating response document.
Use the design console to test the view again. and try to see the XML resquest document and response document. Compare your request xml with that in design console.

Business Process Documentation

Dear All
Business Process Documentation
I just want to know foloowing thing sabout Business Process Documentation.
do yuo know where there any documents about Business Process Documentation and system log ?
Edited by: Koji Watanabe on Feb 16, 2012 1:52 AM

Hellow Watanabe-san
Could you explain little bit mroe about what you are looking
for ?
Are you looking for the way to document Business Process in SolMan ?
Or
Are you looking for the way to monitor your business process in
the backedn system ?
The link that vasanthgobi mentioned is the SAP help on business
process monitoring.
Documentation topic
In SAP Solman, you can document your business process in following
2 area. Project area and Solution area. Project area is mainly used
for implementation phase or initial documentation. Solution area is
used for operation phase.
And to support the documentation, SAP Solman provides several
supporting tools for project area (you can copy the document in
project area to solution later).
In SolMan 7.1, if you want to document your business process,
you may have following possibility.
(General motivation for the documentation, please refer to the
this blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/27054.
And service Market Place
http://service.sap.com/esacademy (login in english)
=>meet the expert =>Replay Library.
=>SAP Solution manager =>Solution Documentation )
1.Upload via EXCEL (initial upload) and adjust in project area
<Create templete via project, and create excel content locally
and upload to project area>
2.Maintain business process by using Business Blue print function
<Using more graphical instead of SolMan screen>
Also refer to these blogs
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/28304
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/27212
And service market place link (webinar)
http://service.sap.com/esacademy (login in english)
=>meet the expert =>Replay Library.
=>SAP Solution manager =>Business Process Blueprint
3.Start initial documentation using RBPD content and adjust it in
project area
<SAP and IBIS develop analysis content based on the business
process repository. By using this content, you can execute
analysis for ERP and can get process utilization info.
And you can create initial process from this>.
Also refer to these blogs
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/26074
And service market place link
http://service.sap.com/rbpd
4.Document manually in project area
(Also ARIS integration is possible).
In above case, if you use RBPD content, yes, you have some step
related to the backend system (collecting process execution statistic
in ERP). But in other case, you do not have any activity to ERP.
For RBPD, it collects the data by using job, and you can control
the number of WP to be used. The runtime will be depending your
ERP system size.
Business Process Monitoring topic
In SolMan, there are business process monitoring functionality.
Actually, it is not only the monitoring, but also you can use it
for business process improvement.
Basically in business process monitoring related tools,
there are 2 main tools
1.Business Process Monitoring tool - Monitoring
2.Business Process Analytics tool - Analysis & benchmarking
(Also there are dashboard).
Business Process Monitorings enables monitoring of your core
business process from technical and application side.
The tool can monitor specific job(normal job/BW process chain),
interface(IDoc, tRFC, qRFC etc), performance, and also different
types of transaction document like sales order, delivery,
purchase order, production ordet etc.
For transaction monitoring, there are pre-defined template
(best practice).
Also it allows to monitor any table (z/y-table also).
And the Analytics tool is the tool based on the BW.
By using this, you can do benchamarking, trend analysis,
backlog analysis.
In more, I highly recommend to check the series of blog
by Volker. And FAQ document.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/u/251688346
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/FAQBusinessProcess+Monitoring
There are configuration document in service market place also.
http://service.sap.com/bpm
Hope this helps you.

Message not passed to Business Process Engine

Hi,
I have a simple test scenario:
File --> Integration Process --> File
The process only has a reveive and a send step and sends the message further using the File adapter (this is just for testing purpose and no real-life scenario).
This works correctly until the message needs to be passed to the Business Process - in message monitoring I can see that the receiver and interface determination worked successfully and that the message needs to be passed to the Integration Process and that's it. No active process, no obvious error message...
Any hints what I could do to analyze what's happening? Where can I find more information on what the problem could be (any additional logs, monitoring, etc.)? What can go wrong when a message is passed from the Integration Engine to the BPE?
Thanks for your help,
regards,
Peter

OK Im trying to understand you....
Your saying that it works correctly until the BPM...
Well this is not possible as the first step would be the sending from the source Business system to the Integration Process so in essence you would have not done anything....
Basically the flow is Comm channel to Pipeline which then sends to BPM which then sends back to the pipeline and to the target system. So in SXMB Moni no receiver would of been foun if you are saying that it doesn't get to the BPM....
Maybe im not understanding properly....
In fact now that I think about it... Have you specified the message in BPM... (Abstract Interface etc)

Business Process for Cement Industry

Hello all,
I am an Indonesia
I am new to SAP
I just graduated from college, now I work in a cement company
The company uses SAP, I was placed in the department of business processes
Without going through the training process, I was asked to understand the business processes in SAP that they use. They gave me access to the development server.
But it's still hard for me to understand the business process.
Can anyone help me? from where I had to start
I apologize if any mistakes...
Thanks..

Hi
That is ot correct to udnerstand the business process from SAP. it is difficult.
your company needs to provide the existing Business Process scenarios and how are they mapped to SAP with all scenarios documentation. Then, it would become easy for understand and digest and take care of issues.
Thanks,

Help Required IN Business Process Monitoring?

Hi,
i have few clarifications reg BPM in solution Mangager
1.What is monitored in BPM,Business Process interfaces or the business Process data( at does t monitors at data level)?
2.if interfaces are monitored in Solman BPM,how different it is from Netweaver Business process management.?
3.if possible can anyone brief out what XI process monitoring is and how is it different from SOLMAN BPM?
helpful answers rewareded
rgds,
rajesh

Hello Rajesh,
please refer to https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Library --> Customer Information --> "Business Process & Interface Monitoring - Part 2" to get a comprehensiver overview about what is available out-of-the-box for BPMon in SolMan.
BPMon in SolMan and BPM in Netweaver adress different target groups and can be seen a complementary functionalities.
BPMon in SolMan is primarily targeting at the 2nd level application support and should ensure a stable and smooth processing of Business Processes from a technical as well as application perspective. The processes have a granularity down on transaction or background job level.
Technical monitoring could be average response time of a transaction or a job cancellation.
Application monitoirng is providing about the throughput numbers of documents like sales orders, deliveries or backlog figures indicating that there are erronuous documents or documents that need manual intervention. Looking at this last aspect it is clear that a second target group is key players on business unit side, like sales reposnibles, plant owners etc.
On interface side you can monitor IDocs, qRFCs, Batch Input session for certain statuses, check if files arrived or do some XI messaged based alerting.
BPM in Netweaver is a technical layer deeper and based especially on XI/PI. So this is an integration engine itself. When you look at the capabilities of XI/PI where you can split or correlate messages with ccBPM this is related to so called integration processes which could be a more detailed sub-process from what is looked at BPMon in SolMan. Other aspects that BPM in Netweaver is supports is Business Activity Monitoring BAM which cannot easily explained with a few sentences. But here the target groups with BAM are either real business end-users or C-level management for business efficiency analysis.
Hope this answer could clarify a few things.

Business process (Integration) monitoring - Solution Manager?

Hi Experts
I have a requirement here for business process monitoring at my client. The client wants to have a solution for monitoring of few key business processes for example incoming orders. The flow data flow is as follows: third party system -> AS2 -> XI1 ->XI2 -> MQ->ERP. Ideally, all the incoming messages should be processed within 3 minutes of sending by thirdy party system. The basic requirement from business to have a view of the number of messages sent by the external system and numbers of orders created in the system and if there is any message with processing time of more than 3 minutes, it should be reported. Also, if there is any failure in any of the points of failure - the reason of failure needs to be reported
I am thinking of using solution mnaager diagnostics and willy introscope for collecting data from XI Adapter framweork and Integration engine and the ERP system.
My queries -
Can solution manager fetch the data from non SAP system - AS2 service/MQ etc? if yes, how?
The solution i am thinking of - is it good one or is there any better solution - light weight/performance efficient?
In case i go ahead with the approach mentioned above, would there be an extra licensing cost for installing SMD agents and Willy on different applications?
Can we do a simple reporting i ERP system by fetching data from XI1 & XI2 systems? I understand that it wouldnt give us any details of the Java components or non SAP applications, but keeping in mind the limitations, is it a viable solution?
Any inputs would be great.
Regards

HI Ethan,
I'm not sure about the BPMon framework in Sol MAn 7.0 if it can be used with PI or not. I remember from teched that the end-to-end monitoring for PI was available only in 7.1 and with SAP PI 711.
From what I know wily gives you information about the status on the system (CPU, memory consumption etc) and not about the message flow so you can still use it but for the technical monitoring set up.
Also in teched I have participated at a hands-on workshop (ALM361 [http://www.sapteched.com/emea/edu_sessions/session.htm?id=542]) where we enabled the BPMon framework to use webservices provided by a non-sap application.
Hope this helps.
