Business Process Monitoring - Monitoring Types Nodes missing

I am making the setup of the Business Process Monitoring. I have created a scenario, a process and a step. Bui I have a big problem I am not able to solve: when I select a monitoring type for the step I have created (e.g. Application Monitor, Background job, Dialog Performance etc), I know that a subnode should appear under the step node but in my case this does not happen and I am not able to configure the monitoring type (No subnode appears under the step node even if I select all the monitoring types).
Someone knows which is the problem? Is there some missing configuration or it could be a Support Package problem.
I will appreciate your help so much. Please, do not esitate to contact me for any further clarification.
Thanks
Antonello

Hi,
in the workflow definition you can suppress the node to be listed in the Monitoring. Check the the relevant nodes please.

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.

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.

Business Process Monitoring-Value table

Dear friends,
I am working with Sol Man 4.0, SP12.
In SOLUTION_MANAGER t.code, in the screen of Business Process Maintenance, iam finding the the following tabs
1. Steps of process-Partially display
2. Seasons (Peak Months)
3. Process availability...etc
In that screen, i am choosing the tab "Steps of process-Partially display" then under the column. "Details", i am choosing the check box.
At that time i am getting folowing information
"Value Create transfer posting in column Step Type not listed in value table"
In which value table, i have to include the process step?
Thanks

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 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

Business Process Monitoring (Job Monitoring)

Hi all,
I have some business processes being monitoring. Most of them are background jobs and we are monitoring delays, cancellation, duration...
My problem is that we have an external tool (CONTROLM) for job scheduling.
That means that jobs are not released directly in SAP, but they are in status scheduled and when the start condition (in the external tool) is reached, controlm makes a copy of the scheduled job and start it in SAP.
I have succeded to have the alerts working checking the option of "start job condition" , but some times I receive alerts like this one: "Job Name with schedule date 16.09.2010; not yet started" even if job is started and finished correctly.
Anyone knows what could be the problem? Or why are we receiving these "fake alerts"?
Best regards,
Virginia

Hi Virginia,
if you work with external schedulers and use start condition "Start by time" then you have to ensure that the maintained Planned Start Time in BPMon is earlier than the actual Start Time coming from the scheduler. If you use start condition "Use job start condition" this problem cannot occur as every job is picked up that fits the naming criteria. But there you cannot check for the start delay (business wise) but only system wise.
In general you have to ensure that either the latest SP for ST-PI plug-in is installed on your backend system or the latest SAP notes (component SV-SMG-MON-BPM) related to ST-PI are implemented. Only then you can ensure that no "funny" behaviour occurs when it comes to job monitoring.

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.

Monitoring Business Process

Hi,
First of all, sorry for my English but I will try to make my best!
I'm new to JCAPS.
I'm doing a simple BPEL flow in eEnsight. I want monitoring it.
I have setted the persistence but into Emanager page i don't see the windows: Business Process Instance Monitor tab.
Any idea?
Thanks for yours help.
Diana

Hi Diana
- First, connect enterprise manager to your integration server
- Second, navigate in left menu in server hierarchy to your BP
(for example: Java CAPS - J2EE - Servers - localhost:1800 - [project] - [deployment] - [cmap] - [pageflow/bp/jcd])
- Then, click on this bp or pf or jcd. This is your "Business Process Instance Monitor".
IF you see nothing at this time on the right, you have to install plugin
Do it this way:
- Configuration (that "services" icon above hierarchy)
- Web Application Manager
- Auto install from repository
- url = http://localhost:12000, Administrator/STC (default)
- Connect
- Select All or at least "eInsight Enterprise Manager Plug-In"
- Install
hope it helps
If you see no instances in your Business process instance monitor, you didnt enable persistency in enviroment - intergrationserver properites -einsight engine configuration and bp/pf/jcd properties

Business Process Set up - Begineer Questtion

In our company we are planning to implement business process and monitoring in coming months. I am from the basis admin group and would like to know from the system side what need to be done to implement the Business process in SLM.
What my understanding is that Business Analysts create type of work flow using these Process to create a model of the business process . Once these work flow are created for each business process ,IT can setup alerts on these process in order to timely react to the situation if some issue occur in any flow.
This what i am looking from experienced folks who have implemented this in there company.
1. A more detailed information on this process from a Basis Admin point of view
2. What is required from System side to make SLM ready to implement Business Process
3. Any Document or guide can someone provide when they had setup the environment or point to the URL
4. Any other information which one can think of someone who is beginner to understand this concept
Thanks

Monitoring Types on Business Process Monitoring

Hi All
I am currently busy with setting up business process monitoring in our company.
I have gone through all the steps and am currently at a stage where I have to test the monitoring types.
Can anyone please explain what kind of information is required on the monitoring types and if you can also give me a brief explanation on the different kinds of monitoring types and what exactly the do because when I am trying to set them up, nothing is happening and I am not getting any alerts.

Information on Business Process Monitoring

Hello experts,
I want to know if there is a way to monitor spool jobs in business process monitoring or other tool? I assume that I can monitor background jobs with BPMon but I don't find where I can monitor the content of the spool generated by the job?
I read also that job management can monitor jobs, but for the task "monitoring", it refers to BPMon.
Can you please tell me if I can do it? because I read in some doc that it is possible but no way to find how.
Thank you in advance for your help.
BR,
Mohamed BOUSSAID

Hello Mohamed,
the job monitoring does not allow the monitoring of a spool file as it is an unstructured TemSe file. If you have important information to monitor you should write it into the job log and classify it via message class, message type and message number. Such structured information can be easily monitored via BPMon.
Monitoring the content of a unstrucutred spool file which can easily get several MB is too performance expensive and hence not supported.

Creating Custom Monitors in Business Process Monitoring

Hi all,
I have configured business process monitoring in our Solution Manage EP1 box for our Production ECC5 server. The standard monitoring types such as Application Monitor, Due List, Background Job Monitor and their corresponding monitors work OK, but my question is how can I create my own monitor?
For example, under Application Monitor type, there is a monitor named PM/CS Orders which has some things like Orders in phase released and Orders in state created etc, but what I need is to report on PM Order if the order did not get Technically completed 3 hours after the last operation was completed, for example.
Is there a way to do that?
Thank you,
Sergiy

Hi Sergiy
As you may realized, application monitoring objects are predefined.
And its check is basically conducted day basis.
In the coding it check like, basic finish date or planned finish date,
delivery date etc. (So, not detail level check like operation completion date).
This is because (off course it also depend on the data volume),
basically the data collection frequency of application monitor is
expected not too often. Since data collector publish SQL,
if you have many data and configured to collect data quiet heavily,
it can affect system performance of satellite system.
so normally to check the backlog from previous day or more longer period,
it is expected. Thus once a day or twice a day is normally expected for
data collection(Off course, if data volume is not large, little bit more
frequency might be possible).
so daily check is considered as reasonable for application monitor.
(TBI:through put and backlog indicator)
If you really want to enable your requirement, as you are looking for
you need custom exit. And it enables your requirement.
In this case, you need to define customize in satellite system
through the program /SSA/EXM and you need to define your coding
that fit with your customize and requirement in the program
Z_BPM_ECU_COLLECTOR.
There is a document how to develop custom exit of bpmon in service
market place. So I recommend you to check the document at first.
http://service.sap.com/bpm
=>Technical document
==>Setup Guide - Customer Exit
also, there are past forum posting like following.
Re: BPMon - User exit monitoring
but first, please consider standard monitoring object can be used somehow.

Setup Business Process monitoring does nothing

Hi BPM Experts,
i am new to BPM and trying to launch the setup of Business processing from Solman_workcenter. I have provided all appropriate roles and have configured the system in SMSY. I have completed the Creation of the solution and documented the business process via transaction dswp. now when i click on "Setup Business Process Monitoring" it asks me to select the active solution, i select the solution i had created and then i expect it to launch another session but it does nothing" did i miss something.
regards
Yogi

Hi Yogi,
After choosing a Solution you have created it should display a new SAP window showing "Change "Setup BPM - "". If you are not getting it you can do it in 2 ways.
1) Go to transaction DSWP select the solution that you have created, towards left choose "Operations Setup-> Solution Monitoring-> Business Process Monitoring-> Setup Business Process Monitoring" and then you can setup your BPM.
2) If you want to do it via Solman_workcenter transaction then 1st open dswp select the solution towards left choose "Operations Setup-> Solution Monitoring-> Business Process Monitoring-> Setup Business Process Monitoring" and come out of that screen without setting up the BPM then open solman_workcenter transaction select "setup BPM" and then choose the solution that you have created and click on Ok. It will take you to the same screen as in Step 1.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Raghavendra.
