Process Monitoring Question

Is there a way to poll an application/process/service daemon to see if it is running more often than it is set by default ?
People at my company thinks the crashed application is not polled often enough

Sure, under 'Authoring' you can override the default polling interval (300) for any UNIX/Linux process. I believe (5 seconds) is the minimum but you do want to be careful as decreasing polling intervals can really add to the load on the SCOM server. I would
experiment and see what works best for your environment.

I receive this in my test lab and in a live environment. Both environments are running Operations Manager 2012 R2 and I have imported the latest management packs which are 7.5.1042.0.
I am full administrator at the server and operations manager level. So what is it I am missing?
Thanks.

Agree with Steve, Upgrade to last UR, This issue is related to Management Pack so that Check correct version of Management Pack which is compatible with SCOM 2012R2

Queries on Business Process Monitoring (BPM) & Interface Monitoring

Dear all,
I have got a few queries on the subject and would greatly appreciate any valuable inputs.
Before I proceed, want to clarify that I have downloaded all overtly available documents (PDFs, SIMs) from the following URLs:
http://service.sap.com/rkt-solman
http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager Media Library
http://service.sap.com/bpm Media Library
I may not have read them all though since I come from a Functional angle.
Kindly reply to whatever query you can please. Not all of them are sequential.
Queries:
(1) How are Interfaces with External Systems (beyond the firewall of the enterprise) monitored ?
(2) Is it really worth listing all such External Systems as Logical Components in their own right ? I guess this makes sense if at a Process Step level, one wants to list a 'specific' Logical Component involved instead of 'generic' term like External System. However, it would benefit only if Interface Monitoring is feasible; isn't it ?
(3) There are Interfaces which are built between SAP and External System and serve various Business Processes under various Business Scenarios. In such circumstances, it is not easy to list which Process 'owns' the Interface. Therefore, under a normal Implementation Project structure (SOLAR02), choosing a particular Process Step, getting into 'Development' Tab and listing the Interface Program name may not be feasible, since there is no particular place where it belongs.
Is it therefore a good idea to create namesake Scenario for capturing all interfaces and list a library of all interfaces and store documents right there ? If so, will these namesake processes be of any use in BPM at a later date ?
(4) If my primary objective is to accomplish Interface Monitoring and not Business Process Monitoring per se, is it a good idea to create a new Solution Landscape, and manually create Business Processes that are suited to list Interfaces than to assign Template or Implementation Project to the Solution Landscape, and inherit those Processes ?
(5) What is it that a SAP Competence (Support) Centre will find as a 'major' gain in activating BPM to monitor Interfaces alone - is there something that SolMan's BPM based Interface Monitoring gives more than what PI level reporting may provide them with ?
(6) In Interfaces with Non-SAP Systems (some of them are old/ proprietary legacy systems with Credit Card companies; some of them are like 'Active Directory' servers), is it possible to define Metrics for BPM that such systems will contribute to SolMan, for reporting purposes ? Or, is it too much to hope for
Thanks again, for your patience and advance thanks for your kind responses.

Hi,
Welcome to BPM
You have asked too many questions in a single Post, Please read rules of engagement before posting
You can monitor the following without any trouble.
● ALE/EDI
● qRFC
1) Its obvious, if your firewall blocks all your request to external enterprise, it is not possible to monitor.
3) These interfaces are not the one related to development tab in SOLAR02, you have to map them from BPM.
4) Yes, you don't have to depend on any project for your processes, you can add it in your Solution Landscape.
5) Post a Separate Thread!!!
6) Post a Separate Thread!!!
Hope this gives a better idea.

Business Process Monitoring: restrict authorization to confirm alerts

Hello Experts,
I am working with Solution Manager's Business Process Monitoring and I am now facing these questions regarding roles and authorizations to allow/forbid alert confirmation:
- What is the authorization mechanism behind alert confirmation in BPM? Is a specific authorization object involved when pressing the button "Confirm selected"?
- Is it possible to adjust roles (if no standard role is available) in order to have, for example,
--Role1: give users the authorizations to walk through DSWP transaction, see business processes' alerts and confirm them
--Role2: give users the authorizations to walk through DSWP transaction, see business processes' alerts but NOT allow them to confirm any alert?
Our Solution Manager version:
SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SP22)
ST-PI 2008_1_700 level2
ST-SER 701_2008_2 level 6
ST-A/PI 01M_CRM570
I hope I managed to explain my doubts properly; any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your support,
best regards
Paolo

Hello Paolo,
it is the first time that I hear that request. Can you explain what your use case is? Why would you allow some users to see and analyze alerts but do not let them confirm the alerts if the problem is solved?
As the user/date/time is logged if somebody confirms you have the transaparency who confirmed which alert at what point of time.
I think that currently no such split in authorizations is supported but perhaps you can find something in the securtiy guide.
Best Regards
Volker

Business Process Monitoring via MAI

Hi Experts,
Currently I am exploring the new Business Process Monitoring via MAI (Monitoring and Alerting Infrastructure).
I have setup monitoring objects and I am getting the required alerts.
Need your help for following questions:
1. What is the configuration required to send data to BW? For Classic Business Proces monitoring we select 'Keep Data in BW' under Alert Reorganizations. Is there any such configuration in case of BPMon via MAI ?
2. In which cube is the alert data saved in case of BPMon via MAI ? (For Classic BPMon it is 0SM_BPM)
3. Is there any configuration guide available for BPMon via MAI ? I have already referred to the presentations on the same.
Please help me to get the answers.
Best Regards,
Kavita

Hi Keiji,
As always, your answers have helped us. Thank you for the quick response. Can you help me with the name of the table where BPMon MAI alerts are stored (just like we have DSWP_BPM_ALERTS for classic BPMon alerts. I have searched this table but could not find the BPMon MAI specific alerts.
FYI, BPMon MAI is configured and is working fine and I am able to see the MAI alerts for the configured Monitoring Objects.
Thanks again for the information provided.

Kavita Meswani

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.

RWB - Process Monitoring - Statistical Data

Experts,
I've just discovered the abilities of PMI (via RWB). now, when i monitor interface (end-to-end) activties (via Process Monitoring) i have few un-solved questions, what is the meaning of status "Open" (for displayed process)? i haev 2 processes, both are activities of same interface (and configuration scenario) which has different status (Open vs. Successfully Completed). how come?
i went throw http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ac/e4f428b0929c4485bb79b008f7ddfd/frameset.htm, which did not elaborate (what status open is).
please advise,

Style library files give Path Not Found in Process Monitor (sysinternals)

Hello,
i have a question, i am using Process Monitor to diagnose SharePoint performance issues.
I am getting a lot of the following types of messages
11:27:54.3064738 w3wp.exe
3160 CreateFile
C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\WSS\VIRTUALDIRECTORIES\{site}443\SITES\{SC}\STYLE LIBRARY\BRANDING\JS\BOOTSTRAP.MIN.JS
PATH NOT FOUND Desired Access: Generic Read, Dis, Options: Sequential Access, No Buffering, Attributes: RE, ShareMode: Read, Write, Delete, AllocationSize: n/a, Impersonating: NT AUTHORITY\IUSR
This only occurs with files stored in SharePoint (Style library/document libraries), i have seen this behavior on multiple servers so it appears to be working by design, does anyone have an explanation as to why this happens? is there also anyway to stop
this happening?
my concern is that this happens on every page load accumulating to a lot of wasted disk reads.
Thanks for your time!
Ben

This bootstrap is usually for the CSS/ SharePoint styling. It may have some code to access this path. While I checked on my environment, it seems I am not seeing this actual path, and from my registry editor as well.
Please have a check if it should have the same path at your environment. If not, I do believe some of the code are directing to the path, and since the path is not available, then the issue may appear.

Business Process Monitoring with SAPCCMSR Agents

Hi
I have installed a SAPCCMSR Agent in a non-sap system to monitor log files.
This is the configuration about a particularly log file:
LOGFILE_TEMPLATE
DIRECTORY="E:\LOG"
FILENAME="senddata*.txt"
PATTERN_0="error"
VALUE_0=RED
MONITOR_NEWEST_FILES=1
In this folder every day, log are created (with name senddata-DD-MM-YYYY) and I would like to monitor only the last log produced to search for error.
When the agent run, it creates a monitor in rz20 with the name of the current log(for example senddata-08-09-2014).
Tomorrow when a new log will created, the monitor will change its name (for example in senddata-09-09-2014).
I also want use business process monitoring to create a monitor and assign the mte in rz20.
When I choose from a list which monitor assign, it give me the name of the ccms monitor that have the name valid for today(senddata-08-09-2014).
The problem is that tomorrow this MTE will change its name and will invalidate my monitor in bpm.
I tried to insert manually the value in bpm monitor like ...../senddata*/.... to see if dinamically, it will acquire the monitor with the name in rz20.
But this doesn't work.
Anyone have an idea on how monitor this?
Thanks very much & Best regards
Marco

Hi Mark,
When the agent run, it creates a monitor in rz20 with the name of the current log(for example senddata-08-09-2014).
"senddata-08-09-2014 " - Is this the name of your log file created on OS level everyday ?
If yes, then why not after every log switch after end of day, a file with name sendata replaces its old content with the contents of current logs ?
This "replacing" is scheduled to run every 5 mins from OS level(cron script) and it picks the name of the file using current date method ?
In this was you will have your monitor with same name.

Divyanshu

Using ARIS process models as the foundation for Business Process Monitoring

Hello,
Do anyone know if you can use IDS Scheer ARIS process models and the integration between IDS Scheer ARIS and SAP Solution Manager as the starting point for end-to-end Business Process Monitoring (BPM) so that you get the process description/model automatically in Solution Manager BPM and just need to configure the monitoring (more or less that you monitor against the modelled process in ARIS)?
Is there an API for SAP Solution Manager BPM so that non-SAP solutions/systems can be part of the end-to-end process monitoring?
If not, how do you usually integrate non-SAP solutions that are part of an end-to-end process that you want to monitor into SAP Solution Manager BPM, or do you not use Solution Manager BPM for this?
What is the roadmap for SAP around SAP Solution Manager BPM when it comes to non-SAP systems/applications/solutions and the new SAP NetWeaver BPM functionality?
Regards,
Markus Johansson

Hello Markus,
I just paste my answer form the other forum entry Re: Business process management strategy in SAP?
in a nutshell BPM Netweaver is focussing on so called edge-processes (usually
SOA-based and often workflow related). These edge-processes a thought to enhance exisitng core business processes and should provide the fast competitive edge versus competitors. Examples would be also xApps. For this Netweaver provides process modelling tools, where you can get exectuable code through the integration between CE and PI. The monitoring part for these processes is mainly targeting business end-users and business manager.
Business Process Monitoring with Solution Manager focusses on core business processes which are realized with the "conventional", "old" SAP Architecture, e.g. Order-to-Cash or Procure-to-Pay. You get a combination of technical monitors (average response times of transactions, background job runtimes, monitors for IDOC or qRFC processing) and application related monitors (you get more than 200 pre-configured application monitors out-of-the-box like number of overdue customer orders or outbound deliveries or number of deliveries with goods issue posted but no invoice). The target group here is the support organization of the customer, from Basis-Support over application support on IT side to process owner on business department side.
Overview presentations can be found under
https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Library --> Customer Information -->
"Business Process Monitoring - Part 1 & 2".
Or look under https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-processmonitoring
In the end BPM Netweaver and BPMon SolMan are complementary for different purposes and different target groups.

Unable to see system process request page, process monitor page

Hi all,
We refreshed our test instance with prod recently. sysaudit and ddd audits were clean except for the following entries in sysaudit which i thought wasnt of much significance here.
SEC-30) Role User table (ROLEXLATOPR) should be populated when new User Profiles (entries in PSOPRDEFN) are created
sing User Profile component through PIA. The following User Profiles need to be fixed by simply opening and saving
hem through PIA:
per ID     Description
OPP_PORTALADM     Common Portal Administrator
OPP_PORTALMGR     Common Portal Manager
OPP_USER     Common Portal User
3 Total Rows
On logging to the superuser VP1, am not able to see many pages, such as system process request, process monitor and also do not have access to user profile page.
The upgcount was matched with prod instance and didnt find any issues there. For the same profile in prod, the user has access to all the above mentioned pages. In the cloned copy, no user has access to these pages.
We checked the permission lists and roles attached. They are all in place as the same user is able to access the pages in prod instance.
Could it be webprofile issue. We tried clearing the webserver and appserver cache and bouncing them. the webserver in use is websphere and OS is AIX.
Appreciate any valuble feedback i can get on this.
Thanks

Here's just a thought.
Do you know if it is a security problem or a portal problem? I mean is the issue just that the links for Process Monitor, etc. don't show up in the menu, or does it give you a not authorized message?
Here's the thought:
Try to hit these links by pasting them into your browser:
http://localhost:80/psp/HR90DMO/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/PROCESS_SCHEDULER.PRCSMULTI.GBL
http://localhost:80/psp/HR90DMO/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/PROCESSMONITOR.PROCESSMONITOR.GBL
Make sure that you change:
- "localhost" for your servername
- "80" for your port
- "HR90DMO" for your weblogic domain name
If you can see the page, we need to look at your portal setup or portal security, maybe run Portal Security Sync. If you get an error message, can you post that message, and maybe we need to check the main security setup, etc.
Hope that helps at least get a little further toward a solution.

Process monitor alert to include process id and or user

I set up a SCOM 2012 process monitor from the process monitoring template, that now quite nicely alerts me when an instance of a process consumes too much CPU or too much Memory from the host. The problem I have now, is that I have 15 Remote Desktop
Service hosts that my customers log on, to run this process, and an average of 45 users per RDSH. While it's nice to know which server has the process running too high, what I really need to know is the user and/or PID of the offending process. I easily have
this process running 45 times per RDSH throughout the day. If I knew the PID or the user, I could much more easily find my process, and with user, I could even shadow my user via my service broker to see what's going on. As it is now, I have to myself RDP
to the server, pull up task manager, sort by offended instance (memory or CPU), to find the task. Then, find the user/pid associate, go back to the service broker and shadow the session to determine the cause.
I there a fairly simple way to get the PID or user information from the process to show up I the alert? I would think it pretty basic to expect that if I monitor a process, I want to the at least the PID of that process in the alert...and preferably
the user. Other suggestions to accomplish this? I want to be able to hand these alerts (via notification) off to my support folks, so they have enough information to resolve the issue, without jumping from RDSH to RDSH.
Thanks in advance!

Monitoring proxy abap in business process monitoring

Hi
Expert. Iu2019m working with Business Process Monitoring in my Solution Manager 7.0 sp20.
I would to monitor the communication between SAP ECC and SAP PI.
SAP ECC and SAP PI communicate by proxy.
I would know if can I monitor the proxy abap using SAP PI Message Error Monitoring based on Message-Based-Alerting (RWB).
I have just defined the alert category in abap stack and in RWB. In RWB I have inserted all information in u201CConditionsu201D fields and in the u201CWhere did the error occur?u201D fields I have chose:
Integration engine : XI Proxy
Error Code: *
Is this the correct procedure to monitor a proxy abap?
Thanks a lot
Giou2019

Hello Giovanni,
The described procedure looks correct in general. If you have set any restrictions in "Conditions" fields than you will only monitor on these specific message. If not all message will be considered which turn into a error status on the ABAP Proxy.
For information regarding the PI/XI Message Based Alerting please refer to service.sap.com/bpm -> Media Library -> Technical Information "Setup Guide - Interface Monitoring".
Best regards,
Maciej

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.
Best Regards
Volker
