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?

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.

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.

Roles for Business Process Monitoring

Hi Expert,
I'm working with sap solution manager and Business Process Monitoring.
It works fine but I need to create particular roles for my users.
I have created one solution with 2 business scenarios (scenario 1, scenario 2) and 10 Business Processes for each scenario.
I would know if exist a role in order to allow user 1 to see only BP in scenario 1 and allow user 2 to see only BP in scenario 2.
I saw roles: SAP_OP_DSWP_BPM and SAP_SMWORK_BPM but I didn't find any suitable authorization object to use.
Thanks for collaboration
best regards
gio'

Hi Giovanni,
the answer is unfortunately no. There is no authorization object available that limits the visibility of business processes. You could only split by solution, so creating two solutions each containing 10 business processes.
In general you can find information about roles and authorizations in SAP note 834534. There are several MS Excel files attached to this note.

Solution Manager upgrade issue on Linux

Hi Alll,
Need your inputs/thoughts on this issue.
We are planning for Solution Manager upgrade from 3.1 to 4.0 and for this the setup and plan is as below:
The production data of the solution manager has been copied as a VMX FILE(VM Player) file on to a test server and we have plans to upgrade that and check and then upgrade on the production system.
The test machine has got a different IP address and hostname. From the test machine when I start the sap instance its affecting the Production machine and dueto which the production will not work until I stop the SAP Instance on the test machine.
It cannot be a IP conflict or hostname conflict as we have them differently on the test machine. But still there is an issue. The IT dept says the issue is with the starting up of the instance and we dont know where to see what exactly is the problem.
I am new to upgradation stuffs, this is my 1st assignment and I am not sure from where to start!!
Can anyone of you tell me where to check for the details?
SOLMAN is installed on a unix machine with oracle 9.2 and we are planning to upgrade it to SOLMAN 7.0
any suggestions on where to look out for the possible issue?

Hi,
I did this a lot and know the side effects a little.
My recipe:
1. Start the copy without network and manage it from the VMWare Console. Change the IP address and make sure all references to the hostname (DNS and /etc/hosts) point to the new one. I hope you're working consistently with hostnames and no IP addresses.
2. Configure the firewall (iptables) on the copied system to block all requests from and to the original production server. If there is any communication with other SAP servers (like monitoring agents, SLD, or others) block this too!
3. Re-enable the network in VMWare.
Alternatively: Can't you simply put this in a VLAN or a real seperated network with just the server and a management workstation?
Hope that helps..

Using SOAP-JMS binding for business process

Hi all,
We are currently designing one business process which consume MQ messages. The MQ message body is SOAP XML. SOAP Headers carry business specific important data section, so we don't want to loose these headers at any cost. The message consumer is the Websphere process choreographer business process, reading message as a JMS message. When we develop the business process, we are planning to use SOAP-JMS binding. But problem with SOAP-JMS binding is: when the MDB reads the message off the message queue, it strips off all the SOAP headers and delivers only the SOAP body. Is there a way to make this behaviour change to keep the SOAP headers? You may suggest to use JMS bindings, but JMS binding will send the message body as WSIF message (as a serialized java object). I'm not sure of how easy it is to marshalling/unmarshalling of this serialised object. My main concern is around, how to identify the "type" of the message while marshalling. Would writing our own MDB solve the problem? Again MDB's sends messages as WSIF messages to the business process EJB's, which I guess I get stumble across the same marshal/unmarshall problem. Hope I made myself clear of what i'm going trying to do. Any advice is highly appreciated.

Prasad

Time effort to implement Business Process Monitoring

hi,
if one company want to utilize Business Process Monitoring and implement it:
1). what are the Prerequisite
2). if the Prerequisite are met and we come to BPMon part how long it would take to implement one Scenario.
3). any document or links or hints for BPMon Best Practice?
Regards

Hi Volker,
This comment was part of document - Business Process Monitoring Set-up and User Guideline for Release ST 4.0 and ST-SER 700_2007_1.
3 Prerequisites for Business Process Monitoring
Business Process Monitoring is not just activated by pressing a button in the SAP Solution Manager and
therefore the configuration of Business Process Monitoring is currently not intended as a customer selfservice.
Instead, the procedure to set up Business Process Monitoring in the SAP Solution Manager is rather
realized by the delivery of the SAP Solution Management Optimization (SMO) Service for Business
Process Management due to the complex nature of the overall configuration of Business Process Monitoring.
However, it is possible (but not recommended) for customers to configure Business Process Monitoring by
themselves without any guidance of SAP.
Thanks.

Java Business Process Monitoring

Hello Experts,
I want to setup Business Process Monitoring between Solman and ECC system.
Is it possible to setup the JAVA Based Business process monitoring ?.
If its possile how to setup for JAVA Busness process monitoring.
Thanks
Nikkil

Hello Nikkil,
there is no content currently shipped in order to perform Business Process Monitoring for Java components. Can you specify what kind of application you are looking at and what it would be that you owuld like to monitor as part of a business process?
We could then evaluate in what way a corresponding enhancement for Business Process Monitoring could be also useful for other customers.

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.

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,

Business Process Monitoring - Modification of the standard alert mechnisms

Hi All,
Am using Solution Manager 7.0 BPMON and the alert mechanisms used is the email notification from BPM_NOTIF.
Would like to know if the email format can be modified Some e.g of the modification which I am looking at
1) The subject as of now is the standard the Solution name. Can the sbuject be modified to suit what kind of alert this is.
2) In the body there a couple of details which may not be used and some other details may need to be added for e.g for a dialog performance monitor the user id which has hit the threshold is not visible in the alert hence can this be added to the email alert?
Thanks.
Rgds,
Letchu

Hello,
with ST400 SPS23 and hence ST-SER 701_2010_1 it is directly possible to influence subject and body of an email in BPMon. Additionally you can use other BAdIs to further enrich your notifications or trigger "real" auto-reactions. Please refer to the following SDN blog /people/johannes.fleig/blog/2010/06/02/create-your-own-auto-reaction-messages-in-business-process-monitoring-via-badi-exit
