Currently, the following monitoring applications are supported for SAP Process Integration (Java):

Prerequisites

  • Install SAP Cloud Connector in your SAP Process Integration (Java) system network (find more information here)

Setup Steps in SAP Cloud Connector

Connect SAP Cloud ALM Subaccount

  1. Go to the Cloud Connector Administration page
  2. On the "Connector" page* choose "Add Subaccount" 
  3. Connect your SAP Cloud ALM tenant

* Please note: if the SAP Cloud ALM tenant is the first subaccount in this cloud connector you will automatically be forwarded to the "First Subaccount" page.

Add Connection to SAP Process Integration (Java)

  1. Go to Cloud Connector Administration → <SAP Cloud ALM tenant> → Cloud To On-Premise → ACCESS CONTROL
  2. Click the '+' button to add a new entry:
  3. Enter the SAP Process Integration (Java) system as system of Back-end Type: "SAP Application Server Java"
  4. Press "Finish"
  5. Select the entry for your SAP Process Integration (Java) system
  6. Note down the value of the column "Virtual Host" for later use
  7. In the section "Resources Of <SAP PI (Java) system>" press the '+' button
  8. Enter the following values:
    1. URL Path: /mdt_soa/frun with Access Policy: Path And All Sub-Paths
    2. URL Path: /AdapterMessageMonitoring/basic with Access Policy: Path And All Sub-Paths
  9. Press the "Save" button

Verify SAP Web Dispatcher Rules

If you use an SAP Web Dispatcher in your landscape you have to make sure that the requests can be routed successfully. To be able to connect successfully to SAP PI (Java) system, please verify that the following paths are permitted in your Web Dispatcher:

  • /mdt_soa/frun/*
  • /AdapterMessageMonitoring/basic/*

Setup Steps in SAP Process Integration (Java)

Create Technical User

Create a technical user for the data collection and assign a custom copy of the following SAP roles
  1. To collect PI monitoring data: SAP_XI_MONITOR_J2EE and NWA_READONLY
  2. To collect message payload: XI_FRUN_GET_MSG (Available with SAP PI 7.31 SP17+, SAP PI 7.40 SP12+, SAP PI 7.50 SP05+)
