Integrating Unspecific Systems or Cloud Services in
Integration & Exception Monitoring Scenarios

When modeling an Integration & Exception Monitoring scenario it can become necessary to add non-SAP systems or services to the scenario to provide a holistic picture of the integrations within the entire landscape. This page describes how you can add these systems and services as UNSPECIFIC systems and services to Integration & Exception Monitoring scenarios.

  2. Switch the the tab 'Single Customer Network'
  3. Check the selected Customer Network. If it is not correct
