BPM Alerting for WHINT Interface Monitoring

0

Monitoring your interface landscape is important to identify issues and minimize delays and downtimes. With WHINT Interface Monitoring for SAP Process Orchestration you can already monitor the major components of SAP Process Orchestration and Cloud Integration: Channels, Messages, Backend Queues and Cloud Integration iFlows.

With this update you can also monitor active BPM processes and include it into the periodic snapshot of your interface landscape.


Functionality

The following BPM status are monitored and checked against the global threshold configuration:

  • IN_ERROR
  • IN_PROGRESS
  • SUSPENDED

The age of a process (start date & time) is checked in the following way:

  • IN_ERROR: BPM processes in error are checked against the ERROR_MINUTES parameter
  • IN_PROGRESS & SUSPENDED: BPM processes in progress and suspended are checked against the SCHEDULED_MINUTES parameter

Example:

  • Snapshot takes place at 11:00
  • Configuration: Global Filter
    • Errors: Last 120 Minutes
    • Scheduled: Last 180 Minutes
  • There is
    • BPM A in error started at 09:13
    • BPM B in error started at 08:45
    • BPM C in progress started at 07:02
    • BPM D in progress started at 08:05
  • Result:
    • BPM A (age:107 minutes) is reported IN_ERROR
    • BPM B (age: 135 minutes) is ignored
    • BPM C (age: 238 minutes) is ignored
    • BPM D (age: 175 minutes) is reported IN_PROGRESS
