Hi all,
Here I am going to discuss the IDoc monitoring with the help of Solution manager Technical monitoring. This guide will help you to define a proper way to create IDoc monitoring and defining the threshold with the help of solution manager.
As we all know that IDoc is a very important parts between data interchange between SAP system. So monitoring of IDoc will give you less amount of risk losing business information.
I have seen in many client that IDoc is being monitored but we don't know exactly at what situation what needs to be monitor. So here I am going to present a brief rigorous description of IDoc monitoring via Solution manager.
In systems with high IDoc volume (table EDIDC has 10 million or more entries), IDoc monitoring can result in high response times.
The latest version of the IDoc monitoring data provider supports optionally a delta mode. With "deltamode" active, only the number of IDocs that have been updated since last monitoring data collection are monitored instead of always taking into account all IDocs. This will drastically reduce runtime. Also monitoring functionality is improved as now IDoc monitoring alerts are only raised if new errors occurred since last monitoring run.
Please follow the steps below to use the new deltamode.
1. Ensure that the support pacakge of your SAP Solution Manager System is SP05 or higher.
2. Ensure that the coding corrections from SAP Note 1729771 (version>=29) are applied in the managed system.
3. Ensure that you apply the latest monitoring templates in SAP Solution Manager as explained in SAP Note 1690352.
4. Up to Solution Manager 7.1 SP8, 6 IDoc monitoring metrics are delivered by default:
a) Number of IDocs in error status
b) Number of IDocs in error status older than 2 hours
c) Number of IDocs in intermediate status
d) Number of IDocs in intermediate status older than 2 hours
e) Number of IDocs in intermediate status last 15 minutes
f) Number of IDocs in error status last 15 minutes
Please activate only the following metrics in the monitoring templates:
Number of IDocs in error status last 15 minutes and
Number of IDocs in intermediate status last 15 minutes.
The other default IDoc monitoring metrics do not support "DELTAMODE" and are only included to support backward compatibility. They should be deactivated in case of performance problems with IDoc monitoring data collection.
There is SAP standard way to define the IDoc monitoring via Solution manager. I am attaching the SAP document here for as a referral.
