Hi Ambati,

The most useful transaction code for monitoring production issues in SXMB_MONI

Also you should use message monitoring tool of runtime workbench to check for health of messages for both ABAP & JAVA Stack of XI (PI).

I suggest you configure alerts using alert configuration for all scenarios in production so you can receive alerts whenever there is any issue in a production scenario or interface. You can find multiple blogs and articles on alert using PI.

Hi,

Well certainly there are NO free-defined production issue but there are no of area that you might require proactive monitor at regular intervals.

Tcode: SXMB_MONI

1. Process XML messages u2013 Standard and Process (check for message failures, determine if ABAP or Java related)

2. Job Overview

3. Persistence Layer Analysis (Observe growth day to day, no sudden jumps).

4. Tcode: SMQ2, SMQ1 (check for blocking)

5. Tcode: SM66 (no long running DIA)

6. Tcode: SM21, ST22 (look for unusual errors)

7. Tcode: ST04 (Overview - hit ratios)

8. Tcode: ST06

1. CPU (no overloads)

2. Memory

9. Tcode: ST03 (Workload overview. Response times, special attention on DIA, HTTP)

10. Tcode: SMICM (for each server: look for Current/Peak/Maximum values and make its not Peak is not hitting MAX)

RWB:

1. Message Monitoring u2013 Database (overview) -Integration Engine and Adapter engine (Look for unusual errors)

2. Performance Monitoring u2013 last 7 days/Daily (look for volume jumps)

More inportantly if you have Wily INTROSCOPE in your environment look for trends in messages, garbage collections, etc.

And more in detail documentation on 'Process Integration PI 7.1' Trobleshooting Guide

Hi Sekhar

When do we use transaction ST04 ? Why do we need to use it ?

Also how do we check the Current/Peak/Maximum values in SMICM and why should we do that ?

st04 gives the number of times the cache is being hit.

Just going to tcode smicm gives Current/Peak/Maximum values.

Both are used to monitor the performance of the system. For instance if the system is unusually slow, these monitoring features can give you good idea of whats happening behind the scenes.
