PMI Service 

 

The PMI Service is necessary in order to use the SAP Process Monitoring Infrastructure from within the J2EE engine. The PMI Service collects the data from PMI Java agents and sends them to the central monitoring system.

The service has following technical parameters:

·        buffersize := Maximum number of tracking records, which can be held in a memory buffer before flush. Default value: 2000.

·        flush := Time intervall (in ms) for auto flush even if the number of records in the buffer doesn't exceed the number specified by 'buffersize'. Default value: 60000.

In the current implementation, in order to enable the service, an HTTP-destination named pmistore has to be created in the Destinations service. This destination has to point to the URL http://<host>:<port>/sap/bc/spi_gate, where <host> and <port> are the host and HTTP port of the IC manager of the monitored system.

Currently only XI uses the service and the creation of the HTTP destination should occur during configuration of the XI Adapter Framework on the J2EE engine. For XI Process Monitoring, the destination is therefore created automatically.

For additional information about the Process Monitoring Infrastructure consult the PMI documentation.
