PI/XI channels
Purpose
PI/XI communication channels must be monitored to detect transmission errors. This monitor will watch for channels with error status.
Configuration hints
This monitor has to be assigned to a Web portal connector to the target SAP system, with user credentials having access to the PI/XI channels view.
With this monitor, you will have the possibility to detect and to be notified when a Channel has not an appropriate status. With the surveillance table, you can customize how the channels will be monitored and how you will be notified. Channels can be monitored based on their service, channel name and party or a particular log text. You can actually monitor two states: activation state and channel state. A disabled severity will filter out the channels matching the filters, for all subsequent lines.
