BI monitoring scenario
This picture shows a typical BI scenario (between backend systems and end user). Two monitoring levels are provided:
Backend Systems
/ Data Sources
e.g. SAP ERP
SAP Data
Warehouse
Systems
(SAP BW)
Process Chains
Info
objects
BO Web Application
Server Systems
End user
BO Jobs
Reports
BOE Web
Application
Queries /
Templates
Monitored BI objects (process chains, queries and templates in SAP BW system; jobs in BO system)
Monitored systems in BI scenario (BW systems, BO server systems, BO web app server systems)

BO Web Application
servers may be selected
of type Tomcat, SAP J2EE,
WebSphere
Only objects from selected technical systems can be monitored in a BI monitoring scenario (example: if

Status:
Usage: If a BO job must not run into an error
Alert: You can specify, if you want to get an alert if the BO job runs into an error
Example: Defined value is TRUE, if the BO job has finished unsuccessfully you get an alert
Not started on Time:
Usage: If a BO job must not start later than a fixed point in time. Can be used for daily / less frequent executions
when scheduled on fixed time basis where the start time is always the same. Currently not usable for jobs running
multiple times per day or on different times on different days.
Alert: You can specify the latest point in time of a day and the max. allowed number of minutes to be late for the
start
Example: Defined time is 14:00 and max. delay 5 min, if the bo job has not started until 14:05 you get an alert
Out of time Window:
Usage: If a BO job has to run in a fixed time window. Can be used for daily or less frequently executed jobs without
a time based schedule (event based) where the expected time window is always the same. Currently not usable for
jobs running multiple times per day or on different times on different days.
Alert: You can specify the time window in which the BO job has to run and the maximum number of minutes allowed
to miss it
Example: Time frame 04:00 07:00, 10 minutes, if the BO job starts before 3:50 or ends after7:10 you get an alert
Duration:
Usage: If a BO job must not run longer than a specified time period (defined in minutes).
Alert: You can specify the number of minutes BO job can run
Example: Duration 120 minutes, if the BO job runs longer than 2 hours you get an alert
23
Keep in mind that the data collection time frame may need to be adjusted if the
job schedule is changed
