  • Monitoring of integration related exceptions
  • Support of peer-to-peer interfaces  as well as orchestrated integration
  • Closes gap between business and IT during problem resolution process (technical issue vs. business issue) by:
    • Alerting to notify responsible persons in business and IT about discovered integration related problems
    • Search and track single messages based on exposed business context attributes e.g. order numbers
    • Operations Automation to trigger operation flows context sensitively for automated correction of problems

  • Real User Monitoring (PDF)

  • Synthetic User Monitoring (PDF)

Real User Monitoring

  • Real User Monitoring provides transparency regarding performance as experienced by end users as well as the utilization of business functionality
  • Performance data is measured at frontend and server side to identify of root cause of performance problems (frontend, network, cloud service and/or on-prem system)
  • Utilization of SAP Passport technology allows to correlate performance data measured at frontend, cloud service and/or system side

Synthetic User Monitoring

  • Synthetic User Monitoring monitoring is based on scenario that reproduce typical end user access to a web application to monitor
  • As the scenarios are based custom Selenium IDE scripts, most of the web applications are supported.
  • Proactive detection: Scenarios are regularly executed on Selenium remote webdriver infrastructures. This 24/7 monitoring enables you to detect performance and availability issues early, potentially before the end-users face them.
  • Factual metrics: monitoring relies on the same scenarios being re-executed. This allows you to monitor the evolution of the performance and availability based on comparable metrics.

  • Job & Automation Monitoring (PDF)

Job & Automation Monitoring

  • Job & Automation Monitoring ensures business operations without disruptions and increases the business process execution quality and performance:
    • by monitoring job executions health and detection of anomalies during job execution
    • by directly alerting both business and IT users on disruptions and exceptions
    • by providing details at job execution level to enable fact based root cause analysis

  • ​Provides embedded analytics to identify the root cause of discovered problem​
  • Health Monitoring is planned to be enhanced with embedded alerting including pre-defined operation flows to trigger corrective actions e.g. service restarts​

  • Business Service Management (PDF)

Business Service Management

  • Business service as collection of technical services (cloud service tenants or system clients) to represent business functionality
  • Definition of customer specific maintenance events at business service level
  • Propagation of externally communicated maintenance, disruptions or degradation events e.g. as exposed by Cloud Availability Center from technical services to business services as resulting business up/down times
  • Definition of service times based on service level agreements/ service contracts on business service level -> Measurement of actual availabilities at technical service level and consolidation to business service level -> Calculation of compliance to defined SLA's on business service level
  • IT related events e.g. maintenance notification defined at business service level will be cascaded down to technical service level e.g. users of involved technical services will receive maintenance notification

  • Intelligent Event Processing (PDF)

Intelligent Event Processing

  • Intelligent and unified processing of events coming from SAP Cloud ALM, other SAP sources or 3rd party senders (inbound unification)
  • Centralized and simplified configuration for event handling and routing rules (outbound unification) e.g. usage of same communication rules for alerting & business service management

Business Process Monitoring

Business Process Monitoring

The Business Process Monitoring app in SAP Cloud ALM for operations supports the detect-to-correct lifecycle of SAP Cloud solutions along the end-to-end processes of the Intelligent Suite.

Business process monitoring aims to provide transparency about the end-to-end process health based on predefined key performance indicators (KPIs). It enables both line-of-business users and IT users to directly identify business process disruptions across the entire system landscape, and to react to anomalies before critical situations arise.

The objective of this app is to ensure smooth business operations without disruptions, and to increase the quality and performance of the business process execution.

For further details see the overview presentation.

The following end-to-end processes based of the Intelligent Suite are supported:

  • Recruit to Retire
  • Lead to Cash
  • Source to Pay
  • Design to Operate

Objectives

Business Process Monitoring (BPMon), as part of SAP Cloud ALM for operations, provides transparency over the end-to-end processes of the entire Intelligent Suite.

BPMon monitors the processes' health and detects anomalies during process execution and enables both LOB and IT users to directly identify process disruptions and react to them:

  • Identify business disruptions and exceptions in process execution based on pre-defined key performance indicators (KPIs)
  • Identify technical issues which have direct impact on mission critical processes with technical monitoring

This ensures smooth business operations without disruptions and increases the business process execution quality and performance.

Scope

  • Offer transparency into end-to-end processes based on predefined business process KPIs
  • Provide out-of-the box real-time monitoring across the entire Intelligent Suite
  • Reduce implementation effort by auto-discovery of relevant business process KPIs
  • Receive automatic alerts and provide automated corrective actions
  • Enrich operational business process information with application monitoring information
  • Predict business process anomalies before business is impacted
  • Process information will be retrieved from SAP Cloud ALM for implementation
  • Continuous development of further business process KPIs based on APIs provided by SAP Cloud Applications

Business Process Monitoring Setup & Configuration

Business Process Monitoring Setup & Configuration

On this page you can find details on prerequisites, setup, housekeeping, and customer support details for Business Process Monitoring in SAP Cloud Application Lifecycle Management for operations.

Prerequisites

Before you can monitor your processes with Business Process Monitoring in SAP Cloud Application Lifecycle Management, you have to connect your subscribed SAP cloud services to your SAP Cloud ALM instance.

For SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business Suite you need ST-A/PI version > 01U_731.

Please follow the Enabling SAP Cloud ALM APIs guide in SAP Help  to retrieve your API keys (Clientid and Secret) and Host Name which you will need during the configuration.

Setup

To setup Business Process Monitoring please follow the monitoring setup guide:

  • SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Edition

  • SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition

  • SAP S/4HANA On-Premise Edition

  • SAP SuccessFactors

  • SAP Business Suite

Housekeeping

As a Process Monitoring Administrator , you can now manage the retention time of single business documents and aggregated data as follows:

  • Retention Time (days) for Single Executions : Defines the time period for which data is retained for single executions (detailed business documents) for throughput KPIs.

    Enter a value between 1 and 30 that is up to half as high as the retention time of aggregated data.
  • Retention Time (days) for Aggregated Executions : Defines the time period for which data is retained in the aggregated data history. Once the retention time for aggregated executions has passed, the data is deleted.

    Enter a value between 2 and 365 that is at least twice as high as the retention time of raw data.

The specified retention times are valid for all monitored systems and services.


Be aware that SAP provides you in fair usage concept 8 GB HANA memory per month. If you extend the given memory you might need to subscribe additional memory blocks with our BTP service SAP Cloud ALM memory extension.
