This makes it easier to find and access the connector needed without having to search through all of the connectors.
- ( 3 ) Monitor Activity
- This tile opens the processing details for all enabled integrations. This tile is only visible if at least one connector is enabled in the organization’s tenant. Here, the user can see the activity details for Batch, Real Time, Payload Transport, and Subscription integrations.

Connectors
The Connectors List page provides additional details for both the enabled integration connectors, as well as the catalog of available connectors.

Monitor Activity
The Monitor Activity page displays an Integration Audition Trail, showing the status and activity details of connector upload and download processing, transactions for event driven integrations, and payload transport details.

- ( 2 ) Real Time Tab
- If an organization uses event-driven transactions, you can view the payload from the Real Time tab. These are only applicable for certain integrations and require an integration consultant to set up
- ( 3 ) Payload Transport Tab
- The Payload Transport tab displays the payload details for those payloads generated through a publish subscribe activity. This tab is only related to the Publish/Subscribe section on the dashboard, which is not discussed in this course.
- ( 4 ) The Subscription Tab
- The Subscription tab displays the details of integration subscriptions, or scheduled deliveries, between a client’s external systems and SAP Fieldglass. These are only applicable if specific subscriptions have been defined for a given connector and have been activated.
A number of details are provided through the Integration Audit Trail within the Monitor Activity pages.
- ( 1 ) Activity

If the file is an XML or JSON format, Fieldglass also recommends extracting via a text file.
- ( 8 ) Details
