Executing the Purchase Order Process

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to execute the purchase order process

Integration Process Overview

You have created a big integration process with several processes, which are all integrated at the end.

The main challenge beside creating this working process is to keep them up and running in the business.

We have already discussed the monitoring, now we focus on the lifecycle.

The Java Log Viewer

  • J2EE Engine Log — The J2EE Log viewer allows you to search for exception IDs and time constraint issues.
  • Process Log — The Process Log provides information about execution times, process outcomes, and individual steps. You can display basic or detailed log information.
  • Business Log — The Business Log contains information about Business Process Management (BPM) processes and tasks and can be used to identify problems. It includes the history of tasks and processes.
  • Connection Log and Tracing — The Connectivity Log and Tracing helps analyze problems with Web services and RFC calls.

You can filter and sort of the results of the view you choose. Use the content filter to search for a known exception ID or time constraints. Use the filter row for a direct filter (for example, your application name).

The Log Viewer in NetWeaver Administrator is used to access the runtime logs of Java Applications. The data contained in the logs represents a low-level trace of any application running on AS Java and includes the applications that provide your Web services and the BPM engine itself.

To start the Log Viewer, choose Problem ManagementLog and TracesLog Viewer, then choose the logging source (for example, SAP Logs).
