Monitoring Messages

Use

With the message monitor in SAP NetWeaver Administrator, you can monitor the processing of messages on the

local Advanced Adapter Engine. You can use message monitoring in the following cases:

To create an overview of message processing. Message overview gives you an overview of message

processing as well as two different modes for searching for messages.

To track the status of messages.

To find errors that have occurred and to establish what caused them.

You can search for messages that were persisted in the database, or for messages that have already been archived.

Monitoring ABAP Messages

monitor ABAP messages only, you can select the relevant ABAP component in Show Messages By field dropdown

list. You can also use the Advanced filter section to specify the technical attributes for filtering ABAP messages.
