Troubleshooting Connections to SAP Systems

The process server uses BC-XBP, XAL and XMW to connect to SAP Systems via JCo, each of these interfaces provide an XMI Audit level to diagnose problems. There are 4 Audit Levels, from 0 to 3, by default, the Audit Level is 0. The higher the Audit Level the more information is logged.

Setting the Audit Level

There are two ways to set the XMI Audit Level:

• In the SAP System object in the repository for interfaces XBP, XAL, and XMW. It requires a restart of the process server.
• With the SAP_SetXmiAuditLevel process definition for the XBP and XAL interfaces, requires no restart of the process server, the Queue the process runs in defines the SAP System to troubleshoot.

Warning:

It is strongly recommended to increase the Audit Level sequentially, starting with level 1 and increasing by 1. If you immediately set the Audit Level to 5; bear in mind that the TXMILOGRAW table will fill rapidly.

Inspecting the Log

Use transaction RZ15 to inspect the log.
