Web AS 6.40 - key architecture points

J2EE stack

SQLJ layer for database connectivity

All objects stored in database

SLD is delivered with the J2EE Engine

UME for user management

Middleware

JRFC replaces JCo for J2EE to ABAP connectivity

ABAP stack

Integration Engine is part of BASIS (and corresponding support

packages)

Tracing and logging

J2EE-based components of XI use standard logging of J2EE Engine

Setup via Log Configurator Service in Visual Administrator tool



Standalone Log Viewer UI

Connect to any number of WebAS servers (ABAP/J2EE)



Integrated Log Viewer UI

Accessible via J2EE Visual Administrator tool



Trace and Log Files for the XI J2EE components

Under /cluster/server0/log/applications/com.sap.xi

repository.log

directory.log

mapruntime.log

rwb.log

xi.log

repository.trc

directory.trc

mapruntime.trc

rwb.trc

xi.trc

Default trace file for entire J2EE Engine:

/cluster/server0/log/defaultTrace.trc



Trace and Log Files in the ABAP Part

RUNTIME-LOGGING parameter under

SXMB_ADM > Integration Engine Configuration > Specific Configuration.



Trace and Log Files in the ABAP Part

Usage of logging parameter:

You set this parameter when you want to analyze message processing as it

enables you to document either individual steps, or all steps in a pipeline.

The parameter TRACE_LEVEL enables you to locally set the trace level for

all pipelines in an Integration Engine.



Defining Conditions and Actions for Troubleshooting

In the Integration Engine, you can specify conditions for troubleshooting in

inbound messages that trigger particular actions (Example: Writing trace and

log information to a file).

The procedure for creating a conditioned action is divided into the creation

of one or more conditions and one or more actions.



BPE trace

In case of any problems or error situations it is recommended to

turn on tracing by using transaction SWELS



Additional performance considerations

JRFC reduces J2EE memory overhead for mapping step (from

9-10x down to 3x message size)

Simple transformations (ST) reduce the overhead for

conversion between DDIC structures and XML in proxy

framework

Large messages go to a special queue

no impact on performance of average-sized messages
