queue and comm channel monitoring APIs

[Former Member]

I've seen this question asked before with an answer that there are great SAP and third-party tools for this already.  That answer about third-party tools helps me to believe it may actually be possible to do what I want.  In any case, please bear with me in that I am sure I want to do this, regardless of available SAP or third-party tools.

I need to create custom monitoring tools to display queue statuses, comm channel statuses, etc.  I might, one day, like to even have queues restarted or comm channels started or stopped directly from my tool but if I could just create the custom views into system health for our customers that would be a great start.

I'd like to be able to see the number of messages in a queue, details about the messages in the queue.  For comm channel monitoring, I'd like to be able to see if it is started or stopped or in automatic control.  For queues and comm channels, I'd like to be able to see error messages for the last or current error.

If I can't get all of what I want, I am hoping I can get some of what I want.  It seems that all this information must certainly be available by APIs since the web based monitoring tools, and possibly third-party tools, are able to display this information.  If not by APIs then what about in SAP tables?

Any help in how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Dale

What the heck; it's been almost a year so I thought I'd bring this back to the top in the hopes of getting some help.  Certainly many or most SAP customers would like to do some custom monitoring of PI performance and processes.

Dale,

SAP PI exposes web services which can be used to retrieve channel status, message status and more.

Thanks, Raghu.  That looks like what I am needing.
