Which one to use when and why during a scenario in XI??

Thanx

Hi,

The basic difference are.

RunTimeWorkBench resdes on the Java Stack and so allows you to see the flow of your message from the Adapter Engine ( on Java Stack ) to the Integrtaion Engine ( on ABAP Stack ), and again to the Adapter ENgine ( on Java Stack).

SXMB_MONI runs on the ABAP stack allows you to monitor the message flow only in the ABAP stack / Integration Engine.

SXMB_MONI helps you to find any error in the xi steps. But it will not tell you if you have any errors on the adapters.

So for checking any errors on the adapters and the errors for communicaiton channels we need to go with RWB.

RWB enables a central monitoring of the XI server which has multiple features which SXMB_MONI tcode doesnt provide - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7c/14b5765255e345a9e3f044f1e9bbbf/content.htm

Both RWB and Sxmb_moni are both used for monitoring purpose only...where as when take Runtime workbench you can have different options which xi provides...like component monitoring,Performance monitoring,End to End monitoring,message monitoring...etc..but where as in sxmb_moni you can able to see the xml messages only.
