Web Intelligence Server Status Test
SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence ensures your deployment meets performance demands and supports standardization efforts by providing an integrated analysis tool for all users. It is a tool built upon a complete, trusted, and agile BI platform that offers powerful, online and offline ad hoc query and reporting.
If the Web Intelligence server is not running or is experiencing errors or is disabled, then critical data cannot be queried from storage and custom reports cannot be built. Likewise, if the Web Intelligence server is not sized with adequate threads, slowdowns in query processing become inevitable. To avoid this, administrators must be promptly alerted when a Web Intelligence server suddenly stops functioning or is about to run out of free threads. This is exactly what the Web Intelligence Server Status test does. This test tracks the overall health and status of the Web Intelligence server and notifies administrators if the server has stopped, has encountered errors, or is disabled. In addition, the test also monitors the thread pool usage of the server and proactively alerts administrators if the pool is over-utilized.
Target of the test : A SAP BOBI Node
Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for Web Intelligence server running in the node monitored.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Test period |
How often should the test be executed. |
Host |
Host name of the server for which the test is to be configured. |
Port |
Enter the port to which the specified host listens. This should be the port at which the web application server hosting SAP BOBI listens. |
JMX Remote Port |
Specify the RMI port number of the BOBI monitoring application.To know the RMI port number of the monitoring application, refer to Enabling the Monitoring Application of the SAP BOBI Platform. |
JNDI Name |
Specify the lookup name for connecting to the JMX connector of the BOBI monitoring application. To know the JNDI name, refer to Enabling the Monitoring Application of the SAP BOBI Platform. |
JMX User and JMX Password |
Enter the credentials of an enterprise authenticated BOBI user belonging to the default monitoring users group. |
Confirm Password |
Confirm the password by retyping it here. |
Node Name |
Specify the name of the BOBI node being monitored. |
Detailed Diagnosis |
To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

Health state |
Indicates the current health state of the Web Intelligence server in the monitored node. |
|
The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:
If the server is not healthy, the detailed diagnosis of this measure (if enabled) provides the process ID of the server Note: By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the health state of the server. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only. |

Server running state |
Indicates the current running state of the Web Intelligence server. |
|
The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:
Note: By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the running state of the server. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only. |

Server enabled state |
Indicates whether/not the Web Intelligence server is enabled. |
|
The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:
Note: By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the server is enabled. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only. |
||||||||||||||||||
Busy server threads |
Indicates the number of server threads that are currently servicing requests. |
Number |
If this measure reaches the configured maximum thread pool size for the server, new requests to the server would have to wait until a server thread becomes free. If this happens often, it may significantly slowdown request processing by the server. In such a situation, you may want to consider resizing the thread pool. |
