How does eG Enterprise Monitor SAP BusinessObjects Data Services

eG Enterprise monitors the SAP BODS in both agent-based and agentless manners. To obtain all the critical measures pertaining to the performance of the SAP BODS, it is recommended that you use eG’s Agent-based Monitoring approach. eG Enterprise employs dual monitoring approach to monitor BODS, for tests specific to Data Flows, Job Execution, Repository and Webservice connection, it uses Webservice to connect and pull monitoring data from BODS.
