Ths gives ways of monitoring the performance, but there is no report to say how many queues have processed in a timeframe, as far as I know (I'll double check this and confirm this by tomorrow). We've never found this to be the most helpful apporach in pefomance monitoring, anyalysis of RFC performance issues or load testing. Usually it's more meaningful to know rate of transfer of sales orders, or BPs etc which can be more easily checked and has more relevance to meeting your business requirements.

RFC logs are can be viewed in the dev_rfc* files in ST11, and the dev_rd (dispatcher log) is also a useful reference for RFC analysis

There is a performance check in RZ20:
SAP CRM Monitor Templates -> CRM Middleware. Here you will see specific perfomance for CRM inbound and outbound queues.

You can also use ST03 - this shows the workload at BDoc level under the 'CRM Workload' section.

There is no direct equivalent for the ECC. However, ST03 also does show the RFC load on each application server on the ECC side.

Web services Testing

SOAP UI

SOAP UI is good tool to test web services.  Get 'binding WSDL' for the webservice from SOAMANAGER, and save it as xml file.
Open SOAP UI  -   create a new project  - give the wsdl file
To setup certificates - Go to File->Preferences->SSL certificates.  (check below link)
http://geekswithblogs.net/gvdmaaden/archive/2011/02/24/how-to-configure-soapui-with-client-certificate-authentication.aspx

In SAP

Go to SE80 -> Enterprise services -> Service definition -> give service definition name
Test (Click on 'Test')
Get template -> Edit and give parameters

Setup EDI idoc (Standard)

How to setup new EDI idoc (Standard)

Step 1:  Find relavant Idoc type and Message type - This is based on business process.
Dropbox -> CMS -> EDI Idocs -> 'EDI with EDIFACT - Mapping Types' doc can help  - Or just search in internet

Step 2: Go to WE19  - > Get template for Test based on Messag type

Step 3: Get an idea on what to fill in template using WE60 tcode (look for Documentation)
You can also find XML templates in internet for message type.

Step 4: Run and make sure it works.  Now, note down if you require any additional fields.

 

EDI Idocs files

Path:  Dropbox -> CMS -> EDI Idocs

Basis Tcodes

SUIM - User Info system
SU10 - Mass change of User data (address, auth etc)

Certificates in SAP

STRUST is tcode to setup certificates in SAP

You can setup SSL certificate for your web service and then share the certificate details with third-party , so that to establish secure connection.  - Set for everything.. Import and add to Certif list

After the certificates are set , then do a restart of ICM(smicm->admin->ICM->Restart->Yes).

And to map certificate to user id, Go to SM30 -> view VUSREXTID, type=DN -> maintain user id for certificate and tick 'Activated'.  Also check if the userid has erquired authorizations.  'Min date' - better make it blank.. we faced some issues - as sometimes certificate valid date may go beyond that, and you forget to change this.

SSL Certificates

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SSL-Certificates-HOWTO/x64.html


What is SSL and what are Certificates?
The Secure Socket Layer protocol was created by Netscape to ensure secure transactions between web servers and browsers. The protocol uses a third party, a Certificate Authority (CA), to identify one end or both end of the transactions. This is in short how it works.

1. A browser requests a secure page (usually https://).
   
2. The web server sends its public key with its certificate.
   
3. The browser checks that the certificate was issued by a trusted party (usually a trusted root CA), that the certificate is still valid and that the certificate is related to the site contacted.
   
4. The browser then uses the public key, to encrypt a random symmetric encryption key and sends it to the server with the encrypted URL required as well as other encrypted http data.
   
5. The web server decrypts the symmetric encryption key using its private key and uses the symmetric key to decrypt the URL and http data.
   
6. The web server sends back the requested html document and http data encrypted with the symmetric key.
   
7. The browser decrypts the http data and html document using the symmetric key and displays the information.

Several concepts have to be understood here.

Private Key/Public Key:

The encryption using a private key/public key pair ensures that the data can be encrypted by one key but can only be decrypted by the other key pair. This is sometime hard to understand, but believe me it works. The keys are similar in nature and can be used alternatively: what one key encrypts, the other key pair can decrypt. The key pair is based on prime numbers and their length in terms of bits ensures the difficulty of being able to decrypt the message without the key pairs. The trick in a key pair is to keep one key secret (the private key) and to distribute the other key (the public key) to everybody. Anybody can send you an encrypted message, that only you will be able to decrypt. You are the only one to have the other key pair, right? In the opposite , you can certify that a message is only coming from you, because you have encrypted it with you private key, and only the associated public key will decrypt it correctly. Beware, in this case the message is not secured you have only signed it. Everybody has the public key, remember!
One of the problem left is to know the public key of your correspondent. Usually you will ask him to send you a non confidential signed message that will contains his publick key as well as a certificate.

Message-->[Public Key]-->Encrypted Message-->[Private Key]-->Message

The Certificate:

How do you know that you are dealing with the right person or rather the right web site. Well, someone has taken great length (if they are serious) to ensure that the web site owners are who they claim to be. This someone, you have to implicitly trust: you have his/her certificate loaded in your browser (a root Certificate). A certificate, contains information about the owner of the certificate, like e-mail address, owner's name, certificate usage, duration of validity, resource location or Distinguished Name (DN) which includes the Common Name (CN) (web site address or e-mail address depending of the usage) and the certificate ID of the person who certifies (signs) this information. It contains also the public key and finally a hash to ensure that the certificate has not been tampered with. As you made the choice to trust the person who signs this certificate, therefore you also trust this certificate. This is a certificate trust tree or certificate path. Usually your browser or application has already loaded the root certificate of well known Certification Authorities (CA) or root CA Certificates. The CA maintains a list of all signed certificates as well as a list of revoked certificates. A certificate is insecure until it is signed, as only a signed certificate cannot be modified. You can sign a certificate using itself, it is called a self signed certificate. All root CA certificates are self signed.

Webservices tcodes

Traces:

SRT_UTIL - To monitor web service calls  - > Click on 'Error Logs'
SRT_UTIL - We can configure (set up) logging for a user for particular service definitions - helps in logging (performance, functional, payloads). Set 'Functional trace' to 'Low' for user in Configuration tab. Then check in 'Funct Trace' tab for logs.

Webservices need to be set up in authorization role (if WEBUSER soesnt have SAP_ALL).
ST01 - this can be used to see what authorizations are missed for WEBUSER (user for webservices)

SMICM-> Goto->Tracefile->display all
SMICM -> Goto -> Trace level (Level 3 is highest)
SAP note 495911 - to trace errors for Logon problems
After setting logs (level 3), if you set system parameter (rz10) icn\trace_secured_data to '1' (TRUE), then you can see SSL data in logs.

SAP note 1292171 - Troubleshooting Guide: ABAP Web Services Runtime  (is good)


SOAMANAGER -  You can use this tcode as well to check logs (it is similar to SRT_UTIL)

SE80 - Go to 'Edit Object' and then check for Enterprice services - Service definition

STRUST -  To setup certificates  After the certificates are set , then do a restart of ICM(smicm->admin->ICM->Restart->Yes).

SICF - Maintain services

SMICM - ICM monitor   (SMICM-> Goto->Tracefile->display all , SMICM -> Admin->ICM->Restart  , SMICM->Goto->Connections )

 

Host name, Port name details

To get host name from SAP:

Tcoed: SICF -> GoTo -> Port Information

You can also call FM /SDF/GET_ICM_VIRT_HOST_DATA

CRM Tips

- BSPWD_COMP_EXT - table to find enhancements for a spot

- To find all shortcuts in WEBUI - ctrl+Alt+shift+F2

SAP Basis general knowledge

The components SAP_BASIS and SAP_ABA as also SAP_BASIS tell you about NW release. SAP_APPL will tell you about your ECC release. if it is 605 then you have an EHP5 system.


Support Pack - This is a bunch of SAP notes - when SAP thinks there are a bunch of notes (corrections) on current version, it releases all of them in a Support Pack

Enhancement Pack  -  This is more of an 'Application Enhancement' than a correction - New applications/functionalities can be inreoduced during new Enhancement pack upgrade.

ECC release -  No new release came after ECC 6.0  -  New release is very rare - but can come with considerable changes  - SAP stops supporting older versions (not completely, it depends on how old) when a new one is released

Kernel patch level - 4 methods to find out what level your kernel patch is
1. at OS level just type at command prompt disp+work -v then it displays kernel version or
2. at OS level just type R3trans -t then you will get or
3.at R/3 level login into sap from System menu -> select status then click on bellow arrow mark then you will get or
4.goto SM51 T-code then click on release notes button then you will get
