Monitoring Business Processes and Documents
The Sterling B2B Integrator Admin Console enables you to view information about business processes that interact with remote Sterling Connect:Direct® nodes. Correlation records are automatically maintained so that you can search for specific information (such as, business process IDs, document IDs, workflow IDs, and mailbox IDs). Each business process references a unique business process ID as its primary process identifier.
Tracking and Search Functions
The tracking and search functions available to track Sterling B2B Integrator business processes, Sterling Connect:Direct processes, and Connect:Direct adapter activity are described in the following table:
Business Process Detail
The Business Process Detail page is accessed from any page that contains the business process ID. This page provides a progress report about a specific business process instance. In addition, you can stop or restart the business process from this page.
Current Process Monitor
Selecting Business Processes > Current Processes opens the Monitor page with a list of the processes currently running in Sterling B2B Integrator . A Green status indicates no errors or warnings occurred during processing. A Red status indicates errors or warnings encountered during processing. Use this page to do the following:
Current Activities Monitor
Selecting Business Processes > Current Activities opens the Service Activity search page. The Service Activity page enables you to monitor activity of several adapters, including the Connect:Direct Server Adapter. When you select an adapter to monitor, activity detail occurring on the adapter is displayed.
Correlation Search
Correlation searches are a key to relating a Sterling Connect:Direct Process with a Sterling B2B Integrator business process. Whereas Sterling Connect:Direct identifies a process with a Process Number and a Process Name, Sterling B2B Integrator identifies its business processes with an Instance ID. The Correlation Search enables you to search for Sterling B2B Integrator processes using Sterling Connect:Direct identifiers.
