There are several out there, but the major ones are:

• Tivoli
• Lamba Probe (Tomcat monitoring)
• SAP Labs: Business Objects Enterprise Probes (I believe this is being integrated into the next release - public knowledge)

I know there are a couple others out there. MikeD’s pretty on top of this stuff - he might have a better idea.

Hope this helps.

FYI:

· Enterprise tools are preferable as they oft provide dashboard / historical capabilities to track trends.
· The XI3 monitoring guide provides an intro/overview for MOM probes (pre-cursor to SCOM) so this holds true for the above.

Tomcat - Java Heap & Monitoring

Windows 2003 SP2 I installed XI 3.0 but used a pre-installed version of Tomcat 5.5. Encountered java heap memory issues after every 3 to 5 document refreshes.

How To: XI3 Windows Monitoring

There are a number of discussions re monitoring XI3 so I thought it best to just list some options. Note: these solutions all require additional work so choose wisely as to which strategy to adopt in investing your time and effort. First understand what is running : Use Task manager or Process Monitor or Process Explorer: SAP/BOE Monitoring The download contains a document as to using MOMS, Tivoli and Probes - read this document irrespective of which strategy you adopt as it…

· Activating the Windows resource tool (Server Performance Advisor) should be done carefully - the reports get large - the process starts behaving oddly BUT it has some benefit.
· Dan Price has a monitoring overview on the SAP/BO blog portal:

And then there are a stack of FOSS tools available - but first prize will always be something that extends beyond your BO environment to provide a holistic enterprise snapshot across your core servers …
