Trace an SAP CPI message step by step

Updated · by the iGlow team at StellarClouds

Short answer: Open the message in Integration Suite's Monitor and click iGlow's Walk through. You see every step the message took, how long each one took, and where it failed. If the iFlow runs with log level Trace, you also see the body, headers and properties at each step, and what changed between steps.

Steps

  1. For full detail, set the iFlow's log level to Trace in Monitor and send the message again. SAP keeps the Trace level and trace data only for a short time.
  2. Open the message in Monitor and click Walk through.
  3. Read the path: each step, its time, and the step that failed.
  4. With Trace on, see the body, headers and exchange properties at each step, and what changed since the previous step.
  5. Ask iGlow's chat about it, or click Fix to start the fix flow.

Without Trace

Without log level Trace, the walk-through still shows the steps and times from SAP's run steps. On the iFlow canvas, iGlow's heat map shows where messages fail and which steps are slow. Both are free and use no AI.

Questions

How do I see the payload at each step in SAP CPI?

Set the iFlow's log level to Trace, run the message again, and open it in Monitor. iGlow's Walk through shows the body, headers and properties at each step and what changed.

Does tracing send my data to the AI?

No. The walk-through runs in your browser. Only if you ask the chat about it is a short, masked excerpt sent.
