BW Monitoring
The following are typical challenges faced by BI Support teams to keep track of data load, system issues and stability
- Process chain status summary: Users need to log in the system and take stock the success and failure of process chains
- Managing daily status report: Report generation of daily status of process chains is a painful task in BW. The user needs to login to the system and extract the data in spread sheet, before updating and presenting it to management
- Dependency on EWA report: Management relies more on Early Watch Report to get application and system level information.
- Hourly system metrics: Non-availability of system information for Basis administration on an hourly basis
