The Business Process Monitoring (BPMon) functionality within SAP Solution Manager offers the possibility to monitor the availability and reliability of business processes maintained in a solution landscape with a wide range of different monitoring object types in different business areas.
The Trend Analysis Reporting is an additional feature which can be used within BPMon by using the Business Intelligence (BI) functionality included in Solution Manager as a SAP NetWeaver 7.0 system
- to store monitored data as of measured values and assigned alerts for a long-term availability
- to display monitored data in a graphical chart for a period of time to visualize a trend
- to enable further analysis of stored monitored data with usage of Business Intelligence tools
The Trend Analysis Reporting dashboard graphics chart (see figure 1) allows its user to track the history of alert data and measured values in time of each monitoring object activated in a specified solution maintained in the BPM Setup of Solution Manager.
