Useful SAP Middleware transactions

SAP CRM Middleware uses Business Document (BDoc) messages when transferring data between systems.
Sometimes problem during the replication requires monitoring the Middleware. SAP offers standards tools to
monitor BDoc errors messages in the system. The most used transaction is SMW01 (Display BDoc messages)
accessed via menu path Middleware>Monitoring>Message Flow>Display BDOC Messages. However there are
other useful transactions in the system.

summarising all errors founded in the system.
The result list not only show the Bdoc Type but also the component affected that is useful

Tx SMO8REORG Delete processed BDocs

This transaction allows deleting BDocs logs from the system. It could be run in a test mode and filtered
by BDoc Type, BDoc Message ID, User or change date/time. Cleaning the log will allow users to focus on
unresolved system issues.

In summary, middleware problems are usually based on configuration. Always have a look not only to the
middleware configuration but also to the component configuration. Using monitor tools, issues in more detail
could be checked and knowing the "Application Component", a better filter could be used when looking for SAP
Notes.
