JMX in SAP NetWeaver

The AE JMX agent facilitates using MBeans in SAP NetWeaver.

Monitoring the Java EE Engine

The status of the Java EE Engine can be queried via JMX.

Limitation: AE cannot use JMX operations or attributes that use SAP-specific classes (for example, com.sapmarkets.bam.application.User) or complex data structures such as lists, maps, or arrays.

The AE MBean Browser in the JXM job displays a maximum of 300 MBeans. A search filter facilitates the search for particular MBeans (right-click the tree structure -> apply filter...).

For example: The number of unsuccessful login attempt should be queried. The first illustration shows this value below the node Security -> Aggregated Data. Therefore, you can filter for "*Security/Aggregated Data/UnsuccessfulLogonAttemptsCount*" in the MBean Browser. Exactly one MBean is returned in the AE environment.

Here you can select one of the following attributes: "Value", "MaxValue" or "MinValue". An AE job can be scheduled that queries the number of error messages periodically.
