Understanding Using the Integration Network Monitor

System administrators use the Integration Network Monitor to monitor integrations among other PeopleSoft systems defined in the integration network. Many of the pages and functions of the Network Monitor resemble those in the monitoring pages of the Service Operations Monitor. The major differences are that with the Network Monitor you are not limited to monitoring activity on the local node; you can monitor activity any remote PeopleSoft node defined in the network.

Network Monitor Features

The Network Monitor provides the following features:

Status on queues, nodes, and individual service operations.
Control and administer domains that have publication and subscription (pub/sub) servers running against the current database.

You can activate or deactivate domains, recover from stalls, and so forth.

Continue to use the Service Operation Monitor to perform the following tasks:

View and edit XML.
Archive data.
Run batch processes to receive notification of issues affecting the messaging system.
Administrative tasks, such as administer domains, view and maintain queue status, delete orphaned data after segment batch processing errors, define custom components for monitoring activities, and so on.
