Managing and monitoring Broker docs

, ,
1

Hi ,

I’m trying to find a way of monitoring, managing and
reporting on the document flow in my wM6 solution
It sends docs to a shared Broker and uses triggers to
process them on either of 2 Integration Servers within a
cluster.

During installation I defined a separate DB for ISCoreAudit
and this functional alias tests OK using Administrator
Settings > JDBC Pools

I’ve also changed the server.cnf files of both Integration
Servers to included the properties required for Logging i.e.
watt.server.auditStore=database
watt.server.auditLoadSchema=true
watt.server.auditLog=verbose

and also enabled Broker Document Type logging within the
Broker administration pages using
Broker Server > Brokers > myBroker
Clicked on Enable Document Type Logging

Looking at the ISCoreAudit DB I can see that rows are being
inserted by wM6.

Using Broker Administrator I can also examine Broker Clients
and Queues using
Broker Server > Brokers > Broker myBroker > Clients

All this provides part of a management solution but I also
need to ensure I see all failed/rejected docs.

To test this I run a few documents through my system cause
triggers to invoke a variety of services that either
complete ok, throw exceptions, or throw run-time exceptions.

When I try to examine the result using the Monitor, I’m
unable to see ANY BrokerEvents using wM Monitor
Monitor > Documents > Enterprise Document Query.

I can also not see any documents using the Administrator
“Document Store” interface ie.
Settings > Document Stores >View and Delete Rejected
Documents.

  1. Do you have any idea what the problem could be or how
    else I could find a way of managing/reporting on the
    document flow ?

  2. Is there a way of moving the DocumentStore to a database
    (and how is this done) ? - surely it can not be safe to rely
    on the default filesystem backed DocumentStore.

(Apologies for the long post, but I wanted to be as clear as
possible)

You can set the Audit Log on the Service to log begin,end,and error and since the Audit Log eventually dumps to a RDMS, it should be viewable of failures at a Service level. (shameless plug) For an effective Queue Management tool, you can try to win the wMUsers contest or check out VIC Queue Manager at www.visualintegrator.com for a free trial version.
