Operations
The following table lists the key features for operations with SAP Cloud ALM.

For detailed information and guidance on how to use these features, refer to the in-app help.

Key Feature Use

Integration and exception monitoring Integration and exception monitoring enables you to monitor data exchanged among
services (public or private) in both cloud-only scenarios and hybrid scenarios within the
selected scope.

It includes the following capabilities:

Report component-specific, business-impacting exceptions.

Follow a call or message sequence from a sender to all intended receivers.

Process alerts and start registered workflow instances.

Business process monitoring Business process monitoring enables the detect-to-correct lifecycle of SAP Cloud
solutions along the end-to-end processes of the intelligent suite.

You can perform the following activities:

Monitor the health of your business processes in real time with the help of
predefined business process key performance indicators (KPIs).

Access information about business documents for each of your processes, for
example, for reporting purposes or root cause analyses.

Define event definitions and process alerts for KPI threshold violations.

Health monitoring Health monitoring displays the most important health metrics defined by the monitored
services and systems.

Use it to check the correct function of a monitored entity. It covers the functional
aspects, like availability of components, utilization of resources, or reported errors. This
distinguishes health monitoring from real user monitoring, which concentrates mainly
on performance monitoring.

In case of an issue an event is triggered; and you can configure automatic event
reactions, like alerts, email notifications or automatic execution of a procedure.

Real user monitoring Real user monitoring permanently measures all real user requests from your managed
SAP solutions. The monitored services and systems send monitoring data to SAP Cloud
ALM covering performance as well as utilization aspects. Also, real user monitoring
offers drilldown possibilities from the global use of selected request types to single
executions and execution details.

In case of too many http errors an event is triggered; and you can configure automatic
event reactions, like alerts, email notifications, or ticket creations.

Synthetic user monitoring Synthetic user monitoring displays performance and availability issues of your
applications even before end users are affected by automatically executing your
Selenium IDE scripts on a regular schedule.

In detail, the following functions are available:

Upload Selenium IDE files containing groups of test scripts.

Define runners, which are the components executing the tests of the scenarios.

reactions, like alerts, email notifications or automatic execution of a procedure.

Notification management Notification management enables you to manage the receiver of email notifications
regarding operations with SAP Cloud ALM.

Intelligent event processing Intelligent event processing enables you to manage event processing rules. You can
create new rules, edit existing rules, deactivate and delete rules when they are not
needed anymore.

Job and automation monitoring Job and automation monitoring helps you to evaluate the status of automated actions
and background jobs.

Workflow automation Automate operation and error handling procedures:

Register SAP workflows.

Start workflow instances.

Job status management Job status management provides you an overview of all jobs scheduled for a specific
