BODS Repository Status Test

In SAP BusinessObjects Data Services (BODS), the repository status refers to the current state and health of the BODS repository. The repository plays a crucial role in storing metadata, job definitions, data transformation logic, and other information related to your data integration and ETL processes. Monitoring the repository status is important for maintaining the integrity of your data integration environment.

This test monitors repository status and reports if the repository is active.

Target of the test : A SAP BODS Node

Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of result for the BODS node being monitored.

Detailed Diagnosis

To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability
  • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.
