Analyzing Problems Using ABAP Short Dumps: Part II
It's panic time when your ABAP program writes a short dump in a customer system. Experience has shown that developers tend to rush right past the ABAP short dump in their eagerness to start looking at the problem.

This pair of weblogs explores the diagnostic aids and information resources that an ABAP short dump offers, and how to get the most help out of a dump.

Slipstream - Live Dashboarding for SAP NetWeaver BPM (“Galaxy”)
One of the value propositions of an SOA is to combine and reuse services.

This also enables us to run analyses at any point within the process and visualize the results in real-time instead of implementing awkward hooks into the application code.
