XPI inspector tool is used to collect traces and logs from Messaging system or XI module.
Note: It does not do any modification on the system. Also, it doesn’t store any user credentials.
SAP recommends using the updated version of the tool. So, check note 1514898 – XPI Inspector for troubleshooting SAP Process Orchestration / Integration and download the latest files attached.
Download below 2 files and place them under /usr/sap/<SID>/

How to stop active XPI inspector session?
If you are unable to stop an active XPI session, then you may follow the below steps to kill the application instead of restarting the complete Java server.
- Go to SAP Netweaver administrator (NWA) –> Operations –> Start & Stop –> Applications
- No search for the “XPI Inspector App” and click on “Restart”.
This will kill all the active sessions.
3. You may also kill the active PID on the windows server using “Task Manager”.
And if you still face any issues, you may directly create an incident with the SAP under component BC-XI-CON-AFW.
