Getting Started in CCMS with Informix DBA 

Use

Before starting to use the Computing Center Management System (CCMS) for Informix database administration (DBA) tasks you need to set up certain things.

Procedure

  1. In the R/3 System, check that:
    1. You have authorization for database administration and background job scheduling.

      2. The profiles S_RZL_ADMIN and S_BTCH_ALL must be entered for the administrator. Refer to Authorizations for Profile Maintenance.

    2. External programs are able to run on the database server so that actions on the database can be performed from other application servers.

Refer to Background Processing and OSS Note 8523.
  1. In the Informix database management system (DBMS), check the following:

The DBA Planning Calendar in CCMS uses the Informix data recovery tool ON-Bar or ON-Archive . Therefore, you must correctly configure your chosen tool to successfully use the DBA Planning Calendar:

Refer to Configuring ON-Bar.

Refer to Configuration of On-Archive.

You must make sure that storage devices (for example, tape drives) for archive and backup always have the correct empty tape volume. Otherwise, even if all other preparations and schedules are correct, no data can be secured and you risk losing data in the event of a system failure.

Result

You can now use CCMS to perform tasks for the Informix database. For example, you can now use the DBA Planning Calendar (Informix).
