Use

The configuration work center includes the following options for configuring your system:

      Application Modules

This is a solution that contains details of the deployed applications as well as several types of modules (such as Web and EJB modules) where configuration settings can be viewed and altered.

      Application Resources

A possibility such as this allows applications to make use of external resources. Application resources can be configured as well as created and deleted by the administrator.

      Virtual Hosts

A solution like this can act as several different Web servers responding to different URLs, but referring only to a single real IP address. A user can gain flexibility by providing different configuration settings for each of the virtual hosts that can be both created and configured.

      Logon Groups

This is where logon load balancing, which increases the efficiency of various workgroups that have been defined, can be performed. To improve performance and system resource consumption, users are distributed across available application servers based on the requirements of the workgroup service and load sensitivity. Each SAP application has different resource requirements, therefore certain applications that may require more servers and logon groups can be created and configured in this view.

      System Properties

Information is organized in a tree view containing all the important configuration data of the selected systems, such as the VM settings and services configuration. This is an informative view only. To change the configuration of a system, use the local configuration tool.

      Log Configuration

It is necessity to change and configure the granularity of logging data that is viewed in the Monitoring work center, and you can do this with this solution. If a user chooses to retrieve more data for a certain logging category, he/she may decrease the corresponding log severity from an alert level to “Info”. A filter mechanism helps find the categories and destinations for modification. As it is important that unnecessary, finely granulated data is not logged, the Log Configuration allows you to control all severities structured in a tree-like view. A user will be informed of the logs that may fill up quickly and can re-configure the severity settings after discovering a problem using a tracking period.

      SPNEGO Configuration Wizard

You can use the configuration wizard for Kerberos Authentication with the Simple and Protected GSS-API Negotiation Mechanism (SPNego) for a guided approach to enabling users belonging to a Kerberos Realm to log on transparently to the AS Java with Single Sign-On.

      Trusted Systems

The trusted systems configuration functions of the SAP NetWeaver Administrator enable you to use wizard-based management of trust relationships for SSO with logon tickets. You can use the wizard to add a new trusted system (ticket-issuing system) or to check and update the certificates of the systems in your Trusted Systems list.
