Registering a CCMS Agent SAPCCM4X

Use

To monitor an ABAP instance of an SAP system, use the CCMS agent SAPCCM4X. This agent creates an alternative connection route between the monitored instance and the central monitoring system (CEN). Since this alternative connection method no longer requires a free work process, the access route is independent of error states of the ABAP instance and is therefore more robust.

Procedure

1. Log on to the host of the ABAP instance as <SID>adm (UNIX) or SAPService<SID> (Microsoft Windows), to ensure that the agent can access the shared memory.

2. Copy the CSMCONF start file to the working directory of SAPCCM4X.

   This is in the following location:

   1. MS Windows: [drive]:\usr\sap\<SysID>\<inst.dir.>\log\sapccm4x

   2. UNIX: /usr/sap/<SysID>/<inst.dir.>/log/sapccm4x

      If the directory does not exist, create it.

3. The executable SAPCCM4X is located in the following directory:

   1. MS Windows: [drive]:\usr\sap\<SysID>\SYS\exe\run

   2. UNIX: /usr/sap/<SysID>/SYS/exe/run

4. In the directory of the executable, enter the command sapccm4x –R pf=<profile path> .

5. During the registration, the system displays specifications from the CSMCONF file to you again for confirmation. Confirm the specification by pressing the ENTER key in each case.

   You only need to enter two parameters yourself:

   1. The password for the administration user in CEN, under which you created the CSMCONF file.

   2. The password for the CSMREG user.

6. Under UNIX, you must ensure that SAPCCM4X is automatically started again when the host is restarted.

   To do this, enter the following command in the inittab ( /etc/inittab ):

   /usr/sap/<SysID>/SYS/exe/run/sapccm4x -DCCMS pf=<profile path>

7. To check whether the agent is successfully registered with CEN, call transaction RZ21 in CEN, select Agents for Remote Systems , and choose the Display Overview option.

   The agent that you have just registered appears in the list, in the row SAPCCM4X.<host name>.<inst. no.> .
