Name Description
DATE_VALUE ISO 8601 representation of a date
STATUS_NAME A value in {complete, partial}

Detailed Information

The metriclist command allows you to view and inspect the product usage information by searching for the number of:

  • charged items (or charged transactions) generated per day in the SAP CC Core Server system
  • subscriber accounts managed per day (created, modified, deleted) in the SAP CC system and its back-end database

The usage information of the SAP CC software product is associated to all the productive SAP CC systems in your production system landscape. It relates to the output business traffic (daily loads) and volume of master data configured in an SAP CC system.

If no argument is specified, the metriclist command returns the list of all the measures.

Note

The usage metric concept differs from the performance and health metric concept that is used to monitor the SAP CC systems in CA Introscope (IS) for SAP and in SAP Solution Manager.

The user interface displays the following data table:
