With SAP CPS, multiple monitors from different SAP Systems can be watched from one central location. Any monitor or monitor set available in transaction RZ20 can be imported with the job definition SAP_ImportCcmsMonitors. The XAL tab of the SAP System needs connection credentials of an RFC user with sufficient privileges to use the XAL interface of the given SAP System. The required privileges are outlined in Reference SAP RFC User Privileges.

When you submit the job definition SAP_ImportCcmsMonitors, choose a value for the SAP instance parameter and the available Monitor sets and Monitors are available in the respective parameter fields. These fields auto-complete, a character sequence of the name can be entered to reduce the list.

Note Note

This functionality is only available when the XAL tab of the SAP System repository object has been filled.

End of the note.

The following job definitions are available for handling monitors:

  • SAP_ImportCcmsMonitors

  • SAP_DeleteCcmsMonitors

  • System_CreateMonitorTree

The SAP monitoring data can be seen in   Monitoring → Monitors  , alternatively alongside SAP CPS monitoring data, if job definition System_CreateMonitorTree.

You may set a maximum setting for the number of RFC connections, please see the tuning for more information.

XBP 3.0 requires a logical system for the client, see for more information on creating logical systems for clients.
