Entering Monitored ABAP Systems in CEN 

Use

To monitor remote ABAP systems in CEN you have to create a corresponding entry in the alert monitor. To do this, you have to set up two RFC destinations for the monitored system in CEN. These RFC destinations each serve one of the following purposes:

●      Data collection (transferring monitoring data to CEN)

●      Analysis (calling analysis methods in the monitored system from CEN)

Use this procedure to see how to set up this destinations and then monitor ABAP systems in CEN.

Procedure

       1.      Call transaction RZ21 in CEN.

       2.      Choose Technical Infrastructure ® Configure Central System ® Create remote monitoring entry.

The Monitoring: Create New Entry screen appears.

       3.      Choose Goto ® RFC Connections.

If no suitable RFC destination exists for the system that you want to monitor, choose Create.

       4.      Make the following specifications on the definition screen:

Option Name	Actions
RFC Destination	Enter a name for the RFC destination. The following naming convention is recommend: <SID of the monitored system>_RZ20_COLLECT or <SID of the monitored system>_RZ20_ANALYZE
Connection Type	Enter 3.
Description	Enter a description for the RFC destination. Choose the Logon/Security tab page, and, depending on the RFC destination to be created, enter the data for the appropriate user in the Logon group box: ●      RFC Destination for Data Collection: Enter the CSMREG user. ●      RFC Destination for the Execution of the Analysis Method: Either choose the Current User option, or enter any user of your choice. In both cases, the user must have authorization for the alert monitor and for system administration in the target system.

 

       5.      Choose the Technical Settings tab page and make the required entries.

It is recommend that you choose the Yes option for load distribution.

       6.      Save your entries and set up the second RFC destination in the same way.

       7.      Choose the  Back option to return to the Monitoring: Create New Entry screen.

       8.      Create the entry for monitoring a remote ABAP system.

To do this, complete the following entries:

                            a.      Target System ID – the system ID of the monitored system.

                            b.      RFC Destination of the Target System for Data Collection and RFC Destination of the Target System for Executing Analysis Methods are the names of the RFC connections to the monitored system that you have just created.

       9.      Save your entries and enter all other ABAP systems to be monitored in the same way.
