To be able to use the Monitoring of Jobs with the Alert Monitor, you must perform the following steps:
These two steps are described here. We also recommend that you create a separate monitor to allow a clear display of the data and maintenance of the threshold values.
Select the jobs that are to be monitored
The table ALBTCMON contains name patterns of the jobs that are to be monitored using job monitoring. To monitor the desired jobs, enter the relevant name patterns in the table:
For each name pattern, the system creates a subtree, in which it displays information about the status and runtime of the corresponding jobs.
Monitoring jobs with the monitoring architecture is always system-local. If you have a central monitoring system, you must nevertheless always make the selection of the jobs to be monitored in the local system.
Activating the Job Monitoring
By default, Job Monitoring is deactivated. To activate it, you must ensure that the corresponding data collection method starts to collect data automatically. To do this, follow the procedure below:
The data collection method will become active at the next restart of the system and will automatically generate the relevant subtrees.
If you require the job monitoring data immediately, you should reset to WARMUP status the monitoring segment of the central server of your system (the server with the Enqueue service).
The desired data is collected and stored in a monitoring context. This means that it is, for example, visible in the All Monitoring Contexts monitor of the SAP CCMS Technical Expert Monitors monitor set. However, we recommend that you create a separate monitor to display the data and adjust the alert generation to your own needs there using threshold values and filters (see Background Job Monitoring Monitor).
