Monitoring Systems in the Topology Display

Use

The Monitored Remote SAP Systems tab page of the Topology Display lists all remote SAP systems known to the CCMS monitoring infrastructure and their connection properties. In this way, you can obtain a quick overview of which systems are monitored using the monitoring infrastructure.

For more information about starting the topology display, see Calling the Display of the Technical Topology.

Features

By default, the system displays the following columns in Monitored Remote SAP Systems:

Column	Meaning
System	System ID of the monitored system
Read Data Destination	RFC destination of the monitored system that the central monitoring system uses to read data. Note If you monitor a system without an ABAP instance (this is possible using the CCMS agent SAPCCMSR with Option j2ee), the text `<<SID>_no_ABAP_Destination>` is displayed here. The communication status is then always OFFLINE.
Analysis Destination	RFC destination of the monitored system that the central monitoring system uses for analysis and auto-reaction methods; use your own user name for this (see also: Registering SAP NetWeaver Components and Hosts in CEN)
Comm.Status	Communication status from the point of view of the local system; the status can be one of the following: ONLINE OFFLINE SHUTDOWN COMMFAIL. If an RFC call fails (for example, in the case of the Single Connection command or Log On to SAP System), the system displays COMM.FAIL. After a successful RFC call, the system sets the communication status to ONLINE again.
Changed by	Last user to change the communication status
Changed On Changed At	Date and time of the last change to the communication status

You can also show the following columns by choosing the Change Layout.. button for the ALV Grid Control:

Column

Column	Meaning
Version	Internal version of the CCMS monitoring infrastructure
Comm.prio	Communication priority; two values are possible: Default: The RFC communication uses an ABAP interface Agent Preferred: The RFC communication tries to use a CCMS Agent
Comm.Type	Communication type; one of the two following values is used, depending on the definition of the RFC interface: ABAP RFC connection System Without an ABAP Instance See: Destination Types

Activities

In addition to the purely display functions, the following commands are also available to you as buttons in the ALV Grid Control:

Command	Explanation
	Use this function to test the RFC destination for reading data or analysis. To do this, select the relevant cell in the list of monitored systems, and choose the button. Depending on the definition of the RFC destination, the logon screen of the selected system may appear next. The connection test checks whether the authorizations required by the CSMREG User exist; that is, whether it is possible to access the function groups required for CSMREG. If at least one test is not successful, the system displays a detailed log of exactly which errors occurred. You can show and hide messages depending on the category ( Termination, Error, Warning, Information). To test the connection to all systems, choose Edit Connection Test to All Systems . The Read Data Destination is tested as described above.
	With this button, you start the process Create Entry for Remote Monitoring (see Registering SAP NetWeaver Components and Hosts in CEN).
	You can log on directly to systems for which an RFC destination is specified for analysis. When you do so, the start screen Monitoring: Properties and Methods of transaction RZ21 of the relevant system appears.
	You can use this command to delete the entry for the monitoring of a remote system. This also deletes the associated RFC destination. Note This command is only available in change mode, which you start by choosing the button.
Change Communication Status (only in change mode)	If you no longer want to monitor a remote system, choose OFFLINE. It remains in this status until you set it to ONLINE again. Do not set COMM.FAIL or SHUTDOWN manually.
Change the RFC Destination (only in change mode)	You can change the RFC destination ( Read Data and Analysis) directly in the ALV Grid Control. Use an existing RFC destination when doing so.
