The following functions are available in the technical topology:
In the topology display, you can see systems, segments, and contexts that are monitored by the CCMS monitoring architecture. The system displays the connection status and other values that are important for controlling the CCMS monitoring for all of these objects.
For details about the display, see:
Monitored Systems in the Topology Display
Segments in the Topology Display
To call the topology display, choose Tools → CCMS → Configuration → Alert Monitorin the SAP Easy Access Menu, or call transaction RZ21. You have two options for starting the technical topology there:
Starting the Topology Display Through the Menu
Choose Technical Infrastructure → Display Topology. The system displays the Monitoring: Display Technical Topology screen. There are four tab pages on the screen:
The segments and contexts for the local system are always displayed on the initial screen. If you are interested in segments and contexts of a remote system, choose the relevant system by double-clicking it. The logon screen of the system then appears. After you have logged on, the system displays three tab pages: Segments, Contexts, and CCMS Agents for the selected remote system. The agents that the system displays in this case are the agents that are installed on the selected system and that report their data to the local system.
Starting the Topology Displaying Using the Topology Group Box
On the initial screen of transaction RZ21, there is a Topology group box with the following radio buttons:
Select the desired radio button and choose Display Overview. The display of the segments, contexts, and agents using the corresponding radio buttons always refers to the local system (even the Agents for Remote Systems are registered with the local system as the central monitoring system). If you require the corresponding data for remote systems, first choose the System Overview and then select the desired system by double-clicking it.
In the contexts display, all contexts of the relevant system are always displayed. To display only contexts of a particular monitoring segment, choose the desired segment by double-clicking it. The system opens another window with the contexts of the selected segment.
Tailoring the Layout
You can tailor the layout to your requirements, for example, by showing columns that are hidden by default.
