The CCMS System Repository (SAP Library

The CCMS System Repository

Purpose

The CCMS system repository is a database for storing data on the R/3 Systems and other components in a mySAP.com IT landscape. It is a new component with Release 4.6C and will serve, as it is further developed, as a key component of the CCMS central system management infrastructure.

The CCMS system repository serves the following purposes:

It provides information storage for functions that operate across R/3 System and component boundaries. For example, some kinds of URL generation for mySAP.com use data from the repository to map generic URLs into URLs specific to your IT landscape.

It supports central maintenance of certain types of R/3 objects. For example, you can maintain system groups for the CCMS alert monitor and monitoring architecture in a single central system. The system repository distributes the system groups to other systems in your IT landscape. The prerequisite for this distribution is that the other systems have registered their repositories with the central system.

Features

The system repository is automatically filled with data. Whenever you restart the central server of your system, the CCMS monitoring architecture schedules a background job that fills (first-time) or updates the data in the system repository. The central server in an R/3 System is the server that provides the enqueue (locking) service. The background job simply runs a CCMS data supplier that fills the repository.

The standard CCMS data supplier that fills the system repository collects only data on the local R/3 System, the one in which the repository is located. The standard data that is collected includes information on the servers in the system, RFC destinations, clients, components, and installed support packages.

Other data suppliers, such as those that provide extra, non-standard data for URL generation, run automatically to deposit the data that they need in the repository. You do not have to start any data supplier to fill the repository with data.

You can also fill or update the repository on demand. For more information, see Filling or Updating the Repository.
