Defining Operation Modes  

Use

You can modify an existing operation mode or define a new operation mode.

Procedure

  1. Choose CCMS ® Configuration ® OP modes/instances. Alternatively, call Transaction RZ04.
  2. The system displays a list of productive instances.

    If you have not yet defined any operation modes, the test operation mode DUMMY will be displayed. This operation mode is configured automatically so that system functions such as the Control Panel and background job scheduling can be used.

    If a DUMMY operation mode is already available, it is updated whenever a server is booted. In this way, it is adjusted to the changed system conditions.

    The operation mode DUMMY cannot be used for operation mode switching.

  3. Create a new operation mode (that can be switched automatically)
  4. To do this, choose Operation mode ® Create.

  5. Enter data in the following fields:
  6. Operation mode:

    Enter a name for the operation mode, for example DAY_OPERATION , and a short description. You can enter any name for the operation mode, but it is better to choose a name that is meaningful and that makes the task of the operation mode clear.

    Short description

    Type a short description of the operation mode, for example, "Day operation with 6 dialog processes."

    Monitoring properties variant

    Enter the name of the monitoring properties variant in the monitoring architecture that is assigned to the operation mode. When the operation mode is started, the settings that the monitoring properties variant contains are activated automatically in the alert monitor.

  7. Save the data by choosing Operation mode ® Save.
  8. Repeat this procedure for all other operation modes that you require.

When you have defined and saved your operation modes, you can define the instances and servers.

You can also call the operation mode maintenance tool from the control panel.
