Analyzing Status, Configuration and Administration (SAP Library - Computing Center Management System (BC-CCM))

Analyzing Status, Configuration and Administration Data

Procedure

To analyze status, configuration and administration date:

From the CCMS initial screen, choose Jobs ® Check environment

Certain requirements have to be met before the background processing can work. For example, the profile parameters and the authorizations have to be set. This analysis transaction can be used to obtain this information and to make the checks.

You have the choice between two types of test:

Simple tests (initial screen)

You can check whether the profile parameters are correctly set and whether the user ID SAPCPIC exists. This check can be made either for a particular background server or for all of them. It is required for starting external programs.

Additional tests (Goto ® Additional tests)

In addition to the fundamental tests mentioned above, you can also run checks on the following:

User authorization for background processing.
Names of all job servers
Functionality and state of the TemSe subsystem, which is required for writing the job logs
Consistency of database tables

The background processing stores job data in several database tables. These tables can be checked for consistency. This test is especially important if there have been problems in the database and a check needs to be made of whether all the job data still exists.

You can also run the consistency check on database tables as a background job. Doing so makes sense if the check runs out of time and is terminated abnormally when you run it directly from the Check environment function. (This problem occurs only if you have extremely large background processing tables, that is, a very active background processing system. In this case, the check report may exceed the time limit on reports run in interactive mode, in the foreground. The check report is then terminated with the message Time limit exceeded .)

To run the consistency check in the background, schedule ABAP report RSBTCCNS as a job step in a background job. The report comes with two predefined variants that you can use in the job step. These are:

Variant SAP&AUTOREPNO: Use this variant to have consistency problems only reported in the RSBTCCNS list output. No automatic repair of the problems is done.
Variant SAP&AUTOREPYES: Use this variant to have consistency problems logged and also automatically repaired by the report.

The report logs its results in a spool request which you can display or print.

Current status of the background work processes of either a particular job server or of all of them.
Number of entries in the dispatcher queue for background work processes

This queue should always be empty. If, however, there are entries in the queue, then the background work processes in the application server are not currently able to process any more jobs.

The results of the tests can either be displayed as a list or written to the file ‘BTCSPY’ in the working directory of the application server to which you are logged on.
