• Display the connection status and other details for monitored systems, monitoring segments and monitoring contexts
• Display CCMS agents in all monitored systems
• Perform connection tests within this environment

In the topology display, you can see systems, segments and contexts that are monitored by the CCMS monitoring architecture in a hierarchy. 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:

To call the topology, choose Tools ® CCMS ® Configuration ® Alert Monitor in the SAP initial screen, or call transaction RZ21. There you have two options for starting the technical topology display:

Choose Technical Infrastructure ® Display Topology. The system displays the Monitoring: Display Technical Topology dialog screen. There are four tab pages on the screen:

• Monitored, remote SAP Systems
• Local Segments
• Local Contexts
• CCMS agents that register with the monitoring architecture of the local system, divided into three groups with tab pages:

• Agents for the local system; these are SAPCCMSR agents that monitor non-SAP servers
• Agents for all remote SAP systems; these are SAPCCM4X agents that monitor SAP systems as of SAP Basis 4.x
• Agents for SAP Basis 3.x Systems; these are SAPCM3X agents

The segments and contexts for the local system are always displayed on first screen. If you are interested in segments and contexts for a remote system, choose the relevant system by double clicking it. You are taken to the logon screen of the system. After logon, the system displays three tab pages: Segments, Contexts, and CCMS agents for the selected remote system. The agents that the system then displays are the agents that are installed on the selected system and that report their data to the local system.

On the start screen of transaction RZ21, there is a Topology group box, with the following selection radio buttons:

• System Overview
• Segment Overview
• Context Overview
• Agents for the local system
• Agents for remote systems
• Agents for SAP R/3 3.X Systems

Select the desired radio button and chose the Display Overview pushbutton. The display of segments, contexts and agents using the corresponding radio buttons always refers to the local system (even the Agents for remote systems are, after all, 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.
