Use

For you to be able to monitor the availability of a system, two prerequisites must be fulfilled:

This procedure describes how you can determine the correct entries for the SERVICES file.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the host from which you want to monitor availability.
  2. Check whether the message server port numbers of the systems that you want to monitor are included in the SERVICES file (in Windows NT systems, this file is under c:\winnt\system32\drivers32, in UNIX systems, under /etc). The lines have the following format:
  3. sapms<sid> <Port-No.>/tcp (Example: sapmsc11 3610/tcp)

  4. If this is not the case, first determine the host name of the relevant message servers. You can do this from any instance of the system, for example using transaction RZ03 (the message server is the one that provides the service "M") or RZ11 (the system parameter rdisp/mshost is the name of the message server).
  5. Now create a telnet connection to each of the message servers locations (telnet <Host-Name>). You will find the required entries in the SERVICES files on these servers.
  6. Copy the lines that you have found to the local SERVICES file.

Result

The desired system is included in the list of systems that can be monitored from the monitoring architecture. You can now activate the monitoring for this system using the normal user interface. To display the availability data, expand the SAP CCMS Monitor Templates monitor set in transaction RZ20 and open the Availability and Performance Overview Monitor.

You can also add a system to the availability monitoring by entering the required information (Name of the Message Server and Name of the IP Service) in the System Connection Data group box yourself, and saving your entries.
