Use

Before you can use a new method, you must first define it, and release it in the Alert Monitor. You can then assign the method to an MTE. You can also transport the method definition to other SAP systems.

Note

The methods created by SAP already exists in all systems with a SAP Basis or SAP Web Application Server. This means that you only need to transport your own method definitions.

Procedure

  1. Choose CCMS ® Configuration ® Alert Monitor, or call transaction RZ21.
  2. The system displays the Monitoring: Properties and Methods screen. Choose Methods ® Create New Method.
  3. The system displays the Monitoring: Methods screen. Enter the name and description of the method.
  4. Choose the Execution tab page, and select the desired radio button in the To Be Executed group box. If, for example, you want to execute transaction ST04 as a method, choose the Transaction radio button and enter ST04 in the Call field.
  5. In the Execute Method On group box, specify on which server the method is to be executed.
  6. If you want to run a function module as a method, you can specify the method parameters on the Parameters tab page.
  7. Select the Control tab page to specify in which task type the method is to be executed. The method can be automatically run in a dialog process or executed as a Structure linkjob, or you can specify that the method is to be executed manually.

Note

We recommend that you execute long-running methods as background jobs. If you choose this option, the SAP system assigns the method to an available background process. You do not need to manually schedule the background job; you can, however, check its status with transaction SM37.
  1. You must release the method that you have defined so that the monitoring architecture can use it. To do this, choose the Release tab page. Specify whether your method is to be used as a data collection, auto reaction, or analysis method, and choose Enter.
  2. After you have saved your method definition, you can transport this to another system by choosing Transport.
