Activating CCMS for TREX 

Use

To activate the TREX monitoring for CCMS, you must register the CCMS agent SAPCCMSR with the central monitoring system (CEN) and start it. During the registration process, you enter details of the CEN and the users through which communication between the agent and CEN is processed.

After completion of the TREX installation, a CCMS agent is already entered in the TREX start profile and automatically started using a stand-alone option. With the stand-alone option, the agent runs so that the TREX tree is displayed only in your local SAP Management Console, communication with the central CCMS system is not possible until you have registered.

For more details about the CCMS agents and registration, see CCMS Agents and Installing/Registering the CCMS Agents for Experts.

Procedure

...

       1.      You run certain scripts to set the correct environment variables:

                            a.      Log on to the TREX host as root (UNIX) or as Administrator (Windows).

                            b.      Go to the directory <TREX_DIR>.

                            c.      Set the environment variables required by TREX by executing the following scripts in a command prompt:

UNIX

■      Bourne shell sh, Bourne-again shell bash, Korn shell ksh

.TREXSettings.sh

■      C Shell csh:

source TREXSettings.csh

Windows

TREXSettings.bat

       2.      To stop the CCMS agent, enter the following:

sapccmsr pf=<instance_profile> -j2ee -standalone –stop

You can find the CCMS agent in the directory <TREX_DIR>/exe. The <instance_profile> for your TREX installation has the following format: <SAPSID>_TRX<instance_number>_<host>.

       3.      Register the CCMS agent with the central monitoring system (CEN):

sapccmsr pf=<instance_profile> -j2ee –R pf=<profile_path>

<profile_path>is the complete file path for the profile of the monitored instance including the <instance_profile>. You can find the profile file in the global file system for your TREX installation:

○     Windows:<drive>:\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\SYS\profile\
<SAPSID>_TRX<instance_number>_<host>

○     UNIX:/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/profile/
<SAPSID>_TRX<instance_number>_<host>

During the registration of the CCMS agent, the following user data is queried:

○     Client

○     User name

○     Logon language

○     Host name of the message server in the central monitoring system

○     Indicator as to whether load-balancing is to be used for logon

○     Logon group name for logging on (if load-balancing is activated)

○     Host name of the application server for logging on (if load-balancing is deactivated)

○     System number of the application server for logging on (if load-balancing is deactivated)

○     Host and port of the SAProuter in the form /H/<router host>/S/<router port>/H (optional, only necessary in exceptional cases)

○     Indicator for a trace (0 = no, 1 = yes)

○     User password; the password is used once only to log on as described above and is not saved

○     Gateway connection data (normally the message server for the central monitoring system), that the CCMS agent uses to communicate with the RFC server

○     Gateway host name

○     Gateway system number

○     Name of the system group:

[optional] monitored system <SAPSID> belongs to system group:

For more information about the user data queried, see Registering the CCMS Agents in Dialog. If there is a default value for an entry, this is presented in square brackets. If you want to apply this value , choose ENTER.

       4.      When the name of the system group is queried, you assign the TREX system for the SAP system ID <SAPSID> as the monitored system to the TREX_Systems system group in the central monitoring system:

[optional] monitored system <SAPSID> belongs to system group: TREX_Systems

       5.      In the TREX start profile START_TRX<instance_number>_<host>, change the launch of the CCMS agent. You can also find the TREX start profile in the global file system for your TREX installation.

○     UNIX

In the start profile, delete the parameter -standalone so that the following entry remains:

sapccmsr pf=<instance_profile> -j2ee -DCCMS

○     Windows

In the start profile, delete the entire entry for the CCMS agent. Since the CCMS agent runs as a separate service after the registration in step three, an entry is not required.

You can use a text editor or the SAP Management Console to change the start profile.

Result
