 Automatically Creating the CSMCONF Start FileLocate this document in the navigation structure

Caution

CCMS agents are no longer required for purely SAP NetWeaver 7.1 landscapes; their functions are performed by SAP NetWeaver Management Agents. For information about when you still require CCMS agents for SAP NetWeaver 7.1, see CCMS Agents: Central Monitoring for Components up to SAP NetWeaver 7.0.

Use

During the registration of CCMS agents, you primarily enter information about the central monitoring system and the users used for communication between the agent and the central monitoring system. You can enter the registration both in dialog and dialog-free, by specifying a start file (referred to a CSMCONF in the following) in the registration call.

We recommend that you have the central monitoring system create CSMCONF for the registration of the CCMS agents. This applies irrespective of whether you want to perform the registration with the agent registration tool, in dialog or dialog-free (see Registering the CCMS Agents in Dialog and Dialog-Free Registration of the CCMS Agents).

Note

If you are performing the registration in dialog, the CCMS agent creates a CSMCONF start file itself from your input and stores it in the working directory of the agent (see Working Directory and Log Files of the CCMS Agents). Only the passwords used are removed.

This means that if you are registering CCMS agents on different hosts, you could also perform the registration once in dialog and then add the passwords to the automatically created CSMCONF files and use this file as the template for the other registrations.

Procedure
  1. Choose CCMS → Configuration → Alert Monitor, or call transaction RZ21.
  2. Choose Technical Infrastructure → Configure Central System → Create CSMCONF Start File for Agents.
  3. Choose the location at which CSMCONF is to be written. This should be the working directory of the agent (see Working Directory and Log Files of the CCMS Agents).
  4. To be able to perform the registration in dialog (see Registering the CCMS Agents in Dialog), start the registration as usual with the option -R.

    The data is then copied from the CSMCONF file, meaning that you simply have to confirm it. You only need to enter the passwords for the two central monitoring system users.

  5. To perform a dialog-free registration (see Dialog-Free Registration of the CCMS Agents), edit CSMCONF and enter the relevant passwords in the parameters CEN_ADMIN_PASSWORD and CEN_CSMREG_PASSWORD.

    Now specify CSMCONF for the registration after the option -f.
