Setting Up GRMG Monitoring of the Portal
Infrastructure 
Use
You can use the Generic Request and Message Generator (GRMG) to monitor the availability of the Portal Infrastructure. To do this, define the required configuration settings in a GRMG Customizing, which is transferred to CEN by a CCMS agent.
Prerequisites
You have installed
the CCMS agent SAPCCMSR with the j2ee option on the host of the J2EE Engine of
the portal (see 
Installing and
Registering CCMS Agents) and registered it with the central monitoring
system (CEN).
Procedure
...
1. On the host of the J2EE Engine of the portal, switch to the following directory:
Microsoft Windows: <J2EE Home directory>\JC<Inst. No.>\j2ee\admin\
UNIX: <J2EE Home directory>/JC<Inst. No.>/j2ee/admin/
If you installed the J2EE Engine together with an ABAP Engine, the character combination in the name of the JC<Inst. No.> directory in the above path may vary.
2.
Start the Visual
Administrator by calling the start script go (UNIX) or go.bat (Microsoft Windows), and log on with your
user as the J2EE Engine administrator.
3. In the navigation bar, choose Cluster ® Server ® Services ® Monitoring, and choose the tab page GRMG Customizing.
4. Expand the left half of the screen. All applications that have a prepared GRMG Customizing file are displayed. Choose sap.com/com.sap.portal.heartbeat.
5.
Transfer the
Customizing file to the CCMS agent by choosing the 
Upload button.
Additional Steps in the Enterprise Portal
These steps are only necessary if you are using user names and passwords for authentication (see below).
6. The GRMG scenario for the portal requires an authenticated user (without a special role). To authenticate the user, proceed as follows:
a. In the portal, choose System Administration ® Authorizations ® Authorizations for the Portal.
b. Open the folder Security Zones ® sap.com ® NetWeaver.Portal ® high safety ® com.sap.portal.heartbeats ® components ® PortalHeartbeat.
c. Double-click the PortalHeartbeat entry and switch to the Authorization Editor.
d. Add the desired user, assign the authorization Administrator=Read to the user, and check the User checkbox.
e. Save your entries.
