Column

Description

System

System ID of the monitored system

Read Data Destination

RFC destination of the monitored system, which the central monitoring system uses for reading data; use the CSMREG user, which can only call certain function modules, for this (see also Monitoring Multiple Systems: Defining RFC Connections)

If you monitor a system without an ABAP instance (this is possible using the CCMS agent SAPCCMSR with Option j2ee), the text <<SID>_no_ABAP_Destination> is displayed here. The communication status is then always OFFLINE.

Analysis Destination

RFC destination of the monitored system, which the central monitoring system uses for analysis and auto-reaction methods; use your own user name for this (see also Monitoring Multiple Systems: Defining RFC Connections)

Comm.Status

Communication status from the point of view of the local system; the status can be one of the following:

·         ONLINE

·         OFFLINE

·         SHUTDOWN

·         COMM.FAIL

If an RFC call fails (for example, in the case of the Test Single Connection or Log On to SAP System commands), the system displays COMM.FAIL. After a successful RFC call, the system sets the communication status to ONLINE again.

Changed By

Last user to change the communication status

Changed On, Changed At

Date and time of the last change to the communication status

Column

Description

Version

Internal version of the CCMS monitoring architecture

Comm.prio

Communication priority; two values are possible:

·        Standard: The RFC communication uses an ABAP interface

·        Agent Preferred: The RFC communication tries to use a CCMS Agent

Comm.Type

Communication type; one of the two following values is used, depending on the definition of the RFC interface:

·        ABAP RFC connection

·        System Without an ABAP Instance

See: Destination Types

Command

Explanation

 Test Single Connection

Use this function to test the RFC destination for reading data or analysis. To do this, select the relevant cell in the list of monitored systems, and choose the button  Test Single Connection. Depending on the definition of the RFC destination, the logon screen of the selected system may appear next.

The connection test checks whether the authorizations required by the CSMREG User exist; that is, whether it is possible to access the function groups required for CSMREG.

If at least one test is not successful, the system displays a detailed log of exactly which errors occurred. You can show and hide messages depending on the category (Termination, Error, Warning, Information).

To test the connection to all systems, choose Edit ® Connection Test to All Systems. The Read Data Destination is tested as described above.

 Create Remote System

With this button, you start the process Create Entry for Remote Monitoring (see Monitoring Multiple Systems: Defining RFC Connections).

 Logon to SAP System

You can log on directly to systems for which an RFC destination is specified for analysis. When you do so, the start screen Monitoring: Properties and Methods of transaction RZ21 of the relevant system appears.

 Delete Entry

You can use this command to delete the entry for the monitoring of a remote system. You do not delete the associated RFC destination by doing this.

This command is only available in change mode, which you start by choosing the Display « Change button ().

Change Communication Status
(only in change mode)

If you no longer want to monitor a remote system, choose OFFLINE. It remains in this status until you set it to ONLINE again. Do not set COMM.FAIL or SHUTDOWN manually.

Change the RFC Destination
(only in change mode)

You can change the RFC destination (Read Data and Analysis) directly in the ALV Grid Control. Use an existing RFC destination when doing so.
