 Table Configuration GroupLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use the following method to create a table configuration group and to add it to the whole set of groups:

public boolean createTableConfigurationGroup(String groupName, String descriptionID, String description, int dataCollectionType, int periodValue, int periodUnit, int reactOnCollectionFailure, Vector columnNames);

The following parameters are available:

  • groupName - the name of the group. The length of this string must not exceed 40 characters, otherwise this group will not be sent to the CCMS.
  • descriptionID - description IDs must be unique. The length of the string must not exceed 30 characters.
  • description - a brief explanation about this group.
  • dataCollectionType - defines the way the data is retrieved from the resource.

    There are two possibilities:

    • Passive reporting (the resource is triggered by timer) - in this case, use com.sap.engine.interfaces.monitor.MonitorConstants.POLLED_BY_MONITOR
    • Active reporting (the resource sends notifications) - in this case, use com.sap.engine.interfaces.monitor.MonitorConstants.PUSHED_BY_RESOURCE
  • periodValue - if dataCollectionType is POLLED_BY_MONITOR, this parameter defines the period value of polling data. If dataCollectionType is PUSHED_BY_RESOURCE, this parameter is ignored.
  • periodUnit - if dataCollectionType is POLLED_BY_MONITOR, this parameter defines the unit of the period. There are three possibilities:
    • com.sap.engine.interfaces.monitor.MonitorConstants.MINUTE
    • com.sap.engine.interfaces.monitor.MonitorConstants.HOUR
    • com.sap.engine.interfaces.monitor.MonitorConstants.DAY

    If dataCollectionType is PUSHED_BY_RESOURCE, this parameter is ignored.

  • reactOnCollectionFailure - defines how a monitor belonging to this group must react when the resource fails.

    There are two possibilities:

    • com.sap.engine.interfaces.monitor.MonitorConstants.UNREGISTER_MONITOR
    • com.sap.engine.interfaces.monitor.MonitorConstants.IGNORE
  • columnNames - a vector containing the names of the columns in this table.

This method returns true if the group is created and added to the whole set of groups successfully; otherwise it returns false.

Tip 
  Vector columnNames = new Vector();
  columnNames.add("name1");
  columnNames.add("name2");
  boolean result = monitorContext.createTableConfigurationGroup(tableGroupName, "TEST.TABLE.GROUP", "Test table configuration group", MonitorConstants.POLLED_BY_MONITOR, 8, MonitorConstants.MINUTE, MonitorConstants.UNREGISTER_MONITOR, columnNames);
