Adapting Data Collection MethodsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

The SAPconnect data collection method is started by default for all clients in an SAP system. However, it is possible to restrict the number of queried clients. You can also specify additional optional parameters that control the behavior of the data collection method.

Parameter

Possible Values

Description

Default

CLIENT

Client, for example 000, 101

Restriction to individual clients.

All clients

MONITOR

Combination of E,T, and W (for example EWT)

Specifies what is to be monitored. The letters stand for:

W (Waiting) - waiting send requests

E (Error) - send requests with errors

T (Transfer) - send requests with status 'Sent'

W

STARTDAY E

Any number (for example 1)

Specifies the number of days before the current day on which the selection of send requests with errors is to be started. If, for example, you enter the value 1, the selection of send requests with errors will start the day before the current day.

Starts on the current day

ENDDAY E

Any number (for example 1)

Selection criterion: Specifies the number of days before the current day on which the selection is to end.

Ends on the current day

STARTDAY T

Any number (for example 1)

As for STARTDAY E, but for send requests with status 'Sent'.

Starts on the current day

ENDDAY T

Any number (for example 1)

As for ENDDAY E, but for send requests with status 'Sent'.

Ends on the current day

ADDR TYPES

Combination of FAX, INT, PAG (for example FAX, INT)

Restriction to individual address types.

All address types
Note

Since you can create your own monitors by combining individual monitor elements in the monitoring environment (RZ20), it is not mandatory to set restrictions for the MONITOR and ADDR TYPES parameters.

If, however, you only select send requests with errors, for example, this means that only the corresponding requests are selected when the data collection method runs. This improves the performance of the data collection runs.
