Starting the Data Collection Method ManuallyLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You carry out this procedure for test purposes and before you use the SAPconnect monitor for the first time. A data collection period ends when the SAP system is shut down. If you do not configure the system so that the data collection period is started automatically after a restart of the SAP system, you have to start the period again manually each time.

Prerequisites

During the runtime of an SAP system, the data collection method always has to be executed on the same application host. Therefore, when executing the data collection method directly from SAPconnect, you have to start it on the application host that it was executed on for the first time after a system restart.

Procedure

In SAPconnect Administration

  1. Choose Start of the navigation path Utilities Next navigation step Alert Monitor Next navigation step Start Data Collection Method End of the navigation path.

    It is confirmed in the status bar whether the method was executed successfully.

  2. If you are not on the application server that the data collection method was executed on after the last restart of the SAP system, you receive an error message containing the name of the correct application host in the long text. In this case, log on to the specified server, start the SAPconnect administration and perform this procedure again.
