The SAP NetWeaver management agents are used to administer and monitor SAP NetWeaver components. They are automatically installed and started during the installation of any SAP NetWeaver components as of release SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EhP2. There are two types of agents, depending on the associated component:
Component | Type |
---|---|
Host |
SAP Host Agent; a host agent always runs for each monitored host (including hosts on which one or more instance agents are running) |
AS ABAP AS Java Dual Stack TREX |
Instance agent; an instance agent runs for each monitored instance |
The agents provide Web services that can be used by applications, including:
The host agent also controls these two executables:
If you want to use SAP NetWeaver management agents in a landscape with Adaptive Computing, proceed as described in the Adaptive Computing documentation.
As of this release, the SAP NetWeaver management agents replace the CCMS agents (more information: CCMS Agents: Central Monitoring for Components up to SAP NetWeaver 7.0).
You now only require the classic CCMS agents in the following two cases:
If you are operating a CEN with this old status, note also that you no longer require a CCMS agent SAPCCMSR –j2ee for a monitored dual-stack system as of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EhP2. This is because the ABAP and Java stacks share the same monitoring segment as of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EhP2. Therefore, for dual-stack systems of this type as of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EhP2, install only the CCMS agent SAPCCM4X. However, this is mandatory, not optional.
