The following prerequisites apply for central monitoring:

  • The instance parameter icm/host_name_full needs to be specified with a fully-qualified host name (more information: SAP Note 654982).

  • The central monitoring server must be defined in the exchange profile

    The following properties need to be set in the exchange profile. They define the SAP NetWeaver AS that provides the required CCMS monitor, PMI server, and Alert server.

    • com.sap.aii.rwb.server.centralmonitoring.r3.ashost

      Specify the same fully-qualified host name as for the instance parameter icm/host_name_full.

    • com.sap.aii.rwb.server.centralmonitoring.r3.client

    • com.sap.aii.rwb.server.centralmonitoring.r3.sysnr

    • com.sap.aii.rwb.server.centralmonitoring.httpport

      Specify the port of the ABAP server, not the Java port.

  • The technical user for the Runtime Workbench must be defined on all PI components

    The technical user for the Runtime Workbench (PIRWBUSER) as defined in the exchange profile needs to be available on all PI components that are to be monitored centrally. This service user is defined by the following properties, which are initially set during installation:

    • com.sap.aii.rwb.serviceuser.name

    • com.sap.aii.rwb.serviceuser.pwd

    • com.sap.aii.rwb.serviceuser.language

  • The ITS plug-in must run on the Integration Server and the central monitoring server

    To allow navigation from the Runtime Workbench to ABAP monitoring transactions, for example to RZ20, the ITS plug-in needs to run on the Integration Server and on the central monitoring server.

    Caution Caution

    Use transaction SICF to check whether the ITS service is activated. You may also have to set profile parameter em/global_area_mb to 128 to allow proper ITS operation.

    End of the caution.

  • The required ICF services must be activated

    In addition to ITS, additional ICF services have to be activated on the central monitoring server in order to allow proper operation of end-to-end monitoring and alerting. You activate the required services by executing the report RSXMB_ACTIVATE_ICF_SERVICES (more information: Activating the Required ICF Services).

    Alternatively, you can manually activate the services listed below by using transaction SICF.

  • The content of the System Landscape Directory (SLD) must be consistent

    Several PI components read component and addressing information from the SLD. There are two complementary ways to provide the SLD with PI-specific content:

    • Manually

      You define business systems by choosing Business Systems from the SLD start page. Before you do this, the technical systems need to be described in the SLD.

      Note Note

      If SLD bridges are configured, the technical systems register themselves automatically with the SLD.

      End of the note.

    • Automatically

      PI components register themselves with the SLD as soon as they are started up. This type of self-registration does not require SLD bridges.
