This view lists the SAP EarlyWatch Alert sessions carried out for a solution in a specific period of time.

SAP EarlyWatch Alert is an automatic diagnostic service that the SAP Solution Manager uses to monitor SAP and non-SAP systems. In this service, data is sent at regular intervals from the production system to the SAP Solution Manager, which analyzes and evaluates the data. The objective of this service is to identify possible problems early, avoid bottlenecks and monitor system performance.

In this view, you can filter sessions according to criteria or access them individually. You can create a report in Word format or display it as an HTML report. You can also see the current ratings (red – very critical error, yellow – critical error/warning, green – no errors) of the SAP EarlyWatch Alert sessions carried out. You can change session data.

    • Service Data Control Center (SDCCN)
