This procedure puts your custom functions in the Technical Monitoring and Alerting infrastructure. You implement Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) defined by SAP to adapt software to specific requirements. You must have implemented the BAdI BADI_ALERT_REACTION.

The description of the BAdIs is beyond the scope of this document. See the SAP Community Network under the following link:

End of the caution.

You can make the settings for adding third-party components, on the following levels:

Level

Use

Global

You can set the default values for the entire System Monitoring. Make these settings in the SAP Solution Manager Configuration (transaction SOLMAN_SETUP) in the step   Technical Monitoring   System Monitoring   Configure Infrastructure   Default Settings  .

Template

(SAP or Customer)

You can overwrite the global settings on template level. These settings then apply to all managed objects for which this template is active.

Make these settings in the template, in the step   Technical Monitoring   Template Maintenance  .

Managed Object

You can overwrite the existing settings at global level or for specified templates or managed objects.

Make these settings in the SAP Solution Manager Configuration in the step   Technical Monitoring   Set Up Monitoring  , by selecting Maintain MO-Specific Settings. For more information, see Using Templates in the section Changing a Managed Object Directly.

Alert Type

You can overwrite the existing settings at global level or for specified templates or alert types. Make this setting for the alert type, in the Template Maintenance of the template. Choose the Alerts tab, and select an alert type.

Note Note

Settings on a more specific level overwrite those on a more general level.

End of the note.

This procedure describes how you can make the settings for adding third-party components. The possible settings are almost the same on all levels.

To adjust the settings, proceed as follows:

  1. Go to the Solution Manager Configuration (transaction SOLMAN_SETUP) step in the table above, for the level on which you want to make settings.

  2. Go to change mode, and ensure that you are in the following tab, depending on the level:

  4. In the drop-down list Third-Party Components, choose Active or Inactive.

    Note Note

    You can also copy the general level settings on template and alert type levels. This is the default setting.

    End of the note.

  5. If you have activated the third-party component, go to the Third-Party Components tab, to add the connector in the table Assigned Third-Party Components.

    If you want to activate the BAdIs for specific work modes, in the Work-Mode-Specific Template Settings screen area, select the work mode, and make your changes.
