Object documentationSystem Availability App

 

There is an app to show the availability of your managed systems. It shows the availability of managed systems during a selected period. You can adjust the availability period and the systems whose availability is shown, in the app configuration.

The data for this app comes from System & Application Monitoring, where system availability can take the following values:

  • Available

  • Not available during a planned downtime

  • Monitoring pause – There are no availability values during planned downtimes of the SAP Solution Managers system.

  • Unplanned downtime

  • No availability information available. Availability undefined

As well as the availability of the individual managed systems, the mean availability value is shown in a pie chart.

The role SAP_SM_DASHBOARDS_DISP contains authorization to call dashboards and apps. To be able to call the system availability app, the authorization object Solution Manager Dashboard Instance (technical name SM_DSBINST) in the Dashboard Authorization Group must have the value CIO_TECHOP.
