Function documentationUsing the Program Decommisssion Monitoring

 

The program Decommisssion Monitoring deactivates the monitoring of a managed object. Use it if you no longer use a managed object (e.g. a technical system), and you want to be sure that all entries for this object in monitoring, are removed.

This program does this for all monitoring use cases in which an object occurs, so it is more useful than the deletion function in the transaction SOLMAN_SETUP, which only deletes the managed object in the current monitoring used case.

Caution Caution

This program deletes all settings and saved data in monitoring for the managed object. Only use it if you are sure that you no longer need to monitor this object.

End of the caution.

Activities

Call Program

To call the Decommisssion Monitoring program, call the transaction MAI_TOOLS. Go to expert mode, and, in the Configuration tab, choose Decommisssion Monitoring.

Select Managed Objects

Select the managed objects whose monitoring you want to deactivate. This selection is not the deactivation, that is the next step. You have the following selection options:

  • Managed Object ID

    Each MO has a 32 character GUID, which is its ID. This ID is, for example, output in logs and error messages.

  • Managed Object Name

    The managed object name is a technical name which is output in the monitoring interface. In System Monitoring, for example, the naming convention for ABAP instances is <system ID>~ABAP~<instance name> (upper-case).

  • Managed Object Type

    There are various types of managed objects, depending on the monitoring use case.

    Example Example

    The types in System Monitoring are Technical Systems, Hosts, Technical Instances, and Databases.

    End of the example.
Display objects selected for deactivation

Once you have specified which objects you want to deactivate, choose the Execute (Execute) button. These objects are displayed in an ALV grid. The selected objects, and all objects below them in the object hierarchy in a monitoring use case, are displayed.

Example Example

Search for the technical system with the system ID PRD. This technical system, its databases, instances, and all their hosts, are displayed in the ALV grid.

End of the example.
Deactivate object

Perform a Test Deactivation (Test Deactivation) before you deactivate the selected managed objects. After this test, the Status column indicates whether you can deactivate the object, or whether it is in the object hierarchy of another object which is not to be deactivated.

Note Note

You want to deactivate the technical system with the ID PRD. On a host in which an instance of this system runs, the status The managed object is still being used and cannot be deleted is displayed after the test, because instances of anoother technical system are running on this host.

End of the note.

To deactivate the objects whose Description column contains The managed object can be deleted, choose Delete (Delete).
