Procedure documentationSending Monitoring Data to SAP Systems Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Monitoring data from SAP CPS can also be sent to SAP Systems and displayed alongside other SAP-specific monitors in transaction RZ20 or Solution Manager using the XMW interface. This interface is configured per SAP System and requires an RFC user with sufficient privileges, as outlined in Reference SAP RFC User Privileges.

Before you can send monitoring data to an SAP System about queues and process servers in SAP CPS you will have to create a monitor tree if that has not already been done. Monitoring tree are generated by job definition System_CreateMonitorTree.

You may set a maximum setting for the number of RFC connections, please see the tuning for more information.

Note Note

XBP 3.0 requires a logical system for the client, see for more information on creating logical systems for clients.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

  • An RFC user with sufficient privileges

  • A SAP CPS Monitor tree

  • An SAP NetWeaver AS 6.20 system with Support Package 12 or higher.

Procedure

To create de SAP CPS monitoring tree

  1. Navigate to   Definitions → Job Definitions  

  2. Choose Submit from the context menu of the job definition System_CreateMonitors.

  3. In the submit wizard, choose Submit.

  4. Navigate to   Monitoring → Monitors   and make sure the Monitors have been created.

To setup synchronization of monitoring data with an SAP System

  1. Navigate to   Environment → SAP Systems  

  2. Choose Edit from the context menu of an SAP System.

  3. Choose the XMW tab and fill in the credentials of the RFC user.

  4. Choose Save & Close

  5. Navigate to   Environment → Process Servers  

  6. Choose Stop and then choose Start from the context menu of the corresponding process server. Please wait for the status of the process server to reach Shutdown prior to starting it.

To read the SAP CPS monitoring data in an SAP System

  1. Log on to the central monitoring system. Open transaction RZ20.

  2. Open monitor System / All Monitoring Segments / All Monitoring Contexts of monitor set SAP CCMS Technical Expert Monitors.

  3. Look for an MTE of MTE class RedwoodContext.

  4. Choose the top node.

  5. Choose   Edit → Selections → Select → Node (MTE)   of a class.

  6. Enter RedwoodContext.

  7. Choose ENTER twice. The correct MTE is now selected (but still hidden).

  8. Select   Tree → Expand tree → Along selection  . Now you can see the SAP CPS monitoring data tree, the name of the main node follows this syntax:

    1. <product> <SAP System Name in the Scheduler>@<sap id>

      1. <product> is either SAP CPS or Scheduler, depending on your license.

      2. <system id> is SAP:<SID>_<Instance number> on NetWeaver, <hostname> on Redwood Platform

      3. Example: Scheduler TB7@sol05 or SAP CPS TB7@SAP:RIU_09

Recommendation Recommendation

You can also create a new monitor showing SAP CPS data only. This is described in detail in

End of the recommendation.
