Setting Up GRMG Monitoring of the ICM 

Use

Use GRMG Lite to monitor the availability of the Internet Communication Manager (ICM) of an SAP NW AS ABAP.

The ICM in an SAP NW AS Java is already included in the standard GRMG monitoring (see Setting UP GRMG Monitoring of the J2EE Engine).

Prerequisites

The URL monitored by GRMG Lite is a service of the Internet Communication Framework (ICF), which must be active. To activate the service, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      Start transaction SICF.

       2.      If it does not happen automatically, call the ICF hierarchy with the hierarchy type SERVICE by choosing  (Execute).

       3.      In the Virtual Hosts / Services tree, expand the entry default_host → sap → bc → ccms → monitoring → GRMG_APP.

       4.      Activate the service by selecting the service and choosing Service/Host → Activate from the menu.

Procedure

...

       1.      Start transaction GRMG. The Generic Request and Message Generator screen appears.

       2.      Choose the button  Edit/Delete → Create GRMG Lite Scenario, and confirm the subsequent query.

       3.      On the following screen, Create GRMG Scenario, enter details about the name and description of the scenario and the component in the Scenario Specifications group box. In this way, you determine the name under which the scenario is displayed in the Alert Monitor, and the MTE classes to which the corresponding nodes belong. You can enter the following data:

Input Field	Description
Scenario Name	Determines the MTE class of the monitoring context (the MTE class of the monitoring context is GRMG_<scenario name>)
Version (Scenario)	Field, which you can leave empty, since GRMG has automatic version numbering
Description (Context Name)	Name of the monitoring context and therefore of the root node under which the scenario is displayed in the Alert Monitor
URL/RFC Destination	In the input field The scenarios uses, choose the radio button A URL.
Component name	Determines the MTE class of the summary node (GRMG_<scenario name>_<component name>) and of the monitoring object (GRMG_<component name>_OBJ)
Version (Component)	Field, which you can leave empty, since GRMG has automatic version numbering
Description (Superordinate Name)	Name of the summary node and therefore of the subtree that contains the availability and the status messages for the monitored URL

       4.      In the HTTP Test Method group box, choose the HTTP HEAD entry; choose  Create.

       5.      On the Edit GRMG Customizing screen, make the following entry in the URL/Destination input field: http://<Host>:<Port>/sap/bc/ccms/monitoring/GRMG_APP

With the usual configuration, the port is the standard port for HTTP. You can determine this, for example, by calling transaction SMICM and then choosing the menu path Goto → Parameters → Display and finding the port listed under Services for the entry PROT=HTTP.

       6.      In the Editable Properties table, enter the connection data for the user with which you want to log on to the above service. Enter the following Editable Properties:

Property Name	Type	Property Value
LOGON_USER		<user> The user requires only restricted authorizations, such as User CSMREG.
LOGON_PASSWORD	PW	<Password>
USE_BASIC_AUTHENTICATION		X
LOGON_CLIENT		<User’s client>

       7.      In addition to the availability itself, you can also determine the response time of the Web site (Measuring the Runtime of Availability Monitoring with the GRMG).

       8.      Save your entries and exit the editing screen by choosing  Exit.

       9.      To start the scenario, select the corresponding row, and choose the  Start button.

Result

You have set up and started the availability monitoring of the ICM.
