Control SAPOSCOL on Remote Hosts

Use

If a CCMS agent is running on a remote host that is registered with a central system, you can start and stop SAPOSCOL on the remote host and display its log file dev_coll in the operating system monitor (transaction OS07).

Prerequisites

The agent of the remote host must have the following information in its profile:

To start and stop SAPOSCOL, the agent requires the complete path of SAPOSCOL in profile parameter exe/saposcol.

To display dev_coll, the agent requires the working directory of SAPOSCOL in the profile parameter DIR_PERF.

If you start or stop SAPOSCOL using a CCMS agent, the agent uses its profile to start and stop SAPOSCOL. This means that the newly started SAPOSCOL has DIR_PERF of the agent as its working directory. This means that the agent has a connection to exactly one version of the SAPOSCOL program, so that there is no confusion if there are multiple installed versions of SAPOSCOL.

If you first stop and then restart SAPOSCOL using an agent, the working directory of SAPOSCOL can adjust to the working directory of the agent. This means that data is not lost.

Example

The agent SAPCCMSR with the working directory /usr/sap/agents is to be able to start and stop /usr/sap/tmp/saposcol. The agent must therefore be started with a profile:

sapccmsr -<parameters> pf=AgentProfile.pfl

with AgentProfile.pfl:

DIR_PERF=/usr/sap/agents
exe/saposcol=/usr/sap/tmp/saposcol

SAPOSCOL therefore automatically uses DIR_PERF of the agent.

The agent SAPCCM4X is to be able to start and stop C:\usr\sap\CEN\SYS\exe\run\saposcol.exe. SAPOSCOL has the working directory C:\saploc\PRFCLOG. The agent was started with:

sapccm4x -<parameters> pf=<SAPInstanceProfile>

with <SAPInstanceProfile>:

DIR_PERF=C:\saploc\PRFCLOG
exe/saposcol=C:\usr\sap\BCE\SYS\exe\
run\saposcol.exe

SAPOSCOL uses DIR_PERF as its working directory.
