Installing CCMS Agents for SAP
NetWeaver Components
Purpose
The section of this process describe how you can install and register the appropriate CCMS agents in the context of a standard installation of SAP NetWeaver components.
These descriptions therefore extend the process Installing and Registering CCMS Agents, which describes the installation and registration of CCMS agents in general terms, and which explains all individual settings.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled in every case for the installation and registration of a CCMS agent:
· You have a central monitoring system (CEN). If possible, reserve a separate SAP system for monitoring and system management. Do not use a production system for this purpose, to avoid unnecessary load on the system. If you are using a separate SAP system, you can always maintain this system at the most up-to-date status with regard to releases or Support Packages without any problems, meaning that you can always profit from the newest developments in the areas of monitoring and system management.
· There is a CSMREG user in CEN. If this is not yet the case, create the user by proceeding as follows:
...
a. In CEN, call transaction RZ21, and choose Technical Infrastructure → Configure Central System → Create CSMREG User.
b.
Enter and
reenter any password for this user, and confirm your entries by choosing
(Create CSMREG).
For more detailed information about the authorizations that the user requires,
see
Creating the CSMREG
User.
· During the registration of the agent, you require connection data from the agent to CEN. We recommend that you generate this data in a CSMCONF file in CEN before the registration. Proceed as follows:
...
a. In CEN, call transaction RZ21, and choose Technical Infrastructure → Configure Central System → Create Start CSMCONF for Agents.
b. Save the file at a location that is centrally available, since you require the file for all agent registrations.
· You have the required executables for the CCMS agents. To download these, proceed as follows:
...
a. You require the file CCMAGENT.SAR. This archive contains all CCMS agents, including SAPCCMSR, SAPCCM4X, and SAPCM3X.
b. Download the archive CCMAGENT.SAR. You can find it in the SAP Software Distribution Center of the SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/swdc). Log on using your SAP Service Marketplace ID.
c. In the navigation bar, choose Download → Support Packages and Patches → Entry by Application Group → SAP NetWeaver → SAP NETWEAVER → SAP NETWEAVER 04 → Entry by Component → AS ABAP → SAP KERNEL 6.40 32/64-BIT → <operating system> → Database Independent.
d. Decompress the archive CCMAGENT.SAR using the SAPCAR tool, which you can find under Additional Components in the SAP Software Distribution Center. Use the following command to decompress the files:
sapcar –xvf CCMAGENT_<Version>.SAR
If you cannot find the archive for your operating system there, proceed as described in Downloading CCMS Agents.
Process Flow
To installa and register a CCMS agent for one of the following components, follow the description under the appropriate link:
· Installing an Agent on an ABAP Instance
· Installing an Agent on a Java Instance (Java Standalone System)
· Installing an Agent on a Java Instance (Double-Stack System)
· Installing an Agent on a SAP Web AS 6.20 Java Instance/Other Host
If you want to monitor a system with CCMS agents, you require an agent for every instance (central instance and possible dialog instances) of the system. In the case of Java standalone and double-stack systems, this is automatically ensured, in the case of ABAP systems, you need to install the appropriate agent for each instance of the system.
Result
After you have completed the registration, the CCMS agent transfers monitoring information for the relevant component to CEN. For information about displaying this monitoring information, see Displaying Agent Data in the Central Monitoring System.
