CCMS in solman & CCMS in CEN

Hi,
what is the diff betweem using CCMS monitoring in Sol man & CCMS monitoring in CEN.
Thanks in advance

Hi Kobby,
No difference. Both same. CCMS through solution manager called CEN monitoring. Which mean you are configuring CCMS centrally. solution manager will be your central system since your are configuring CCMS on solution manager for satellite system. I hope I made you clear on this.
Thanks,

/CCM/MINIMUM_QUANTITY[1]#/CCM/QUANTITY_VALUE

Dear all,
we try to upload a csv 2.0 file.
Everything works fine when we don´t use "/CCM/MINIMUM_QUANTITY[1]#/CCM/QUANTITY_VALUE" and "/CCM/MINIMUM_QUANTITY[1]#/CCM/UNIT_CODE"
But we need the fields.
Which value is expected from CCM in this field? "/CCM/MINIMUM_QUANTITY[1]#/CCM/QUANTITY_VALUE"
We tried 1, 0,1, 0.1 nothing worked.
Data Type is "exponent"
Thanks in advance
Ralf

Hey.
we solved it.
The one [1] was the problem
/CCM/MINIMUM_QUANTITY[1]#/CCM/QUANTITY_VALUE -> wrong
/CCM/MINIMUM_QUANTITY#/CCM/QUANTITY_VALUE -> correct

CCMS in SOLMAN (setting up CCM4x agents, CSMCONF-File)

Hi!
I would like to monitor SRM 5.0 and R/3 Enterprise Server 4.7 from my SOLMAN 4.0.
<b>Is that right to install the CCM4x agents on the these satelite systems?
What is the content of the CSMCONF-File, that I am generating from SOLMAN centrally as well as on the both satelite systems?
With wich Client should I generate the CSMREG-user from SOLMAN? (000, 001 or my producitve client)?</b>
Thank you very much!
regards
Axel

Hi Axel,
Shortly answering to your questions:
There are three types of agents available for monitoring
- sapccm4x agent is required to monitor a remote ABAP instance (you need one agent registered pro ABAP instance)
- sapccmsr agent (required to monitor a host without ABAP instance-> e.g. a stand alone host)
- ccmsping - required to setup technical system availability monitoring of ABAP/JAVA systems and instances
1) advantages of using sapccm4x agents is that you can get the monitoring data actively pushed to CEN. Also it is possible to setup central autoreacions and use Alert Management Framework (ALM) efficiently.
sapccmsr agents from my point of view are useful only for logfile monitoring and OS process monitring. To monitor a java-instance with sapccmsr agent is from my point of view useless, since with the default J2EE monitoring content deliverd in CCMS it is not possible to detect a critical situation in areaof perfromance and on the other hand activation of sapccmsr agent could cause severe performance problems if logfile monitorig of J2EE is not deactivated (SAP Note 867773). So, for ABAP instance I would do recommend use sapccm4x, for JAVA instances I would recommend to setup sapccmsr agent for CPU Utilization of single J2EE server Nodes all the other data you have to take from Wily IS.
2) What is the content of the CSMCONF-File, that I am generating from SOLMAN centrally as well as on the both satelite systems?
csmconf file is a configuration file of sapccm.. agents (CEN system ID, client, users, etc)-> it is generated automatically in dialog mode if it does not yet exists
you can get a very good description in the document
http://service.sap.com/monitoring -> Media Library _> Documentation -> "..Agents:Insallation and usage.pdf"
3) With wich Client should I generate the CSMREG-user from SOLMAN? (000, 001 or my producitve client)?
it does not matter in wich client CSMREG user is generated. This user is used in order to actively push monitoring data to CEN-> the client where you start transactions like RZ20 and/or DSWP is O.k.
4) Can you please describe the technical steps (SOLMAN-side, satelite systems side)?
it depends on which functionality you are going to use for monitoring.
there are following possibilities:
1. sattelite systems->CEN( tr. RZ20) -> Autoreactions / ALM
2. sattelite systems ->CEN (tr. RZ20) -> IBM Tivoli/HP OVO -> tickets (directly or via Service Desk)
3. sattelite systems -> CEN (tr. RZ20) -> SAP Solution Manager (tr. DSWP)
I would recommend either 1. or 2.
for the case 1. you should install on sattelite systems sapccms4x/sapccmsr agents and then configure RZ20 / ALM in CEN
for the case 3. check the SAP Note 1023959: "FAQ:System Monitoring Customizing in Solution Manager"

CCMS: transfer the data to CEN

Hi!
In order to analyse the performance problems within SAP Solution Manager I would like to get more information about:
- How collects SAP Solution Manager the alert data from CEN? (case: SOLMAN=CEN)
- how can I check which data transfer mechanism will be used for the transfer the alert information from satellite systems to CEN?
a) push
b) pull
Any helpful information will be very appreciated!
regards
Thom

1. Specify CEN as a destination and pull it in from there just like any other system I believe
2. CCMS will pull data from systems as required by collecting mechanisms.... via the agent if it is up, otherwise via the RFC destination. Alerts however are pushed via the agent.

Hi,
There are no error in RFC chckes.
only below warnings are coming.
Connection Test SID_RZ20_COLLECT
Connection Type SAP Connection
On HP multiprocessor machines, the specified time values may be incorrect.

But whenevr we unlock the CSMREG user in central monitring clinet user gets lock with 5 min with below error
Password logon not possible (too many incorrect attempts)
Followed below solution:
Set password as per SAP note:987166
deleted user CSMREG from central monitoring system and created again via RZ21 as per guide in Service market place.
but still facing the same user lock issue.
Now how we can resoulve this issue.
due to this user lock issue i am not able to create remote monitoring entry for ABAP stack always geting below error.

Solman CCMS alerts are send with delay

Hello all,
I have set up the availability monitoring with CCMSPING in SolutionManager (EHP1). In rz20 the alert is shown directly after the system crash/downtime etc but the email is send some time later.
Example: Alert in CCMS 07:00:38 CET
Alert sent with SCOT 07:36:50 CET
Emailjob is scheduled every 5 minutes. Does anyone has an idea which causes such a delay?
Thanks
Michael

Hi Michael,
Check in SOST when these mails have been triggered . If it is sent at correct time and received with a delay , then it is an issue with network conjustions . Also check the system time in Tcode STZAC and check whether the time settings are correct .
Eg. Time zone is set correct for the system as well as users etc .

CCMS: where does CCMS collects the database space information from?

Hi,
We are experiencing a kind of inconsistency in the data that CCMS is collecting for the space tablespaces related MTE's. Here is the thing:
- RZ20 > SAP CCMS Monitoring Templates > Database : will show the PSAPSRQ tablespace at 94% (which is wrong)
- DB02 will show the same tablespace at 88% (which is the correct value)
- BRSPACE will also show the 88% (the correct value)
Note that CCMS is do active and collecting (the value is not obsolete as you can actually see the timestamp being updated for the respective used space MTE).
Do you know why are we seeing this inconsistency? Where does CCMS collect the tablespace information and how often?
Any ideas or help to avoid this inconsistency will be helpful, as basically CCMS is sending us false alerts/emails.
Thanks and regards

Jesus,
I just came across this issue myself after assuming that I was collecting the correct data. The problem is that SAP is collecting the column Total Used (%) in DB02 instead of Used (%). You should see your 94% as reported in CCMS in the Total Used column in DB02.
What we need is the Used (%) column which is much more critical than the Total Used (%).
I have not found an MTE to report this data. Until then, we have to manually check every server for Tablespace levels instead of in our Central CCMS.
If you have a solution, please send.
Thanks,
Jeff

Configuring HP-Openview to monitor alerts of CCMS in SAP system via SOLMAN

Hi All,
I need to configure CCMS in SOLMAN and then monitor the same alerts via HP-Openview because thats what is used in my company to monitor alerts.I have a few queries regarding the same:
1. Is it possible to configure CCMS in SOLMAN and then monitor the same alerts via HP-Openview.
2. How actually does HP-Openview work regarding picking up monitoring data from CCMS in SAP.
3. Does it work like CCMS would be generating logs of the alerts and stored some where and we could congigure HP-OV to look for a keyword in the logfile by giving HP-OV the path of that logfile and as soon as it comes across that keyword it would generate an alert.
4. Do we need any addon to be downloaded ( also want to know whether its free or cost is involved) and configured in SAP under CCMS that would help Hp-OV to detect alerts.

Ashish Robinson

i think so.. i have seen somewhere..
I will get back to you on this.

CCMS & Me !!

guys, I have already read the documentation on help.sap.com and also ADM106 and ADM107 courses. So i am not gonna ask you about how to configure this and that. However, I have some basic questions about CCMS that I need some clarification on.
We have a 3 system ECC 6.0 landscape with dev, qa and prod. systems. My main goal of using CCMS is to use availability monitoring among other monitors. I would like to choose a CEN out of the 3 systems, but I do not understand which one to setup as CEN. In the SAP course documentation and advise from a basis friend tells me to setup the PROD system as CEN. But my question is that if i setup PROD as CEN, then how do i get alerted ( i plan to setup email auto alert norification) when the the CEN (i.e PROD) instances are down itself ???? In other words, if my Production Central Instance goes down due to lets say OS failure, then how will i get alerted because SAP wont be able to send any alert notification through email ??? And ofcourse Production is the system that one would be most worried about. So, Is setting up DEV or QA as the CEN a better option ????
Secondly, we also have sol man 7.0. I understand that you can use sol man to display the alerts in your satellite systems including the CEN in sol man. So, does this mean that sol man is only used to display all the alerts in a central location. It does not really do anything on its own, like auto reactions etc. Hence, even if i setup sol man and connect it to all my 3 systems, and lets say my Production DB server is down due to a power outage, no alert would get generated by sol man ???? OR WILL ONE BE ??? Also lets say the QA db server goes down. So will the auto reaction email be sent out from the my CEN (the production system) or the Sol. man ?
Thanks for reading. Any inputs would be appreciated.

Hi,
As you mentioned that you have a Solution Manager in your landscape, I would recommend to setup the
SolMan as the CEN itself. SAP ITSAM Standard experts suggested me the same. The SolMan configur-
ation automatically connects it to the SMP. Furthermors, all you need to do is register the three
systems DEV, QA and PROD onto the SolMan.
Registering systems from availability monitoring is explained in the setup documents in SMP:
http://service.sap.com/solutiomanager
Once the systems are registered, any changes to the systems is notified via the SolMan/CEN.

Configuring CCMS alerts for Availablity Monitoring

Hi All,
We are in the process of configuring availablity monitoring in central system (solution Manager 7.0 with SP stack 23) to monitor all systems (ABAP,Java,Dual Stack, Trex,DMS,etc) in landscape.
As a first step, we have registered CCMS agents in monitored (ABAP) system and connected to central system (Solman)
All the required RFCu2019s have been defined for data transfer between monitored and central system
In RZ20,i could see the availablity as 100% for the defined moniored system under SAP CCMS Technical Expert Monitors>All Contexts on Local Application Server>CCMS self monitoring >CCMS agents>CCMSPING.hostname
Not sure whether above path is the place where in we look for alerts
Please clarify the below points
i) how to configure the email alerts (in RZ20) from the central system when monitored system is down
ii) the path in which I can find the alerts in RZ20 for that monitored system or how to add the monitored system incase if that doesnt exists
iii) MTE class under which analysis, auto reaction method to be assigned ?
iv). data collection method and frequency
v). Which MTE class to be used to assign the Autoreaction method (CCMS_test_mail alredy defined)
Appreciate your quick response on this
Thanks,
vadi

Hi All,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Still i m having an issue in handling the RZ20 alerts managemnent
In RZ20,
i) i able to see the added monitoried system id under the node CCMS Monitor templates>Availablity & performance overview>Availablity-->monitored sys id
ii) When i click on open staus for the above node turns to green color
ii) when i click on current status the node turns to grey color
I am not sure whether the data collection is being passed since it doesnt turn red when the system is down
However the dispatching jobs are active in both CEN and monitored (000 client) systems
Appreciate your response
Thanks,
Vadi

CCMS Agents - sapccmsr

Hi,
I have read some of the existing threads on here about CCMS agents but it seems it does not answer some of my questions. I am setting up ccms system monitoring using SolMan, as the CEN. So far i have used sapccm4x to monitor our standalone ABAP systems and i have used sapccmsr to monitor our double stack systems (ABAP/Java). Now from what i can analyse on the system, it seems double stack systems have 2 profile files, one for ABAP instance and one for Java instance both, which have different instance numbers. Now if i start sapccmsr with the option -j2ee using the ABAP instance profile it says it cannot start becuase -j2ee is for java instance not ABAP, so that i can understand. If i wanted to use sapccmsr to monitor the java instance i could use the java instance profile but with the option -j2ee or alternatively i could go into the Visual Administrator and setup sapcmmsr there...correct??
I have also used ccmsping for availability monitoring all ABAP instances and used GRMG heartbeat availability monitoring for Java instance in visual admin.
Other thing that puzzled me was that to centrally check all systems we use the RZ20 in CEN to check threshold levels, which we need to set?
I would use DSWP txn -> Solution Monitoring for setup the thresholds on user defined entries.
thanks,
Mani

Hi,
To answer your question--
1. If i wanted to use sapccmsr to monitor the java instance i could use the java instance profile but with the option -j2ee or alternatively i could go into the Visual Administrator and setup sapcmmsr there...correct??
For java stack, you need to use correct command for registering SAPCCMSR, with -j2ee option and with correct java profile, once it is registered, you need to have correct settings define in Visual Admin also.
2. Other thing that puzzled me was that to centrally check all systems we use the RZ20 in CEN to check threshold levels, which we need to set?
I would use DSWP txn -> Solution Monitoring for setup the thresholds on user defined entries
Any one option you can use above, ideally RZ20 was used along with appropriate threshold values, but now we can also make use of DSWP, for satellite system configuration.

Forwarding Application Error in ABAP Proxy to CCMS

Hi,
We are using fault messages for inbound ABAP proxy interfaces to capture application errors, and we can see the error in the monitoring of ECC. However, Is there a way, we can forward it to CCMS of ECC (and not XI), because we want to use an external tool linked to CCMS via SOLMAN to get alerted in case of application errors.
Best regards,
Rahul Kumar

Is there a way of getting the above thing done? I have a very similar Issue.
Rahul if you have found out a way of doing the same please let me know by email. [email protected]

CCMS Sending too much Email (every few min from the same alert).

Hi everyone,
We have recently setup CCMS in SOLMAN to monitor all of our ECC6 systems. Using auto-reactions we have any critical alerts sent to our pagers via email (SMTP).
Setting this up worked fine, however, we are finding ourselves in this mess:
When we trigger an alert, it seems that the alert just keeps producing hundreds of email messages...
Is there a way to have each alert found produce 1 or 3 email messages - then stop? It may take some time to correct an alert, but, we do not want to be paged every 2-5 min with tons of email (one per first time triggering it would be awesome).
Thanks in advance for any help you can give us.
Richard

Please see [this thread|Configure GRMG alert to just send one email/auto-reaction;.

Sean
P.S. I looked at your other messages and see you have a history of not awarding points to people who answer your questions. I almost ignored this question because of that.

CCMS setup on a Microsoft Clustered Environment

Hi All,
I am in the process of setting up CCMS alerts in the Central system(Sol Man) on a Microsoft Clustered environment. The Satellite systems that I want to add to the Central system are Microsoft Clustered. Can anyone help me with the steps or documents that you have to setup the above request.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Kal.

there is no difference in setting up the CCMS in Solman, whether the landscape environment is Clustered or not..
you can use the link to get .sim tutorials to setup the CCMS in Solman and refer the SDN link to setup the monitoring, both will help you
http://service.sap.com/rkt-Solman
select the solman version, go to Technology Consultants and download the .sim files as per your requirements
