CCMS monitoring for DB2/400 database backup.

Hi,
sap on iseries experts,
We need a good monitoring for the alerts from DB2/400 database backup failure with CCMS for a solution manager management.
Actually I don,t see a specific node (or MTE class) inside CCMS for this alert;
But DB12 display well the daily backup status . . . . . . . .
Can anybody help me ?
Kind Regards
Fabio

Hi all,
I'm searching also for such an possibilty.
When running Oracle there is following MTE:
RZ20 -> SAP CCMS Technical Expert Monitors -> All Monitoring Contexts -> Oracle -> Backup/restore -> Backup status -> Last succ
Does anybody know a method to monitor the backup with SAP on Iseries?

CCMS monitoring for adapter engine

Hi,
We have configured CCMS monitoring for Adapter Engine for our client.
In RZ20 im able to see the alerts come up,with the default data that the system provides.
1. I need to send a mail when the alert is triggerred, but if I try to set the autoreaction method, it is greyed out and I get a info saying that the adpter engine node cannot be changed. How do I get over this?
2. Incase im able to set the autoreaction method , I want to send additional information like communication channel name etc in the alert message. How can I change the text in the alert email?
Thanks

How to user storage templates for DB2 Physical Database.

Hello
I cannot find any documentation about the feature "Using storage template for tablespaces and indexes" for DB2 physical database.
I dont know how to use that features, and it problably wil be very useful for us.
Regards
Nelson Rosa

Hi Phillip,
I created two storage templates DataStorageTemplate e IndexStorageTemplate.
Then I associated them in Storage Template Names property.
Then I set Create Tablespace for each Tablespace, Use One Storage Template For Tablespaces and Use One Storage Template For Indexes.
Then I Engineer Logical to DB2 Relational.
After that I notice that tablespaces were created for each table but without storage template associated and more, consulting preferences window the Storage Template Names were vanished.
It seems that are something going bad despite DB2 databases features.

Disable monitoring for "There were database redundancy check failures for database ..."

I'm trying to disable the monitor for a database in a DAG that we don't want to have copies for.
I tried the following, but a few hours later the monitoring alert appears again;
Set-MailboxDatabase –Identity "name” –AutoDagExcludeFromMonitoring $True
Add-GlobalMonitoringOverride -Identity DataProtection\EnableDatabaseMonitoringResponder -ItemType Responder -PropertyName “Enabled” -PropertyValue “0” -Duration 60.00:00:00
Does anybody know how to disable the database redundancy check for a specific database?

Hi,
According to your post, I understand that you want to disable the monitor for a specific database in a DAG.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
I’m afraid we cannot disable the database redundancy check for a specific database.
However if you don’t want this copy, you can remove this corrupted copy then create a new one:
Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity DB1\MBX1 -Confirm:$False

CCMS monitoring for SAPconnect based on Error Message Numbers

Hi,
We are trying to use the CCMS monitoring to produce alerts for SAPconnect based specific Error Message Numbers for emails for example, however the monitoring function or data collection method for SAPconnect (BCOMAL_SXDS) does not provide that level of granularity. Has anybody faced this same problem and can provide a recommendation for this?
Thanks,
Javier

Hello,
You can see the message details in SE91.
In FI, you can control the message number in OBA5. Normally message numbers are issued like this
AA165
First two digits (alpha) is called application area next digits are called message number.
Sometimes, you may not be able to see the messages in OBA5, in such case you need to go to OBMSG transaction code and include the message number to your application area, then you need to come to back to OBA5 to make it information / warning / switch off / error (as the case may be)

CCMS monitoring for Queues(SMQ1/SMQ2)

Hi,
How do we monitor Queues(SMQ1/SMQ2) in CCMS. My requirement is to monitor Queues(SMQ1/SMQ2) in CCMS based on the Queue name. I want to create different nodes in CCMS and I want queue name falling under certain criteria should come and sit in the respective node of CCMS.
Means queue with name High_priority should come n sit under node say Test1, queue name with medium_priority should come n sit under node say Test2 and queue name with medium_priority should come n sit under node say Test3.
Is it possible to do so.

Hello,
also for queue monitoring the easier and more flexible way to monitor is via Business Process Monitoring. The configuration is easier than CCMS where you have to use transaction RZ21 and need to transport objects. And the qRFC monitoring is more flexible than in the CCMS. Basically all customers knowing both standard CCMS qRFC monitoring and qRFC monitoring in BPMon chose the later or exchange their existing CCMS monitoring by BPMon.
See also the SDN blog /people/johannes.fleig/blog/2008/06/11/new-business-process-monitoring-functionalities-in-sap-solution-manager-150-qrfc-monitoring

CCMS Monitoring for specific tcodes

Hello All,
Hope someone can help me out. I have a list of tcodes for a daily check which are:
SM21
ST22
SM37
SM50
DB02
I have configured CCMS correctly and its working to send out alerts via email but only for ST22. I can't seem to find the right MTE class to use for any of the rest listed above. Does anyone know which class I should be using or point me in the direction of how to include these?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Stephanie

Hi Faisal,
Here's an approach to answering the question "does CCMS monitor X". It's not perfect but it will help you find a starting point:
- think of what you want to monitor, not in terms of transaction codes ("how do I monitor transaction SM13") but in terms of the functionality you want to monitor ("how do I detect failed updates?")
- in RZ20, open SAP CCMS Technical Expert Monitors --> All Monitoring Contexts.
- Expand the whole tree with the "Expand all" button. This will show you the entire tree of everything that is currently monitored in your system
- do a text search of the tree for useful keywords (for example "Update"). In this case you will find several possibilities including AbapErrorInUpdate, which I think is the one that you want
- highlight the node and press Properties to get the MTE class, in this case R3AbapErrorInUpdate
There is no exhaustive list anywhere that I can find, that lists every possible thing that CCMS monitors. But the approach above will catch most scenarios. You will come up short in a few scenarios where optional monitoring components are not enabled by default (for example, SAPConnect monitors).
Also be forewarned that often CCMS will not monitor exactly what you want, and you'll have to find ways to monitor around the edges of your true intention. For example, there is no monitor for determining if a background job ran between midnight and 02:00, but you can monitor delay and runtime which can come close to what you want. Part of the art of CCMS monitoring is finding the right combination of monitors that come closest to achieving your objective.
Good luck and happy monitoring,
Jon

Error when running SQL over DB2/400 database

Folks,
I'm trying to execute an SQL statement which works well on DB2/400 but doesn't like it in Java embedded SQL.
The statement looks like this...
select rrn(a) from BLMINTF1 a where RDTUSC = 050106 or RDTADC = 050106 or RDTBPC = 050106 or RDTCDC = 050106 or RDTE1C = 050106
and the error I get is as follows...
java.sql.SQLException: An undefined column name was detected.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

(Oops, ignore the above, a missing /code tag ate most of my post)
So does this work:
select 42 from BLMINTF1 a where RDTUSC = 050106 or RDTADC = 050106 or RDTBPC = 050106 or RDTCDC = 050106 or RDTE1C = 050106
There is a chance that the driver for some odd reason doesn't understand a particular SQL function. That's less likely than a simple typo though. Usually JDBC drivers don't care about the SQL they execute, they just pass it to the server. Command line SQL tools may have extra commands, but rarely functions like that.
I'd still print out the SQL string just before execution. I've seen things like this often enough:
    String s =
        "select x from foo" +
        "where x = 1";Note the lack of space between "foo" and "where", resulting in "foowhere".

Dear Mahmoud,
In the SMTP server settings below you need to replace with your HUB server FQDN if its 2010 or Mailbox server FQDN if its 2013 and after that i think it should work.
<SMTPServer>webmail.domain.com</SMTPServer>

CCMS monitoring for CIF-queues

Hello,
we would like to monitor the number of queue entries in the qRFC in/outbound queues (smq1/smq2). The number of queue entries should be checked every 15 minutes.
We then would like to store the data in the central performance history to get some kind of a load profile for the queues.
We could not find a data collector in the ccms or st03n.
Do you know if there is something available to solve the issue?
Thanks in advance,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
The smq1/smq2 entries changes randomly. So the work around can be
Schedule report RSTRFCM1 for smq1 & RSTRFCM3 for smq2 after every 15mins.
Then from sm37 for those job --> spool tab
In this you can get Display of Queue entries.

CCMS Monitoring for Average HTTP response time

Hi guys ,
Is it possible to monitor Av. response time for HTTP(this is based on ST03) using CCMS ?
Thanks in advance
George

hi
As per my understanding you tried to view the responsetime comp as same like in sto3 by ccms, the way as below, RZ20-> SAP CCMS montior templates- >Entiresystem-><sid>->application server -><server>R3 services -> DIalog you can get all the response time as same in the ST03.
else in otherway if you looking for monitoring Java and webdynpro, you can do this by GRMG.chk this for to knw http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/45/4ee37fea5917eae10000000a155369/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/45/4ee37fea5917eae10000000a155369/content.htm]

Recommendations for recovery catalog database backup

Hi
We are using IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for our 9i db on AIX 5.2.
I would like us to consider using rman but I am not sure of the best way we would go about backing up the database we would use for our recovery catalog.
This database that hold all the metadata would need to be backed up after every rman backup. The rman backup would go to tape, so I am assuming that the recovery catalog would be backed up on tape also.
What are the common procedures for this in other shops ?

Dan A wrote:
Aman. That doc does help, and indeed it does explain
Back up the recovery catalog with the same frequency that you back up the target database.
We would be doing nightly backups, so we would have to back up the catalog with the same frequency.
The doc explains that we would use rman for these backups also, but that it would be in NOCATALOG mode so that the repository is in the control file.
And then what? Just copy this to tape? Seems that with rman there is then a need to do two backups - one of the target db and one of the recovery catalog.
Thanks.I shall suggest to take an export of the underlying schema which is holding the info in the recovery catalog. That's all which is basically required to be safe. In case , everything gets burnt regarding the catalog db,you can immediately create another db, import the user back there and things are in place. This should be a quick and easy way out of the backup of recovery catalog.
Yes if you are going to take backups every night than backup of recovery catalog schema/db nightly will be a good option. Docs are meant to promote people for RMAN so indeed they would talk about it. But its not at all a compulstion to use RMAN for recovery catalog schema's backup. If its a big catalog maintaining lots of database's info than using RMAN with all its features is a good option. If a single db is a part of it than it may not be that much big and export of teh schema alone may serve the purpose too.

CCMS Monitor for SMTP-Service via ICM SMTP-Plugin

Dear all,
we configured our SAP System for sending emails with the help of transaction SCOT. We are using the SMTP-Plugin brought in by the ICM. Everything works fine. Now we want to report how many emails are sent through that connection. For that we want to connect the SMTP-Plugin to the CCMS. Since I havn't found any documentation of that (the existing documentation is discussing how to configure an ordinary SCOT connection for CCMS), I'd like to ask somebody for help.
thanks in advance

http://www.spamhaus.org says:
Mail servers only run spam filters such as Spamhaus PBL on port 25, so if you find you are being blocked by the PBL when you try to send mail to your mail server that means you are not communicating with the mail server on the 'authenticated' port 587 but you're still on port 25. This means your 'SMTP Authentication' is not working correctly.
http://wiki.gandi.net/en/mail/standard-settings#smtp-account says:
SMTP Account
Name server : mail.gandi.net
Port : 25, 465 (with SSL) or 587 (try one or the other)
TLS or SSL: yes
SMTP Authentication : yes, using the same settings as for the POP / IMAP account
I was trying to use the same settings I have used for several years with Thunderbird and Apple Mail, ie SSL on port 465.
Is there something wrong with my settings which could be preventing mailx from using port 465?
A few debug tips would be appreciated.
Your link causes me to ask: Does the mailx on Leopard support SMTP directly?

New-DPMRecoveryOption CopyToFolder for an Exchange database backup

I'm trying to restore an Exchange database from DPM 2010 into the file system using powershell. I'm able to perform this action in the DPM GUI simply by selecting the "Copy to a Network Folder" option. When I try this in powershell I
fail when creating the recovery option object. Here's what I'm trying:
$Pg = Get-DPMProtectionGroup –DPMServerName "DPM"
$Ds = Get-DPMDatasource -ProtectionGroup $Pg[0]
$RecoveryObject = Get-DPMRecoverypoint -Datasource $Ds[0] | Sort -Property RepresentedPointInTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
$RecoveryOption = New-DPMRecoveryOption -TargetServer "DPM" -RecoveryLocation CopyToFolder -RecoveryType Recover -TargetLocation "f:\test"
Restore-DPMRecoverableItem -RecoverableItem $RecoveryObject -RecoveryOption $RecoveryOption
I get the following error on the New-DPMRecoveryOption command:
New-DPMRecoveryOption : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters.
I've tried a few dozen permutations of the available options, but I continue to get the same error message. I'm not seeing much documentation to explain all these options. Any guidance is appreciated.
