DBACOCKPIT | Alert Monitor problems

Hello,
I have a the following problem:
SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0
on the <SID>
-CheckDB is running every day at 6:00 am succesfully
-TA DBACOCKPIT | Alerts | Database Check - lists all warnings and errors
-TA DBACOCKPIT | Alerts | Alert Monitor - tree "SAP consistency" is marked with a white cross inside a grey circle
-TA DBACOCKPIT | Alerts | Alert Monitor - tree "Performance | Checkpoints" is marked with a white cross inside a grey circle
-TA DBACOCKPIT | Alerts | Alert Monitor - tree "Space management | Segments" is marked with a white cross inside a grey circle
Any ideas?
Thanks
ps: the old thread [SolMan|MTE "<SID>\Oracle\SAP consistency\" values too old;

Hi Patrick,
in order for the data being correctly collected and displayed you
need to maintain TCOLL according to note
#966309 - Contents of table TCOLL in SAP_BASIS 700
and schedule the job SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_PERFMONITOR hourly in client
000 with the user DDIC or a user with the same authorizations.
You also need to schedule the job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP, since it is
needed to start tools and methods in the system monitoring area.
The job must be scheduled hourly (please also refer to notes #16083 and
#939616).
Is there also no data under these nodes in RZ20 ?
Please check the steps listed under solution in note #819961, you may need to reset the data collection method.
regards,
Paul

Hi,
SAP supports up to IE6.0 and has delivered that IE 7 and 8 are having quite a few issues with web reporting. Check SAP notes to resolve it.

Alert Monitor Problem (Fields are Invisible)

Hello All,
In SCM 4.0 we have written an User Exit to add own customer specific fields. It was working in SCM 4. Now after our upgrade we are not able to view our customer specific fields in the alert monitor. The BADI is still active and when I debugged the BADI everything (addition of field catlog and value population) seems to fine. Please let me know if any need to maintain any additional setting to make our fields visible in the alert monitor.
Thanks,
Siva.

I think something is still missing in your layout setting. Display the alerts in the alert monitor . After that go to change layout (the layout icon is the second one to the left of delete icon). When you say change layout a popup screen will be displayed with 2 sections "displayed columns" and "column set". Pull the additional fields from the column set to the displayed columns section and save the layout. (SAP will ask for a custom name , and you cannot save a std layout. So u have to give a custom name). When this is done and the alerts are regenerated the additional fields should defenitely get displayed.
In case you dont see the additional fields in the column set itself ,then it means you do not have those characteristics in your system. You have to check RSD1 in that case.

XI Alert Categories in CCMS alert monitor

We defined an alert category through ALRTCATDEF and we generate alerts using SALRT_CREATE_LOCAL in the Graphical and Java mapping. We would like these alerts to be visible in CCMS alert monitor in addition to XI alert inbox. We have done config specified in the SAP documentation to get the RWB alerts in CCMS alert monitor, but only the alert categories for which alert rules are defined in RWB are visible, at the moment. IS this because we dont have an alert rule for the alert categories called by SALRT_CREATE_LOCAL,we are not able to see them in CCMS? Is there a way to get around this problem and get these alerts also in the CCMS ?

Alert monitoring and fault message types

Hello,
this is a topic about two questions:
a) is it correct that alert monitoring is only possible in XI when using an integration process (BPM) and not for simple communication scenarios like IDOC -> file ?
b) how can I use the fault message in the message interface? (OK, I implement it, and then? where can I make it visible in the monitoring?)
10 points for answering in your own words instead of providing a link to SAP standard documentation!
(standard docs in XI look like they never giving a real answer, only something like 70 %! And the rest is trial and error!)
Oh, here is
c) When clicking on the alert inbox / configuration buttos in the RWB it looks like the addresses cannot be reached. How to fix that?
Best regards
Dirk

Hello guys,
these answers send me more happy to weekend!
Ok, not easy now to give points. Nobody answered 100 % but in total you solved my problems and answered my questions!
The OSS Michal gave solved my problem with the RWB access to alert config. (Where does this placing of the 5xx00 come from I had to replace in different places by 80xx ? >-( )
Thanks for the new challenge, Michal! we are working on SP12 and happy about it running now!
Hope to find a developer with your skills to implement alert messaging w/o using BPM!
Thanks for the answer about fault message and the link, Sudhir! Ok, with the rest, Michal was a little bit faster!
Best regards
Dirk

Alert monitor in PHP

Hi
I've been trying to build an alert monitor in PHP that gets data from the CCMS. I'm new to SAP but not to PHP.
The saprfc works just fine and I'm able to test function modules with the saprfc_test.php. I've seen the tutorial on how to get alert data (CPU utilization) from the CCMS. And it works fine. So what's the problem you ask?
If anyone here have tried the SAP CCMS plugin for Nagios they know that all you need (almost all you need) is to provide the long name of the MTE e.g SID\system_SID_01\R3Services\Background\AbortedJobs and you get the alert message that you see in RZ20.
I've found several function modules that gives me the value of a monitor leaf node, but only the ones with a number as a value (percent CPU usage, MB disk space left +++). If I try to get data from e.g AbortedJobs i get nothing.
I've found one function module that gives me the data that e.g AbortedJobs shows (SALR_MTE_STAT_MSG_READ_CUR_VAL) but this one won't of course show leaf nodes with numbers...
The nagios plugin uses:
BAPI_SYSTEM_MON_GETTREE
BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETMLCURVAL
BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETPERFCURVAL
BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETSMVALUE and
BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETTXTPROP
I'm having trouble trying any of these in my test application. The return array is:
Array
    [TYPE] => E
    [ID] => RA
    [NUMBER] => 346
    [MESSAGE] => Problems accessing database (function 'BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETMLCURVAL')
    [LOG_NO] =>
    [LOG_MSG_NO] => 0
    [MESSAGE_V1] => BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETMLCURVAL
    [MESSAGE_V2] =>
    [MESSAGE_V3] =>
    [MESSAGE_V4] =>
    [PARAMETER] =>
    [ROW] => 0
    [FIELD] =>
    [SYSTEM] =>
Someone have to have tried to build a custom CCMS monitor of some sort?
My idea is that the leaf nodes I want to pull from the CCMS is defined in an XML file:
<SYSTEM>SolMan</SYSTEM>
<MONITOR>Aborted Jobs</MONITOR>
<MEASUREMENT>-</MEASUREMENT>
<MTSYSID>SID</MTSYSID>
<MTMCNAME>system_SID_01</MTMCNAME>
<MTNUMRANGE>032</MTNUMRANGE>
<MTUID>0000000003</MTUID>
<MTCLASS>102</MTCLASS>
<MTINDEX>0000002308</MTINDEX>
<EXTINDEX>0000000050</EXTINDEX>
and then I can list them as I want on the screen.
I really hope someone can come with some pointers and shed some light on this. It would be much appreciated.

Ok, at least now I have something working. But it has its limitations. This could probably be written as a wiki entry, but I don't feel that the code is ready for the public yet. This is used against our Solution Manager which monitors all other systems.
This is how I have build it:
Everything I want to monitor is defined in an XML file
<monitor>
<System>
   <SID>
     <set>
       <MONITOR>Shortdumps</MONITOR>
       <TYPE>alert</TYPE>
       <MTSYSID>SID</MTSYSID>
       <MTMCNAME>system_SID_01</MTMCNAME>
       <MTNUMRANGE>010</MTNUMRANGE>
       <MTUID>0000001797</MTUID>
       <MTCLASS>102</MTCLASS>
       <MTINDEX>0000000174</MTINDEX>
       <EXTINDEX>0000000008</EXTINDEX>
      </set>
    </SID>
</System>
</monitor>
where you have as many customers as you want, each customer has of course several systems (CRM, ERP, BW) and within each system everything that should be monitored is defined within the <set> tag. <MONITOR> is a label defined by the user, <TYPE> can be alert, disk or availability. This is only for grouping similar monitors together and list them as I want.
The rest inside the <set> is information SAP needs.
If a monitor set is disk or availability I call the
BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETPERFCURVAL
to get the integer value (e.g. 3454, as in 3454MB free disk space).
No mater what kind of type the monitor is I call
BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETGENPROP
to get the alert value (1,2 or 3).
For now I'm only interested in yellow or red alerts so if the alert level is >1 I call
BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETALERTS
to get the alert data I need to look up the alert message.
The alert message is taken from
BAPI_SYSTEM_ALERT_GETDETAILS
The results are written to an XML file with the same structure as the input XML file except the data inside the <set> contains the data I want to show.
<monitor>
<System>
    <SID>
      <set>
        <MONITOR>Free Data Space</MONITOR>
        <TYPE>alert</TYPE>
        <ALERT>3</ALERT>
        <MSG>Some message from SAP CCMS here</MSG>
        <ALRELEVVAL>the integer value if type is disk or availability</ALRELEVVAL>
      </set>
    </SID>
</System>
</monitor>
Now that I have the data I can list it any way I want. E.g. grouping everything with type disk together to have an own place on the screen with disk monitoring or listing all alerts within the same System and SID.
This is of course not an optimal solution. Right now I have 56 monitor sets which takes about 20 seconds to check even though the SAP system is on the local network. There are also no alerts in the system right now so none of the function modules within the IF alert > 1 are checked either. If there are a lot of alerts the time will increase drastically. Guess I need to ask an ABAP person...
Any ideas / improvements are appreciated

Middleware Alert Monitor

Hi,
I have a query about the MW Monitoring Cockpit (SMWP). In the Monitoring Tools section there is an entry called 'Status of CRM Middleware Alert Monitor'. Within that there is tree structure with one entry called:
CRM Middleware BDoc-Msg. in the Flow\...\Status of BDoc Messages
Our system has hundreds of error messages in there for BUPA_MAIN and BUPA_REL. But when I double-click them there are no errors in the BDOC status summary. Can anyone tell me what these errors are? They don't seem to be causing any problems but I would still like to get rid of the 'Red' entries in the cockpit.
Thanks.

thanks surya.
But that is kind of the question I am asking. When I go to those transactions everything is green and OK, it's just in the cockpit that these BDOC 'errors' are showing.

Alert Monitoring and Notification Mails

I have a requirement to configure CCMS in XI system in such a way that the alerts trigger mails to the outlook users.
This is required in J2EE engine also.
Please tell the T-Codes and Steps.
Thanks

Hi Asad,
When your CCMS is not configured you can only do individual monitoring.
To configure the same you must decide which system is to be the central system for the SCR.
To know what SCR is and to know more about it please go through this link.
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/1e/ec9e38f0d92936e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm
After doing the same please follow these steps.
Log on to the system that is to contain the central repository.
- Choose CCMS ® Configuration ® Alert Monitor, or call transaction RZ21.
- Choose Technical Infrastructure ® System Repository ® Set Repository Role.
- The system displays the Set Repository Role in Central System Administration screen. Choose Central Repository.
And also go through the following links. This I guess will help you solve your problem and I guess it answers your question.

Alert monitor in production

Hi Gurus I have the following questions regarding the alert profiles in production landscape and. Is there a way to transport the alert profiles from the AUD system.
Is it a good practice to make the alert monitors in the production system. i have made some excess do u think that I can delete them, because i think that doing this should not create any problems.
Thanks

Hi,
       If you need to transport the aalert profile then go to the table /SAPAPO/AM_PSET. Pass the alert profile name in the SET_ID field. Then select the contents of the row in the table /SAPAPO/AM_PSET then click on Table Entry in the menu and select transport entries. (Menu Path : Table Entry -> Trasnport Entry)
Use the program /SAPAPO/AMON_REORG to delete the unwanted alerts.
Regards,
Siva.

DB2 Alert Monitoring greyed out, CCMS showing red.

Hi guys,
I am a BASIS admin novice, and currently i have encountered 2 issues and need advice from the experts here =)
(1)
Recently, i have encountered a ZDATE_ILLEGAL_LOCTIME runtime error in my server. Unable and not knowing how to resolve, i restart the entired server. However upon successful start up, while the server is running fine, i got the Time Zone Inconsistency error in on Client 000 and Client 300 when executing certain Tcode, example st03.
(2)
While server is running fine currently, i run DB13, under the Alerts->Alert Monitor, my DB2 Alert Monitoring is greyout out and when i go to RZ20, the CCMS for Monitoring Template -> Databases , rest of all except the DB connection is Green.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thank you in advance =)

Hi,
ZDATE_ILLEGAL_LOCTIME runtime error in my server
Have you referred this SAP Note 447839 - ZDATE_ILLEGAL_LOCTIME ?
SAP Kernel release ?
SAP_BASIS level ?
OS release?
Have you referred dev_w* traces for the same ?
Also look at SAP Note 110368 - FAQ - CCMS MONITORING INFRASTRUCTURE and other relative notes for your second problem.

Possibly mundane Mini-DVI to VGA into an external monitor problem

Hi,
I've had a look over the interwebs regarding my problem and it seems as if it's not unusual to have external monitor problems but I'm not sure if mine is slightly different:
I had a perfectly working set up with my new Macbook (the white one, '06 model I believe), that was connected to my Hanns-G HU196D monitor via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, no problems whatsoever. But for a couple of weeks now my Macbook just flickers a light blue colour, with nothing at all on the monitor, and my macbook is unusable until I remove the adapter. I've read about updating firmware but I can't see my desktop once the macbook is connected to the monitor so it's not possible to configure anything. I've read somewhere that my external monitor isn't compatible with this set up, but it was until a couple of weeks ago!
My Macbook's 4 months old now and since then I've bought a new mini-dvi to vga adapter and a new VGA cable, no connections seem loose on either mini-dvi port or my monitor's vga port.
Thanks if you can help!
Jack

You will need to use a mini Dvi-dvi and a dvi-svideo/rca adapter.
Joy joy hallelujah.
Pardon the sarcasm...I just wasted 3 hours of my life trying to sort the issue out.
Heard a KWORLD PlusTV PCTOTV Converter SA235 USB 2.0 Interface would sort the issue out for under 40$ but it's not Mac.
Hope that helps.

Questions on Alert monitor

Hi,
I have few questions on alert monitor.
1. If we create an alert and have it as default macro, does it display in interactive planning book without a alert profile assignment? or should we assign an alert profile to see alerts in planning book. I remember that we just need alert profile if we need to check the alerts in a separate screen for our convenience.
2. Is alert profile assignment specific to a user? If that's so, then how we assign different profiles to different users? any transaction? or are they specific to a selection or planning book or version?
3. In Application specific alert profile, in SDP tab, under "SDP - Database Macro Alerts", I see few alerts types apart from standard ones. These were actually our previous alert macros. How did they get created like a alert type?
4. I created a simple macro with change color of cell to red if a condition is satisfied. Also raise an alert for that and assigned it to default. When I go back to the SDP94 screen and run the macro, my cells are highlighted as red whenever the condition is satisfied but when I click on the alerts icons, I get a blue information message "No alerts exist for your selection". When I click on the icon, it gives me a window saying " Internal error analyzing SDP alert".
Can somebody help me understand what's going wrong?
Thanks.

I think you can select that standard type.
However since it was SAP delivered, we chose not to, and instead created more line items in SPRO with text such as "Alert Message 1" etc. We created numbers ranging from 9001 to 9010. While defining the custom alert, under alert type, it showed up these numbers that were setup in SPRO. I would assume that just like you pick up 9001, you should be able to pick up 4100 or 4101 (alert type numbers) which is the standard status alert. If you run out of the numbers, you would definitely need to add more in SPRO settings. Remember the alert text is picked from SPRO, where you can change and make it more meaningful so that users can do sorting on those alerts.

Short dump while running Alert Monitor

Hi,
I am getting a short dump while determining alert in Alert Monitor through T. Code /SAPAPO/AMON1. The error says as below:
Runtime Errors BCD_NO_SIGN
Short text : A packed number contains no sign.
What happened? : Error in the ABAP Application Program, The current ABAP program "SAPLKKBL" had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Information on where terminated : Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLKKBL" - in "FB_OUTTAB_SORT2".

Hi Axon Generic,
Please checkon the following
1) In the overall profile of alert monitor, check the relative
time interval whether specified correctly
2) Under the alert profile in Overall profile, check the
threshold values are defined correctly
3) Check the SAP Note 151709 , 189061
Please confirm your findings.

Navigation attribute in the Alert Monitor

Hi All,
In the alert monitor in SAP APO the display table contains only characteristics and not the navigational attribute.
Is there any way through which we can display the navigational attribute also?
Thanks,
Diana

Diana ,
This is how we handled it when we had a situation similar to yours. Since the navigational attribute was also a BW info object , we pulled the value for the navigational attribute to APO-BW . We then put custom logic in the BAdI to pull data for the navigational attribute and display the same in the alert monitor.
Your ABAP team should be able to help you in putting the custom logic in the BAdI . To save the value to the info object you need to have an idea about APO-BW.
Thanks

In Alert Monitor - Is it possible to add Price or Cost as Column Value?

Hey Folks
I am trying to define a methodology to manage and work on the exceptions in the Alert Monitor,
and I would like to carry on the ABC analysis based on Price or Cost?
The alert monitor was defined prior to my time on this latest project.
Would it be simple to add or difficult to link the price from values from whatever table they come from,
to show as column fields? so they ABC analysis can use that column as the Ratio one?
If anyone think this is feasible let me know.
thanks for your feedback
JD Loera

Hello!
Awesome, thanks for the response, I will put that in my project list and will link with the Basis/ABAP team.
Cheers!
Business Procees note to all out there in *APO DP Business Processes and Planning.*
If you use the alert monitor, as you know you can define there macro generated alerts and analyise through the variances from Target and Actual Values.
Also, you can still use the ABC analysis there, to identify A B C of the results that you get ( in the example above, % of variance )
However, from a Business Process bang for your buck and time. By adding the Material Cost or Price, the Demand Planner or SNP Planner can also do the ABC analysis based on the price as well, and really then identify the items with higher value to work with,as those are important to always keep in check. (ABC from the fiancial point of view so to speak)
Cheers all, worth to think about for your own Alert Monitor processes.
