How to monitor semaphores?

We had a case recently where a large ERP system had all it's dialog work processes hung on Semaphore 43.  We'd like to put some kind of system monitor in place to catch these events and alert someone when it happens.  Something like the equivalent of "dpmon -> option m -> option p" output to the screen that we could run periodically for each app server would be perfect... but I'm not seeing any way to feed dpmon commands (other than installing TCL/expect on every host), or otherwise get the information out.
One thing I thought of would be to write an RFCSDK program to call something like TH_WPINFO on each app server, and wrap it in a timer so that if the dialogs on a server are full, it would time out in 10-20 seconds and throw an alert.... but before I go down that road I thought I'd see what other ideas people had.
Thanks!

You can't use SM50 to see if there's a free dialog process, when they're all hung.  You can't even log in to the system.  That's why something like DPMON is useful (or an rfc call wrapped in a timer).
We implemented that note and haven't seen the problem, but management wants a monitor on it anyway - that fixes semaphore 43, but what about the rest? 
Thanks,
Rich

  • How to monitor a specific transaction in Solution Manager ?

    Hi all,
    I have configured the Service Level Reporting and it works correctly.
    But i don't know how to monitor a specific transaction like SM21, DB02, FB01N etc... ?
    In the SL Reports configuration steps, we can configure this option : Select Business Processes For SL Report. I did a lot of tests but it does not work.
    Have i to configure the Business Process Monitoring ?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    it depends a little on what you want to do. If you use the pure CCMS monitoring with the table ALTRAMONI you get average response time per instance and you only get new measurements once the status changes from green to yellow or red.
    In order to get continuous measurements you should look into Business Process Monitoring and the different documentations under https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Libary --> Technical Information. E.g. the PDF Setup Guide for Application Monitoring describes this "newer" dialog performance monitor. Probably you have to click on the calendar sheet in the Media Libary to also see older documents as well. As the Business Process Monitoring integrates with BW (there is also a BI Setup Guide in the Media LIbrary) you can get trendlines there. This BW integration also integrates back with SL Reporting.
    Some guidance for SL Reporting is probably given under https://service.sap.com/rkt-solman but I am not 100% sure.

  • How to monitor an application using JMX

    Hi,
    How can I monitor the portal application running on  portal server by using MBeans (JMX)? For this I need to make a connection between my portal application and  MBean class, How to monitor operations? How can I do that? If anybody has come across the same requirement pls explain me with the implementation details.

    Hello,
    I have done that in a project (not Portal, but pure Java Application, should be no difference), working fine.
    The steps are as follows:
    - create MBean Server (e.g. MBeanServerFactory.createMBeanServer("test");)
    - create your MBeans
    - make them accessible to clients (register the MBeans in the server)
    - query them from clients
    see http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/jmx.html
    for very good explanation including sample source code.

  • How to monitor OSD TS failure and get alert or report?

    How to monitor OSD TS failure and get some alert or generate an report?
    We have SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 with MDT 2013.
    I have checked the OSD reports in SCCM and everyone is emty, where do SCCM get data to the what to activate?
    (I thinking of "Task Sequence - Deployment Status" reports)
    I am not sure people read report manually or lock at the MDT monitor view. So best I think that generate an email or incident in Service Manager when an TS fails.
    We do have SCOM, SCSM, SCO.
    Is there anyone that can point what way or what option I have?
    /SaiTech

    Specifically you could use this Status Message Query syntax to monitor your Task Sequences for errors:
    select stat.*, ins.*, att1.*, att1.AttributeTime from SMS_StatusMessage as stat left join SMS_StatMsgInsStrings as ins on stat.RecordID = ins.RecordID left join SMS_StatMsgAttributes as att1 on stat.RecordID = att1.RecordID inner join SMS_StatMsgAttributes
    as att2 on stat.RecordID = att2.RecordID where att2.AttributeID = 401 and att2.AttributeValue = "DOJ200A1" and stat.SiteCode = "DOJ" and att2.AttributeTime >= ##PRM:SMS_StatMsgAttributes.AttributeTime## order by att1.AttributeTime desc
    Just replace DOJ200A1 with the Deployment ID of your Task Sequence and DOJ with your SiteCode.
    If you want to generate an alert if the TS fails then you could run a script that calls a utility (or similar) which sends a pre-configured email to a specified address (as an alternative to Torten's response). This could be placed in the built in error
    logging section of the SCCM integrated MDT Task Sequence when it fails which I assume you are using (right at the bottom, called Gather Logs and StateStore on failure).
    There are heaps of ways of generating an email from a TS and controlling error logging just do a search - as you have Service Manager you could even use your instance of Orchestrator and call a run book in your TS which does the email?
    Cheers

  • How many monitors can you use on a new imac with GEForce 780m?

    My husband bought a new 27" iMac with the optional GEForce 780m with 4 gig of video ram. He wants to know how many monitors he can run simultaneously, and at what resolutions. He would obviously be using the Thunderbolt ports to do this. I thought this information should be easily found in the technical specs for either the iMac or the video card itself on the NVidia site, but it is not.

    Catherine Gramze wrote:
    Ok, rkaufman. Can he use two 4k monitors in addition to his iMac display? He wants to know what his options are in terms of number of monitors and the resolution. Yes, I know which monitor you buy will be the limiting factor for the actual display, but he has not yet purchased these additional monitors. If thunderbolt allows him to run 3840x2160, how many of them can he run at once at 32 bpp? How many if he chooses 2560x1600 instead?
    To be honest I don't know how many Thunderbolt displays he can run, I would STRONGLY recommend contacting Apple to ask. You can ask the online store (phone number is in upper right of it's home page) or if you have an Apple Store in your area, making an appointment with a business specialist and asking that question.

    Hi sachin,
    You can monitor your sattilite systems through solution manager.
    If you want to monitor systems in solution manager means you need to configure those systems in solution manager.
    Before including the systems in solution manager we need to create a solution using tcode <b>DSWP</b>.
    After that you can include the systems using tcode <b>SMSY</b>.
    For configuring the systems we have lot of phases its very difficult to explain here.
    Try to login to<b> service.sap.com</b> and <b>help.sap.com</b> find the helpfull guides.
    i hope it will help you.

  • How to monitor partial payment

    Dear All:
    In my case, I always pay more money for original AR because I forgot partial payment had been done before. How I monitor AR overpayment when past partial payment exist?
    Thanks for the help suggestion first. Sorry for error description above.
    1.first for specific overdue analysis policy of company, we use partial payment.
    2.And then the question comes. According to contract item, we send invoice to customer only once and receive payment in several step. Each time income received, we use partial payment to clear the AR (to relate payment with original AR). But one customer may have some contracts with us, it always pay for all contract in certain amount at one time. We shall manually divide amount for each contract. If user forgot one contract was paid partially before, he may clear the AR totally at sencond time and then the first payment will still outstanding in open item. Finally we can find many partial payments received but can't refered to any invoice.
    So we are finding a way to control AR clearing to check whether partial payment exist and if the total amount is over original invoice it couldn't be cleared.
    Thanks to give me some suggestion.

    Hi...
    You always have the otion of displaying vendor/customer balances(FK10N/FD10N) to find out the balances and the vendor/customer line items(FBL1n/FBL5N)
    When you pay your vendors select residual payment so that the system will select the residual item remaining to be paid to avoid any confusion.
    Its a good business procedure that you should not be paying your vendors more unnecessarily.

  • How to monitor MySQL Server installed in Windows Server using Nagios

    You can do this via NSClient as Gary posted. The NSClient is a communications system that allows nagios to send commands to a target system over the nsclient protocol and they are executed on the remote system. You will still have to build some kind of vbscript or plugin to run on the target system to do the actual query to check on mysql.There are other options to. If you enable snmp on your target computer you can use a few nagios plugins to query the snmp agent on the target computer to see if a service is running. To do this via snmp you will need this plugin "check_snmp_process.pl" fromthis site.Your check command will look something like this:check_win_process:= check_snmp_process.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C "$USER6$" -n "$ARG1$" -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$The service definition will be like this:check_win_process!sqlservr!0!0This will check...

    I installed Nagios Core in my Ubuntu workstation 10.04 for me to learn something new in my craft. I use this now to monitor our Windows Server 2008 with MySQL server installed as well as our Datalink Switch (DGS-1210-24). I searched on google on how to monitor a MYSQL server installed in Windows server using Nagios Core but i could not seem to find any. Could anybody who's expert in Nagios give me steps on how to do so. Thanks. All i found in google were steps in monitoring mysql installed in linux and nothing in windows server.

  • How to monitor page hit rates?

    I see a lot of references in docs and white papers to cache hit rates for the Parallel Page Engine, but I've not found any documentation on how to monitor this system-wide (only how to turn on portlet statistics and get a manual page-by-page look at cache success/failure).
    Is there any way to determine the cache hit rate for the PPE?

    Stephen,
    I'm sorry you seem to be experiencing some problems with the support and documentation of the portal software.
    The link above was posted on May 1st 2002, and was posted as an absolute link rather than a dynamic product link. As the document name is revved the link will change, hence why an old link from the forums will no longer work.
    The document you seek is here. I assume that by referring to webcache you mean that when you add the XLF logging format options webcache complains about x-ecid (for example). This indicates that you have not applied the core iAS patchset which is required to allow webcache to understand these extended log parameters. I believe that the document refers to this as a requirement to get 'full functionality' - perhaps that is a little esoteric, I'll change it in the next rev.
    If you continue to be unsuccessful in deploying this note please let me know what errors you're seeing and I'll see what I can do. I'm working on an end-to-end performance kit at the moment that will supercede this document so I'll take your comments on board when revving this area.
