Monitoring Part 2

Ok now I know what I need to monitor, what thresholds should I look at for my filters?
Is there any best practice guides?
How do I know if my switch is under to much load, has to many errors on any one port?
Many thanks.
Mike.

In a healthy network, you should not see too many errors, if any. You might see a lot of discards, but those can occur from traffic trying to exceed a rate-limit. Errors are of more concern. Best practice would be to baseline your network for about 2 weeks to establish what is normal. One done, this will give you an idea of what your network is like and you can work from there trying to tweak and clean it. Hope this helps.

A question in the monitor part.

When I sent a message in XML from the server of XI to other system in the monitor part the system show me a arrow that represent this: RECORDED FOR OUTBOUND PROCESSING.
What is the problem?
Thanks for the help.

Hi Sameer,
In my case I am posting data from SAP to JDBC, when I see the status in SXMB_MONI it shows as "Scheduled for Outbound Processing" and when I go to queue staus it shows as SYSFAIL. Please tell me in what situations it appears as SYSFAIL.
Also when I delete the queue and manually restart the process I see a black Checkered flag indicating success and even I could see the data in target payload. But when I see the status of the communication channel in Adapter Monitoring, it shows "No message processed untill now". I am strange why it happens so. Please give suggestions why is it happening so..

19.1.1 How Execution Plans Can Change
With the query optimizer, execution plans can and do change as the underlying optimizer inputs change. EXPLAIN PLAN output shows how Oracle runs the SQL statement when the statement was explained. This can differ from the plan during actual execution for a SQL statement, because of differences in the execution environment and explain plan environment.
Execution plans can differ due to the following:

Thinkvision Monitor Parts

Does anyone know a source for parts for a Thinkvision 17" LCD Monitor manufactured in May 2004. I am looking for a Button Panel (On off switch Circuit Board). I have tried Ebay. No Luck. The monitor has IBM's name on it.
Thanks,

Hi,
I know I'm a bit late with this but I was wondering if you found a solution for your problem, because I'm having the same one.
After behaving crazy like you described, the monitor just went white-screen on me...

BT have reset my usage monitor part way through th...

I was posting a month or so ago similar to others, that suddenly my broadband usage had dramatically increased without me having changed what I'm doing online, so I've been monitoring it closely. I've managed to keep it down for the last few months so this month I'd been rather slack about checking my usage stats. In fact I haven't done it since 4th Jan when I had used 2.1gb, quite a normal amount for the school hols.
Anyhow BT did something to my line the other day and the broadband needed to be off for an hour or so, supposed to be during the day yesterday but it went off at 11pm Sunday night. No matter. And I check today, and they've reset my usage so it's now at 0.67gb on the 16th! Bargain!
I wonder if they meant to do that?

Hi.
I actually saw a similar thing myself just under a year ago. If I recall correctly, the figure did go to an "expected" value a few days later or less.

System Monitoring in Solution Manager 4.0

Hi all,
I want to set up system monitoring for landscape BW, ECC and SCM systems using Solution Manager 4.0 and am new to Sol Man.
So could anyone please help me with the steps.
Thanks in advance,
Sandeep.

Sandeep,
Trust me, there is no one resource that you can refer to and complete this system monitoring project. I recently configured this a couple of days ago. I can tell you that I haven't completed it yet. I have only completed the configuring the 'System Monitoring' part of it. I am yet to define monitors so that, I can monitor what I want of the satellite systems. So far, it took me about 4 days. Let me point out the basic steps you need to follow. Beyond that, please refer to the links I paste below:
Steps to configure 'System Monitoring' in Solution Manager:
1. Follow the 'Solution Manager Preparation' found under SPRO --> Solution Manager --> Read Me.
2. Make sure you have the latest ST-ICO and ST-SER installed in your Solution Manager (Note: 892412).
3. Make sure the Solution Manager has the latest support packages applied.
4. Prepare the 'Satellite Systems' as per note 455356:
     a. Create the role 'SAP_BC_CSMREG' (if it doesn't exist) with the following authorization objects
          --> S_CCM_RECV (with the objects and values mentioned in the above note)
          --> S_RFC (with the objects and values mentioned in the above note)
          --> S_RZL_ADM (with the objects and values mentioned in the above note)
          --> S_CUS_CMP (with the objects and values mentioned in the above note)
     b. Create a 'communication' user CSMREG (if it doesn't exist) and assign the profile S_CSMREG
5. Create the user CSMREG in Solution Manager using RZ21 transaction
          -->RZ21 --> Technical Infrastructure --> Configure Central System --> Create CSMREG user (Provide the required password and confirm).
6. An agent needs to be registered in all the satellite systems that collects the monitor statistics and pass on to the Solution Manager. Before registering the agent in the satellite system, a 'CSMCONF' file has to be generated in the Solution Manager and store it in a central location which, will be used by the CCMS agent while registration. This CSMCONF file holds the communication details for the agent to talk to the Solution Manager. To create CSMCONF file, proceed as follows:
          --> RZ21 --> Technical Infrastructure --> Configure Central System --> Create Start CSMCONF for Agents
          --> Store the file in a central location that can be accessed by the satellite system/s.
7. In the satellite system, copy the file 'CSMCONF' to the working directory of SAPCCM4X (F:\usr\sap\PD1\SYS\DVEBMGS01\log\sapccm4x - for example. If the 'sapccm4x' folder does not exist, create one).
8. Copy the downloaded 'SAPCCM4X.exe' file to the kernel directory on the satellite system.
9. Execute "sapccm4x -R pf=<path of the instance profile>". This should ask for the 'CSMREG' password and the admin user password on the solution manager system. Please input the same and confirm other questions. Upon confirmation, the CCMS agent should be registered in the satellite system.
10.Make sure you establish the trusted RFC connection on the Solution Manager to the satellite system you would want to monitor. This you can do from 'SMSY' transaction.
11.After successfully creating the RFC connections, and assigning the system to a logical component, please go to transaction, 'SOLUTION_MANAGER'. You can see the monitored system in the System Overview.

Hope this helps. Award with relevant points if my response is helpful.
Thank you.

Using ARIS process models as the foundation for Business Process Monitoring

Hello,
Do anyone know if you can use IDS Scheer ARIS process models and the integration between IDS Scheer ARIS and SAP Solution Manager as the starting point for end-to-end Business Process Monitoring (BPM) so that you get the process description/model automatically in Solution Manager BPM and just need to configure the monitoring (more or less that you monitor against the modelled process in ARIS)?
Is there an API for SAP Solution Manager BPM so that non-SAP solutions/systems can be part of the end-to-end process monitoring?
If not, how do you usually integrate non-SAP solutions that are part of an end-to-end process that you want to monitor into SAP Solution Manager BPM, or do you not use Solution Manager BPM for this?
What is the roadmap for SAP around SAP Solution Manager BPM when it comes to non-SAP systems/applications/solutions and the new SAP NetWeaver BPM functionality?
Regards,
Markus Johansson

Hello Markus,
I just paste my answer form the other forum entry Re: Business process management strategy in SAP?
in a nutshell BPM Netweaver is focussing on so called edge-processes (usually
SOA-based and often workflow related). These edge-processes a thought to enhance exisitng core business processes and should provide the fast competitive edge versus competitors. Examples would be also xApps. For this Netweaver provides process modelling tools, where you can get exectuable code through the integration between CE and PI. The monitoring part for these processes is mainly targeting business end-users and business manager.
Business Process Monitoring with Solution Manager focusses on core business processes which are realized with the "conventional", "old" SAP Architecture, e.g. Order-to-Cash or Procure-to-Pay. You get a combination of technical monitors (average response times of transactions, background job runtimes, monitors for IDOC or qRFC processing) and application related monitors (you get more than 200 pre-configured application monitors out-of-the-box like number of overdue customer orders or outbound deliveries or number of deliveries with goods issue posted but no invoice). The target group here is the support organization of the customer, from Basis-Support over application support on IT side to process owner on business department side.
Overview presentations can be found under
https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Library --> Customer Information -->
"Business Process Monitoring - Part 1 & 2".
Or look under https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-processmonitoring
In the end BPM Netweaver and BPMon SolMan are complementary for different purposes and different target groups.

How do I re-establish a single virtual monitor across two 30" screens?

How do I re-establish a single virtual monitor across two 30" screens?
The fact that the screens are now separate with two menu bars, and the inability for images to appear across both of them is a great inconvenience to me. I have used this system since the dual monitors first became available and do not want to loose.
While rearranging my desk top of current files, I seem to have jumping folders that flt to random places
Thank for bailing me out on this!

I've been looking for the same answer .. I stopped by local Apple store - Genius - he don't know
3 monitors here .. and agree - it's an extreme irritant that when a window is across two monitors part of it disappears.
Have Adobe Bridge catalog listing (and Filter, Collection, Keyword, Dates) on one monitor and main viewing window part on center monitor - no more.
Supper long spread sheet across all three monitors - no more.
Multiple Menu bars are irritating to use.

Business Process Monitoring-Value table

Dear friends,
I am working with Sol Man 4.0, SP12.
In SOLUTION_MANAGER t.code, in the screen of Business Process Maintenance, iam finding the the following tabs
1. Steps of process-Partially display
2. Seasons (Peak Months)
3. Process availability...etc
In that screen, i am choosing the tab "Steps of process-Partially display" then under the column. "Details", i am choosing the check box.
At that time i am getting folowing information
"Value Create transfer posting in column Step Type not listed in value table"
In which value table, i have to include the process step?
Thanks
Senthil

Hi John,
you get an overview about all available key figures in the PPT "Business Process & Interface Monitoring - Part 2" under https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Library --> Customer Information. It lists all Monitoring Object and Key Figures with Select-Options. There is no document that describes the setup of every key figure as the setup is too similar for most objects. Therefore the grey text boxes within the tool.
The NAST collector will always pick-up everything older than x days. So you would have to process or delete the olde entries. But it is a good advise that for this rather technical key figure we should think about a delta mechanism like with our IDOC or ABAP dump monitor.
Best Regards

Business Process Monitoring - Application Monitoring help.

Hi all,
Through Business Process Monitoring, I am trying to configure monitoring on table NAST, so that an alert will be generated for Billing documents print outputs (application=V3, transm. medium=1) on specific message types, if the processing status is equal to either 0 (not processed) or 2 (incorrectly processed).
I have configured this through application monitoring, using the 'Messages (Output Determination)' monitoring object. Under this, was able to configure the 2 key figures of "unprocessed messages" and "incorrectly processed messages" with the parameters mentioned above (application and message type).
I set the yellow alert threshold to 1, and the red alert threshold to 2, as I want to be notified each time a print output goes into status 0 or 2, and that a red alert be generated in the case where 2 or more print outputs are not successful.
However, upon activation of this monitoring, I came across the following issue: The table NAST already has over 40 historic entries of unprocessed and incorrectly processed messages for these message types. The monitoring is picking up all these entries right away, and therefore a red alert is being generated.
There does not appear to be a way to configure the monitoring to only look for new entries in the table matching the criteria, e.g. look for billing docs with status = incorrectly processed during the last 24 hours. It seems that unless the existing entries in the table NAST are either deleted or have their status changed to "processed", the monitoring will always pick up these entries and report a red alert, even if no new entries are discovered.
Does anyone know how a way of configuring a date range with this type of monitoring, or do I have to modify the existing entries in the table (either delete them, change their status or set the "disregard" indicator on the messages in the table) before this monitoring will work as I hoped it would?
Secondly - a more general point - although there are lots of good documents on configuring Business Process Monitoring, I have not yet found one which gives full details on all the different types of application monitoring available, and how each of them can be configured. I know that within Application Monitoring, when you choose a monitoring type, the grey box at the top half of the screen gives some good information on what the monitoring does and how to configure it, but a document which captures all these monitoring types in one place would be very useful - if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it!
Thanks in advance for any help with the first issue above,
Regards,
John

Adapter Monitoring with CCMS

Hi,
is there anybody who already set up an adapter monitoring with CCMS using the alert framework of Runtime Workbench ?
Background:
When using the existing MTE's in CCMS (J2EE Monitor Templates - All Systems - <SID> - J2EE Applications - SAP XI Adapter Engine) only rare monitoring information related to XI messages are posted.
What I would like to see are information about the adapters provided in the logfiles of each adapter.
For example as soon there's a permission problem for a directory in File Adapter an alert in CCMS should be raised.
I already checked SAP notes 870232, 913858 and 824039.
Any feedback appreciated.
Cheers,
Juergen

Hi,
You can configure the CCMS as per the following two blogs,
Part 1: /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/11/24/xi-configuring-ccms-monitoring-for-xi-part-i
Part 2: /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/12/05/xi-grmg-customizing-for-xi-ccms-heartbeat-monitoring-part-ii
Configure the Alert Framework with the below Blog as reference,
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/09/xi-alerts--step-by-step
Then forward the Alerts created in the CCMS to Alert Frame work, the required steps are given in the below help links.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3f/567ddea69d3d4c93a6aedabd08899e/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/30/62e77b2f4865488a866d4103923a93/frameset.htm
Then any alerts that gets generated in CCMS can be passed to the Alert Category kept configured in the Alert Framework.
Hope this helps you

Missing "SAP XI Adapter engine" in CCMS Monitor

Dear all,
we try to configure PI CCMS monitor but we can't find the subtree "SAP XI Adapter engine " in Visual admin.
In detail:
the subtree "SAP XI Adapter engine "is not displayed in Visual administrato under
server->service->monitoring->Monitor tree ->Root application .
So we have set to true the value "CCMSEnabled" of seervice "SAP XI AF core" , and we have restarted the instance.
After the restart i DO NOT find the "SAP XI Adapter engine " in
SAP NetWeaver Administrator,
'System Management' -> 'Monitoring' -> 'Java System Reports' -> 'Reports'. From the dropdown list 'Report' choose 'Monitor Browser', and display all monitors
So I can't activate the monitor.
and if the subtree is not present , i can't see the MTE in "SAP XI Adapter engine " RZ20.
Additional info:
- In RZ20 I have my system under SAP J2ee Monitor template->All system
but the MTE "J2EE Applications" is grayed.
- In file application.xml under /usr/sap/ccms/XIT_10/j2ee<server0> i do not find the tag:
<app name="application sap.com/com.sap.aii.af.app">
<node>\XIT\XIT 10 Appl .... sp30t0\SAP XI Adapter Engine</node>
</app>
I think this is the correct procedure that we have done in other different landscape whithout problems.
Is there something else to check ?
I've alredy checked following Blogs
/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/11/24/xi-configuring-ccms-monitoring-for-xi-part-i
/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/12/05/xi-grmg-customizing-for-xi-ccms-heartbeat-monitoring-part-ii

Hi Sekhar,
I am using PI 7.0 instead so I have followed the instruction in (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e5/5d1741b393f26fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm) instead.
The problem is, Adapter Engine is still not listed as one of the application avaialble for Monitoring in Visual Admin even though the SAP XI AF Core has definitely been set with CCMSEnabled = true.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks,
Wi

Can't calibrate my monitor

After a reinstall, I noticed the screen looks a little different, a little flat. I went to the monitor part of System Preferences, and in trying to calibrate the colour of the display there are only 3 choices - Adobe RGB (1998), Generic RGB Profile and sRGB IEC61966-2.1
But when I try and calibrate any of these displays, I get the message "Can not calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display could not be found".
Also, when I use Safari it often asks for fonts, or in Pages, saying a font "American Typewriter" for instance, is missing.
Are these connected, and can anyone help.
Thanks

You may want to go ahead and do an archive and install, however someone may have a better answer than mine.

New macbook white monitor (LVDS cable failure)

My LVDS cable was failing on me, the screen was freezing and whitening out. A common issue.
I bought the cable from eBay and tried replacing it myself, since Apple would only replace the whole top monitor part for US$727 in my country (US$200 in USA).
My repair did not work, I removed the monitor and started using the macbook with an external monitor. Now a trip to US came up and I'm willing to take it with me to get a new monitor top attached to it.
Should I reattach the top part of the monitor before taking it to US to get it replaced or just take it as it is and get a new one attached?

Sound like your better off taking everything, since you already opened the device it might not be covered under warranty and they might just offer to replace the cable this time around.

How to integrate CCMS with RWB component monitoring

Hi, all.
I am wondering if there is a way to forward errors from the component monitoring and CC monitoring in RWB to CCMS. For example, if a CC is down because somebody changed the CC user or password or disable the CC totally, RWB will show errors in the communication channel monitoring. However, I could not find a way to forward those messages to CCMS so that we can manage it in a centralized way. Any idea?
Thanks,
Jonathan.
