Monthly EWA Report.

Question

Hi SolMan Mentors,
Currently we are using SolMan7.0 SPS15. I would like to know whether we can reschedule the EWA report occurrence monthly rather than weekly(default).
When I check DSWP --> Settings --> Solution Monitoring --> EarlyWatch Alert --> the period column is disabled for changes. Is there somewhere we can make changes to get EWA report monthly rather than weekly?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hari

Answer 1

The frequency and reported time frame of the EarlyWatch Alert itself
can not be changed. In SAP Solution Manager however you have the
option to create a 'Service Level Report'.
The Service Level report uses the data from the individual EWA sessions
that have been executed for the satellite(s) and combines them into
one report.
This can be customized. You need to enter the solution -> Operations
Setup -> Solution Monitoring -> Service Level Reporting ->
Setup Service Level Reporting. Following this path you will enter the
'Set up session' where you can set your customizing via the various
checks in the check tree. Check 'Specify SL Reporting' is where you
can choose if you wish to set up a a 'standard' report or 'some other
name'. The 'standard' report has a weekly frequency.
To be able to choose a different frequency enter a self-chosen
different name to indicate a 'non-standard' report. Save.
In the next check "General Settings for SL Report Standard" in tab
'scheduling of SL report' you can
customize the frequency of this report.
Note that if you choose 'monthly', the SL Report can not be created
until the last EWA covering the last day of the previous month
has run. For example: the EWA covers the ST03 data of the calendar week
prior to the data collection. Ie data for 'Monday June 30 2008'
can at the earliest
be contained in the EWA data collection executed Monday July 07 20087.
So the SLR for June 08 can at the earliest be executed when that last
EWA data collection has been processed ( normally on Tuesday morning via
the next job SM:EXEC SERVICES. )
The checks in the session have text explaining further customizing
options. You can also find documentation in the online help and
the IMG , under 'Solution Monitoring'.
