SSAA - System Administration Assistant

Question

Hello ,
Can any one give some information on T-Code SSAA. We want to do a quick monitoring of our process chains, i know that RSPCM will do he job but we also want to know the start time and the end time of each and every process chain, at the same time we dont want to waste or put more time on this alone.
Also if any one can explain about the T-Code RZ20 as well,
points assured for all relevant answers.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Hello Lalitha,
SAP Processing Monitorization Checklist
Administrative personnel proactively monitor the system to identify processing errors and/or issues.
Understand the procedures in place and tools used to proactively monitor the system to identify processing errors and/or issues (i.e. BMC-Patrol, home-grown systems, Control/M, etc.)  Ensure that the scheduled daily tasks checklist includes the following:
-Run transaction SM51 and check that all servers are up
-Run transaction RZ20 and check the CCMS alert monitor for alerts
-Run transaction SM50 and ensure that all work processes have a “running” or “waiting” status
-Run transaction SM13 and look for any failed updates.  Check for lines with “Err”.
-Run transaction SM21 and check the system log.  Check for:  errors, warnings, security messages, abends, database problems, and any other different events.
-Run transaction SM12 and check for “old” locks.  Check for entries from prior days.
-Run transactions SM04 and AL08 and review for any unknown or different user IDs and terminals.
-Run transaction ST22 and review and resolve dumps.  Look for excessive numbers of dumps and look for dumps of an usual number.
-Run transaction ST03 and review workload statistics.
-Run transaction ST02 and review buffer statistics.  Look for swaps.
-Run transactions AL02 and ST04 and review error log for problems.
Alternatively, administrators may execute transaction code SSAA (R/3 Administrative Activities), rather than executing all of the above transaction codes individually.
If CCMS is not used, determine the tools used to proactively monitor the system.  Ensure that the tool is used effectively and that the tasks outlined above are monitored.
RZ20 or CCMS is a Central Monitor tool for monitoring  the entire system landscape. We can create Alert to monitor specific devation of the system behaviour.
