Tivoli Monitoring and CCMS Integration

Dear all,
we're trying to integrate the CCMS of our solution manager with Tivoli ITM 6.1
The standard Tivoli monitor for the CCMS is not flexible enough cause it doesn't allow to monitor "CCMS Current Status".
We'd like to write a "Tivoli universal agent" based solution which could allow to read the CCMS Current Status on sampled basis.
Is there anyone who knows about eventual implementations already done on this issue?
Is there an expert who knows which tables are used for storing "CCMS Current Status" data?
Your help would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Nicola.

Nicole,
this has already been done, i was part of that team..from tivoli..........check with you ibm vendor......that might help, there is also a generic plugin......that might be available and open for customization.

WAAS FLOW MONITOR and NETQoS integration ( what ports do I open)

Hi there,
I am having issues integrating WAAS flow monitor feature with NetQoS in version 4.2.1.
The WAAS applicance fails to establish the initial session on port 778 with NetQoS which I believe it is needed to set the next session on port 9996 or 9995.
We have opened a "hole" for the WAE to register but still no go.
Any help will be appreciated..
Regards,
Manuel

The port used to communicate between the flow monitor and the NetQoS Aggregator and Management Console is TCP port 7878. You should be able to use the show commands on 4.2 to show the connection status. If the firewall is blocking that port, you'll want to punch a hole and it will continue to try to connect.

Solution Managers System monitoring and CCMS/CEN

Hi.
Could anybody enlighten me on the Role of CCMS / CEN in the Solution manager Monitoring.
I have set up solution manager to Monitor my landscape. I have set up user defined limits and email alerts. These Alerts and the alerting agent - I assume - are carried out on the system being monitored.
Now the question - I want the Solution manager box to be the CEN and do the Alerting centrally (from the SM box) - Will the MTE's and Alerts that I have assigned and configured through System Monitoring use the properties set up though the CCMS?
I assume I will have to install the CCMS agents on all the target boxes - Will the Solution manager box process the Statics and send out the alerts from itself? If so How much workload does this place on the network and the box?
Why does the solution manager not act as the central processing and alerting box from the start? If we go through the effort of setting up the monitoring - why does it not set up Collection and Alerting at the same time?
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks
Terry H.

Hi Terry,
Solution Manager System Monitoring is using CCMS infrastructure, so we have two different ways to collect data (alerts) from the satellite systems, first via CCMS agents as you mentioned or the option to use RFC destinations to read the alerts. This can be configured automatically by SMSY in Solution Manager. The second option produces higher network workload, because every alert will be checked every 3 minutes, with agents only new alert values will be pushed.
I hope this info helps you

Nice recording and CCM integration

Has anybody done an intergration with CCM and Nice recording. we have issue to use IP phone service to do recording. When press that service link it came back error. Thanks

Hi,
I did this integration and I had some problems, but now it works. Can you proide more info about CCM XML service configuration?

System Monitoring and CCMS Monitors

In our production environment we have working CCMS Monitors set up thru RZ20.
However if I go to solution_manager->system monitoring->operations tab, there are no alerts displayed on the page. Does system monitoring use the same backend as CCMS Monitoring? I am a little bit confused on this. If we set up System Monitoring, will this duplicate the CCMS Monitors we've previously set up?

If you want to see alerts on Operation tab in solution_manager->Solution Monitoring->System Monitoring you first need to run "Setup System Monitoring" (link is just below tab Operation or run in from Operations Setup tab). Setup will not duplicate CCMS monitors. It will just mark which of the available alerts should be taken into account for solution_manager->Solution Monitoring->System Monitoring report.
This might help you to start:

Thanks in advance

You can configure AS5350 as H323 gateway for CCM.

TPM and CCMS in RWB

Hi,
Please let me know what is TPM and CCMS in RWB.
Please explain in detail their significance in RWB.
Thank you all.
Regards
Bhanu.

hi bhanu,
SAP XI uses the monitoring infrastructure of SAP NetWeaver Application Server, such as the CCMS alert monitor and the alert framework. Monitoring can be accessed using the Runtime Workbench (RWB).
The following tools are used by the Runtime Workbench :
CCMS (Computing Center Management System)
u2022     Monitoring and administration of SAP System Landscapes
u2022     Configuration possible within Runtime Workbench
TPM (Process Monitoring Infrastructure)
u2022     Monitor and analyze integrated processes involving multiple components in distributed system environments
u2022     Display detailed information about processes, process flow, process steps and performance figures
Alerting Framework
u2022     Configuration of alerts to reflect the needs of specific processes
u2022     Part of SAP Web AS
The CCMS Monitor returns a status in the Runtime Workbench for every component. The information is displayed by means of an icon, which can be red, yellow, green and gray (red for a problem, yellow for a warning, green for success and gray for undefined)
     The following are the capabilities of CCMS
u2022     CCMS forms the core component of the Alert Framework.
u2022     It is possible to monitor and administer SAP System Landscapes.
u2022     Integration with Runtime Workbench alert is possible.
u2022     CCMS configurations are global; hence itu2019s not required to set specific monitors for each interface.
CCMS
1) Transaction RZ20 is used for creating monitors in CCMS, select Extras --> Activate maintenance functions.
2)Go to monitor (set) --> create, you will get to the following screen:in transaction RZ20 select extras --> activate maintenance functions.
3)Go to monitor (set)--> create, you will get to the screen:
4)click <<< new monitor>>> and select create nodes (F5) button from the toolbox icon.
5)select rule node and hit the continue button.
6)in the next dialog select CCMS_DEFINE_R_SYSTEMS as the rule definition and hit the continue button.
7)Now select <CURRENT> from the match code for the R3 system parameter value and hit the continue button.
Note: pls remember that we are creating a rule Based monitor: we need to make sure NO object checked from the selectable MTE tree.
8) The next step is to create the virtual node to group all the MTEs that we should select from the MTE classes shown in point a. TO do this ,
click on CCMS_DEFINE_R3_SYSTEMS if it is not already selected and hit create nodes (F5) button from the toolbox. now select
virtual node and hit the continue button.
9)in the name field write something like: test rule based monitors and hit the continue button.
10) now click under test rule based monitors to select them and then hit on create nodes (F5)
choose Rule based and hit continue button.
11) On the next screen select CCMS_GET_MTE_BY_CLASS as the rule name and the hit the hit the continue button.
12)Now we need to add each MTE class from point a. to tje following screen on the MTE class
paramater value. select all of them and hit continue button.
13) the next step is to include all MTE classes already defined in point a. you will need to repeat these steps for each
additional class you want to add to the monitor set.
14) After all classes has been included into the monitoring set hit the save button from the toolbox.
15) you will be prompted for a monitor name , write something meaningful.
The new Monitor set should be display

Monitoring and Alerting tools for Business Object Data Integrator

Hi,
We have Business Objects DI installed in AIX 5.3 environment. Please advise any type of monitoring and alerting tools for DI.
Monitor tools to monitor Job servers(like job service and web services running properly) and also to monitor long running extraction jobs and alerting the same. Thanks.
Thanks.
Raj.

Hi Thomas
Though both the tools objectives are for Data integration, the purpose for both tools are different.
SAP BODS/ BOBJ Data Integrator is an ETL tool which involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of the data
SAP PI is a Middleware/EAI tool which have a mechanism/technology that connects different parts of an application or a series of applications
SAP BOBJ Data Integrator
Bulk Data Integration
Extraction Transformation and Loading
Deals of huge volume of data
SAP PI
It is process based integration of application data
It is a middle ware which integrates various project applications into a common programming package that can be operate/access as a single application
SAP NetWeaver PI is SAP’s implementation of Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) middleware and facilitates the integration of business processes that span different departments, organizations, or companies.
SAP PI uses SAP NetWeaver Application Server and message servers where in fail over cases the messages can be resent again.
The below differences will gives you more clarity
Verdict is we can use both the tools for data transfer/migration and for choosing the tool depends upon the business requirement
Please reply back if you need more information.

Alerts in XI and CCMS

I've read some SAP doco talking about a CCMS Central Monitoring System (CEN).
Does that mean having CCMS on it's own Server - and CCMS is monitoring all DEV, QAS and PRD systems.
What is the usual way if you have R/3, BW, XI. Which box should have CCMS on it ? Or should it have it's own instance seperated from the rest of them ??

Hi,
There will be a separate instance of CCMS installed which will do the central administartion for all the components in a landscape. It can be handled by one single administrator....can have many assistants. No need of having a separate instance of CCMS for R3, XI/ PI, etc...the only thing that you need to take of is how to integrate your system with CCMS for monitoring.
The CCMS alert monitoring infrastructure is provided by SAP free of cost.
For more info: http://www.sap.com/germany/media/mc_386/ccms_monitoring_brief.pdf
Also there is one good SAP article named "CCMS Integration With XI".

MBAM 2.5 Monitoring and administration website

I am installing MBAM 2.5 integrated with SCCM 2012. Reporting services point is working on SCCM Server.
When installing monitoring and administration website reporting url is not working
I am providing
http://sccmserver/reportserver
I have already ran SCCM integration on SCCM server

Can you validate my suggestion? In the MBAM Server Configuration Wizard, you need to select the Reports feature. Once that is installed, the URL you have for the report server should work.
(http://yourssrsserver/reportserver). Note, depending on where you installed the reports feature, the URL on the admin and monitoring config page could be the same server as CM or a different server.
However, the url should end in reportserver unless you customized it.

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

Discrepancy between HD monitor and output video

Howdy community,
I have a weird problem with Final Cut Pro 7. I have an Asus VW266H HD monitor, set at a good viewing angle on my desk. When I was editing some footage, it looked WAY too dark, so I used a color correction filter and brought the blacks up to 95. The resulting image in the FCP viewer window is the one you see on the left in my screen shot. I hope you can imagine just how dark the original footage was. I was reasonably satisfied with how the footage looked, especially since it wasn't looking "milky" like it can if you lighten/whiten too much in post.
So then I exported the footage, and got the image on the right (in my screen shot). These two images are from the same second of video, on the same monitor. NO changes were made between the exported version in QT on the right and the FCP viewer image on the left.
Why does my monitor and/or the final cut viewer window show me an image that does not represent my output? If the image in final cut and the exported version in quick time look so different, how can I trust my eye in final cut?
Obviously, this is a huge problem.
Please help!!!

If that is the case, how does the editor control how the image looks to others?
You can't. This general problem has been around since the advent of moving pictures. Wander over to the video wall at any big box store and look at the displays. There won't be two that appear alike. All you can do is control the image you send out.
If you are seriously interested in image integrity, get yourself a output device from AJA, BlackMagic, Matrox, etc that can send a qualified signal and a calibrated broadcast TV monitor to to view that signal. Then you'll know what it really looks like.
To paraphrase the old Yiddish saying, "A man with two clocks can never be sure of the time, but, man with an atomic clock, will know."
Good luck.

XI content for SRM and CCM scenario - mapping

Hi All,
We are using the standard business content for integrating SRM with CCM to update contract information from SRM to CCM. Both SRM and CCM are on the same system.
The configuration scenario used is MasterDataInclusionInCatalogOnWAS700 which is in the name space SAP CATALOG CONT.MGMT. 2.0_700 , http://sap.com/xi/CCM/CAT.
There are 2 interfaces being referred by this scenario: CatalogUpdateNotification_Out and this CatalogUpdateNotification_In and both the interfaces are pointing to the same meesage type CatalogTransmission but they are in different name spaces.
Once the scenario was configured there was no interface mapping available in the standard business content to map the above 2 interfaces.
SAP SRM SERVER 5.5
CatalogUpdateNotification_Out
CatalogTransmission
http://sap.com/xi/EBP
SAP CATALOG CONT.MGMT. 2.0_700 ,
CatalogUpdateNotification_In
CatalogTransmission
http://sap.com/xi/CCM/CAT
Is this the normal case and we need to develop our own mapping or is the standard content not imported correctly?
The service pack details are as follows:
PI 7.0 SP level 14
XI content

Thanks,

ditto, anybody received a response from SAP with regards to this problem?
As suggested above, we could build our own mapping in XI but this would obviously be a modification to SAP standard which we would prefer to avoid.
Regards, Kyle.

I assume that you have installed NW 7.00 SP14 (or higher).
Within earlier versions the mapping from XML to ABAP was to lax.
The XML message was processed witout regarding the name of the root
element. This was fixed with SP14.
When you call an interface the XML message must match with the type
defined in the WSDL used for proxy generation.
Either the message or the WSDL used to generate the proxy seems to be
wrong here.
Here is a work around should solve this problem until we make available in a standard note soon.
I will do it internally to our development team but I am sorry that i can not tell now when the note will be ready.
Disable the new check by adding the following entry in transaction sproxset
-Name: ST_USE_LAX_ON
-Value: X

Dual monitor and hw accel mutually exclusive (using Awesome WM)

Hi I've been using Arch for some months now and I have laptop (Lenovo x220 with integrated intel graphics) with an occasional dual monitor setup. Things were smooth, but I was having issues with video tearing, so I went trough the intel graphics arch wiki page and I was able to turn on hw acceleration and get rid of the video tearing by putting this in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
# /etc/X11/xorc.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
The problem is that I add that file I no longer have proper dual monitor with extended desktop, the second monitor kind of mirrors the main one.
kind of, because I can move the pointer between the two monitors and is not duplicated, but the desktop (widows and awesome menu) is duplicated on the second monitor, but I can only interact with the windows using the mouse from the main monitor.
I usually do `$ xrandr --mode 1920x1080 --output HDMI1 --right-of LVDS1` to output to the second monitor, and it was working allright.
I've been trough arch and gentoo wiki looking for dual monitor/xorg config stuff to no avail yet.

I found a fix in this thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-71 … c9ec76f8b8
Adding `i915.semaphores=1` to my boot params allows me to use the TearFree option in xorg config, without X crashing and with a dual monitor setup.
