Transaction linking, Monitoring and Alerting product

Hi,
I wanted to check if there is any product from BEA Systems which can be used to
capture meta data at different points in a business transaction...The business
process could be a multi hop process...Meta data from one hop to another can usually
be linked with some attributes and some times the linking algorithm can be complex...
We are investigating if there are any products which can be used to capture the
transaction attributes, perform the linking between the meta data at different
hops and also where we can specify some business rules like if we don't have matching
data at some hops for a transaction flow to perform some altering function...So
the product will be doing some transaction monitoring activity...
If anyone has any information about this kind of software please let me know...
Thanks
Surajit

Hi Ralph,
We are facing the same issue is our system. I have checked the specified note and observed that few of the systems had to be updated in Managed System Configuration. I have updated the systems. But, the alerts have not stopped.
Can you please tell me the procedure to resolve this issue?
Thanks.

Infrastructure Navigator 1.2 monitoring and alerting

I was under the impression that Infrastructure Navigator did monitoring and alerting of services and applications where if something stopped working or had issues it can notify you via something like email or SMS etc. From what I have seen it appears that it only shows you what services are running on a VM and the dependencies it has with other servers. Is that the case or am I missing something?

Take a look at http://www.vmware.com/products/datacenter-virtualization/vcenter-infrastructure-navigator/overview.html:
vCenter Infrastructure Navigator automatically discover application services, visualize relationships and map dependencies of applications on virtualized compute, storage and network resources. A component of the vCenter Operations Management Suite, vCenter Infrastructure Navigator enables application-aware management of infrastructure and operations to better understand the impact of change, provide more complete disaster recovery protection and minimize downtime.
Automatically discover and keep up-to-date the names and version numbers of application components and services
Visualize application relationships, communication paths and backend connections at the infrastructure, guest OS and application level
Map dependencies of application components on the underlying virtual infrastructure to understand the impact of change and build disaster recovery plans with confidence
The use case you describe is more relevant to vFabric APM - VMware's perfomance management suit which among other capabilities, will alert and notify in case of application performance issues, unavailable services etc. take a look at http://www.vmware.com/products/application-platform/vfabric-application-performance-manager/overview.html

Monitoring and Alerting Infrastructure : Errors raised during Event Calculation

Hello together,
System: Solution Manager 7.1 Sp7
since one day I get this alert every five minute: "Monitoring and Alerting Infrastructure : Errors raised during Event Calculation".
Name....................Errors raised during Event Calculation
Start Time..............20.03.2014 15:12:27 CET
End Time................20.03.2014 15:12:27 CET
Managed Object..........Monitoring and Alerting Infrastructure
Managed Object Type.....Technical Component
Rating..................Red
Category................Exceptions
Status..................Open
Opening the alert shows this:
E2E Alert Analysis Report:
This metric outputs the der Event Calculation Engine (ECE) error messages. The ECE runs by default every minute, under the job name SAP_ALERT_CALCULATION_ENGINE, which then starts the report ACE_CALCULATION_CONTROLLER.
Analyze the error messages in the Application Log, as follows:
Start the transaction SLG1, and enter the object E2E_ALERTING and subobject ENGINE.
When opening trx SLG1 I can see this error:

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.

Operations Manager 2012 R2 : how to find all my rules, monitors and alerts (all in one custom MP)

How do I find all the rules, alerts, monitors and whatever in a give custom Management Pack?
All the bits and pieces I have created I have stored in a MP called "1 - MYDOMAIN CUSTOM"
Now suppose I want to review all my customisations. How do I do it? I had hoped that it would appear in a scope somewhere...
CarolChi

Many thanks
1) I can't find this: in the Authoring Console I have
management pack templates, distributed applications, groups, management pack objects
In Management Pack Objects I have Attributes, Monitors, Rules, ... but no where can I find ALL the customisation I have done.
2) Where can I find an example of powershell?
3, 4) Where do I get the override explorer. I was hoping not to have to use other tools.
5) I read that the Efffective Configuration Tool works with older versions of OpsMgr - is this true?
6) Again can you help with a link to the MP Viewer Tool?

CIF queue monitoring and alerting

Hi Gurus,
Is there any way we can have automatic monitoring of number of CIF queues .i.e if the CIF queues goes beyond a certain number, then I should get an email alert.
Or if I can get the alert configuration for number of entries in SMQ1 or SMQ2, it'll be great.
Thanks in advance ...
Regards,
Surendra

Hi Surendra,
I believe your APO Basis team might have an answer for the question.
And in case you are talking about the post processing errors, you can use the transaction/SAPAPO/CPPA. Even using this, will not tell you the number of post processing queues, but, its capable to telling you the number of users that initiated the queues. This transaction is capable of sending an email and by varying settings, it sends the number of messages equal to number of initiators of the queues.
Else, as already suggested, writing a report would be the option.
Cheers,
KC.

Content Engine transaction logs -- monitoring and analysis

At our remote sites there's a local Cisco CE511 to ease our WAN bandwidth. I have been tasked to find a method to gather CE usage for trending and troubleshooting.
From my search on the internet I decided to go with the Webalizer application. I setup the CEs to export their transaction logs every hour to my FTP server. After a test of Webalizer on a log file, it produced a nice HTML report for that hour.
I would like to discuss with anyone on bringing this up to a new level. I would like webalizer to run as a cron job, but the log file names changes every hour. So that's a hurdle I need to figure out. Also keeping track of user web hits is important. I would like to make sure my reports are accurate in reporting what IP address is the top talker.
I hope this will start a productive exchange of ideas. Thanks.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an interoperable standards-based protocol that allows for external monitoring of the Content Engine through an SNMP agent.
An SNMP-managed network consists of three primary components: managed devices, agents, and management systems. A managed device is a network node that contains an SNMP agent and resides on a managed network. Managed devices collect and store management information and use SNMP to make this information available to management systems that use SNMP. Managed devices include routers, access servers, switches, bridges, hubs, computer hosts, and printers.
An SNMP agent is a software module that resides in a managed device. An agent has local knowledge of management information and translates that information into a form compatible with SNMP. The SNMP agent gathers data from the Management Information Base (MIB), which is the repository for information about device parameters and network data. The agent can also send traps, or notification of certain events, to the manager.

Portal monitoring and alerting - Industry standard

Hi All,
We wanted to put up alert system for Portal. We have the standard set of alerts set which is being taken care by CCMS, also have the solution manager diagnostics set for portal and other systems. What we want is the client side monitoring which could be http response time and if it exceeds the threshold will alert us. Remember the alerting is major criteria here else the monitoring can be performed by diagnostics which we are doing on regular basis.
Is there a indusrty standard available for portal for such alerts? I am currently analysing 2/3 other products for the same. I want to take an advise from you all that what product is being used at your end and what are the benefits over Solman and CCMS.
Please let me know.
Regrdas,
Pankaj

Hello Pankaj
You might want to look into EEM (End-user Experience Monitoring) for SAP Solution Manager which has lots of information available (demo, video) on SAP SDN on the following URL:
[http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EEM/Home]
In short it enables you to record actions of end-users and then monitor those actions (response times and so on) of what your users normally perform during daily tasks and by doing that getting the technical view on what users are experiencing to be slow.
Kind regards
Tom

Central PI Monitoring and Alerting in Solution manager

According to SAP AG documentation [White Paper|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/104677d9-fc8c-2e10-dc92-c4e660b0dd8c?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true] - the Solution Manager 7.1 onward provides a central PI monitoring for technical componnents and buisness alerts in a single dashboard.
My question is : does the ALE monitoring status also included in this monitor?
does the SAP PI IDoc adapter (ABAP Based) of PI 7.11 can be monitored there as well?

Hi,
As per the below help.com ALE/Interface monitoring still part of the Business process monitoring.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm71_sp01/helpdata/en/c7/42f64707c04207b1b17a610c436a34/content.htm
But again PI Idoc adaptor can be monitored using channel monitor of PI monitoring.

Adapter monitoring and Alerts

Hi,
I have configured a sender e-mail adapter. The adapter is polling the inbox of an e-mail account. Is it possible to monitor this action with alerts?
E.g. the email account is locked. So the adapter in the adapter monitoring is red and shows an error message. Is this error picked up by the alerting framework?
I don't get any alerts on this situation.
Ron

Ron,
Like mentioned , check the note 913858 .
Also, just try this,
Make where the error occured as ALL ( INCLUDE INTEGRATION ENGINE and ADAPTER ENGINE ) and then test the user and see if the Alerts are generated.
Also, check for any dump in St22

Monitoring and Alerting from Essbase Admin Console.

Hi Gurus,
We are running a calculation scripts in Essbase 11.1.1.1 about 4 times a day. Sometime this scripts just failed or take too much time. Is there any machanisim/configuration in EAS that when scripts fails then the admin or users can get message?
Thanks
-Samar-

Hi Samar,
EAS is not going to give you this. However there are some tools that will.
Accelatis Ascension Suite will provide a complete range capabilities to address what you require and much more. It will monitor your logs, track events you define, and take action(send email, kill process, etc) on failure or success.
If you want to go the free route, I think the first step is to take a look at jRightLog. It provides log tailing and parsing into a format where you can then store the data in a database somewhere for later analysis. Once you get the data in the database, you create a server to monitor it and provide feedback as it does.

Technical Monitoring one template used for production and non-production system.

Dear All,
Is there a way to have one template in Solman Technical Monitoring for production system and non-production system with different alerts ? For example if it exceeds a threshold for production system it will trigger red alert or set automatically an incident and if it's non prod system it will go to yellow warning alert ?
Regards
Lukasz Goral

Hi Likasz,
You first create and customize the template, and then assign to a system.
If it was selecting a system and then customizing a template, then may be such functionality makes sense.
So, I don't think that is possible.
Better would be copy the template used for production to non-production and make the adjustment to it.

Divyanshu

What do you use to monitoring the IDs and Alerts?

I have installed a 4250 and built out some custom signatures got the email working from VMS 2.2 for some of high priority alerts. This all great but I was wondering what other people use to monitor the alerts and how they get notifications. I see what I have as being very limited in scope and there are a number of parts in VMS that just do not work.
Do you use other console products? I have seen a couple of applications advertised that say they aggregate alerts from the pix, ids and mcaffee. Just wondering if or what others use. I only have one ids but I do have other items pix, mcaffee.

I wish I could but I can't offer up anything that won't come at a cost.
The original poster in this thread alluded to solutions capable of looking at disperate data in one console. Thats a Security Information Management System (SIMS), pure and simple. Cisco sells one, as do many other vendors. The unfortunate thing is that there is no inexpensive SIMS solution out there that offers multi-product monitoring. They all come at a significant price point.
Since you both have a single sensor, I agree that VMS Basic is more than you need. The hiccups with it far outweigh the benefits. IEV might be "uncomfortable" to use but it works. In my experience (in a single-sensor monitoring environment), using IEV for monitoring and IDM for configuration management is the easiest, if not the most eloquent, solution.
If you want fancy visualization or reporting, you're going to have to be willing to plunk down some cash to buy it. With a single IDS sensor, it's just not economically viable IMHO.
I hope this helps,
Alex Arndt

Is it possible to monitor a particular Exchange 2010 mailbox via SCOM if 30 or more emails trigger in 30 minutes in the inbox and alert should be generated for that.
If this is not possible in SCOM. Is there another way we can do it via power shell or any thing.

Link sound and video in source monitor

Hi,
I'm using CS3. I have a mpeg video clip and a wav sound file on the timeline. The video / audio is not multiplexed. They are linked on the timeline. What I'd like to do is link the video and audio and go into the source monitor with the material.. so I can edit subclips etc from source monitor and put into a new video layer on timeline.
When I put both video and soundfile into source panel , edit video, and drag onto timeline only the video goes to timeline.
Is there a way to link them in the source monitor so both video and sound can be edited to timeiline?
Thanks
Rod

Rod,
I feel your pain. Many years ago, my cousin came to me to design a Web site for her trout ranch. Fine, no problem. I sent her the normal assignment list of questions: audience, their specific demographic, intent of Web site, history, services, etc., etc. Never got a thing back, but tons of e-mails on her ideas on how the site should look and the sites that it should link to. "OK, those are useful bits of info, but lets get back to the questions. I need those first." More sites to link to, and a couple of shreds of paper with ideas. "What's that on the bar napkins?" "Oh, that's the history of the ranch." I traveled to her ranch and shot for several days, and sent the select images on DVD for her to do a final edit. She sent those to Orvis, to use in a calender, without even credits! Luckily, I had not sent the chromes. She contacted me and asked if I had more stock shots, as Orvis wanted to save money on having someone shoot for them... Uh, not quite.
Finally got some useful ideas, and did a complete layout of the site. I kept pressing for the "Who We Are" material, and got more napkins and backs of envelopes with some real Joycean writings. I took all of that info to a copywriter friend, who owed me for some photoshoots. He worked for a few weeks, e-mailing me lists of questions. I FWD'ed those to cousin, and never got a reply. When he was done, I sent the copy to her - not even close. I asked her to write it all down in a TXT, or DOC file and send it to me. A few weeks later, I got legal sheet of lined paper with words that would have made Kafka ponder.
Still, I plugged along, and sent the complete layout. "Where's the canoe rental?" "No one ever mentioned canoe rentals." "Where's the horse boarding?" "What horse boarding? When did that get added?" On it went. I finally managed to do a mock-up of the site, which was now about 60 pages, and linked to over 300 sites around the globe. Well, now there was an espresso stand on the highway, a dog boarding concession and a half-dozen other additions. Plus, the interiors of all of the rooms had been redone, since I shot them. I built the changes in Photoshop, and "redecorated" each room, per the descriptions of those decorations.
Even then, the Who We Are was not right, and incomplete. After four months of work, I issued an ultimatum - I am done, until you get me the info requested in that first form, with a BTW - here's another copy. [Sounds a bit like Harm's 5th request for necessary info.]
A month elapsed, and then I got an e-mail. A friend of a friend had designed a wonderful site for her in trade-out. I went to the URL. It was a two pager with zero links to anything. It did have a Who We Are, but it read like Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
Next e-mail was "would you be my Webmaster and update my site weekly?" My answer was that because I was so busy, I was not the right person for that job. I taught her Acrobat, and did add a few PDF pages for her, but that was it.
In the end, it was hard labor and little fun. The site was passable, but nothing like she stated was necessary. I do not know if she ever updated any of the PDF's, but highly doubt it. I never even got a thank you note from Orvis either. Loads of fun. Remember my comment in another thread on the "Three Reasons for Taking an Assignment?" Could have been fun, but it was not.
I wish you luck, as I have "been there - done that," and it ain't no fun.
