Using Multiple CCMSPING Agents

Hello,
we have a SAP Solution Manager on which we run 4 CCMSPING agents.
We are monitoring round about 500 SAP systems with this configuration. For every system with have assigned one of the 4 CCMSPING agents.
If one of the CCMSPING agents fails we get "Availabilty errors" for every system which is monitored by the assigend agent. So far so good.
Now we are thinking about to create a agent group according to description http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/4e/06ae409567942ae10000000a155106/content.htm
For me it sounds like if we have assigned this agent group (including all CCMSPING agents)  it doesn't matter if one agent fails. The system availability will be monitored by the remaining agents. Only when no CCMSPING is running anymore then we will get an availability error caused by the not running CCMSPING agents.
Could this be the correct way to monitor systems with an agent group ?
Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
i'm not quite sure anymore, but i think i read somewhere, that the actual behaviour is like you said:

So i would let the four ccmsping-agents, that are already monitoring your landscape, untouched.
Then i would take an other server (not the one, where the 4 ping-agents are already running) and install 4 new ping-agents and assign them the same layout of your landscape as you did with your "old" ping-agents.
Finally i would create pairwise agent groups. Each consisting of two ping-agents on two different server "pinging" the same systems.

  • Installing multiple CCMSping Agent

    Hello all,
    We need to bring the system availability data through CCMSping agent from one of our satellite system.
    But that satellite system's CCMSping agent is already pointing to another Solution Manager system.
    So my question is, is it possible to install multiple CCMS ping agent in a system?
    Kindly advice,
    Thank You,
    Regards,
    Hasanali

    Hello,
    As far as I understand, we can use only a single CSMCONF file in a particular remote system's 'CCMS agent configuration directory'.
    Either you delete the current registration and current CSMCONF file - and then start new registration in DIALOG mode to register BOTH the CENs during 'a single registration/installation procedure'. Refer the help page -
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/40/dec07983db1d428b2c25381dc4e3d4/content.htm
    OR, you keep existing registration and current CSMCONF file - and then start another registration (for second CEN) in DIALOG-FREE mode by editing the existing/current CSMCONF file itself.

  • How to run multiple CodedUI Ordered Tests over multiple Test Agents for parallel execution using Test Controller

    we are using VS 2013, I need to run multiple Coded UI Ordered Tests in parallel on different agents.
    My requirement :
    Example:   I have 40 Coded UI Test scripts in single solution/project. i want to run in different OS environments(example 5 OS ).  I have created 5 Ordered tests with the same 40 test cases. 
    I have one Controller machine and 5 test agent machines. Now I want my tests to be distributed in a way that every agent gets 1 Ordered test to execute. 
    Machine_C = Controller (Controls Machine_1,2,3,4,5)
    Machine_1 = Test Agent 1 (Should execute Ordered Test 1 (ex: OS - WIN 7) )
    Machine_2 = Test Agent 2 (Should execute Ordered Test 2 (ex:
    OS - WIN 8) )
    Machine_3 = Test Agent 3 (Should execute Ordered Test 3
    (ex: OS - WIN 2008 server)  )
    Machine_4 = Test Agent 4 (Should execute Ordered Test 4 (ex:
    OS - WIN 2012 server) )
    Machine_5 = Test Agent 5 (Should execute Ordered Test 5 (ex:
    OS - WIN 2003 server) )
    I have changed the  “MinimumTestsPerAgent” app setting value
    as '1' in controller’s configuration file (QTController.exe.config).
    When I run the Ordered tests from the test explorer all Test agent running with each Ordered test and showing the status as running. but with in the 5 Test Agents only 2 Agents executing the test cases remaining all 3 agents not executing the test cases but
    status showing as 'running' still for long time (exp: More then 3 hr) after that all so  its not responding. 
    I need to know how I can configure my controller or how I can tell it to execute these tests in parallel on different test agents. This will help me reducing the script execution time. 
     I am not sure what steps I am missing. 
    It will be of great help if someone can guide me how this can be achieved.
    -- > One more thing Can I Run one Coded UI Ordered Test on One Specific Test Agent?
    ex: Need to run ordered Test 1 in Win 7 OS (Test Agent 1) only.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Divakar,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    As far as I know, we cannot specify coded UI ordered test run on specific test agent. And it is mainly that test controller determine which coded UI ordered test assign to which test agent.
    Generally, I know that if we want to run multiple CodedUI Ordered Tests over multiple Test Agents for parallel execution using Test Controller.
    We will need to change the MinimumTestsPerAgent property to 1 in the test controller configuration file (QTControllerConfig.exe.config) as you said.
    And then we will need to change the bucketSize number of tests/number of machines in the test settings.
    For more information about how to set this bucketSize value, please refer the following blog.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/aseemb/archive/2010/08/11/how-to-run-automated-tests-on-different-machines-in-parallel.aspx

  • Running multiple SSIS packages using SQL Server Agent question.

    I have a multitude of SSIS packages I want to run using SQL Server Agent.  What would the best practice be for running these jobs using SQL Server Agent?  One job per package or running all pakages from one job?  If you have an answer can
    you explain the technical reasoning behind your answer?  Thanks in advance.
    Stan Benner

    Hi, maybe a bit more analysis will give a better answer
    Do all the packages have to run in sequence? (if yes, single job better)
    Can the list of packages to be executed be grouped by dependency (ex package 1,2 and 5 must run in sequence and can be executed by one job, while package 3,4 are not dependent on package 1,2 and 5 can be run by a separate job).
    Can any jobs be run in parallel?
    How often will the package execution sequence change?
    How will you deploy your packages and job? (the more jobs to create the more install script needed and upgrade scenarios become messy).
    My personal preference:
    I create ONE ssis package which is executed by ONE sql agent job. lets call this 'PackageExecutionWrapper.dtsx'
    PackageExectionWrapper then contains multiple 'Execute Package' tasks for the packages you want to execute.
    In the package you can apply any package execution rules - which packages have to run after the other, which packages can run concurrently, which packages should only run if previous succeeded.
    If you need to change the sequence, simple, just update the PackageExecutionWrapper package.

  • Using multiple agents through one webgate

    How can we use multiple agents through one webgate.when i copy a file OBACESSCLIENT.XML its gets overwritten what should i do.

    This is trivial to do - just don't use Finder aliases.
    Aliases are Mac OS X-specific and UNIX-based applications like apache don't know how to deal with them.
    The solution is to use symbolic links, the original UNIX equivalent of the Mac's aliases.:
    <pre class=command>$ cd /Library/WebServer/Documents
    $ ln -s /Volumes/User1Drive user1
    $ ln -s /Volumes/User2Drive user2
    ...</pre>
    etc.
    This will create a symbolic link from user1 to /Volumes/User1Drive. Now when anyone hits /user1 on your server they'll given the content on /Volume/User1Drive.
    There is an alternative solution which doesn't use directory paths, but hostnames. It's possible to configure Apache's virtual hosts so that 'http://user1.server.com/' is based on /Volumes/User1Drive while 'http://user2.server.com/' is based on /Volumes/User2Drive, and so on.
    This takes some configuration in DNS to point all the hostnames to the same IP address, but it's another option that can scale without the need of more IP addresses.

  • Multiple Schedule Agents for One Work Repository

    Hi
    Does anyonem know if it should be possible to have multiple schedule agents running (on different machines, with different names, ports etc.), but all agents use the same master and work repository (defined in odiparams.sh).
    I seem to be having a problem with this set up. Only one of the schedules is working. I can add schedules to any of the other agents, but when I go to update scheduling (in TM) and then view the schedule, odi tells me it is unable to retrieve the schule information.
    This error is usually caused by either empty schedule, or odiparams.sh connection information not being set correctly. But in my case it must be correct as I can see items in one of the schedules.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I don't really know if multiple Scheduler agents on the same repositories is possible.
    But I just can say that I have the following message too : "unable to retrieve the schedule information".
    This message appears each time I try to view the schedule.
    I have tried to correct things to avoid this message but it always appears.
    At the end all my scheduling works fine so I let it.
    Moreover when this message appears if I click ok it loads me the calendar with all the scheduled tasks of the period.
    So my question is, what do you see when you click Ok after the Warning message occurs ?
    Do yo see the scheduling planning empty ?

  • Multiple Process agents to send out single message

    Is it possible for multiple Outbound agents to send out a single generic message? For example 2 AP BO's, Lead and Opportunity both would require to send out a generic message to another BO in  a different DU. If yes, how could this be acheived?

    it use appleID for the whole communication model so you would  not be able to msg her using imassages as that would imply that you're sending yourself an message

  • How do I use multiple addresses at one time?

    Shouldn't the Adobe server page that allows for the entry of a recipients address tell users how to add another address?  Do we separate them with semicolons? Commas?  Or is it even possible to use multiple addresses?

    Yes, Adobe Send.
    Unfortunately, it is NOT spelled out on the page where you enter email addresses of recipients, nor is it revealed if you click on the question mark box by email address.

  • How do I use multiple accounts on the same Mac with Apple TV2?

    I have home sharing turned on in two separate accounts on a single MacPro.  When I am logged into both accounts, I can see both accounts' iTunes Libraries available in the AppleTV2.  However, when I try to open each account iTunes Library in the AppleTV2, only one account will open (whichever one I logged into first).  (In other words, I log into Account1 then open iTunes with Home Sharing On, then log into Account2 (while Account1 is still logged on), open iTunes with Home Sharing On. AppleTV2 shows Account1 Library and Account2 Library under Computers, but will only load Account1 Library.  Account2 Library will just cause AppleTV2 to search for the Library then give an error.)  How come AppleTV2 can see both Libraries but will only open one Library?  How can I fix this?
    Thanks,
    zpockets

    Thank you for replying.  Both of the accounts are Admin accounts.  The Libraries are kept in the user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on each account.  However, I do use multiple iTunes Libraries on my Account1.  One of the Libraries I use in Account1 is on a separate internal HD.  However, the other Libraries I use in Account1 are stored in user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on the main HD (which hosts both Account1 and Account2).  It doesn't seem to matter whether I am using an iTunes Library on an external drive or the main drive in Account1, I still get the same problem: only account1 library will load.  AppleTV sees that the Account2 Library is there, but it won't load it.

  • How do I use multiple librarys to organize my projects

    Is there a way to use multiple libraries to organize my projects. I don't like having all my projects in one library. I'd like separate libraries for Family_Movies, BirthdaysandHolidays, Vacations, etc...
    Thanks.

    You can create multiple folders in your Project Library. I have a folder for each year. Then within the year, if I make several videos on one subject (say a trip to Europe) I will create sub folders within the year.
    There is no limitation on what you name your Folders, so you could name them Family Movies, Vacations, Birthdays, etc.
    When you are in the Project Library View, you can click FILE/NEW FOLDER. For a subfolder, click on the parent folder and then click New Folder.

    Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • Using multiple 'and' conditions in a SQL query

    Is it possible to reduce the SQL required to query using multiple 'and' conditions, e.g. I have a query like the following:
    select stat.personal_id, appt.username, appt.password, apps.rgn_apt_id, apps.apy_apn_id
    from apy_ast_application_status stat, rgn_usr_user appt, rgn_aps_applications apps
    where stat.apy_apn_id = apps.rgn_apt_id
    and apps.rgn_apt_id = appt.rgn_apt_id
    and stat.application_completed is null
    and stat.application_started_date > '01-MAY-11'
    and stat.amount_paid is null
    and stat.personal_details = 'C'
    and stat.further_details = 'C'
    and stat.education = 'C'
    and stat.employment = 'C'
    and stat.personal_statement = 'C'
    and stat.choices = 'C'
    and stat.reference = 'C'
    and stat.student_finance = 'C'
    Is there a way, to reduce all the multiple 'and' queries, to be read from say one line? If you know what I mean.......

    Ah, Ok this looks nice, thanks very much. It doesn't quite run as is because the stat.amount_paid query value is 'is null', while the others are 'C'. I tried amending the relevant line to various versions of the following:-
    in (select 'is null' 'C','C','C','C','C','C','C','C' from dual)
    which doesn't work.
    I can get the following to work so I am assuming that the it is not possible to use different query values within the brackets of the 'in (select....' statement?
    select stat.personal_id, appt.username, appt.password, apps.rgn_apt_id, apps.apy_apn_id
    from apy_ast_application_status stat, rgn_usr_user appt, rgn_aps_applications apps
    where stat.apy_apn_id = apps.rgn_apt_id
    and apps.rgn_apt_id = appt.rgn_apt_id
    and stat.application_completed is null
    and stat.application_started_date > '01-MAY-11'
    and stat.amount_paid is null
    and (stat.personal_details, stat.further_details, stat.education,
    stat.employment, stat.personal_statement, stat.choices, stat.reference, stat.student_finance)
    in (select 'C','C','C','C','C','C','C','C' from dual)
