The SAP CCMS Monitor allows you to monitor the performance data for various components of your SAP R/3 landscape. You can monitor multiple parameters or counters with a single monitor instance. This allows you to watch server loading for performance, availability, and capacity planning.
With SAP's Computer Center Management System a SAP administrator can monitor all servers, components and resources in the SAP R/3 landscape from one centralized server, greatly facilitating not only problem discovery but also problem diagnosis. Using SAP's new advanced CCMS interface BC-XAL 1.0, this new SiteScope monitor exposes hundreds of performance and availability metrics that the existing SiteScope SAP monitor did not have access to. The error and warning thresholds for the monitor can be set for up to ten of the nearly 120 SAP server performance statistics available.
This monitor only retrieves and displays numeric metrics (Performance attributes). That is, Status, Log and Information attributes are currently not supported. Also, presentation and management of SAP CCMS Alerts in SiteScope are not supported at this time.
About scheduling this monitor
The default run schedule for this monitor is every 10 minutes, but you can change it to run more or less often using the Update every setting. Note, however, that CCMS metrics are generally only updated once every 5 minutes.
Software Requirements
· The SAP CCMS Monitor requires that the SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo 2.0.10) component be downloaded from the SAP Service Marketplace Software Distribution Center, and installed on the same server where SiteScope is running (or at least be accessible on a shared or remote location).
· The BC-XAL 1.0 interface is supported on R/3 systems 4.5B and above only.
· Consult your SAP documentation to determine if your R/3 landscape components may need additional software installed to run or work with CCMS.
To integrate SiteScope with the SAP Java Connector
1. Using a Web browser, go to the online SAP Software Distribution Center at:
http://www.service.sap.com/connectors
Note: You will need a valid Service Marketplace login to access this site.
2. Click "SAP Java Connector", "Tools and Services".
3. Download and install the SAP Java Connector for the SiteScope platform you will use to monitor the SAP metrics. Follow the installation instructions included with the SAP JCo download to install the files on the server where SiteScope installed or where they are accessible to the SiteScope process.
4. Set environment or system variables on the server where SiteScope is installed to define the location of the SAP Java Connector libraries. Use the following steps based on the platform used to run SiteScope.
On Windows platforms, you add the SAP Java Connector installation location in the System Environment PATH variable rather than as a User variable. This change usually requires you to then reboot Windows in order for the system PATH to be updated.
On UNIX platforms, the best way to make the shared objects accessible to SiteScope is to edit the start-monitor file supplied with SiteScope. This file is found in the
To modify the start-monitor file on SiteScope for UNIX:
a. Open the start-monitor file with a text editor
b. Locate the following line with the load library variable: LD_LIBRARY_PATH= and add the location of the SAP JCO shared libs (*.so) to load library path as follows:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
c. Save the changes to the file
5. After you have installed the SAP Java Connector download, find the file sapjco.jar in the location where you installed the download. Copy the sapjco.jar file to the
6. Stop and restart the SiteScope service or process.
