1. What does the abbreviation CCMS stand for?

CCMS stands for Computing Center Management System.

2. What transactions does the MaxDB/liveCache CCMS incorporate?

ST04: DB Performance Monitor

DB02: Tables and Indexes Monitor

DB13 and DB13C (up to 6.40): Central DBA Planning Calendar

DB59: MaxDB/liveCache System Overview

DB50: SAP DB Assistant

LC10: liveCache Assistant

RZ20: CCMS Monitoring

DBACOCKPIT: Start DBA Cockpit (as of SAP Release 7.0)

3. What Basis Support Packages are the minimum prerequisites for MaxDB CCMS?

To ensure that the MaxDB-CCMS will work, the minimum requirement depends on your SAP release and on the database version that you use. This information in available in Note 382312 "Retrieval of CCMS for R/3 on SAP DB >= 7.2 (7.2,..., 7.6)". Refer also to the related notes specified in Note 382312.

4. Which software prerequisites must be fulfilled on the application servers so that I can use CCMS?

To be able to use the MaxDB/liveCache CCMS, the following components must be installed on each application server:

- a MaxDB client installation (Note 649814),

- a current version of the transport program 'tp'.

- the MaxDB-DBSL (Note 325402),

5. What user role must an SAP user have to be able to work with the MaxDB/liveCache CCMS?

To be able to use the MaxDB-CCMS, you require the user role SAP_BC_DB_ADMIN_SDB.

If you want to administer a liveCache using transaction LC10, refer to Note 452745 for information about which authorizations you require.

6. Why do I require the integration data in transaction DB59?

To successfully use the MaxDB/liveCache CCMS, you must maintain the integration data. For the procedure, see Note 588515.

7. Can I also include Max DB databases in the CCMS that are not included in the SAP system landscape and therefore centrally operate the computer center from a transaction in an SAP system?

Yes, by maintaining the integration data using transaction DB58 you can also include an external MaxDB/liveCache database for administration in an SAP system.

You can use transaction DB13C in WebAS 6.* to administrate external databases from a central SAP system.

As of WebAs 7.00, the administration is carried out with transaction DBACOCKPIT or DB59 --> Tools --> DBA Plannign Calendar.

8. What actions must I carry out to include an external database in the CCMS?

See Note 588515.

9. Can I use CCMS to administer a MaxDB/liveCache from an SAP system that runs using a database system other than MaxDB?

Yes, refer to Note 588515 for more information.

10. What prerequisites must be fulfilled to enable me to use the RZ20 (CCMS Monitoring Architecture) for the Max DB or the liveCache?

See Note 545030.

11. How can I analyze connection problems?

- Ensure that the software listed in section 4 of this note is installed on the application servers.

- Ensure that the minimum prerequisites of the Basis Support Packages (Note 382312) are fulfilled.

- Ensure that the integration data in transaction DB59 is correct.

- Execute a connection test in transaction DB59 and check the log.

If you cannot solve the problem yourself, open a customer message on the component BC-DB-SDB-CCM and attach the log to the message.

12. May a remote system that is included in the CCMS with DB59 have the same logical name as the local system?

No. The physical name of both databases (remote and local) can be identical. However, the logical name that is used to include the remote database in transaction DB59 must differ from the name of the local database.

If this restriction is ignored, various errors may occur within transactions DB59/DB50 and DBACockpit.

13. How can I determine whether the error has already been corrected in the CCMS?

If you want to check whether the CCMS problem that occurred in your system has been corrected, you should first search for notes. If the note search remains unsuccessful, you can search for errors in the WebPTS MaxDB error message tool (http://www.sapdb.org/webpts) in the advanced tool under component CCMS.

14. Where can I find more information about MaxDB CCMS?

Note 767598 provides information about where you can find the MaxDB/liveCache documentation online. Further information is available in the database administration handbuch in CCMS: MaxDB.

15. Where can I find more information about transaction LC10?

Note 767598 provides information about where you can find the MaxDB/liveCache documentation online. Further information is available in the database administration handbuch in CCMS: SAP liveCache technology.
