Default Parameters for SapWasClusMsgTest

For each Cluster element of the SAP Java System, this test reports the total messages and broadcast messages sent. The P2P messages and requests sent from each cluster element is also monitored and the cluster element that is sending the maximum number of such messages and requests are identified. The data transferred from each cluster element is monitored periodically and the cluster element that is transferring the maximum amount of data is identified.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the SapWasClusMsgTest test.

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • In the CENTRAL WSDL PORT text box, specify the port number of the SAPControl web service. To determine the exact port number of the SAPControl web service, you can look up the etc/services file on the SAP ABAP system being monitored. If the port number is not declared in the etc/services file, you can specify the default port number of the web service against WSDL Port If the web service is not SSL-enabled, then the default port number of the web service will be: 5<NR>13. Similarly, if the web service is SSL-enabled, then the default port number of the web service will be: 5<NR>14. <NR> in the port number refers to the system number of the SAP server being monitored. The system number is an indicator of the TCP/IP port at which the SAP server listens. For example, for a server that listens at port 3200, the system number will be ‘00’. Similarly, if the SAP server port is 3201, the system number will have to be specified as ‘01’. Accordingly, the default port number of an SSL-enabled SAPControl web service will be 50014 , if the system number is 00, or 50114, if the system number is 01.

  • To enable the test to access the SAPControl web service and collect the required metrics, you need to configure the OS USERNAME and OS PASSWORD parameters of the test with the credentials (i.e., name and password) of an OS user, who fulfills one of the following conditions:

    • The name of the OS user should be declared using the service\admin_users profile parameter; (OR)

    • The name of the user group to which the OS user belongs should be declared using the service\admin_groups profile parameter; (OR)

    • The OS user should have the permission to execute the sapstartsrv executable

  • Confirm the OS password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • By default, this test uses the SAPControl web service for collecting measures. Set the SSL parameter to Yes, if the SAPControl web service is SSL-enabled. Set this parameter to No, if the SAPControl web service is not SSL-enabled.

  • Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
