Default Parameters for SapB1TaskExecTest

This test auto-discovers the task types that are executing on the target SAP Business One and for each task type, reports the total number of times the tasks were executed. This test also reveals the number of times the tasks of each task type were executed successfully and the number of times the tasks of each task type failed execution. Using this test, administrators can figure out the tasks of the task type that encountered frequent execution failures and trouble shoot such failures well before the users connecting to SAP Business One start complaining!

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the SapB1TaskExecTest.

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

  • In the HOST text box, specify the IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured.

  • By default, SAP Business One runs either on SAP HANA or Microsoft SQL Database server i.e., the backend database of SAP Business One is either SAP HANA or Microsoft SQL Database server. If the target SAP Business One runs on SAP HANA, choose HANA from the DATABASE TYPE list. By default, MsSQL option will be chosen from this list indicating that the target SAP Business One runs on Microsoft SQL Database server.

  • In the DATABASE HOST text box, specify the IP address of the host on which the database (i.e., the SAP HANA or Microsoft SQL Database server) of the target SAP Business One is installed.

  • In the DATABASE PORT text box, specify the port at which the specified Database Host listens to. The default Database Port is 1433, if the target Business One runs on Microsoft SQL Database server and 30015, if the target Business One runs on SAP HANA.

  • If the target SAP Business One runs on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or above, provide the name of a SQL user with all of the privileges in this text box. If the target SAP Business One runs on SAP HANA database server, then, a special database user account with Monitoring privileges has to be created on the SAP HANA database server of the target SAP Business One that requires monitoring. Specify the name of this user against the DATABASE USER parameter.

  • specify the password of the specified Database User in the PASSWORD text box and confirm the password by retyping it on the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • To collect metrics from the logs of the target SAP Business One, the eG agent should connect to the SAP Business One database and other common databases such as RSP, B1if, SBO-COMMON etc. For this, you need to specify the name of the SAP Business One database corresponding to the target SAP Business One being monitored against the DATABASE NAME parameter.

  • The INSTANCE flag is set to default by default. This implies that the eG agent automatically discovers the instance name at run time.

  • This parameter is applicable only if MsSQL option is chosen from the Database Type list.

    By default, none is displayed in the DOMAIN text box. If the ‘SQL server and Windows’ authentication has been enabled for the server being monitored, then the DOMAIN can continue to be none. On the other hand, if ‘Windows only’ authentication has been enabled, then, in the DOMAIN text box, specify the Windows domain in which the managed Microsoft SQL server exists. Also, in such a case, the USER name and PASSWORD that you provide should be that of a user authorized to access the Microsoft SQL database server of the target SAP Business One.

  • 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.
