Default Parameters for SapMonsTest_cf

This test reports the number of monitor sets that currently exists in the CCMS alert monitor of this SAP R/3 server. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the SapMonsTest_cf.

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

• In the CLIENTNAME text box, specify the ID of the client system that is connecting to the R/3 server. To view the complete list of client IDs to choose from, do the following:

  • From any SAP client, execute the SAPlogon tool using the menu sequence: Start -> Programs -> SAP Front End -> SAPlogon.

  • Click on the Logon button in the dialog box that appears, and login to the SAP R/3 server using a valid user name and password.

  • Using the tree-structure in the SAP Easy Access console, navigate to the Client Maintenance node. The node sequence to be used is: SAP menu -> Tools -> Administration -> Client Administration -> Client Maintenance.

  • Double-click on the Client Maintenance node.

  • A Display View "Clients" page will appear, which will display the details of SAP clients. Any of the values of the Client column in this page, can be provided as the value of the CLIENTNAME parameter.

• In the INSTANCENAME text box, specify the name of the SAP R/3 instance to be monitored. By default, this parameter is set to none. To view the complete list of instances to choose from, do the following:

  • From any SAP client, execute the SAPlogon tool using the menu sequence: Start -> Programs -> SAP Front End -> SAPlogon.

  • Click on the Logon button in the dialog box that appears, and login to the SAP R/3 server using a valid user name and password.

  • Using the tree-structure in the SAP Easy Access console, navigate to the CCMS tool available under the TOOLS option. The node sequence to be used is: SAP menu -> Tools -> CCMS -> Control/Monitoring -> Control Panel.

  • Double-click on the Control Panel node.

  • A Display Server Statuses and Alerts page will appear, which will display the details of the SAP Servers. Any of the values of the Server Name column in this page, can be provided as the value of the INSTANCENAME parameter.

• In the TIMEOUT text box, indicate the duration (in seconds) for which this test should wait for a response from the SAP R/3 server. By default, this is set to 120 seconds.

• Provide a valid user name for logging into the SAP R/3 server, in the SAPUSER text box. In order to enable the eG suite to effectively monitor SAP, the name of a user with either of the following profiles needs to be specified here: S_A.SYSTEM (super administrator) or SAP_ALL (all authorizations for SAP).

• The PASSWORD text box indicates the password of the specified SAPUSER.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRMPASSWORD text box.

• A SYSNO is nothing but an indicator of the TCP/IP port at which the SAP server listens. For example, for a server that listens at port 3200, the SYSNO will be '00'. Similarly, if the SAP server port is 3201, the SYSNO will have to be specified as '01'. Therefore, in the SYSNO text box specify the system number of the SAP server with which the specified client communicates.

• If the SAP client with the specified CLIENTNAME exists in a network external to the SAP server, then a router will be used to enable the server-client communication. In such a case, specify the IP of the router in the ROUTER text box. If both the client and the server exist in the same network, then specify 'none' against the ROUTER text box.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed (e.g., if the URL is "http://$hostName:$port", for a specific web server running on the host www.abc.com on port 80, the URL parameter will be set to "http://www.abc.com:80").
