Configuration of SapB1EventsTest

This test reports the count of events that were completed with Success, Filtered and Failure status. This test also reveals the rate at which events were completed with Success, Filtered and Failure status. Using this test, administrators can periodically monitor a sudden surge in the count of events that failed, analyze the reason behind such failure events and proactively prevent such failures.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

  • 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.

  • In the PORT text box, enter the port to which the specified host listens.

  • In the DATABASE TYPE text box, 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 Configurable parameters for the test 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.

  • In the PASSWORD text box, specify the password of the specified Database User.

  • In the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box, Confirm the password by retyping it.

  • 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 DOMAIN 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.

  • Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

  • To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

    The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

    • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability

    • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

  • If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

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

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
