System Monitor CCMS

The CCMS Alert Monitoring Infrastructure provides you with the possibility of monitoring a mySAP Business Suite efficiently and centrally.

From a performance point of view, the workload of the central monitoring system increases only insignificantly, as the collection of monitoring data is usually decentralized. If errors occur, the administrator can jump directly from the central monitoring system to the appropriate component to correct a problem in a detailed analysis.
• Every instances of an SAP system has its own monitoring segment in shared memory.
• The number of monitoring segments is determined by the number of instances. Whether or not several instances run on the same hardware, for instance, does not play any role in this.

CCMS Alert Monitoring Infrastructure in Detail (Cont.)
The administration level allows the display and evaluation of the data from the monitoring segment. SAP provides an expert tool, the CCMS Alert Monitor (transaction RZ20) as a display transaction. Alternatively, you can use the SAP Solution Manager to display the data in a business process-oriented context.

In large system landscapes, SAP recommend that you include a separate system that is used only special tasks such as central monitoring, Central User Administration, transport domains controller, or the SAP Solution Manager.

Why Monitor?
Many components are involved in the processing of a business process in the mySAP Business Suite. These components must be monitored, as both a gradual reduction in performance and a sudden breakdown of a component could affect the entire productivity. It is a task of the administrator to monitor the system landscape regularly, and not only in the case of errors, but to take preventative action.

SAP Monitor Structure
Monitoring should be organized as efficiently as possible. An efficient monitoring structure should be able to display the entire system landscape centrally at a glance. If an error occurs, the person responsible is automatically notified. Tools should be provided for the analysis of errors that provide cross-system detailed information about the problem.
• Data collectors can be ABAP, C, or Java programs. • Each data collector checks its subcomponent at regular intervals and stores the collected monitoring data in the main memory of its host.

Unit Objectives
Explain the concepts of the CCMS Alert Monitoring Infrastructure Use the CCMS Alert Monitor to monitor your system Configure the central monitoring of remote systems Design and create your own monitors Activate threshold values that are suitable for your system environment Describe the added value of the SAP Solution Manager in an SAP system landscape
At the data storage level, the area of the main memory that contains the monitoring data from the data collector is called the monitoring segment.
• The data collection and storage elements must be present on every component that is to be centrally monitored.

CCMS Components Properties
The infrastructure must be installed on every component that is to be centrally monitored. Each component collects its own monitoring data using the infrastructure and stores it locally in the main memory. This part of the main memory is called the monitoring segment.
The CCMS Alert Monitoring Infrastructure consists of three parts: Data collection, data storage, and administration. At the data collection level, special programs called data collectors.
If the system identifies a problem, it can execute an auto reaction, such as informing the responsible person. The analysis method then helps you to investigate the problem.
You can integrate your own components using data collectors that you have written yourself.
