Sending Monitoring Data to SAP Systems
::: SAP XMW support has been deprecated. :::
Monitoring data from Redwood Server can also be sent to SAP Systems and displayed alongside other SAP-specific monitors in transaction RZ20 or Solution Manager using the XMW interface. This interface is configured per SAP System and requires an RFC user with sufficient privileges, as outlined in Reference SAP RFC User Privileges.
Before you can send monitoring data to an SAP System about queues and process servers in Redwood Server you will have to create a monitor tree if that has not already been done.
You may set a maximum setting for the number of RFC connections, please see the tuning for more information.
note
XBP 3.0 requires a logical system for the client, see Setting Up Logical Systems for more information on creating logical systems for clients.
Prerequisites
- The JCo libraries must be available, see the Installing the JCO Libraries topic for more information.
- An RFC user with sufficient privileges
- A Redwood Server Monitor tree
- An SAP NetWeaver AS 6.20 system with Support Package 12 or higher.
Procedure
To setup synchronization of monitoring data with an SAP System
- Navigate to "Environment > SAP".
- Choose Edit from the context-menu of an SAP System.
- Choose the XMW tab and fill in the credentials of the RFC user.
- Choose Save & Close.
- Navigate to "Environment > Process Servers".
- Choose Stop and then choose Start from the context-menu of the corresponding process server. Please wait for the status of the process server to reach Shutdown prior to starting it.
To read the Redwood Server monitoring data in an SAP System
- Log in to the central monitoring system. Open transaction RZ20.
- Open monitor System / All Monitoring Segments / All Monitoring Contexts of monitor set SAP CCMS Technical Expert Monitors.
- Look for an MTE of MTE class RedwoodContext.
- Choose the top node.
- Choose Edit > Selections > Select > Node (MTE) of a class.
- Enter RedwoodContext.
- Choose ENTER twice. The correct MTE is now selected (but still hidden).
- Select Tree > Expand tree > Along selection. Now you can see the Redwood Server monitoring data tree, the name of the main node follows this syntax:
<product> <SAP System Name in the Scheduler>@<sap ID>.<product>is either Redwood Server or Scheduler, depending on your license.<system ID>is<hostname>on Redwood Platform.- Example:
Scheduler TB7@sol05orSAP BPA TB7@SAP:RIU_09.
tip
You can also create a new monitor showing SAP BPA data only. This is described in detail in Editing Monitors and Monitor Sets
Values
Configuration details for sending Redwood Server monitoring data to an SAP System can be found in the Configuration Details for Sending Monitoring Data to SAP Systems section of the documentation.
