systems from one central system. The system used
for Central Monitoring is referred to as CEN. _________________________________

39

Steps to Set Up CEN System – Java

_________________________________
• Activate background and Central System Dispatching _________________________________
• Create the CSMREG user _________________________________
• Create the CSMCONF Start File for CCMS agents _________________________________
• Register the CCMS Agent SAPCCMSR in Visual
_________________________________
Administrator
_________________________________
• Check Java instance in RZ21 Topology

transaction ST03G _________________________________
2. In the navigation bar, expand the Settings & Log
_________________________________
subtree, and double-click the System Selection entry
3. Add an additional row to the desired list of monitored _________________________________
components by choosing the (Append Row) button _________________________________

agent is registered _________________________________
ΠMon. Sys. Dest. RFC destination of the system ID of the
primary agent system; if a suitable destination does not yet _________________________________
exist, create this using transaction SM59

NWA Central Configuration

_________________________________
• Perform the following steps: _________________________________
ΠConfigure and activate the System Landscape Directory (SLD)
_________________________________
f Activate the Object Server

f Load the CIM model _________________________________

f Start the Data Supplier Bridge _________________________________
ΠAdjust the Central Monitoring System (CEN)
_________________________________
f For every instance of a J2EE Engine:

ƒ Register a CCMS Agent SAPCCMSR

_________________________________
f For every ABAP instance: _________________________________
ƒ Register a CCMS Agent SAPCCM4X
_________________________________
f Register CCMSPING and assign the monitored systems
_________________________________
ΠSetup NWA connections
56
Connecting CEN to NWA – Template Installer
_________________________________
• These templates are designed to connect NWA _________________________________
to an SLD on the same instance
_________________________________
• For monitoring your CEN, SLD and NWA should be on
the same instance _________________________________
ΠIf they are not, you need to do some steps manually _________________________________
• It makes sense for these tools to reside on the Solution
Manager instance _________________________________
• Some systems (NWDI, PI) should have Production Type _________________________________
SLD _________________________________
• Solution Manager is not always considered a Production
Machine _________________________________
GOTCHA!
• Spend time creating an architecture for your monitoring _________________________________
systems

7 Key Points to Take Home
• Your monitoring should be consistent and repetitive
• Make notes on errors that occur normally in your Java
engine with no apparent ill effects
• Configure Central Monitoring at least for plug-ins
• Create a monitoring architecture
• Carefully plan your SLD architecture
_________________________________
