SAP Server Monitors

 

SAP monitor allows you to monitor the availability and performance of SAP environment from a centralized web console. SAP monitor takes advantage of the SAP CCMS (Computer Center Management System) architecture to give insightful information about the SAP system along with fault management and reporting capabilities.

 

Availability tab, gives the Availability history for the past 24 hours or 30 days. Performance tab gives the Health Status and events for the past 24 hours or 30 days. List view enables you to perform bulk admin configurations.

SAP RFC Monitoring

Remote Function Call (RFC) is the standard SAP interface for communication between SAP systems. The RFC calls a function to be executed in a remote system. Applications Manager monitors metrics pertaining to Queued RFCs (qRFC) and Transactional RFC (tRFC) like:

 

Parameter Description
QOUT Scheduler (SMQS)
Client The Logon Client.
State

The status of the Scheduler at the moment when SMQS is executed. Possible states are: SYSFAIL, CPICERR, INACTIVE, WAITING, WAITCONN, STARTING, ACTIVE.


Time The time of last update.
Group The group to which this scheduler belongs.
Host The host in which this scheduler is running.
QIN Scheduler (SMQR)
Client The Logon Client.
State

The status of the Scheduler. Possible states are: SYSFAIL, CPICERR, INACTIVE, RESOURCE LACK, WAITING, BATCH , ACTIVE,STARTING.


Time The time of last update.
Group The group to which this scheduler belongs.
Host The host in which this scheduler is running.
QOUT Data (SMQ1)
Client The Logon Client.
Queue Name The name of the queue.
Destination The target destination of the queue.
State

The current state of the queue. Possible states are: SYSFAIL, CPICERR, STOP, SYSLOAD, VBERROR, READY, RUNNING, NOSEND, NOSENDS, WAITING, WAITSTOP, WAITUPDA, RETRY, ARETRY, ANORETRY, MODIFY, EXECUTED, AFINISH, FINISH.


Message The message while executing the queue.
Time The time of last update.
QIN Data (SMQ2)
Client The logon Client.
Queue Name The name of the queue.
State The current state of the queue. Possible States are:SYSFAIL, CPICERR, STOP, READY, RUNNING, WAITING, WAITSTOP, RETRY, ARETRY, ANORETRY, MODIFY, EXECUTED, NOEXEC, AFINISH, FINISH, SAVED.


Message The message while executing the queue.
Time The time of last update.
Transactional RFC (SM58)
Transactional ID The identifier of the Transaction.
Functional Name The name of the function that executed for transaction.
Destination The target destination where this function is executed.
Caller The user who called this transaction.
State The state of the transaction. Possible States are : CPICERR, SYSFAIL, CONFAIL, RECORDED, VBERROR, SYSLOAD, RETRY, ARETRY, ANORETRY, EXECUTED, MAILED, READ, VBRECORD, SENDED, DEBUG, VXRECORD


Message The message while executing the transaction.
Time The time of last update.
Tcode The Tcode from where this transaction is called.

Note:

 

Data Retention: For Transactional RFC, only 2 hours of RAW data will be retained. After two hours the collected RAW data available in Applications Manager database will be deleted. This is because of the HUGE volume of transaction data available in SAP system. Applications Manager database will not scale the huge volume of transaction data.

 

Data Archiving: Data archiving of transaction data will not happen due to the following reasons.

  • The RAW data is deleted after two hours.
  • Archiving huge volume of transaction data is not a scalable option.

The alert history will be available but no reporting is possible for Transactional RFC.
