4.1 Monitoring of Financial Closing cockpit Add-On
Proactive, automated monitoring is the basis for ensuring reliable operations for your SAP system
environment. SAP provides you with the infrastructure and recommendations needed to set up your
alert monitoring to recognize critical situations within your system landscape. The Financial Closing cockpit
Add-On is based on SAP NetWeaver technology, so you can use standard SAP NetWeaver monitoring
tools. This includes the Computing Center Management System (CCMS).
With the monitoring architecture of the CCMS, SAP provides an infrastructure with which you can
monitor your IT landscape centrally. The monitoring architecture is delivered with every SAP
NetWeaver Application Server. The architecture runs on every SAP NetWeaver Application Server and
can be extended to include additional SAP and non-SAP components. The concept of the monitoringarchitecture is to make all required information available in a central monitoring system, such as alerts
or log files.
For more information about the CCMS, see the Technical Operations Guide for SAP NetWeaver. You can
find the location of this Guide at the beginning of this chapter.
4.1.1 Trace and Log Files

5.6 Network and Communication Security
Your network infrastructure is extremely important in protecting your system. Your network needs
to support the communication necessary for your business needs without allowing unauthorized
access. A well-defined network topology can eliminate many security threats based on software flaws
(at both the operating system level and application level) or network attacks such as eavesdropping. If
users cannot log on to your application or database servers at the operating system or database layer,
then there is no way for intruders to compromise the machines and gain access to the backend system’s
database or files. Additionally, if users are not able to connect to the server LAN (local area network),
they cannot exploit well-known bugs and security holes in network services on the server machines.
The network topology for the Financial Closing cockpit Add-On is based on the topology used by the SAP
NetWeaver platform. Therefore, the security guidelines and recommendations described in the SAP
NetWeaver Security Guide also apply to the Financial Closing cockpit Add-On. Details that specifically apply
to the Financial Closing cockpit Add-On are described in the following topics:
■ Network Security [page 25]
This topic describes the recommended network topology for the Financial Closing cockpit Add-On. Itshows the appropriate network segments for the various client and server components and where
to use firewalls for access protection. It also includes a list of the ports needed to operate the Financial
Closing cockpit Add-On.
■ Communication Destinations [page 26]
This topic describes the information needed for the various communication paths, for example,
which users are used for which communications.
5.6.1 Network Security

6.1 Upgrading Across Systems
This section gives you information about how to copy templates created in the Closing Cockpit installed
in one system to SAP Financial Closing cockpit Add-On 2.0 installed in another system. The same logic
applies to how to copy templates created in SAP Financial Closing cockpit Add-On 1.0 installed in one
system to SAP Financial Closing cockpit Add-On 2.0 installed in another system.
When you export a template from the Closing Cockpit using the DOWNLOAD_TEMPLATE_FILE program, the
basic data of the template and the field values of the folders and tasks in the template are converted to
three comma separated values (CSV) files—a header file, an item file, and a document file. If a task in
the template contains a document, that document is saved to an attachment folder in the exportdirectory. If necessary, you can edit the CSV files to add or change folders, tasks, and documents. You
can then import the template into SAP Financial Closing cockpit Add-On 2.0.
Prerequisites
You have installed the DOWNLOAD_TEMPLATE_FILE program in the system where the Closing Cockpit is
installed. To install the program, apply SAP Note 1671050.
Procedure
Exporting Templates
1. Log on to the system where the Closing Cockpit is installed.
2. On the SAP Easy Access screen, enter transaction SE38.
3. Enter DOWNLOAD_TEMPLATE_FILE in the Program field and choose (Execute).
4. In the screen that appears, specify the template name, decimal notation, date format, time format,
