Motivation: Why Do We Need SAP NetWeaver Administrator?

Multiple J2EE and ABAP systems to monitor

Need to log into different “Visual Admin” to manage various J2EE systems

No centralized tool available

No Web-based zero footprint tool available to administer the entire landscape

© SAP AG 2006, 7

SAP NetWeaver Administrator is the new central administration and monitoring tool for your SAP NetWeaver system landscape

SAP NetWeaver Administrator is a Java application

Availability: It is part of the shipment of SAP NetWeaver ’04 SP 12

NWA: The Entry Page

The NWA can be used as an administration tool for the whole SAP NetWeaver system landscape, as well as for local system administration

For the central use, a setup has to be performed, including configuration of the System Landscape Directory, central monitoring, and connections from the remote systems to the central monitoring system and NWA

Administration: System Selection

Defining Landscape Subsets

Define Subsets in the SLDPrerequisite: You have a user assigned to the LcrInstanceWriterLD role (contained in role Administrator)

Define Selections in the NWAIn the NWA, you can define system sets that are saved for your user under a name you specify. Click on “Define System Selection”All Technical Systems. Select systems holding the Strg. button and enter a name for your selection.

© SAP AG 2006, 17

Administration: Manage the Selected Systems

Choose System Management →Administration.

From the detailed navigation on the left, select Systems. A list of the instances you selected when defining your system selection will appear in a tree view.

Expand the tree of a selected system and choose the blue square next to the instance name to administer this instance.

When an instance is selected, the Start, Stop, and Restart options on the top are activated. Use them to start, stop, or restart the whole instance at once. A Details pane will also appear below the SAP Systems pane, where you can see the details of the selected instance, and manage the separate J2EE processes and services.

© SAP AG 2006, 18

Administration: Manage Applications

With the NWA you can start and stop applications of the selectedJava systems as well as display their status, their modules, resources, and references

An advanced search option is also available, which helps you to apply more sophisticated filtering criteria when searching for deployed applications

© SAP AG 2006, 19

Administration: User Management

User Management Engine (UME) is a plug-in within the SAP NetWeaver Administrator

For use of the NWA, the user can be assigned four different roles:SAPJAVA_NWADMIN_CENTRALSAPJAVA_NWADMIN_CENTRAL_READONLYSAPJAVA_NWADMIN_LOCALSAPJAVA_NWADMIN_LOCAL_READONLY

TIP: It is possible to slice and dice these four standard roles to create custom roles. (For example: New role only with Local Logs and Trace monitoring capability)

All systems that are monitored in the Central Monitoring System (CEN) can be observed by an availability check. This check is realized by the agent CCMSPING, which calls the message servers of the monitored systems and sends availability data to the CEN every minute.

In the NWA, a dashboard with the overall availability data is displayed

With the “Mark” option, you can select and combine monitors from different Setsand Views in one screen. This is a temporary combination. For permanent view customizing, use the CCMS alert monitor functionality.

You can display all alerts of a monitor element that are not yet closed. To delete an alert after having fixed the problem, click “Complete Alerts.”

Like in CCMS, you can display Current Data, Alerts, Customizing Data, Methods, and the Thresholds for the monitor elements

Monitoring: Java Performance Reports

Performance reports for Java systems are created with the use of the (JMX) status monitoring data and the Java Application Response Time Measurement (JARM) data

The reports help to do capacity planning, to check the resource consumption over time, and to scrutinize the applications’ activity

© SAP AG 2006, 27

Monitoring: Create New Java System Reports

You can define Java System Reports and charts out of all available counters, such as performance counters from the monitoring tree, JARM requests, and application components

© SAP AG 2006, 28

Monitoring: Logs and Traces

Viewing the Log Files can be done in a generic view in the Monitoring Work Center, e.g., the Alert View gives a good overview of problems that have occurred

Filtering functionality helps you to easily find the log entries in question

© SAP AG 2006, 29

Monitoring: Related Area Navigation

With the related tasks navigation,you can open other areas with pre-set filters, e.g., open the log viewer with filter for the selected application

3. Setup of the Connections for NWA

For central monitoring and administration with the NWA, you have to go through some steps in the Visual Administrator of the Central Monitoring System

You need a direct connection to SLD with the corresponding permissions (login) (“CIM Client generation settings”) A connection from the Java part of the central system to the ABAP part has to be established. This is a JCo RFC connection with the naming convention SAP.CCMS.CEN.<SID>. Without this connection, the monitors of CEN are not displayed in the NWA.You may store the login data to all monitored Java systems in the Java part of the central system. If you don’t do this, you have to enter user/password each time you want to display data from the connected systems.

© SAP AG 2006, 44

3a. This Error Message for the SLD Server …

… comes up if the CIM Client Generation Settings are not entered in the Visual Administrator of the NWA system

The CIM Client is needed by the NWA to access the SLD

sap.com/tc~lm~webadmin~mainframe~wd/webdynpro/public/lib/app.jarsap.com/tc~lm~webadmin~sld~wd/webdynpro/public/lib/app.jar

In the Visual Administrator of the NWA, go to service SLD Data Supplier, and open the CIM Client Generation Settings tab. Select the named jars and enter the connection parameters for the SLD.

3b. This Error Message for the Central Monitoring …

An error message comes up if the rfc destination SAP.CCMS.CEN.<SID> has not been set up

© SAP AG 2006, 47

3b. Create JCo RFC Destination in the NWA System

In the JCo RFC Provider Service of the NWA system, create the rfc destination SAP.CCMS.CEN.<SID> pointing to the CEN gateway host

© SAP AG 2006, 48

3c. This Error Message for the JMX Connection …

This error message comes up if the login to the monitored system is not stored in the NWA system

© SAP AG 2006, 49

3c. Enter Connecting Data for Administered Systems

The name is: sap.com/tc~je~jmx~wsconnector~sp/<SID>/<host>The URL is: http://<host>:<port>/WSConnector/Config1?style=document

In the Central Monitoring System, the http connections and authentication parameters for all administered Java systems can be stored

© SAP AG 2006, 50

Ready!

Now the NetWeaver Administrator is set up for system landscape-wide monitoring and administration

You can start it with: http://<host>:<port?/nwa

Log in with a user with central administration permissions to have the whole functionality
