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• Enter Java instance in ST03G

CEN Setup – Entering Java Systems in ST03G

1. Start the Global Workload Monitor in CEN by calling 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

50

J2EE Engine:<Engine-Host>_<SysID>_<Engine-ID>Java Database Interface: <Engine-Host>_<Engine-SysID>_<Engine-ID>_JDBI

Comp. Type SAPJ2ENode or SAPJDBIMon. Sys. System ID of the primary system with which the agent is registeredMon. 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

• Perform the following steps:Configure and activate the System Landscape Directory (SLD)

Activate the Object ServerLoad the CIM modelStart the Data Supplier Bridge

Adjust the Central Monitoring System (CEN) For every instance of a J2EE Engine:

Register a CCMS Agent SAPCCMSRFor every ABAP instance:

Register a CCMS Agent SAPCCM4XRegister CCMSPING and assign the monitored systems

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

If 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• Spend time creating an architecture for your monitoring

systems

GOTCHA!

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• NWA will eventually replace Visual Administrator• Investigate the application monitors in your Java

applications
