SAP System Status Test
For each instance of the SAP ABAP system being monitored, this test reports the current status. Using this test, administrators can figure out the error-prone instances and the instances that were offline with ease. This may help them troubleshoot the issues before end users start complaining about the unavailability of the instances.
Target of the test : A SAP ABAP System
Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Instance type: Instance name of the target SAP ABAP System being monitored.
Parameter | Description |
Test Period |
How often should the test be executed |
Host |
Host name of the server for which the test is to be configured. |
Port |
Enter the port to which the specified host listens. |
Central WSDL Port |
By default, this test uses the SAPControl web service for collecting measures. In this text box, specify the port number of the SAPControl web service. To determine the exact port number of the SAPControl web service, you can look up the etc/services file on the SAP ABAP system being monitored. If the port number is not declared in the etc/services file, you can specify the default port number of the web service against WSDL Port If the web service is not SSL-enabled, then the default port number of the web service will be: 5<NR>13. Similarly, if the web service is SSL-enabled, then the default port number of the web service will be: 5<NR>14. <NR> in the port number refers to the system number of the SAP server being monitored. The system number is an indicator of the TCP/IP port at which the SAP server listens. For example, for a server that listens at port 3200, the system number will be ‘00’. Similarly, if the SAP server port is 3201, the system number will have to be specified as ‘01’. Accordingly, the default port number of an SSL-enabled SAPControl web service will be 50014 , if the system number is 00, or 50114, if the system number is 01. |
OS Username and |
To enable the test to access the SAPControl web service and determine process state, you need to configure the OS Username and OS Password parameters of the test with the credentials (i.e., name and password) of an OS user, who fulfills one of the following conditions:
|
Confirm Password |
Confirm the OS password by retyping it here. |
SSL |
Set this flag to Yes, if the SAPControl web service is SSL-enabled. Set this flag to No, if the SAPControl web service is not SSL-enabled. |
DD Frequency |
Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD Frequency. |
Detailed Diagnosis |
To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:
