ASE Database Status Test
Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) is a relational database management system (DBMS). Relational systems use the relationships between data to organize and retrieve information. This is represented by tables, where entries in a row share a relationship and the entries in a column share a different relationship. The information in these tables is further linked from one table to another using keys. Keys denote which columns in one table relate to the columns in another table. In this way, complex data relationships can be mapped and navigated by the DBMS.
If a user complaints of problems while accessing the database, the knowledge of the current state of that database will enable administrators to promptly diagnose the reason for such an occurrence. This test monitors all the databases running on SAP BTP Neo Environment and reports the current state of each database, thereby enabling administrators to easily troubleshoot issues related to database access.
Target of the test : A SAP BTP Neo Environment
Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each ASE Database in the target SAP BTP Neo Environment.
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. |
PortNo |
Enter the port to which the specified host listens. By default, this is 10002. |
Subaccount |
In SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit, one user account will have multiple subaccounts. So you can mention any one of the subaccount name in the Subaccount text box. To know how to determine the Subaccount, refer to Identifying the API Endpoint URL and Subaccount topic in Pre-requisites for Monitoring SAP BTP Neo Environment. |
Database names |
Specify a comma-separated list of ASE database names pattern that need to be included for monitoring, by default. To know how to determine the name of Databases, refer to Determining the Name of HANA/ASE Databases to be Monitored topic in Pre-requisites for Monitoring SAP BTP Neo Environment. |
User |
For collecting the metrics, specify the Username in the User text box. The Username here refers to the Client ID created in SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit. To know how to create such a user (Client ID) in SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit, refer to Registering the eG Agent as an API Client topic inPre-requisites for Monitoring SAP BTP Neo Environment. |
Password |
Specify the password in the Password text box. The Password here refers to the Client Secret created in SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit. To know how to create Password (Client Secret) in SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit, refer to refer to Registering the eG Agent as an API Client topic in Pre-requisites for Monitoring SAP BTP Neo Environment. |
Confirm Password |
Confirm the password by retyping it here in the Confirm Password text box. |
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:
