Alerts in XI and CCMS

[former_member183909]

I've read some SAP doco talking about a CCMS Central Monitoring System (CEN).

Does that mean having CCMS on it's own Server - and CCMS is monitoring all DEV, QAS and PRD systems.

What is the usual way if you have R/3, BW, XI. Which box should have CCMS on it ? Or should it have it's own instance seperated from the rest of them ??

Yes

Better would be to have it on a separate server. It should be reserved only for monitoring and system management. Most important is that it should never be installed on any production server.

Hi,

There will be a separate instance of CCMS installed which will do the central administartion for all the components in a landscape. It can be handled by one single administrator....can have many assistants. No need of having a separate instance of CCMS for R3, XI/ PI, etc...the only thing that you need to take of is how to integrate your system with CCMS for monitoring.

The CCMS alert monitoring infrastructure is provided by SAP free of cost.

Also there is one good SAP article named "CCMS Integration With XI".
