Third Party Monitoring using Solution Manager

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Can anyone share any information on the options available for the Monitoring of Third Party systems like a standalone SQL Server using Solution Manager.

We can consider this for the case of using Solution Manager 7.0 Ehp1.

We have searched a lot on that but we have either got little information/no information.

Has anyone been able to implement the monitoring in Solution Manager for any other third party systems?

If yes, please share that information which shall also be useful for us.

Thanks.

Hello,

For SAP systems, Databases can be monitored, such as MS SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, etc with either DBCOCKPIT or CEN, both do the monitoring of alerts that come from SAPu2019s Computing Center Management System (CCMS) are set up and activated by default. SAP provides CCMS agents for ABAP and NON-ABAP systems for different OS.

For Third-Party systems you have to be able to set up the interface to feed monitoring information from your non-SAP software to SAP's CCMS infrastructure. It is the responsibility of the 3rd party to provide this agent/ interface feed.

If they have not provided this then Solution Manager has no mechanism to monitor a Standalone database that is not part of an SAP system.

You can get more information on CCMS agents via the website at http://service.sap.com/monitoring.

Go to "system Monitoring and Alert Management" > "Monitoring in Detail".

I hope this answers your question.

Regards,

Paul

Hi Murali Narayanan

If you wan to achieve monitoring from technical perspective, the way that was introduced by shivjansi might be the option.

If you want to check the entry of specific table in stand alone MSSQL to ensure the business process that use MSSQL

stand alone DB, you can use BPMon remote DB monitoring that enables monitoring of non ABAP/ non SAP that supported

by netweaver like MSSQL, Oracle, DB2.

By using this function, you can monitor the entry of your stand alone SQL server.

For example, stand alone SQL Server has some table that contains some error,

or there is application table and in one row that it indicates error or completeness.

Now if you want to check these error document or incomplete document in the DB,

you can use BPMon remote DB monitor.

By monitoring this, you can ensure whether there is issue in your business or not.

You can find out how to setup from following link.

http://service.sap.com/bpm

->technical detail ->Setup Guide for non-ABAP/non-SAP

P14 (The monitoring object u201CGeneric Table Entry Counter for remote DBu201D (NATABCNX) )

is related description.

(In the document, it also introduce some other way using web service).

Also in same link, you can find out other document like how to setup BPMon.

Also there is some blog about table entry counter. it is for SAP ABAP system.

But the function is more or less same for remote DB.

So you can also check following blog to have more understandable image.
