Thanks for the reply.

But what are the best practices to monitor SAP application. (example could be monitoring database not going above % value .or we should monitor some particular servers or services..etc) .

I will use term daily monitoring, which includes

ST04 ---> Database Monitoring, look for Data buffer quality, Shared pool quality.

ST02 > Instance SAP Memory Stats> make sure there are no RED Values in this monitor. Increase the values of those parameters accordingly.

ST06n--> User utilization indicates SAP's util, idle util must be > 80%

St03n--> Work load Overview, look for Time spent on CPU and DB, and Response times, low values indicate better performance.

Thanks

78,

Within your SAP software installation DVDs exists an 'operations guide' specific for that software. Providing you have rights to the software, you can also download these operations guides in service.sap.com/swdc These guides give SAP's recommendations on monitoring.

Below an example for Solution manager 7.1

Many more similar docs exist, just search in Service.sap.com/support
