Technical Monitoring - message server process

[Private_Member_19084]

Hi experts,

I have two ABAP systems, on which the msg_server is running on an separate SCS Instance.

But how can I configure the technical monitoring, that it checks the SCS-msg_server and not they one from ABAP-SID.

At the moment I have the problem, that I get an alert, because the msg_server process is not found.

And this is, because msg_server process is running on an separate instance.

My question is now, do I have to add also this SCS instances to technical monitoring or is there a away, to check the SCS-message server of a depending system.

Thank you

Hi Christian,

Did you register the ABAP Central Service Instance (ASCS) in SLD by following the instructions from SAP note 1419603?

Kind regards,

Hi Christian

Technical Monitoring is based on a technical system definition which comes from LMDB so Roland's suggestion is a good suggestion, the system definition in LMDB is important and normally the data is synchronized from SLD to LMDB.

You can have a look at what you have in there at this moment by navigating to transaction LMDB - Technical System - enter your SID in the input box and click Edit (or Display of course)

Under Technical Instances (expand tree on the left), you should find a tab Message Servers in the right pane which states which message server is used by this Technical Instance. Check if the correct Message Server is defined there.

Hi Tom,

this sounds good.

I have the following entry:

ABAP Message Server

host = <servername>

message-port = 3601

servicename = sapms<SID>

HTTP-Ports

HTTP-PORT = ms/server_port_0

url = http://<servername>:8101

For your information. 01 is the SID-Number of the SCS (so I think this is correct).

And 02 would be the SID-Number of the Instance, on which the msg-server-check fails.

Any ideas?

How can I check, which settings I need here in?

fyi, there is also a frame called "Central Instance" which is empty.

Do I have to enter the SCS-Instance here?

"But how can I configure the technical monitoring, that it checks the SCS-msg_server and not they one from ABAP-SID."

Your configuration there should reflect what you want to achieve I assume.

You can use transaction SMMS in ABAP to display the properties of the message server(s)

Hi Christian

Yes, I believe that is indeed meant for ASCS.

The thing is, the suggestion of Roland could potentially automatically do this for you. The best method is always push to SLD and let SLD synchronize to LMDB.

I haven't been in your situation just yet for Techical Monitoring so I don't know if it will work properly automatically I sure do hope so.

Hi Tom,

yes, but where do I have maintain this in SLD or in <SID>-Instance?

Is it sent via RZ70?

If so, what do I have to configure.

Kind regards

Hi Christian

Did you check out the suggestion of Roland to register it in SLD?

Hi Tom,

I forgot that entry.

Now I am working on this.

But I don't have the sldreg file in ..../SYS/global.

How do I get this?

And would it be a big problem/deficit if I enter the SCS directly in LMDB?

Thx

Hi Christian

"And would it be a big problem/deficit if I enter the SCS directly in LMDB?"

No but it's not best practice

For test purposes, I would definitely go ahead and fill it in manually just to check if you can then set up Technical Monitoring to reflect the change.

Check your CI for the SLDREG executable or otherwise you can download it from SAP Service Marketplace /swdc ~search for SLDREG

Hi Tom,

I've updated the LMDB now manually and it works fine.

Thank you very much for your help.

I will also try to update SLD, but first I have to check the reason for the missing sldreg file.

Kind regards

Hi Christian

Glad it worked out!
