Hi Guys,

I am new on Unix platform. I am working as sap basis fresher on windows, Please help me with documents needed in sap basis monitoring on Unix platform.

Awadhesh,

The very basic pilar for OS proactive monitoring with CCMS lies with RZ20 transaction.
Once there, go to:

--> CCMS Monitor Templates;
----> Operating system;

Here you'll find several nodes monitoring several aspects of the SAP system host.
In order to start the proactive monitoring you need to set the thresholds accordingly and assign auto reactions methods (e.g. sending emails) for when those marks are crossed. With this, you can receive information about issues that, in the long term can cause outage in your system.

Then you act on that and resolve the problem even before it happens.

Cheers,
Ian.

Hello Awadhesh,

There are some trasactions like : RZ20 , ST06, ST03 for monitoring the complete system.

To get OS statistics you can use ST03N
For performance data there are ST06 or OS07N and RZ20, more informatin in SAP notes and online dokumentation:
#371023 - OS07/ST06: Monitoring operating system data

#1084019 - OS07N: New operating system monitor

#522453 - RZ20: Monitoring operating system data

Hi Deepak,

I m asking about OS level monitoring of sap in UNIX.

[former_member188883]

Hi Awadesh,

1) For OS level monitoring we normally check

a) CPU utilization : Which can also be found in ST06 in SAPGUI

b) MEmory utilization : Which can also be found in ST06 in SAPGUI

on Unix you need to have top utility installed to monitor CPU and RAM in similar format like you see under windows task manager.

Once the utility is installed you simply run top to view the results.

2) To check SAP running process you may use below command

     a) dpmon pf=<path of instance profile>

     b) ps -eaf | grep sidadm ( to check all the processes running under sidadm)

     c) ps -eaf | grep ora ( to check all the oracle running processes)

     d) ps -eaf | grep SID ( to check all the processes running for SID)

3) kill -9 <processid> is being used to kill any zombie process on Unix

4) R3trans -d is using to check connectivity of SAP application with database

5) sar : command to check system utilization

6) vmstat : command to check virtual memory utilization

7) vi : editor to modify files in unix

😎 cp: command to copy files

9) rm: delete files on Unix

10) mv:rename files on Unix.

Above are most commonly used commands. Based on your actual requirement list may vary.

Hope this helps.
