RZ20 Monitoring of MaxDB

[nelis]

Hi,

On some of my newer system eg Solution Manager with SPS 15 I have the ability to monitor MaxDB in RZ20 for various things but in our "not yet updated" systems running ERP 6.0 SPS 10 I only get an option under Database for "SAP DB" which is inactive. It seems that these slightly older systems have a problem with the method definition used in data collection for MaxDB. I have tried to assign the methods the same as they are assigned to my updated Solution Manager system but it doesn't allow me to assign a method for data collection(only analyze) for some reason.

What requirements are there to get MaxDB monitoring correctly in RZ20 ?

Many thanks.

Nelis

ps. Monitoring is turned on in DB59 and connection made!

Sounds like you are not running background monitoring - have a look at point III of note 545030

Why running MaxDB(64bit) 7.6.03.014 in systems not working? What is not working?

What the problems/database errors did you get to run the database version 7.6.03.014 in your systems?

Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

Sorry that info was a bit misleading. I was referring to the version of MaxDB that was not working as far as the monitoring with RZ20 is concerned, everything else is working fine.

I'll report back once I have had a chance to review the notes you have referred me too.

Many thanks.

My problem was related to the background job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP not running as Graham indicated. Thanks also to Natalia for the useful information.
