Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management - Agent Option for Enterprise Applications Description, User's Guide and Reference

6.1 Overview of the CCMS alert information extraction function

You can use PFM - Agent for Enterprise Applications to output periodically to text files the warning (alert information) that occurs on Alert Monitor in the computer center management system (CCMS). The CCMS alert information extraction function provided by PFM - Agent for Enterprise Applications can output the following CCMS alert information to a text file:

• Alert ID
• ID of MTE associated with the alert
• Severity level of the alert
• General properties
• Message

By linking other programs, you can use the CCMS alert information in a text file to monitor for error information in the SAP system. This section presents an example of error monitoring by linking to JP1/Base and JP1/IM - View.

The log file trapping function of JP1/Base enables you to convert CCMS alert information to JP1 events. By monitoring these JP1 events from JP1/IM - View, you can monitor error information in the SAP system from JP1/IM - View.

The following figure shows an example of monitoring an SAP system for errors by linking PFM - Agent for Enterprise Applications with JP1/Base and JP1/IM - View.

Note

The text file to which PFM - Agent for Enterprise Applications outputs CCMS alert information is in wraparound format. This means that data is overwritten when the capacity reaches a specified value. There is a header line of management information at the beginning of the file. If you use JP1/Base's log file trapping function to monitor this file, specify the following parameters in the log file trap definition file:

FILETYPE=WRAP1
HEADLINE=1
