1.1.6 Extract the SAP system's log information and CCMS alert information
PFM - Agent for Enterprise Applications can output periodically to text files the following information about the SAP system:
-
This is a log (system log) for recording the events and errors that occur in the SAP system. A system log is created for each application server.
-
These are the warnings (alert information) that occur in the warning monitor of the computer center management system (CCMS) in the SAP system.
You can use a log file trapping function, such as the one provided by JP1/Base, to convert the information in a text file to JP1 events. By monitoring these JP1 events from JP1/IM, you can monitor the SAP system's operating status from JP1/IM.
For details about how to extract system log information for an SAP system, see Chapter 5. Extracting System Log Information. For details about how to extract CCMS alert information, see Chapter 6. Extracting CCMS Alert Information.
