2. SAPControl
Purpose
- With the SAP control connector, you can collect information available through the SAP management console for ABAP and JAVA stack systems:
- Running processes and services
- Active components
- Published server metrics and alerts
- This connector uses the SAPControl web services available on each instance
- One connector per monitored application server can be necessary
- To create connector, there are two steps:
- Create an OS user and register it in Pro.Monitor
- Create and set connector parameters
Create user profile
In Pro.Monitor
- User profiles can be reached via Systems→SAP users
- Create a new profile using the “Add” button
- Once created, the user profile can be selected in the connector form
- Note: A user profile is by default associated with a company . You can explicitly set a profile to be cross companies. The effect is that it will be selectable from connectors of any companies.
In SAP
- The corresponding user must be created in the server at OS level, and associated with the appropriate user group in order to have the authorization to execute the webservices
- You have basically two possibilities:
- Use an admin user ([SID]adm), to access to the SAPControl web services using authentication
- Unprotect some of the necessary methods so it can be accessed without authentication. This can be done in the SAP profile of the sapstartsrv using the service/protectedwebmethods argument.
- See Note 927637 for more information.
- Pro.Monitor will need to access the following methods:
- Mandatory:
- GetVersionInfo
- GetAlertTree
- GetAlerts
- J2EEGetComponentList
- J2EEGetProcessList
- GetProcessList
- GetSystemInstanceList
- Optional:
- GetEnvironment
- GetQueueStatistic
- GetInstanceProperties
- ListDeveloperTraces
- ListLogFiles
- ABAPReadSyslog
- ABAPReadRawSyslog
- ABAPGetWPTable
- J2EEGetThreadList
- J2EEGetSessionList
- J2EEGetCacheStatistic
- J2EEGetApplicationAliasList
- J2EEGetVMGCHistory
- J2EEGetVMHeapInfo
- ReadDeveloperTrace
- GetStartProfile
- GetTraceFile
Create connector
- Select the system in the Systems tree and select “Add connector” in its contextual menu, choose ABAP type.
- The default ABAP connector form will let you configure a connection to the message server.
- Host: the hostname or IP address of the ABAP message server
- System number: The system number of the application server, this will define connection ports: 5XX13 or 5XX14 if secure mode is on.
- User: The user profile to use for the connection. Leave empty if no authentication will be used.
- Force connection port: To use if the port of the service is different than 5XX13 or 5XX14
- Press Save & Test to save the profile and check the connection is working
