The Computing Center Management System (CCMS) has an alert monitor that supports in monitoring and operating SAP systems.

Process Chain monitoring in BWCCMS (introduction)


CCMS provides a consolidated log view of all the process chains in the system. It gives clear picture of whether process chain is in progress, successful or failed by indicating the chain in Yellow, Green and Red colors respectively. By default CCMS agent for process chain is scheduled to run after every 1 hour. It uses job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP to collect all the logs from the system. We can easily change the scheduling in transaction SM37 as per requirements and size of the environment. Monitoring Process Chains in CCMS (Key points to note) The Process Chains monitoring tree contains all of the process chains that have run since the BI system was last started. By setting the transfer parameter for method execution DAYS_TO_KEEP_LOGS in the method definition RSPC_CCMS_STARTUP, the process chain runs can be specified that needs to be displayed from those that ended before the BI system was last started. By default, this parameter is set at seven days. This means that the process chain runs from the last seven days are displayed. You get the method definition through transaction RZ21 -> Methods -> Definitions. By double-clicking on the Process Chains monitoring tree, you can jump to process chain maintenance. In the Process Chains monitoring tree, process chains that have run since the last start of the BI system are displayed as monitor objects, as well as those that were defined in transaction RZ21. The nodes show the technical name of the process chain. By double-clicking on a process chain, you jump to the maintenance for that chain.

Other Transactions that can be monitored DB02: This transaction keeps the log of the system space management, Performance, Backup and Health of the system RSRV (Consistency checks in the analysis and repair environment): It is one of the most essential transaction to check the consistency of all the BI objects like Cube, DSO, Hierarchies, PSA tables, BEx objects, Documents, aggregates, DTP, BIA, Cache, Transaction data, Master data etc. CCMS provides the consolidated view of consistency of all of the above mentioned objects. Transactional RFC and Queued RFC: CCMS also proves to be beneficial to monitor SM58 (Transactional RFC), SMQ1 (Outbound queue), SMQ2 (Inbound queue).It provides details of the calls that failed due to the communication errors, execution errors or lacking server resources. SM37 & SM51 (Background Processing): CCMS is also useful to monitor the background jobs in the system. It provides all the details of which job got aborted on which server. ALE Idocs Monitoring (BDMO): As shown below CCMS also provides the facility to monitor status of Outbound and Inbound ALE Idocs of the system.
