The following two definition files are necessary to collect performance information from SAP NetWeaver:
To connect to a SAP NetWeaver system, the connection destination system definition file "saprfc.ini" must be set up correctly.
See
Refer to the SAP NetWeaver documentation for details on the format of saprfc.ini.
Definition method
The definition file is a text file. Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to create and edit this file. The path to the file is as follows:
[Windows]
<Variable file storage directory>\control\saprfc.ini |
[UNIX]
/etc/opt/FJSVssqc/saprfc.ini |
Format
DEST=destination TYPE=A ASHOST=hostname SYSNR=system-number |
Explanation
Defines the name of the connection destination system definition.
The name defined here is referred to as the "connection destination system definition name". This name must be used in conjunction with the DEST definition statement in the connection parameters definition file, which is explained in the next section.
Specifies the connection type. The type should always be specified as "A".
Note
The Type A parameter is used when designating a specific application server as a monitored object. If a different type is specified, the monitoring function will not operate correctly.
Defines the host name of the SAP NetWeaver application server that will be monitored. Specify a name defined in the hosts file as the host name.
Defines the system number of the SAP NetWeaver application server that will be monitored. The system number must be a two-digit integer between 00 and 99.
Definition example
The following is an example of a definition:
DEST=BIN_HS0011 TYPE=A ASHOST=HS0011 SYSNR=01 |
This definition file contains information such as the parameters that are needed for establishing a session with a SAP NetWeaver system.
Definition example
The definition file is a text file. Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to create and edit this file. The path to the file is as follows:
[Windows]
<Variable file storage directory >\control\sqcGetSAPalertmon.ini |
[UNIX]
/etc/opt/FJSVssqc/sqcGetSAPalertmon.ini |
Format
DEST=destination-name CLIENT=signon-data-client USER= signon-data-user PASSWORD= signon-data-password LANGUAGE= signon-data-language |
Explanation
Defines the name of the connection destination system definition.
Specify the name of the connection destination system definition defined in the DEST definition statement in the connection destination system definition file (saprfc.ini) explained in the previous section.
Note
Specify only one set of definitions following "DEST=". It is not possible to set up a definition for multiple application servers.
Defines the client number that will be used when connecting to a SAP NetWeaver system.
The client number is additional information that is defined when a user is registered.
Defines the user name that will be used when connecting to a SAP NetWeaver system.
The specified user must possess the privileges shown in the following table:
Privileged object name | Privileges | Details |
|---|---|---|
RFC access privilege check | S_RFC | Generic module groups require SYST, SXMI and SALX. |
External management tool privilege | S_XMI_PROD | Set the privilege information as follows:
|
Defines the user password that will be used when connecting to a SAP NetWeaver system. Specify the password encrypted by genpwd(*) corresponding to the USER definition statement.
(*) Refer to "A.6 genpwd (password encryption command)" for more information about how to use genpwd (password encryption command).
Defines the language of the log that is output when connecting to a SAP NetWeaver system. Any language that can be used when outputting a SAP NetWeaver system log can be specified here.
Typically Japanese, English or German is specified here. Specify "J" or "JA" for Japanese, "E" or "EN" for English and "D" or "DE" for German.
Definition example
The following is an example of a definition:
