Introduction

Computing Center Management System (CCMS) to monitor, control, and configure your SAP
System.
The CCMS tools support unattended system administration functions around the clock within the
SAP System. You can use this tool to analyze and distribute the workload of clients and to
display the resource usage of system components.For the Project we have to implement an
CCMS Infrastructure.
In order of this we have to configure central functions in the SAP Solution Manager.
Here we describe the installation and registration of satellites sap systems to Solution Manager
Production environment. There are several different cases for the CCMS Agent installation
possible. So we describe the general activities for all scenarios at first. Then we describe the
specific activities for the several scenarios.
In order of the technical Blueprint we describe all activities for Operation System AIX.
Here we configure the first set of ABAP systems to the CEN (Solution Manager Production
System).

2.
General activities in the SAP
System for all scenarios
Some general activities have to be fulfilled for all possibilities for registration.

2.1

Activate Background Dispatching

Login to Satellite System.

Run RZ 21 Technical Infrastructure Local Method Execution Activate background

dispatching
Control :
Please check if the job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP is scheduled ( transaction sm37)

2.2

Create User CSMREG

Create the user CSMREG if not created in Satellite Systems.

Run RZ 21 Technical Infrastructure Configure Central System Create CSMREG User
Please enter the password of the user CSMREG.
The user CSMREG needs only the following authorization role, no more authorizations needed:
SAP_BC_CSMREG
Please copy this SAP_Role for security reason to a Customer Role.
The password for CSMREG user is available.

2.3

Needed Jobs

Check in SM37 if the following jobs are scheduled:

SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_PERFMONITOR
Systems

For CEN System and all ABAP

SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_NON_R3_STAT
Stack systems

For CEN Systems and all Double

If the Job is not scheduled you can schedule it via SM36 -> Standard Jobs

2.4

Create RFC Destination

RFC Should be created from Solution Manager System.

2.4.1

Create RFC Destination for ABAP System

Important: All the monitored systems and services must be in the files hosts and services,
otherwise you will receive the following error:

RZ21 Technical Infrastructure Configure Central System Create remote monitoring entry
-

Choose Component Type to Be Monitored

Configuration Expert mode Change to Create only RFC Connection to System

Change to Create only RFC Connection to System

In the following screen you have to enter the needed data in following fields:
System ID, Message Server and Password
Generate the RFC Destinations using the button
Save the configuration using the SAVE button
The following RFC Connection are created.
In SM59 two RFC are created with format
<Sat.SID>_RZ20_ANALYZE and <Sat.SID>_RZ20_COLLECT

2.4.2

Create RFC Destination for ABAP + JAVA System

Important: All the monitored systems and services must be in the files hosts and services
file
Follow the above steps in Solution Manager System and choose the Component Type to Be
Monitored as per the system.

3.
Registration of CCMS Agent on
OS Level
We work with User sid<adm> on OS Level.

All relevant files are stored in the following folder :

Check the files in the above path.
Open the csmconf file and check the CEN system.

Check whether the csmconf file is generated from Solution Manager Production.
Make sure not to edit or corrupt the configuration file.
Copy the csmconf file to the desired location as described in the next section.
The relevant CCMS agent have to be downloaded by your own from the SAP Marketplace.
The CSMCONF file will be stored in the SAP Solution Manager.

3.1

ABAP System

We need SAPCCM4X Agent.

3.1.1. Check specification of System ( Unicode / Non Unicode )

Here you see an Non-Unicode System.

3.1.2. Copy File csmconf and sapccm4x to target folder

Copy the CSMCONF start file to the following directory:
UNIX:

/usr/sap/ccms/<SysID>/<inst.dir.>/log/sapccm4x
or
/usr/sap/ccms/<inst.dir.>/sapccmsr

If the folders are not present it should be created.

Depending on the platform and the release of the instance the executable
SAPCCM4X is located in the following directory:
Plattform

Release

Directory

Unix

NW04

/usr/sap/<SysID>/SYS/exe/run

upgraded to
NW 2004s

NW 2004s

/usr/sap/<SysID>/SYS/exe/
<uc|nuc>/<platform>

<uc|nuc> stands for Unicode or non-Unicode, respectively.

3.1.3. Registration of CCMS agent sapccm4x to CEN System

In the directory of the executable, enter the command
sapccm4x -R pf=<profile path>.
<profile path> specifies the start profile of the monitored instance.
By default, this is:
UNIX: /usr/sap/<SysID>/SYS/profile/<SysID><Name instance directory><Host>
During the registration(incorporate), the system displays specifications from the CSMCONF
file to you again for confirmation. Confirm the specification by pressing the
ENTER key in each case. You only need to enter two parameters yourself:

The password for the administration user in CEN, under which you created the
CSMCONF file

The password for the CSMREG user

Password for User ccms_adm in Solution Manager would be mailed to you on request.

3.1.4. Automatically start of ccms agent

Under UNIX, you must ensure yourself that SAPCCM4X is automatically started again when the
host is restarted. To do this, enter the following command in the inittab (/etc/inittab):
/usr/sap/<SysID>/SYS/exe/run/sapccm4x -DCCMS pf=<profile path>

/usr/sap/<SysID>/SYS/exe/run/sapccmsr -DCCMS pf=<profile path>

3.1.5. Checking in CEN the ccms agent registration

To check whether the agent was successfully registered with CEN, call transaction RZ21 in
CEN, select the radio button Agents for Remote Systems, and choose the Display Overview
button. The agent that you have just registered appears in the list in the row SAPCCM4X.<host
name>.<inst. no.>.
