Setup of NWA for Landscape-Wide Use

The following steps must be performed:Configure and Activate the System Landscape Directory (SLD)– Activate the Object Server– Load the CIM model– Start the Data Supplier Bridge

Adjust the Central Monitoring System (CEN) – For each instance of a J2EE Engine: Register a CCMS Agent SAPCCMSR– For each ABAP instance: Register a CCMS Agent SAPCCM4X– Register CCMSPING and assign the monitored systems

Setup of the NWA connections– CIM Client generation setting– JCo RFC connection setting– JMX monitored system account details

All of these steps can be performed by the Template Installer(available as of SAP NetWeaver 2004 SPS 15, SAP NetWeaver 2004s SPS 06)

For details, see the SAP Tutor Setting up the SAP NetWeaver Administrator.

Overview of Template Steps

Overview


Administration: Managing Selected Systems


Administration: Manage Applications

With the NWA you can start and stop applications of the selected Java systems as well as display their status, their modules, resources, and references.

An advanced search option is also available that helps you to apply more sophisticated filtering criteria when searching for deployed applications.


Administration: Identity Management


Administration: Pre-defined Roles for NWA

The NWA users can be assigned four different roles:SAPJAVA_NWADMIN_CENTRALSAPJAVA_NWADMIN_CENTRAL_READONLYSAPJAVA_NWADMIN_LOCALSAPJAVA_NWADMIN_LOCAL_READONLY

TIP: It is possible to slice and dice these four standard roles to create custom roles. (For example: New role only with Local Logs and Trace monitoring capability)

Monitoring: Java System Reports

Performance reports for Java systems are created with the use of the (JMX) status monitoring data and the Java application response time measurement (JARM) data.

The reports help to do capacity planning, to check the resource consumption over time and to scrutinize the applications’ activity.
