Sapccm4x to monitor local segment

[Former Member]

Dear colleagues,

I have a development SAP ERP 60 EHP7 instance up and running. We would like the ST06 in the developemnt instance to report previous hours and history data. The only way to get this information is getting the CCMS agent installed. The operating system is HP-UX 11.31 so we should use sapccm4x. When I run sapccm4x -r pf=<path to profile> and enter all the info required I got the following error:

please enter password for [DEV:000:CSMREG]: *********

Try to connect ...

INFO: [DEV:000:CSMREG] connected to DEV, host saperpdefa, System Nr. 00, traceflag [ ]

INFO: DEV release is 740 , (kernel release 741 ), CCMS version 20060508

INFO: RFC logon info for [DEV:000:CSMREG] can be updated at any time with -R option:

         sapccm4x -R <params>

INFO: Updated saprfc.ini in agent work directory /usr/sap/DEV/DVEBMGS00/log/sapccm4x

ERROR: Monitoring segment belongs to central system DEV

       CCMS agent SAPCCM4X may only be run for remote segments

       that do not belong to central system DEV

       Therefore exiting....

I have installed this development instance for a customer and they want historical performance data. At the moment, they do not want to implement a CEN system to gather all the performance information for the SAP landscape. How should I do to get historical performance data for the development instance if I can not install the sapccm4x agent?.

I would appreciate your help.

Luis.

Hi,

Saposcol collects information on the 40 processes with the highest CPU load as well as other operating system data and displays a list sorted according to CPU load in transaction ST06 (OS07).

As of Saposcol version 20.75 (saposcol - version), it is possible to permanently collect information for certain processes, regardless of whether they are in the top 40 of the CPU list. However, to be able to use all of the functions, you have to install Saposcol Version 20.86 or higher.

A CCMS agent (sapccmsr or sapccm4x) is used to transfer the data collected by Saposcol to the CCMS monitor architecture (transaction RZ20) and display it under the 'Operating System' subtree ('Monitored Processes').

In this case, the CCMS agent also takes account of the Saposcol configuration files. Therefore, the configuration files (in addition to the name patterns) may still contain additional information that is relevant for the monitoring tree display (such as MTE classes, attribute groups and node names, for example).

Hello,

I just checked saposcol version and got this:

***********************************************************************

* This is Saposcol Version COLL 22.10 720 - V3.1.1 2014-02-07 HP-UX IA64

This saposcol version is newer than 20.86, but I can't get previous hours or history in st06. Also, have a look at the errors I get when saposcol is starting:
