    3 Monitoring of SAP BusinessObjectsGlobal Trade Services

    Within the management of SAP Technology, monitoring is an essential task. A section has thereforebeen devoted solely to this subject.The aim of this section is to provide information and documentation to monitor SAP BusinessObjectsGlobal Trade Service 10.0, for example by utilizing the Computing Center Management System (CCMS)and create a user-defined monitor set reflecting a customer-specific system landscape for SAPBusinessObjects Global Trade Services. For more information about the underlying technology, seethe SAP NetWeaver Administrators Guide - Technical Operations Manual, particularly the section onMonitoring, in SAP Library at http://help.sap.com/nw70 System Administration Technical OperationsManual .As SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service 10.0 is powered by SAP NetWeaver 7.0 includingEnhancement Package 22, we recommend that you set up the monitoring infrastructure as describedin the Monitoring Setup Guide for SAP NetWeaver at service.sap.com/operationsnw70

    Monitoring.

    The monitoring setup described in the Monitoring Setup Guide (MSG) for SAP NetWeaver is thefoundation for the following sections and contains all the information relevant to monitor the SAPNetWeaver components used in SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service 10.0. Proficient knowledgein system monitoring and basic knowledge in SAP NetWeaver is required to set up and manage user-defined monitors recommended within this guide.

    NOTE

    To build the necessary skills in system monitoring, we recommend the SAP courses and e-learningon that topic. For more information, see the information available on SAP Service Marketplace

    at service.sap.com/monitoring System Monitoring and Alert ManagementEducation &Workshops

    Monitoring of SAP NetWeaver is an essential task within the management of SAP solutions, includingContent Lifecycle Management (CLM). The aim of this section is to provide information anddocumentation to monitor CLM, for example by utilizing the Computing Center Management System(CCMS) and NetWeaver ABAP monitoring tools.

    RECOMMENDATION

    Since Content Lifecycle Management is powered by SAP NetWeaver 7.02 and higher, werecommend that you set up the monitoring infrastructure as described in the Monitoring Setup

    Guide for SAP NetWeaver on SAP Service Marketplace athttp://service.sap.com/instguides.

    By default, CCMS monitoring capabilities are restricted to the local system and as CLM involvesinteractions with more than one system in a typical landscape, it could be beneficial to monitor othersystems through CCMS from central CLM system.In this case, CLM, as the central monitoring system, can be configured to link CCMS monitoring fromapplication systems. Since currently CLM only communicates with ABAP-based systems, RFCconnection type can be used to enable monitoring across multiple systems. For more information aboutconfiguring the central monitoring system, see SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com SAP

    NetWeaver .

    3.1 Alert Monitoring with CCMS

    Proactive, automated monitoring is the basis for ensuring reliable operations for your SAP systemenvironment. SAP provides you with the infrastructure and recommendations needed to set up youralert monitoring in CCMS to recognize critical situations for SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Servicesas quickly as possible. For more information, see the Monitoring Setup Guide for SAP NetWeaver at

    http://service.sap.com/operationsnw70Monitoring.To configure alert monitoring with CCMS for SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service 10.0, you must

    set up a Central Monitoring System (CEN) and connect the components for SAP BusinessObjects GlobalTrade Serviceto this CEN system. For a list of these components and the business scenarios for whichthey are relevant, see the section forScenario/Component Matrix in this guide.Since SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service 10.0 utilizes the complete stack of SAP NetWeaver 7.0including Enhancement Package 2, you have to apply the Monitoring Setup Guide for SAP NetWeaverto the component of SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service, first. In addition to this, you can definespecial monitors for SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service in the CEN Systems CCMS. You can

    access the Monitoring templates for SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services, called SAPBusinessObjects Global Trade Services using transaction RZ20 (see sectionAlert Monitoring for SAPBusinessObjects Global Trade Services in this guide for full details).In addition to this, you can define special monitors in the CEN systems CCMS for your own needs.There are also some additional monitoring objects designed to monitor cross-componentcommunication and other scenario-specific critical situations.

    3.1.1 Central System Monitoring Architecture

    We recommend that you integrate monitoring SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service into yourexisting Central Monitoring System (CEN) to monitor different SAP systems in a computing centerenvironment. The administration effort is significantly lower if a centralized system monitoring is usedrather than monitoring each system separately. The CEN should have the same SP level or higher asthe highest available SAP NetWeaver Application Server (ABAP) SP level of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 includingEnhancement Package 2 within the system landscape.For detailed instructions on how to set up a CEN system, seeConfiguring the Monitoring Architecture in SAPNetWeaver documentation in SAP Library at https://help.sap.com/nw70 Functional View SAP NetWeaverby Key Capability Solution Life Cycle Management Solution Monitoring Monitoring in the CCMS.The CEN system can be connected to the SAP Solution Manager if the monitoring scenario is configured

    and used. For more information about SAP Solution Manager, see the information available on SAPService Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager .Systems and applications can be monitored with SAP Agent Technology. There are three differentagents available for System Monitoring: SAPCCM4X for SAP NetWeaver Application Server (ABAP) SAPCCMSR for SAP NetWeaver Application Server (Java) with Adobe Document Server (ADS),

    Search & Classification (TREX), Internet Pricing and Configurator (IPC) for using Transaction TaxEngine (TTE) in customs duty calculation

    CCMSPING for availability monitoring from CEN A fourth agent, SAPOSCOL, monitors the operating system data for each host from the CEN system.For more information about CCMS agents, see the documentation available on SAP Service Marketplaceat https:://service.sap.com/monitoring Monitoring in Detail CCMS Agents: Features, Installation andUsage .

    System Groups

    Before creating new monitors for SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service, we recommend that youfirst maintain the system groups in transaction RZ21 .A system group consists of a series of systems that you wish to display together in the CCMS monitoringarchitecture. You can specify a system group when you are defining a monitor the monitor thencontains all systems that belong to the system group.Definitions of system groups are stored in the CCMS System Component Repository (SCR). The SCRis a component that maps to one or more SAP systems. To set up the system groups, go to transactionRZ21 and choose Technical Infrastructure Configure Central System Maintain System Groups. Here, you canalso expand the tree to display the groups that have alreadybeen defined.For detailed instructions on how to maintain system groups, see Maintaining System Groups in SAPNetWeaver documentation in SAP Library at http://help.sap.com/nw70 Functional View SAP

    3.1.3 Component-Specific Monitoring

    One approach for monitoring an SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service 10.0 landscape is to monitoreach component separately in the CEN system. The other approach is to monitor across componentsbased on a business scenario. This section gives you an overview of how each component for runningSAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services could be monitored using CCMS. Which components needto be monitored depends on the scenarios and application areas you implemented for SAPBusinessObjects Global Trade Services. SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Services is based oncomponent SLL-LEG 900 for which you can set up monitors using CCMS.

    3.3 Data Consistency

    SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service 10.0 only consists of one application component. Thus datainconsistency and data storage errors between different components cannot occur.Content Lifecycle Management (CLM) is used as a repository containing application content. Thecontent in the CLM repository can be added either by extraction from various application systems orby importing a new vendor-delivered package. During these operations CLM always loads the data firstand performs validations on top of such content to report functional inconsistencies. If there are abruptblockages, such as connection timeout, it can result in differences between the data maintained in CLMand data present in other sources.

    5 Management of SAP Application

    SAP provides you with an infrastructure to help your technical support consultants and systemadministrators effectively manage all SAP components and complete all tasks related to technicaladministration and operation. This infrastructure provides the following: A central interface for managing administrative middleware tasks Improved problem resolution processes for the entire solution Standardized administration of user profilesFor more information about the underlying technology, see the Technical Operations Manual of SAPNetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 2.

    5.1 Starting and Stopping

    SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service 10.0 is an add-on and therefore complies with the Start andStop Sequence and Tools of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 2, on which SAPBusinessObjects Global Trade Service is installed.

    For more information, see Starting and Stopping the System in the Technical Operations Manual forSAP NetWeaver in SAP Library athttp://help.sap.c om/nw70 System AdministrationTechnicalOperations Manual Administration of SAP NetWeaver Systems AS ABAP (Applicatoin Server for ABAP)

    Management .For the list of components required for each scenario, seeSoftware Component Matrix in this guide.Refer to Troubleshooting in this guide for analyzing problems if a component does not start properly.

    5.2 Software ConfigurationThis chapter explains which components or scenarios used by this application are configurable andwhich tools are available for adjusting.

    Application configuration tools

    Configuration Tool(s) Description

    Customizing You can access the Customizing in the application system with transaction codeSPRO. TheCustomizing is the standard SAP tool for ABAP-based systems used for componentCustomizing.

    SAP SolutionManager

    SAP Solution Manager is the standard tool for process- and scenario-based configuration.For more information, see SAP Note1230438.

    32/56

    Note that SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service only requires the configuration of the businessscenarios and processes. With SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service being an add-on to SAPNetWeaver, no technical configuration is required that is specific to SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade

    Service. It only uses basis parameters for database, operating system, and Application Server ABAPprovided by SAP NetWeaver.For more information about configuration and its concept, see SAP Library at http://help.sap.com/nw70 Functional View SAP NetWeaver by Key Capability Solution Lifecycle Management by KeyCapability Customizing.

    5.3 Administration Tools

    SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service 10.0 and its component SLL-LEG 900 are technically basedon SAP NetWeaver. For information about the relevant administration tools, see the TechnicalOperations Manual for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 in SAP Library athttp://help.sap.com/nw70 SystemAdministration.Content Lifecycle Management Administrator/Developer UtilitiesCLM provides utilities for testing purposes, which are intended for administrators and developer usergroups.Application API Adapter testing: Since CLM calls the RFC function modules while communicatingwith application systems, it expects a certain format and interface for these API/RFC function modules.

    Moreover, an appropriate system setup is also required via system registry configuration where newapplication systems and their APIs are registered. For more information, see Customizing forContentLifecycle Management under Maintain System Registry.In actual scenarios or for productive usage; before you run CLM with system registry settings, it isadvisable to run the test adapter utility using transaction /POA/CLM_API_TESTER. You need to providethe system registry ID. The transaction checks API interfaces and also performs a test run for extractionand deployment operations.Cleaning up the CLM database: If you are running CLM for test purposes or on a test system, and

    you find CLM database tables increasing in size over time; you can use transaction /POA/ CLM_CLEANUP to delete the CLM-specific database tables.

    NOTE

    This program completely deletes all CLM data and does not allow any preferences to be set forspecific entry deletion from CLM database tables. Hence it is intended to be used for cleaning upgarbage or unused data from the test CLM system only.

    5.4 Backup and Restore

    You need to back up your system landscape regularly to ensure that you can restore and recover it incase of failure. The backup and restore procedure for SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service 10.0 asadd-on is identical to the one of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 2 on which SAPBusinessObjects Global Trade Service is installed.For more information about the following topics see the mentioned section in the Technical OperationsManual for SAP NetWeaver in SAP Library at http://help.sap.com/nw70 System Administration

    Technical Operations Manual: For Backup and Recovery, see Administration of SAP NetWeaver Systems AS ABAP (Application Server

    for ABAP) Administration Backup and Recovery For High Availability, see section General Administration Tasks

    The backup and restore strategy for applications consists of two parts: Backup and restore coverage for each component (see table below) Cross-system data dependencies and handlingThe backup and restore strategy for your system landscape should not only consider SAP systems butshould also be embedded in overall business requirements and incorporate your companys entireprocess flow.In addition, the backup and restore strategy must cover disaster recovery processes, such as the loss ofa data center through fire. It is most important in this context that you ensure that backup devices arenot lost together with normal data storage (separation of storage locations).

    6 High Availability

    The processes of SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service are based on master and transaction datafrom one or more feeder systems. If a failure on SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service componentSLL-LEG occurs, all business processes in the feeder system based on action in SAP BusinessObjectsGlobal Trade Service cannot be performed. To avoid any inconveniences SAP BusinessObjects GlobalTrade Service provides a recovery scenario. In SAP Compliance Management, for example, thediscontinuation of the logistics processes in the feeder systems depends on customizing settings foreach area within SAP Compliance Management. If action from SAP BusinessObjects Global TradeService is required by the feeder system at a time when SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service is notavailable, you can configure your system in such a way that one of the following options holds true: Either all subsequent processes are blocked until SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service is

    available again and can perform the tasks needed before continuing the processes in the feedersystem.

    All subsequent processes can be performed without getting a response from SAP BusinessObjectsGlobal Trade Service and SAP BusinessObjects Global Trade Service will perform the tasks once

    the system becomes available again. Alternatively, you can allow all subsequent processes to be performed without any checks if SAP

    BusinessObjects Global Trade Service is not available.The main framework of Content Lifecycle Management is based in SAP NetWeaver. If the softwarecomponent for CLM becomes unavailable, all business scenario concerning CLM stop working.Unavailability of CLM does not break any other software components or application functions.
