BWA procedure docs I can borrow?

[Former Member]

With the first landscape reorg behind us, we are past our initial panic but still struggling to manage this new tool. We are working on getting some team members into training (which is a tough sell with super-tight budgets)... in the mean time, does anyone have any daily health check procedures or routine maintenance schedules I can beg / borrow / steal?

I hate to even ask such a thing (it makes us sound lazy), but we truly have no idea what we're doing. I'd be more than happy to offer a similar-value ERP, BW, or compliance doc in exchange. Or maybe some beer.

Hi,

I have come across this OSS Note 1159260. The note mentions table RSDDSTATBIAUSE.. that stores BIA usage details on a daily basis. Thought, this be helpful to see, on a daily basis, the BIA is being used or not.

Hi Rob,

you mean that you want to monitor the application?

You can do this in a few steps:

Create some entries in table 'RSDDTREXEMAIL'. The first user who want to execute a query against the BWA, while its not available, an email will be created to the users which you have entered in this table.

Every time a user send such an email an entry in table RSDDTREXHPAFAIL (for 30min) will be created which redirects every next incoming query to the BWA direct to the BW database.

You can also administrate your BWA via transactions TREXADMIN and RSDDBIAMON2, with the second one you have nearly the same overviews like in the standalone tool trexadmin on OS.

How you can setup the alert server with the python standolne tool you can read in [my blog under point 5.1|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/16742] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken];.

Rob, listen to Simon The book is good for general overview, although I wish it to go deeper in some topics. TOM available on SDN is great source for BWA admins. As well Jens's weblog.

What I found is often overlooked by functional consultants is old good SAP help: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/a8/48c0417951d117e10000000a155106/frameset.htm

Hope this is helpful,
