Difference/Dependency of RZ21 and DSWP

[Former Member]

Please let me know whats the diffrence in configuring CCMS alerts in RZ21 (CEN- SOL) and configuring CCMS in(CEN- SOL) Solution Manager -> DSWP -> Solution Monitoring ?? is Solman-> Solution Monitoring a shortcu way or a WIZARD way to RZ21 (creating CCMSUSR, CCMSREG .. etc what ever we do in RZ21) or we need to configure RZ21 as prerequisite to configure solution monitorind in DSWP

Hi Karthik

Solution Manager displays certain RZ20 configured monitor sets (as well as "User Defined Alerts")

At the same time you can also centrallly monitor additional items via transaction RZ20 in the Central Solution Manager

Solution Manager provides both a graphical view and web enabled view of RZ20 for certain monitor sets (in DSWP or DSWP_BSP)

and the opportunity to do further central monitoring on a purpose built central monitoring CCMS system rather than

say doing central monitoring from a productive system like HCM, CRM or any another Netweaver system with RZ20

where work processes and network resorces may be valuable for core PRD operations

Best wishes

Hi Karthik,

RZ20 and RZ21 are a must for CCMS Monitoring.

When you configure CCMS monitoring using DSWP, you only add the CCMS Monitor you created in RZ20.

I hope this helps.

Hello Karthik,

Perhaps you might find the information at this link helpful in answering your questions?

Let me put it in this way.... can i just go and configure CCMS in solution manager in DSWP for sttelite systems or do i also need to do RZ21 steps in solution manager

Please also go through this

Dear Karthik,

The link I sent you is for setup of System Monitoring in Solution Manager.

The system and business process monitoring (including interface monitoring) in the SAP Solution Manager, both use the Computing Center Management System (CCMS) (transaction RZ20) architecture. This means that system alerts which occur in the local CCMS, are passed to the SAP Solution Manager via RFC connections between the SAP Solution Manager and the satellites. The system shows these alerts in a graphic or in Sessions. You can also handle the alerts centrally, without having to go to the local CCMS of the satellite systems.

You can see the alerts from several systems in a solution landscape in the SAP Solution Manager, in a graphical overview, in contrast to the local CCMS of the SAP Solution Manager satellite systems. This is the view of a central CCMS (CEN). You can also monitor non-SAP systems in a central CCMS (CEN) of a satellite system.

The thread you are inquiring about is how to address the challenge of email alerts: "but to receive alerts (e.g. per mail) I additionaly have to do the settings in RZ21 (assign central autoreactions). "

Is this a requirement for you too? If it is yes, then you will need to do this extra step, to get email arets, otherwise no.

Hope this is helpful.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your reply, i am bit confused or making you people confused by posing a unclear question..

I Belive there are two ways to configure CCMS on (CEN-SOL)

1. Configure RZ21 on (CEN - SOLMAN), ie Add satillite systems by creating RFC Connections and adding them viwed in Agents for Remote systems (Satillite systems) by creating CCMSREG and CCMSUSR and registring them in on Sat systems etc.. and here in this scenario i think we dont configure any CCMS alerts on (Local)satillite systems insted we configure CCMS alerts in RZ20 on (CEN) to each Sat system centrally, and then we can also collectivly send a mail to recivers.

summary is that everything is done on CEN, except Registering the satillite systems which is done on Sat systems

no conf is done in RZ20 on Sat systems.. No Local Config

2.By Using Solution Manager, DSWP which relies on CCMS Architecture of Tech Alerts and additionally also provides Buss Funct Alerts .

Here it also checks for RFC Connections to resp sat systems, and here even in this scenario also we configure all req alerts for sat systems in Solman and even define methods for how to react to the alerts but not in Sat systems

Even here we dont do any thing on sat systems, No local config on sat systems, except creating RFC connections to them, we do all alert conf in CEN RZ20 for all sat systems

The advantage here is we can view alerts in Graphical/session view compared to RZ20 which just diplays alert status and secondly i belive we cant log on to the satt sys from RZ20

My doubts are

Do i need to create CCMSREG and CCMSUSR in RZ21 on SOL and register them in Sat systems prior to conf in DSWP

or Solution monitoring conf in DSWP will do it by itself reg sat systems automatically

and i think we can configure Auto reaction method for sending emails in both the cases that should not be the issue

Please correct me if i am wrong

Thanks

My doubts for confg CCMS are

a.i need to configure RZ21 and DSWP both like

Do i need to create CCMSREG and CCMSUSR in RZ21 on SOL and register them in Sat systems prior to conf in DSWP

or

b.i can configure DSWP without RZ21 except RFC Connections for Sat systems

ie will Solution monitoring conf in DSWP will do it by itself reg sat systems automatically

and lastly

the link i posed speaks about configuring Auto reaction method for sending emails, in both the cases that should not be the issue unless if i cant specify an Auto reaction method to an alert of sat sytem

from central Sys (CEN)

Please correct me if i am wrong

Thanks
