9 Capabilities of technical operations Technical Monitoring and Alerting One infrastructure for all monitoring and alerting covering SAP & non-sap Technical Analytics From technical reporting to management reporting, out-of-the-box and extendable Root-cause Analysis Analyize issues in heterogeneous landscapes with one look-and-feel Change Diagnostic Ensure that your landscape is configured compliant to your policy and references Technical Administration Optimize operation of your IT and Data Volume Management Manage data growth and data reduction measures in your landscape application landscape 9

10 Technical Monitoring and Alerting Capabilities in Detail Central access point for all alert coming from the different monitoring scenarios Integration of Incident & Notification Management, Root-cause Analysis and collaboration features System Monitoring Status overview for technical systems, instances, databases and hosts Drill down to single metrics and events, Jump in to metric reporting and landscape information End User Experience Monitoring Measurement of availability and response times from an End User perspective Deep integration in E2E Trace Analysis for Root-cause Analysis Process Integration Monitoring Central entry point for SAP Process Integration specific monitoring for complete PI domains Contains central monitors for PI components, PI channels and Message flows Business Intelligence Monitoring Central monitoring for SAP Business Intelligence solutions based on SAP BW and BOE XI Monitoring of SAP Business Warehouse process chains and Business Objects specific jobs Connection Monitoring Integration of all scenarios in End-End-to-End Monitoring and Alerting Infrastructure Unified Alert Inbox Active Monitoring of RFC and HTTP connections between SAP Systems 10

12 Usecase: Proactive Monitoring EEM never sleeps Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Monitoring Coverage Z Z Z Z Z EEM synthetic probes real user observation 05h 12h 18h 22h daytime 12

13 Usecase: Stop Fingerpointing Global Networks Customer Central IT Local Network The Symptome: Nobody is interested to solve an issue as long as he believe the root cause maybe located in another department. Local IT What EEM can do: EEM helps to locate and quantify an issue Is it related to a specific business scenario? Is it related to specific location? Is there a dynamic issue? The integrated E2E trace analysis discovers the root cause 13

14 Usecase: Reliable SLA Reporting from End User Perspective An user thinks in a blackbox model: My business process. It simply has to work, how ever it works! Nobody can define generic, comparable metrics for all components of a technical scenario. Nobody is interested in technical details at deeper level on customer side. Measurement from end user perspective implicitly includes all relevant components without the need to define them in detail End User Experience Monitoring 14

15 Usecase: Catch and analyze a rare performance issue direct jump in EEM Realtime Monitoring UI The issue was caught by EEM and performance traces were executed automatically. E2E Trace Analyse Details pointing to server side first and showing finally an issue on the DB 15

16 End User Experience Monitoring SAP Solution Manager Alerting EEM Robot EEM Robot EEM Robot Monitoring Analytics Robots start end-user scripts according to configuration Robots receive responses, conduct response time measurement and send results to SAP Solution Manager SAP Solution Manager receives results and collects corresponding server-side performance data SAP Solution Manager fills in measured data in Alerting and Reporting 16

17 Integration with E2E Trace Analysis Client / EEM Robot Enterprise Portal Back-end Systems SAP Passport Transaction ID: - Identifies a single request - is always forwarded through the landscape Trace Flags: - Tells system what activities are to be logged 17

24 EEM Script Recorder and EEM Editor Business Transaction.xml EEM Script Recorder Script Editor Script recorder allows recording of end-user activities based on HTTP/HTTPS or SAPGUI communication With script editor several parts of end user script are generalized and customized as handling of authentication, content checks,. Script editor supports testing of end-user scripts before deployment to robots 24

27 EEM Script Editor Actions relevant for one specific script Display results of single execution of the script Actions globally available to handle projects and scripts Provide management functions for scripts and projects Editors to adapt single scripts to customers needs Display history of all script executions Display warnings and errors including single message result and detailed error messages 27

28 Script Execution Configuration Configuration is possible in hierarchical scopes root Global (for all robots) Robot Technical Scenario Script Script on Robot Temporary Str eng th e.g. settings per Script overwrite setting per Robot Compact configuration is possible e.g. at global level as well as very specific configuration e.g. at Script on Robot level Dedicated authorization concept to allow separation of responsibilities for different configuration scopes All configuration is done centrally and can be deployed from SAP Solution Manager to the single Robots with one click Configuration tools are centralized in one UI including configuration of Scripts, Monitoring UI, Alerting and Reporting 28
