SAP Metric Data Collector configuration parameters
The configuration files contain important information that SAP Metric Data Collector requires to connect to the SAP systems from which the tool collects the license metric utilization data.
The configuration files are located in the following directory:
- /var/opt/BESClient/LMT/SAPTOOL/config
- C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client\LMT\SAPTOOL\config
List of main configuration parameters that define SAP systems
The following parameters define the SAP systems in your environment. They are configured based on
the template.sapsystem file. Do not overwrite the template file. Save the
configuration in a new file named
<host_name>.sapsystem.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
jco.client.ashost | Hostname or IP address of the SAP system. |
jco.client.user | SAP user account name. |
jco.client.passwd | SAP user account password. |
jco.client.client | SAP client number. |
jco.client.sysnr | SAP system number. |
jco.client.lang | Connection language; for example: EN or DE. |
is_law | Confirm whether this is the central SAP system with consolidated LAW data. Only one system in the landscape must have this parameter set to true. |
Other parameters
Other parameters that are required to collect SAP utilization data should be configured in a separate configuration file saptool_config.properties. After you set up the value of these parameters, overwrite the file by saving.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
landscape_name | A custom name of the SAP landscape that is used to distinguish the SAP landscape in BigFix Inventory. The landscape name is displayed on the Resource Utilization report in a Instance column. |
skip_measurements | By default, this parameter is set to false. If you only need to collect SAP
utilization data, without triggering measurements, set the value of the parameter to
true and save the file. If you use the automated procedure, do not change the
default setting of the parameter. Note: The skip_measurements parameter is
relevant only if you use LAW. In case of LAW 2.0 measurements and consolidation are always
skipped. |
