Sending data from job throttling to the CCMS Monitoring Architecture
About this task
You can configure the job throttler to send data related to its activity to the SAP Computing Center Monitoring System (CCMS) for monitoring purposes. Sending data from the job throttler to CCMS is supported if you have at least the SAP Web Application Server 6.20, Support Package 12 installed.
In the options file, set the following options (for details, see r3batch
common configuration options):
throttling_send_ccms_data
throttling_send_ccms_rate
In this way, at job throttler startup the following monitoring
tree elements (MTE) are created:
- A context MTE named ITWS for Apps.
- An object MTE with the same name as the HCL Workload Automation extended agent where the job throttler is running. This object MTE belongs to the context MTE ITWS for Apps.
- The following attribute
MTEs:
- JT total released jobs
- The
total number of jobs that the job throttler has released
since startup. This value depends on the
-scratch
option you set at job throttler startup; for details, see Step 5. Starting and stopping the job throttling feature. - JT queue
- The number of enqueued intercepted jobs to be released.
- JT released jobs per cycle
- The number of released jobs in the latest run. This value depends
on the
throttling_send_ccms_rate
setting; for details, see r3batch common configuration options.
Note: By default
throttling_release_all_on_exit
is
set to ON
, meaning that when you stop the job throttler,
all the intercepted jobs are released. However, these jobs are not
considered when updating the JT total released jobs, JT
queue, and JT released jobs
per cycle MTEs.To begin monitoring, include the MTEs in the monitoring set you want, and set the thresholds to generate an alert.
You can define an HCL Workload Automation event rule based on the CCMS alerts; for detailed information, refer to Defining event rules based on CCMS Monitoring Architecture alerts.
For example, to define an event that monitors the attribute MTE JT total released jobs, on
the extended agent workstation with unique identifier
SAP_XA
, connected to the
SAP system ID
T01
, specify the following information: - XA Workstation
SAP_XA
- MTE SAP System ID
T01
- MTE Monitoring Context Name
ITWS for Apps
- MTE Monitoring Object Name
SAP_XA
- MTE Monitoring Attribute Name:
JT total released jobs
