You can use the liveCache Alert Monitor to identify memory problems in good time, to check the security of your SAP liveCache database, and to monitor performance.

If data collection methods are periodically scheduled, alerts are automatically updated and forwarded to the monitoring tree. Analysis methods deliver additional information about the alert statuses, and auto-reaction methods can be configured for automatic reactions to new alerts.

Prerequisites

The user has been assigned a role in accordance with the authorization concept. You can reach the user menu of the user with the authorizations that correspond to his or her role.

    Or enter the name of the database connection in the liveCache Assistant. You can select the name from the list of existing names. You can restrict the search for the required name. Choose   liveCache   Monitoring   Alert Monitor   MaxDB Monitoring   liveCache   <name of the database connection>  .

    The Alert Monitoring is activated and the SAP liveCache connection has been added to the liveCache alert monitor (liveCache: Alert Monitor).

    If alert monitoring has not yet been activated (for example, by accessing the liveCache Alert Monitor in the liveCache Assistant) you should activate the Alert Monitor and add the SAP liveCache connection to the liveCache Alert Monitor (more information below: Administering liveCache Connections in the liveCache Alert Monitor) In CCMS Monitoring   SAP CCMS Monitor Templates for Optional Components   MaxDB Monitoring, choose   liveCache   <database connection name>  .

Activities

If necessary, update the display for the liveCache Alert Monitor tree. To do this, choose Refresh and Invalidate Data Cache in the liveCache Alert Monitor.

Nodes

Every monitored element of the SAP liveCache is displayed as part of a hierarchical tree (monitoring tree) and described as a monitoring tree element (MTE), or node. Online help (short and long texts) gives you the most important information about each node.

You can choose from the following displays for each SAP liveCache node in the monitoring tree:

Colors of the Alerts

  • Green displays mean that the SAP liveCache state is OK. The administrator does not need to intervene.

  • Yellow or red displays mean that this state is putting production operation of the SAP liveCache database instance at risk. The administrator must take measures to find and eliminate the cause of the alert.

Data Collector

Data collectors usually collect data for more than one node. You can see an overview of the data collectors in the appropriate internal subtree. For information on the frequency of the data collections, see the long text for each node.

Analysis Methods

You can start the analysis methods of a node through the node itself (for example, by double-clicking it).

Managing SAP liveCache Connections in the liveCache Alert Monitor

Calling up the liveCache Alert Monitor using the liveCache Assistant user menu usually activates alert monitoring and the SAP liveCache connection is added to the liveCache Alert Monitor tree.

It may be necessary to update the liveCache Alert Monitor tree display. To do this, choose Refresh and Invalidate Data Cache in the liveCache Alert Monitor.

In some special cases you may have to administer the SAP liveCache connection in the liveCache Alert Monitor manually. In these cases you can use the report RSLVCALMON.

  3. Enter the name of the database connection.

As an alternative to starting the report, you can also start the central instance.

The liveCache Alert Monitor is started and the SAP liveCache connection is added. It may be necessary to update the liveCache Alert Monitor tree display. To do this, choose Refresh and Invalidate Data Cache in the liveCache Alert Monitor.

Deleting an SAP Database Connection from the liveCache Alert Monitor
