Unit 13: System Monitoring ADM100
Before you maintain threshold values in the next demo, specify your own
properties variants. The customer default variant “*” is in use.
Properties variants are containers in which CCMS Alert Monitor settings,
such as threshold values, can be stored.
You can create as many properties variants as you like and store CCMS
Alert Monitor settings in them. At any time, exactly one properties variant
with your settings is active.
Properties variants have three advantages:
• You can manually switch from one properties variant to another
for test purposes or to adjust the monitor to a special situation.
This means that all monitor settings are automatically changed in
accordance with the current properties variant.
• You can connect a properties variant to an operation mode. In this
way, the threshold value for the dialog response time is set to 1s
during the day, while the threshold value is automatically increased
to 10s after the switch to night operation, as there is usually no dialog
processing during the night.
• You can transport the contents of properties variants to other SAP
systems using the transport system. For example, if you create a
variant for production systems in the central monitoring system,
and maintain the threshold values that are to apply for production
systems there, you can then transport the variant to all production
systems and activate the threshold values there.
