1.1 About this Guide


Designing, implementing, and running your SAP solution at peak performance 24 hours a day has
never been more vital for your business success than now.
This guide provides a starting point for managing your SAP solutions and maintaining and running
them optimally. It contains specific information for various tasks and lists the tools that you can use
to implement them. This guide also provides references to the documentation required for these tasks,
so you may need to consult other guides such as the Master Guide and SAP Library.
The following SAP NetWeaver documentation is especially important and must be used in conjunction
with this SAP SRM Application Operations Guide as the SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM)

Monitoring of SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM)

3.1

Alert Monitoring with CCMS

3 Monitoring of SAP Supplier


Relationship Management (SAP SRM)

SAP NetWeaver monitoring is an essential task when you run SAP solutions. The aim of this section is
to provide information and documentation required to configure the Computing Center Management
System (CCMS) and create a user-defined SAP SRM monitor set reflecting a customer-specific SAP
Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) system landscape.
For more information about the underlying technology, see Technical Operations for SAP NetWeaver at SAP
Library for SAP NetWeaver on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/netweaver.
As SAP enhancement package 3 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0 is powered
by SAP NetWeaver 7.40, we recommend that you set up the monitoring infrastructure as described in
the Monitoring Setup Guide for SAP NetWeaver (MSG) under SAP NetWeaver 7.40 System Administration and
Maintenance Information Operations Information on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/netweaver.
The Monitoring Setup Guide (MSG) is the foundation for the following sections and contains all the
information relevant to monitoring the SAP NetWeaver components used in SAP enhancement
package 3 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0. Proficient knowledge of system
monitoring and basic knowledge of SAP NetWeaver is required to set up and manage the user-defined
SAP SRM monitors recommended in this guide.

3.1 Alert Monitoring with CCMS


Proactive, automatic monitoring is the basis for ensuring reliable operations for your SAP system
environment. SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) provides you with the infrastructure
and recommendations on how to set up your alert monitoring in CCMS to recognize critical situations
for SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) as quickly as possible.
For more information, see the Monitoring Setup Guide for SAP NetWeaver (MSG) under SAP NetWeaver 7.0
System Administration and Maintenance Information Operations Information on SAP Help Portal at http://
help.sap.com/netweaver.
To configure alert monitoring with CCMS for SAP enhancement package 3 for SAP Supplier
Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0, you must set up a Central Monitoring System (CEN) and
connect all SAP SRM 7.13 components to this CEN system. For a list of these components and the
business scenarios for which they are relevant, see Scenario/Component Matrix.
You can access the SRM Server Monitoring templates, called SAP (CEN) EnterpriseBuyer Monitors,
using transaction RZ20 (For more information, see SAP SRM Monitor.).

Alert Monitoring with CCMS

For more information, see the SRM Master Guide on the SAP Service Marketplace at http://
service.sap.com/instguides Installation and Upgrade Guides SAP Business Suite Applications
SAP SRM
SAP SRM Server 7.13 .
Since SAP enhancement package 3 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0 uses the
complete SAP NetWeaver 7.40 , you have to apply the SAP NetWeaver Monitoring Setup Guide (MSG)
to the SAP SRM components first. In addition to this, you can define special SAP SRM monitors in the
CEN systems CCMS.

3.1.1 CCMS Monitoring Installation and Setup


To enable the auto-alert mechanism of CCMS, see SAP Note 617547.
RECOMMENDATION

SAP recommends the use of SAP NetWeaver 7.40 for Central Monitoring.

3.1.2 Alert Monitoring of Components


One approach for monitoring an SAP SRM landscape is to monitor each component separately in the
CEN system. The other approach is to monitor across components based on a business scenario.
This section gives you an overview of how each SAP SRM component could be monitored using CCMS.
Which components need to be monitored depends on the SAP SRM scenario(s) implemented. For more
information, see Scenario/Component Matrix.
NOTE

This monitoring set for SAP enhancement package 3 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management
(SAP SRM) 7.0 includes component-related monitors such as for SAP enhancement package 3 for
SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0 and Live Auction Cockpit 6.0 based on
Java (LACWPS 6.0). These monitors are not delivered by SAP but can be created in the CEN system.
All Monitoring Tree Elements (MTE) used for these monitors are based on the default monitoring
templates delivered by SAP.
For information about editing or creating monitors and monitor sets, see the Monitoring Setup Guide
for SAP NetWeaver (MSG) under SAP NetWeaver 7.0 System Administration and Maintenance Information
Operations Information on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/netweaver.

3.1.2.1 SAP NetWeaver 7.4 Monitoring


SAP NetWeaver 7.40 is the integration and application platform for SAP enhancement package 3 for
SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0.
The following SAP NetWeaver components must be integrated into the monitoring infrastructure:

SAP Live Auction Cockpit Web Presentation Server based on Java (LACWPS) 6.0 uses SAP SRM Server
for data persistence and business logic, the monitoring tree element (MTE) Auction for applicationspecific monitoring of SAP Live Auction Cockpit Web Presentation Server based on JAVA server
(LACWPS) 6.0. For more information, see SRM Monitor.
The Live Auction Cockpit based on the Java server runs on SAP NetWeaver Application Server (Java)
7.02. The main focus of this component is the monitoring of the SAP J2EE Engine.
For more information, see the Monitoring Setup Guide for SAP NetWeaver (MSG) under SAP NetWeaver 7.0
System Administration and Maintenance Information Operations Information on SAP Help Portal at http://
help.sap.com/netweaver and Technical Operations for SAP NetWeaver at SAP Library for SAP NetWeaver on
SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/netweaver.

3.1.2.3.2

Activating GRMG Monitoring

Procedure

1.

2.

Obtain the XML format customizing files for the GRMG monitoring scenarios of Live Auction
Cockpit based on Java server.
A GRMG customizing file tells the central monitoring system to run a particular GRMG availability
monitoring scenario that is, to monitor the availability and condition of a particular component.
The GRMG customizing file is named la_grmg.xml for Live Auction Cockpit based on Java server.
It can be found in <INSTDIR>:\usr\sap\<system name>\SYS\global\srmla\monitoring.
To adjust the customizing files, you need to edit the la_grmg.xml file using an XML editor or any
plain text editor. Change the URL specified in the <scenstarturl> element of the customizing file
to the correct hostname and port of your installation.
EXAMPLE

If your installation uses hostname yourhostname on port 8080 then the value in between the
<scenstarturl> and </scenstarturl> tags must be:
<scenstarturl>http://yourhostname:8080/srm/heartBeat</scenstarturl>
NOTE

3.

Each instance of Live Auction Cockpit based on Java server that is to be monitored is considered
a scenario and needs to be executed by the GRMG framework.
To monitor more than one instance of Live Auction Cockpit based on Java server, you need
to specify each of the scenarios in the XML customizing file. For more information, see section
Adding Scenarios to the XML Customizing File (below).
Upload the customizing file into the central monitoring system.
1. Log on to the monitoring system as a user with administrator rights.
Ensure that you log on to the central application server. This is the server that offers the
enqueue service. You can determine which server is your central server with transaction
SM51 or with transaction RZ03.

Start transaction GRMG by entering GRMG in the OK field in the SAPGUI toolbar.
Click Upload a GRMG Scenario.
A file selection dialog box is displayed.
4. Navigate to the directory in which the customizing file is located and select the file.
5. Click Open to upload the file.
In the first production release of this transaction, no confirmation message is presented. For more
information on verifying GRMG settings, see Verifying the GRMG Availability Monitoring (below).
After you have uploaded all of the customizing files, start the availability monitoring.
CAUTION

Ensure that you are logged on to the central application server of the monitoring system
before carrying out this step. The central server is the one that offers the enqueue service.
You can determine which server this is in transaction SM51 or transaction RZ03.
To start the GRMG availability monitoring, click Start all scenarios in transaction GRMG.
Result

No messages regarding the start of availability monitoring are displayed. For more information, see
Verifying the GRMG Availability Monitoring.
Once you start GRMG monitoring, the monitoring scenarios that you installed run automatically. By
default, the CCMS monitoring architecture repeats each GRMG availability monitoring scenario
automatically every ten minutes.
Adding Scenarios to the XML Customizing File

1.
2.
3.
4.

Copy everything in between the tags (including the tags themselves): <scenario> and </
scenario>.
Paste them below the last <scenario> tag.
Repeat this step for each additional instance you wish to monitor.
Modify the values in between <scenversion> and </scenversion>, and <sceninst> and </
sceninst>, so that they are unique for each instance.
RECOMMENDATION

5.

We recommend that you use a value of 001 for the first instance and then increment the value
by one for each additional instance (002, 003, and so on).
Change the URL specified between the <scenstarturl> and </scenstarturl> tags to the correct
and fully qualified hostname and port for this particular scenario.

Verifying GRMG Availability Monitoring for Live


Auction based on Java Server

Procedure
Displaying Scenario Execution Status
NOTE

If you are running live auction on the ABAP Server, this section is no longer relevant for you.
This section describes how to verify that GRMG availability monitoring is running correctly and also
describes procedures for analyzing problems.
GRMG uses a hierarchical monitoring tree to report whether or not it was able to run an availability
monitoring scenario successfully.
1. Log on to the monitoring system as a user with administrator rights.
2. Start transaction RZ20.
The transaction presents the list of standard monitor collections in your system.
3. Expand the monitor collection named SAP CCMS Technical Expert Monitors.
The list of monitors in this collection is displayed.
4. Double-click on the monitor named All Monitoring Contexts.
The monitoring tree that reports the status of the monitoring architecture is displayed.
5. Find and expand the monitoring subtree which is named SRM Live Auction Scenario (or the value
specified for the element <scendesc> in the XML customizing file.)
You should now see a further subtree with the name Web Server of SRM Live Auction Scenario.
6. Expand the Web Server of SRM Live Auction Scenario node to open the subtree.
Result

If the Java Web Server of SRM Live Auction Scenario subtree is present and is green, then all GRMG monitoring
scenarios are running correctly; the GRMG application was contacted and returned a valid answer. As
the Heartbeat message indicates, you can view the availability data in the normal scenario subtree,
under the full name of the scenario.
If the Java Web Server of SRM Live Auction Scenario subtree is missing or the subtree or any of its branches
are red (red alert) or white (monitoring inactive), then an error occurred. For more information, see
Troubleshooting GRMG Availability Monitoring.

Troubleshooting GRMG Availability Monitoring

No GRMG_SelfMonitoring Subtree Found

If you were unable to verify the GRMG availability monitoring as described in Verifying the GRMG

Alert Monitoring with CCMS

w The GRMG availability monitoring was not started on the central application server of your SAP
system.
1. Check for other MoniInfra_<server name> subtrees in the CCMS Selfmonitoring monitor.
2. Delete any such trees.
3. Start GRMG monitoring on the central application server.
w None of the GRMG customizing files that you uploaded could be correctly processed.
1. Check the customizing by using transaction SE16 to display the entries in the following GRMG
customizing tables:
Customizing Table
GRMG_SCENARIOS

GRMG_SCENARIO_T

Required Contents
w The technical name [SCEN_NAME] of each monitoring scenario
that you uploaded
w The URL used by the scenario to test availability
A descriptive name for each technical name [SCEN_NAME] in

GRMG_COMPONENTS

An entry for each component name [COMP_NAME] in


GRMG_PROPERTIES

GRMG_COMPONENT_T A descriptive name for each component name [COMP_NAME] in


GRMG_COMPONENTS

2.

If any of the required table content is missing, then the customizing file did not contain
complete or valid XML customizing data for GRMG.
Download the newest customizing files from the SAP Community Network at the Internet
address http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-products .
CAUTION

Do not attempt to correct customizing directly in the customizing tables. Instead, correct
the problems by editing the customizing XML file and uploading the file again.
GRMG_SelfMonitoring Subtree Found with Errors

If you were able to find the GRMG_SelfMonitoring subtree, click on the subtrees to open them and display
the execution status of each scenario.
A scenario error means that the monitoring architecture was unable to run the scenario. Possible
reasons include:
w The host specified in the scenario URL may have been unreachable.
w No answer was received.
w An invalid answer was received.
Whenever a scenario error occurs, only the scenario error subtree is created or updated not the
normal monitoring subtree to allow the monitor to distinguish between failure to execute a scenario,
which may have many causes, and the non-availability of the monitored components. A scenario failure
does not necessarily mean that the monitored components are unavailable.

The URL specified in the scenario customizing points to a nonexistent host or port.
Check that the URL is valid.
2. The HTTP server specified in the URL is not running.
Start the HTTP server if it is not running. If the GRMG
application runs on the same server as the monitored
components, then this error message also means that the tested
components are not available.
Your installation is having problems with the network
configuration or with network operation.
There is a problem with the HTTP service in the SAP system you are
using for monitoring. Check on the status of this service with
transaction SMICM.
There is a problem with the HTTP server specified in the scenario
URL.
There is a problem with the HTTP client function in the SAP system
you are using for monitoring. Check on the status of your HTTP
operations with transaction SMICM.

You are using an RFC destination of type HTTP instead of specifying


a URL directly in scenario customizing.
The destination has not been defined or there is a destination use
authorization problem.
This scenario error often occurs when an HTML response rather
than an XML response has been returned from the server specified
in the scenario URL. In this case, the XML parse engine may not
return specific errors that can be output in the scenario error
message.
Typically, such a scenario error means that the GRMG application
targeted in the scenario URL is not installed at the target host.
The Web server may return an HTML page with a code 404 (page
not found) message, or may return some other non-XML response
which confuses the XML parser.
Check that the GRMG application is installed and runs correctly at
the target host.
This error message may occur if a GRMG application responds
without reporting the status of any of the components specified in
the GRMG monitoring request.
Check that the components specified in the GRMG customizing file
match those checked by the GRMG application.

3.1.2.4 SAP SRM Monitor


NOTE

In earlier releases, SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) used to be known as SAP
Enterprise Buyer. This is still reflected in the name of the monitor tool, which is called SAP
EnterpriseBuyer Monitors.
To reduce administrative tasks for system administration and monitoring, we recommend that you
create a separate monitor set with the SRM monitoring area, SAP (CEN) EnterpriseBuyer
Monitors, which includes multiple isolated monitors summarized into one single monitor. This
provides you with a simple separation between the middleware and SAP SRM Server.
Procedure

1.
2.

Go to transaction RZ20 and create a new monitor under the SRM monitor set created earlier: SAP
(CEN ) EnterpriseBuyer Monitors.
On the top level, create a virtual node for each of the following areas:
~v Approval
~v Auction
~v Bid Invitation
~v Component Planning
~v Confirmation
~v Contract Management
~v Invoice

Backup and Restore

4.4 Backup and Restore


To ensure that you can restore and recover your system in case of failure, you must back up your
system landscape regularly.
The backup-and-restore procedure for SAP SRM consists of two parts:
Sc Backup and restore for each component
Sc Cross-system data dependencies and handling
The backup and restore process for your system landscape should not only consider SAP systems. It
should be embedded in your overall business requirements and take into account the overall process
flow of your company.
In addition, the backup concept must cover disaster recovery processes, for example, loss of your data
center due to fire. Most important in this context is to ensure that backup devices are not lost along
with normal data storage. For more information, see Categories of System Components for Backup and Restore.
Based on the type of application data a component holds, we have used a categorization scheme that
can be used to analyze the backup requirements of any system component and to easily determine an
appropriate backup method for this component. The following table contains the component list of
the solution and the appropriate categories:

4.4.1 General Remarks


CAUTION

This information assumes that readers are familiar with database and server administration and
therefore does not explain how to back up a relational database management system (RDBMS)
or a file system. If you have questions, contact your IT staff, and refer to the operations manuals
provided by your database and operating system suppliers.
SAP solutions use several SAP component systems to implement cross-system processes. Data is no
longer held centrally in a single system; instead it is distributed between several SAP components.
Due to the non-transactional character of the document workflow between the different landscape
components involved within one SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) business
scenario, it is impossible to find a common point of consistency across the whole SAP Supplier
Relationship Management (SAP SRM) landscape.
The only backup type that can guarantee full physical and logical consistency (these terms are explained
below) of an SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) landscape is an offline backup of the
whole landscape conducted after all business users have logged off and the complete business workflow
has ended. Tools offering manageability and monitoring of these tasks do not yet exist.
QM#S Logical consistency
Restores the SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) system landscape (cross-system
data consistency) to a consistent state. The restoration applies at document level at the time of the
backup. This includes the successful roll-back of all open business transactions with respect to the
exchange of documents (if a purchase order is sent but a purchase order response has not yet been
received, for example).
QM#S Physical cConsistency
Restores individual SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) components to a
consistent state, followed by a successful startup of the restored components, and a successful
reconnection to other components. Physical consistency provides a working SAP Supplier
Relationship Management (SAP SRM) runtime in which newly created business documents can
be exchanged. It is required to develop a transactional conduct on user level to react to broken
workflows and outdated documents appearing after the restoration.

34/68

PUBLIC

2013-08-13

Management of SAP SRM

4.4

Backup and Restore

A distributed, business system landscape requires a detailed backup-and-restore concept. This concept
must account for both the business data (which is contained in databases) and the runtime
infrastructure. Regular backups keep the downtime of the system landscape to a minimum during
restoration of the infrastructure and business data. We recommend a backup after the initial installation
and configuration of the system landscape. We also recommend a backup after changes (this means
changes to the configuration, software upgrade of individual components, or replacement of
components) are made to the system landscape, depending on the frequency of such changes.
When you decide which infrastructure components to back up, consider the following factors:
Je Time required for a complete reinstallation
Je Time required for additional configuration
Je Effects of the expected downtime of one or more infrastructure components with regard to the
overall availability of the SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) landscape
RECOMMENDATION

We recommend that you back up the runtime infrastructure of all the components of an SAP
SRM landscape.
You must test your backup-and-restore concept regularly. A single backup-and-restore test is
insufficient, since the SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) landscape is likely to
change, and render a given concept redundant. System administrators need an up-to-date backupand-restore concept to be able to quickly restore failed systems.
For more information, see Technical Operations for SAP NetWeaver at SAP Library for SAP NetWeaver on SAP
Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/netweaver.

4.4.2 Backup of Individual Components in an SAP Supplier


Relationship Management (SAP SRM) Landscape
When you plan a backup-and-restore strategy for application, software, and configuration files, you
must consider the following elements:
Je Operating system
Je RDBMS data files
Je RDBMS software
Je SAP software and file systems
Je Log files (SAP and other)
Je Software of other system components (file systems and configuration files)
NOTE

A component that has application data (database, for example) also contains application
software and configuration files (runtime infrastructure) that need to be backed up.

2013-08-13

PUBLIC

35/68

Management of SAP SRM

4.4

Backup and Restore

A component that contains no application data may still contain configuration files and
software that do require a backup.

4.4.2.1 Backup and Restore for Operating System, Software,


and Configuration Data
Apart from business-critical application data (generally held in databases), it may also be worthwhile
to back up the system and application software (including configuration files). If you do this, you do
not have to reinstall the system and application software if the software becomes damaged.
While it is always possible to reinstall the operating system, software, and configuration data,
reinstallation and configuration take a long time. Therefore, if a backup of the software and
configuration is available, you can reduce the time needed to restore your system after a system failure.
While data that is contained in the RDBMS can be backed up online, it is not possible to do the same
for the runtime infrastructure. If you perform a backup while the server is running, open files may not
be backed up.
Online Backup

The data contained in the database can be backed up online; however, it is not possible to do the same
for the runtime infrastructure.
An online backup refers to the system landscape and not the databases that contain the business-critical
application, or the infrastructure components.
NOTE

If you perform a backup while the server is running, open files may not be backed up.
File System Backup Versus Full System Backup

A file system backup only applies to specific files or file systems, whereas a full system backup applies
to all files and file systems, and to the operating system.
RECOMMENDATION

We recommend that you perform a full system backup after installation and that you back up
the file systems of both the installed software and the operating system on a regular basis.
For more information about possible backup scenarios, see SAP Service Marketplace at http://
service.sap.com/atg Advanced Technology Group Backup & Restore .

4.4.2.2 Database Backup and Restore


NOTE

We recommend that you run the database in archive mode. This means all actions on the database
that modify data are recorded by the database and written to a transaction log.

36/68

PUBLIC

2013-08-13

Management of SAP SRM

4.4

Backup and Restore

With regular full backups of your database (either offline or online), as well as a complete set of
transaction logs since the last backup, it is possible to restore a crashed database to any point in time
before the database crashed.
NOTE

We recommend that you back up your database every day, with several backups of the log files
during the day as the log files fill up.

4.4.2.3 Backup and Restore for SAP NetWeaver Application


Server (SAP NetWeaver AS) 7.40
Back up the file system in which the application software is installed.
NOTE

We recommend regular file system backups (at least after software changes and upgrades, for
example, kernel upgrades and service packs). Perform a full system backup after installation and
upgrades of the operating system and the SAP software.

4.7 Logon and Load Balancing


As a web-based application, the basis for logon and load balancing in SAP SRM is a high availability
landscape setup together with a load balanced network setup.
SoH7 For more information on network load balancing, see Technical Operations for SAP NetWeaver at SAP
Library for SAP NetWeaver on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/netweaver.
SoH7 For information about load balancing between many Java instances and on the SAP Web Dispatcher,
see Technical Operations for SAP NetWeaver at SAP Library for SAP NetWeaver on SAP Help Portal at http://
help.sap.com/netweaver.
A load-balanced network using SAP Web Dispatcher together with logon groups in the SAP SRM Server
can be used to redirect certain users to specific application servers.

4.8 User Management


All scenarios and components in SAP SRM use the User Management Engine (UME) of SAP NetWeaver.
For more information, see the SAP NetWeaver Security Guide under Security Information on SAP Help Portal at
http://help.sap.com/netweaver.
Because of special requirements of the SRM Server, the following SRM-specific user management tools

Software Change Management

6.1

Transport and Change Management

6 Software Change Management

Software Change Management standardizes and automates software distribution, maintenance, and
testing procedures for complex software landscapes and multiple software development platforms.
The goal of Software Change Management is to establish consistent, solution-wide change management
that allows for specific maintenance procedures, global rollouts, including localizations, and open
integration with third-party products.
This section provides additional information about the most important software components.
The following topics are covered:
C/ Transport and Change Management
Enables and secures the distribution of software changes from the development environment to
the quality assurance and productive environment.
C/ Development Request and Development Release Management
C/ Template Management
Enables and secures the rollout of global templates, including localizations
C/ Quality and Test Management
Reduces the time, costs, and risks associated with software changes.
C/ Support Packages and SAP Notes Implementation
Provides standardized software distribution and maintenance procedures.
C/ Release and Upgrade Management
Reduces the time, costs, and risks associated with upgrades.

6.1 Transport and Change Management


SAP NetWeaver includes the Change and Transport System (CTS), which is a tool that helps you to
organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then transport the
changes between the SAP Systems in your system landscape.
For transport and change management issues, the procedures of SAP NetWeaver apply for SAP
enhancement package 3 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0.
For more information about Change and Transport System (CTS), see SAP Library for SAP NetWeaver on SAP
Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/netweaver.
SAP enhancement package 3 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0 can be used
with more than one portal tenant, and in several different ways.

Development Requests and Development Release Management

-h.^ One option is for one portal tenant to be used for SAP SRM Server, another one for SAP SRM
Server (SUS), and a third one for SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (SAP NetWeaver BI).
-h.^ Another option of utilizing more than one portal tenant within the SRM Server is to assign different
purchasing organizations to different portal tenants each purchasing organization has a separate
portal tenant. This is useful for example, if the SRM Server is provided to different companies by
an application service provider.
-h.^ Other SAP SRM components could be shared with other SAP or non-SRM applications like SAP
NetWeaver Process Integration and SAP NetWeaver Portal.

6.2 Development Requests and Development Release


Management
The transport workflow provides a framework for transporting enhancements or new developments
of existing business functions in a system landscape.

8.3 CA Wily Introscope Integration


To enable application analysis, including performance monitoring, CA Wily Introscope is integrated
into diagnostics in SAP Solution Manager. SAP provides Introscope instrumentation for SAP Supplier
Relationship Management (SRM).
Introscope incorporates dashboards for performance and stability analysis. In addition, the Introscope
Investigator provides a detailed view of all applications and environment metrics reported by an
Introscope agent to the Wily Enterprise Manager (EM). The EM is the Introscope server and is part of
SAP Solution Manager. You can trace user-specific interaction within Introscope using the Transaction
Trace.
Metrics, which are collected and reported through traces defined in Probe Builder Directive (PBD) files,
define the information that is collected at runtime. An Introscope agent collects this information and
reports it to the EM. The metrics are stored in the EM's database. You can view performance metrics
using either the Introscope Workstation or the Introscope Webview applications.

CA Wily Introscope Integration

To enable Introscope for SAP SRM, install and configure the Introscope Agent on the SAP SRM
application server hosts. For more information about setting up and configuring Introscope, see SAP
Note 797147 and its attached Frequently Asked Questions document.
The set of metrics on the EM for the SRM-MDM Catalog & LACWPS components are as follows:
1. Average CPU Time (s)
2. Average Response Time (ms)
3. Concurrent Invocations
4. Errors Per Interval
5. Responses Per Interval
6. Stall Count
NOTE

Starting the MDM Catalog and LACWPS applications through the SAP SRM portal triggers the
presence of metrics on the EM.
