7/19/2019
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 con gure the Computing Center Management System (CCMS) and create a user-de ned SAP SRM
monitor set re ecting a customer-speci c 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 4 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 4 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management
(SAP SRM) 7.0. Pro cient knowledge of system monitoring and basic knowledge of SAP NetWeaver is required to set up and
manage the user-de ned SAP SRM monitors recommended in this guide.

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 con gure alert monitoring with CCMS for SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM)
7.0, you must set up a Central Monitoring System (CEN) and connect all SAP SRM 7.14 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.).

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 7.14 .

Since SAP enhancement package 4 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 rst. In addition to this,
you can de ne special SAP SRM monitors in the CEN system’s CCMS.

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.

Alert Monitoring of Components


https://help.sap.com/http.svc/dynamicpdfcontentpreview?deliverable_id=21795174&topics=c91a5276b0ee49a29f561ddd4d9… 7/46
7/19/2019
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 4 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0 includes
component-related monitors such as for SAP enhancement package 4 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 .

SAP NetWeaver 7.4 Monitoring


SAP NetWeaver 7.40 is the integration and application platform for SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP Supplier Relationship
Management (SAP SRM) 7.0.

The following SAP NetWeaver components must be integrated into the monitoring infrastructure:

SAP NetWeaver Application Server (ABAP) 7.40 (for SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP SRM 7.0)

SAP NetWeaver Application Server (Java) 7.40 (for SAP Live Auction Cockpit 6.0)

SAP NetWeaver Usage Type Process Integration (PI)

GRMG Availability Monitoring for SAP Live


Auction Cockpit Web Presentation Server
based on Java Server 6.0
Note
As of SAP enhancement package 1 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0, it has been possible to run Live
Auction Cockpit on the ABAP server. If you have con gured your SAP SRM server to run Live Auction Cockpit on the ABAP
server, section 3.1.2.3 is no longer applicable.

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 application-speci c 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 .

Activating GRMG Monitoring


1. Obtain the XML format customizing les for the GRMG monitoring scenarios of Live Auction Cockpit based on Java server.

A GRMG customizing le 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 le is named la_grmg.xml for Live Auction Cockpit based on Java server. It can be found in
<INSTDIR>:\usr\sap\<systemname>\SYS\global\srmla\monitoring.

2. To adjust the customizing les, you need to edit the la_grmg.xml le using an XML editor or any plain text editor. Change
the URL speci ed in the <scenstarturl> element of the customizing le to the correct hostname and port of your

https://help.sap.com/http.svc/dynamicpdfcontentpreview?deliverable_id=21795174&topics=c91a5276b0ee49a29f561ddd4d… 10/46
7/19/2019
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
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 le. For more information, see section Adding Scenarios to the XML Customizing File
(below).

3. Upload the customizing le into the central monitoring system.

a. 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.

b. Start transaction GRMG by entering GRMG in the OK eld in the SAPGUI toolbar.

c. Click Upload a GRMG Scenario.

A le selection dialog box is displayed.

d. Navigate to the directory in which the customizing le is located and select the le.

e. Click Open to upload the le.

In the rst production release of this transaction, no con rmation message is presented. For more information on verifying
GRMG settings, see Verifying the GRMG Availability Monitoring (below).

4. After you have uploaded all of the customizing les, 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

https://help.sap.com/http.svc/dynamicpdfcontentpreview?deliverable_id=21795174&topics=c91a5276b0ee49a29f561ddd4d… 11/46
7/19/2019
1. Copy everything in between the tags (including the tags themselves): <scenario> and </scenario>.

2. Paste them below the last <scenario> tag.

3. Repeat this step for each additional instance you wish to monitor.

4. Modify the values in between <scenversion> and</scenversion>, and <sceninst> and </sceninst>, so that
they are unique for each instance.

Recommendation
We recommend that you use a value of 001 for the rst instance and then increment the value by one for each additional
instance (002, 003, and so on).

5. Change the URL speci ed between the <scenstarturl> and </scenstarturl> tags to the correct and fully quali ed hostname
and port for this particular scenario.

Verifying GRMG Availability Monitoring for


Live Auction based on Java Server
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 speci ed for the element
<scendesc> in the XML customizing le.)

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

https://help.sap.com/http.svc/dynamicpdfcontentpreview?deliverable_id=21795174&topics=c91a5276b0ee49a29f561ddd4d… 12/46
7/19/2019
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 Availability Monitoring, one of
the following can be the cause:

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.

None of the GRMG customizing les 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 Required Contents

GRMG_SCENARIOS
The technical name [SCEN_NAME] of each
monitoring scenario that you uploaded

The URL used by the scenario to test availability

GRMG_SCENARIO_T A descriptive name for each technical name [SCEN_NAME]


in GRMG_SCENARIOS

GRMG_PROPERTIES At least one entry for each technical name [SCEN_NAME] in


GRMG_SCENARIOS

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

If any of the required table content is missing, then the customizing le did not contain complete or valid XML
customizing data for GRMG.

2. Download the newest customizing les from the SAP Community Network at the Internet address
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-products .

Caution

https://help.sap.com/http.svc/dynamicpdfcontentpreview?deliverable_id=21795174&topics=c91a5276b0ee49a29f561ddd4d… 13/46
7/19/2019
Do not attempt to correct customizing directly in the customizing tables. Instead, correct the problems by
editing the customizing XML le and uploading the le again.

GRMG_SelfMonitoring Subtree Found with Errors


If you were able to nd 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:

The host speci ed in the scenario URL may have been unreachable.

No answer was received.

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.

GRMG continues attempting to run each scenario every ten minutes (or whatever interval you have de ned), even if the scenario
execution ends in a scenario error.

Possible scenario error messages and causes:

GRMG Scenario Error Message Cause

Reason for HTTP POST failure:


1. The URL speci ed in the scenario customizing points to a
HTTP communication failure non-existent host or port.

GRMG Scenario Error Message Cause

Reason for HTTP POST failure: 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
Argument not found
operations with transaction SMICM.
Plug-in not active

Internal error

HTTP invalid state

Reason for HTTP POST failure: You are using an RFC destination of type HTTP instead of specifying
a URL directly in scenario customizing.
Destination not found
The destination has not been de ned or there is a destination use
Not authorized to use HTTP destination
authorization problem.

Reason for scenario failure: This scenario error often occurs when an HTML response rather
than an XML response has been returned from the server speci ed
<no error message>
in the scenario URL. In this case, the XML parse engine may not
return speci c 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.

Reason for scenario failure: This error message may occur if a GRMG application responds
without reporting the status of any of the components speci ed in
No response for any component in request
the GRMG monitoring request.
<no error message>
Check that the components speci ed in the GRMG customizing le
match those checked by the GRMG application.

You can also compare the GRMG request and response directly by
switching on HTTP tracing brie y (level 3) in transaction SMICM on
the central server of your monitoring system.

Reason for scenario failure: A formal DTD error, such as unbalanced tags, occurred in the
response.
<Any message relating to invalid XML format>
You can view the response directly by switching on HTTP tracing
<no error message>
brie y (level 3) in transaction SMICM on the central server of your
monitoring system.

Reason for scenario failure: There is a problem in the CCMS monitoring architecture.

Any message having to do with the CCMS monitoring Check the alerts elsewhere in the CCMS Selfmonitoring monitor for
architecture, such as possible causes. Be sure, as well, that you have started GRMG
monitoring only on the central server of the SAP system that you

Use

Note
In earlier releases, SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) used to be known as SAP Enterprise Buyer. This is still
re ected 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. Go to transaction RZ20 and create a new monitor under the SRM monitor set created earlier: SAP (CEN ) EnterpriseBuyer
Monitors.

2. On the top level, create a virtual node for each of the following areas:

Approval

Auction

Bid Invitation

Component Planning

Con rmation

Contract Management

Invoice

Others

Procurement Card

Purchase Order

Shopping Cart

User Administration

3. On the second level, enter all MTE classes as rule-based monitors for each area as described in the table below:

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:

Backup and restore for each component

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 ow of your company.

In addition, the backup concept must cover disaster recovery processes, for example, loss of your data center due to re. 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:

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 le 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.

https://help.sap.com/http.svc/dynamicpdfcontentpreview?deliverable_id=21795174&topics=c91a5276b0ee49a29f561ddd4d… 26/46
7/19/2019
Due to the non-transactional character of the document work ow between the different landscape components involved within
one SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) business scenario, it is impossible to nd 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 work ow has ended. Tools offering manageability and monitoring of these tasks
do not yet exist.

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).

Physical Consistency

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 work ows
and outdated documents appearing after the restoration.

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 con guration of the system landscape. We also recommend a backup after changes (this means changes to
the con guration, 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:

Time required for a complete reinstallation

Time required for additional con guration

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 backup-and-restore concept to be able to quickly restore failed systems.

http://help.sap.com/netweaver .

SRM) Landscape
When you plan a backup-and-restore strategy for application, software, and con guration les, you must consider the following
elements:

Operating system

RDBMS data les

RDBMS software

SAP software and le systems

Log les (SAP and other)

Software of other system components ( le systems and con guration les)

Note
A component that has application data (database, for example) also contains application software and con guration
les (runtime infrastructure) that need to be backed up.

A component that contains no application data may still contain con guration les and software that do require a
backup.

Backup and Restore for Operating System,


Software, and Con guration 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 con guration les). 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 con guration data, reinstallation and con guration take
a long time. Therefore, if a backup of the software and con guration 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 les 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 les may not be backed up.

File System Backup Versus Full System Backup


https://help.sap.com/http.svc/dynamicpdfcontentpreview?deliverable_id=21795174&topics=c91a5276b0ee49a29f561ddd4d… 28/46
7/19/2019
A le system backup only applies to speci c les or le systems, whereas a full system backup applies to all les and le systems,
and to the operating system.

Recommendation
We recommend that you perform a full system backup after installation and that you back up the le 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 .

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.

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 les during the day as the log les ll
up.

For the startup sequence of the individual components, see Start and Stopping.

Backup and Restore for an SAP SRM


Business Scenario
To make a backup of an SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) business scenario, you have to apply the backup-and-
restore steps of the components that comprise a business scenario. For these steps, see Backup and Restore for Individual
System Components.

To see which components are required for a speci c business scenario, see Software Component Matrix.

Homogeneous System Copy


For a homogeneous system copy of SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0, the
standard procedures of SAP NetWeaver apply. For more information, see the SAP Community Network at http://www.sdn.sap.com
Home Application Lifecycle Management Technical Enablement Initial Setup System Copy .

Heterogeneous System Copy


Heterogeneous system copies for SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0 are
currently supported on request and on a project basis. For more information, see http://service.sap.com /osdbmigration.

Note
A client copy from one system to another system with different operating system or database is not an alternative to a
complete heterogeneous migration. For example, client copies do not ensure that all repository changes are taken over into the
new sytem. Therefore, if you want to change your SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management
(SAP SRM) 7.0 database or application server platform, a heterogeneous system copy is the only procedure that ensures full
data replication into the new system.

Archiving in SRM UI Add-On


Based on the type of data, archiving in SRM UI Add-On can be broadly categorized into:

Archiving of shopping cart data - transactional data that is in SRM UI Add-On is archived using standard archiving object,
BBP_SC

Archiving of Catalog data - new archiving object SRMNXP_CAT is introduced

Archiving of Shopping Cart and Catalog Data


Tables for Archiving of Shopping Cart Data

The database table that stores the transactional data for the SRM UI Add-On application is /SRMNXP/D_ITMREF. The data from
this table is archived when shopping cart is archived using the archiving object, BBP_SC.

Tables for Archiving of Catalog Data

The database tables that store the catalog data and the related data for the SRM UI Add-On application are:

/SRMNXP/CAT_ITM - main table for catalog

/SRMNXP/ATTCHMNT

The following table describes the business impact for each component of SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM), if
that component should become unavailable.

Component Business Impact if Unavailable

SAP SRM 7.14 Business critical: single point of failure for all scenarios.

SAP LACWPS 6.0 Live auctions will not be available in the Strategic Sourcing scenario.

Business critical impact if the component becomes unavailable


while one or more live auctions are active. The auction outcome
may differ signi cantly from what it would have been if the
component had not become unavailable.

Live auctions do not need to be available 24 x 7.

SAP NetWeaver Process Integration All scenarios using SAP NetWeaver Process Integration will only
have asynchronous messaging available.

Document delivery is delayed but not cancelled.

SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.4 As all scenarios are only available via the Portal, a failure would be
critical.

SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0 follows the general high availability
concept for all SAP NetWeaver-based systems. For more information about high availability and switch-over, see the

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 speci c
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:

Transport and Change Management

Enables and secures the distribution of software changes from the development environment to the quality assurance and
productive environment.

Development Request and Development Release Management

Template Management

Enables and secures the rollout of global templates, including localizations

Quality and Test Management

7/19/2019
Release and Upgrade Management

Reduces the time, costs, and risks associated with upgrades.

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 4for 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 4 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) 7.0 can be used with more than one portal
tenant, and in several different ways.

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).

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.

Other SAP SRM components could be shared with other SAP or non-SRM applications like SAP NetWeaver Process
Integration and SAP NetWeaver Portal.

Development Requests and Development


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

It is an efficient method of transporting a selected number of requests into a group of transport targets, and uses clearly de ned
approval steps to ensure the quality of your target systems.

CA Wily Introscope Integration


Use
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-speci c interaction within Introscope
using the Transaction Trace.

Metrics, which are collected and reported through traces de ned in Probe Builder Directive (PBD) les, de ne 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.
