Monitoring objects and attributes are assigned various properties. These include:

· An explanatory text

· When and under which conditions Alerts are generated

· The criticality that an alert is assigned

· The maximum number of alerts that are to be stored for an attribute

The properties therefore provide settings options for the alert that can be assigned to a monitoring attribute, and also more detailed information through the assigned message. In the same way as the properties, methods are assigned to a monitoring attribute.

The properties for most monitoring objects and attributes in the monitoring architecture are already predefined and are available in every SAP system. However, you can also change the settings in accordance with your wishes. Your changes to the properties and methods are grouped in properties variants, which prevents an accidental reset of your adjustments when the SAP predefined settings are updated (for example, during an update).

Structure

The properties are divided into two groups:

· General Properties

This includes the assigned message that contains more detailed information about the monitoring object or attribute. As the properties contain the class and the number of the message, you can also make your own changes here.

Setting options for the alerts are also general properties. For a monitoring object, these properties are only valid for the attributes that belong to this object.

· Properties of the Individual Monitoring Attributes

There are five different attribute types in the monitoring architecture, each of which have their own special properties. In this way, you can, for example, define the threshold value only for performance attributes. These properties only exist for monitoring attributes, not for monitoring objects.

You can edit properties both from the alert monitoring tree and from the Customizing transaction RZ21 (see Changing Properties and Method Assignments).

Definition

A monitoring object represents a component of the IT environment that is to be monitored, such as the CPU of a server, the dialog system, or background processing. Monitoring attributes are values, statuses, or texts that are reported to this object, such as the CPU utilization, or the average response time in the dialog system. A monitoring attribute can be assigned an alert. The selection of the monitoring objects is performed using the data suppliers that exist for all areas of system management.

Structure

Monitoring objects and their attributes are displayed in the alert monitoring tree as individual nodes in a hierarchical tree. If the data reported to the monitoring architecture exceeds or falls below the defined alert threshold values, an alert is triggered in the corresponding monitoring tree element.

There are five different types of monitoring attributes:

You can assign methods to monitoring attributes. A method can be a report, a function module, an SAP transaction, or a URL that is to executed as a reaction to an alert. You can execute these methods within the Alert Monitor. If you double click, for example, the MTE for prematurely terminated jobs, the monitoring architecture automatically starts the job management transaction, in which the job reported in the MTE is already selected.

To find the locked objects:-

Look in the tables TLOCK, E070, E071, and E070C. Sometimes, data in these tables can become orphaned, and may need to be processed manually (this is rarely necessary).

When an object is edited by a developer, it is normally locked in a transport request and until the transport is released, the object remains locked for other users to work on that object.

Sometimes it is necessary to unlock the object so that others can work on that modification. Ex: While applying Support Packs. In that case you can follow the steps.

Go to SE03

Run unlock object expert tool:

Check the “Create versions of objects” and “create transport of copies” and execute.

Then developer can be able to edit on this request now.

If option "Set to released" is selected the objects in the transport request is unlocked and the transport request is released.
