PCo Monitoring

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I m trying to achieve Pco monitoring in SAP MII 12.2. I m refering following document:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_pco21/helpdata/en/f2/b1d0e885284db2baabef7eea15373e/content.htm

I m able to do the Alert Configuration using active monitoring.

But what condition should i check in MII transaction or which parameter from remote monitoring will tell me that PCo is down?

I want to send e-mail once PCo is down.

Please suggest steps for MII transaction.

Hi Neha,

When you enable active monitoring for any agent, follow these steps:

Configure MII system details and test the connection.

Click Refresh button and this would list all the projects in MII system

Choose a transaction and choose its input parameter( your transaction should have a input type transaction property).

This transaction would be called when the PCo agent will be down(Active monitoring checks every 60 seconds whether the agent instances are running)

The input property which you selected in the transaction would receive the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

<pcoAgentInstance name="<Agent Name>" node="<PCo System Name>" state="<State of the Agent>" utctimestamp="27.08.2013 18:14:54"/>

So you can use the Send Mail Action block in MII to send the mail and you would get the information from PCo in the input property of transaction.

See the following thread for more information about sending mail from MII:

Hi Rohit,

Thank you for quick reply.

I have configured PCo instance with transaction path in Remote Client.

In transaction,i have writen file which will give me details of XML which you have mentioned.

I have manully stopeed PCo instance.

But i m not able to see that file in specified folder.

How this remote monitoring will work? Will it automatically give XML to our input variable?

Please suggest.

Thanks,

Hi Neha,

When ever the PCo Agent would go down(error status) then this configured MII transaction would be called and the XML would be automatically passed to  the input parameter of the transaction.

Also when you manually stop the agent, then this monitoring will not work i.e. configured MII transaction will not be called.

Whenever you configure the MII transaction in the Active monitoring popup in PCo, at that time also PCo calls the MII transaction. You can use this for testing the transaction.

Also to see whether transaction was called or not, use the Transaction Manager screen. Entry for running of the transaction would be there if transaction runs.

Hi Rohit,

I have configured transaction in the Active monitoring popup in PCo which is in error state. Also checked the entry of running transaction in Transaction Manager screen.

But still i m not able to see entry in Transaction Manager screen.Also write file in transaction is not created which i have created for testing.

Is there any more configuration required?

Where my logic is going wrong?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Neha,

These are the steps which i did:

1. Open PCoRemoteClient and add PCo system for monitoring.

2. Right click on the agent you want to monitor and choose "Enable Active Monitoring".

3. Fill the data in the pop-up:

First test the connection and then click the refresh button.

This would refresh the MII project list.

Select a transaction and input parameter of the transaction as shown in the above picture.

4. Click "Ok". This will execute the transaction and you can check the Transaction Manager screen.

Hi Neha,

Sorry I should have asked you the MII version.

I was trying on MII 14.0.

I will try on 12.2 and let you know.
