Cloud EWA information

[Former Member]

Hi folks - we have a SM 7.1 sp#7 system hooked up to huge # of managed systems and one of the things we use SM for is the EWA reporting. In working on some issues w/ that recently, I came across this link on the SAP portal

https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/ewaworkspace

I read here that the SAP recommendation is to start using the EWA's here in this "cloud EWA" portal. As opposed to ones sent from our SM systems via email.

"You can read the reports from your SAP Solution Manager or email them to assigned recipients. However, SAP recommends to use the cloud-based SAP EarlyWatch Alert Workspace, the central landing page for a comprehensive overview on your system landscape regarding stability, configuration, hardware utilization and performance. Here you can read the reports in a new format containing all details on alerts and recommendations, drill-downs into KPI time series, and forecasts for possible future issues. It offers comprehensive function for personalization and global search. If you use the Focused Run for SAP Solution Manager solution, reports for Java and SAP BusinessObjects systems can also be found in the SAP EarlyWatch Alert Workspace app."

QUESTION: So I see the ewaworkspace has all the fancy graphical UI but still let's you drill down and find and download the full EWA report. But what's the difference (if any) between these and what's available on the SM system? If they are different - then how are they technically generated?

Thanks

Hi Ben,

1. The main difference is that EWA Workspace provides predictive alerts, that are only calculate at SAP. The predictive use cases are:

- SAP HANA 2 Billion Limit Forecast (https://blogs.sap.com/2018/10/29/the-new-2-billion-record-limit-in-the-sap-earlywatch-alert-workspac... )

- SAP HANA Indexserver Memory Forecast (https://blogs.sap.com/2019/10/01/memory-forecast-for-sap-hana-with-sap-earlywatch-alert-workspace/ )

- SAP HANA Data Footprint Forecast

- Critical ABAP Number Ranges ( in development )

2. Data can be send from managed system or from SolMan, FRun or HANA Cockpit.

Best regards

Susanne
