Precise for SAP Collectors are implemented as NT services (no support is provided for UNIX Collectors). The Collectors can only reside on a Windows OS machine (they do not need to be installed on an SAP application server). See Precise Installation Requirements in the Precise Installation GuideSee Precise minimum requirements for installation.
One Collector can collect data from many remote SAP systems. The Collector stores the data it collects into cache files in the LOG folder.
The following table describes the various Collectors.
Table 1 Collectors
| Collector | Description |
|---|---|
| Workload | The Workload Collector is the most important Collector in Precise for SAP. It performs remote function calls to gather performance information about all SAP systems. The Workload Collector collects:
|
| Availability | The Availability Collector supplies the availability data of each and every application server in all monitored SAP systems. The Collector calls an RFC Ping method to check for application server availability. This data is then written to the cache files and aggregated in the FocalPoint before being loaded into the PMDB. The application server availability data is computed along with the locale availability data to produce overall system availability data. |
| Locale | The Locale Collector supplies network information. When a locale is configured, destination machines are configured for that locale. The Locale Collector pings these destination machines using the TCP/IP method and returns information about the availability of these destinations. This data is then written into the cache files and aggregated by the FocalPoint before loading it into the PMDB. The aggregated data is used as the locale availability information for Precise for SAP. It is also computed together with the application server availability to produce overall system availability data. |
