To import the Web transport to the monitored SAP system

1. If it is the first Web instance in the Precise Environment:
   1. On the Precise FocalPoint server, go to the \products\i3FP\distribution source\installer\ folder folder
   2. Extract the files with the following path name from the PSWW_FP_Shared_ALL.zip file: products\www\install\sap\abap
2. Copy the Precise for Web transport files to the SAP System:
   1. Copy the K900112.WS4 file that is located in <i3_root>\products\www\install\SAP\abap\cofiles\ to the appropriated trans\cofiles folder on the SAP system.
   2. Copy the R900112.WS4 file from <i3_root>\products\www\install\SAP\abap\data\ to the appropriated trans\data folder on the SAP system.
3. Import the transport from the SAP GUI. During the import, choose the following options:
   • Leave Transport Request in Queue for Later Import

1. Unzip the contents of the downloaded file to a directory of your choice on the Precise for Precise for Web FocalPoint server.
2. From the directory to which you unzipped the downloaded file, copy the .JAR file(s) to <i3_root>\java\3rd_party directory on your Precise for Web FocalPoint server.
3. If the Precise for Web FocalPoint is installed on Windows, copy the .DLL files from the directory to which you unzipped the downloaded file to <i3_root>\products\www\bin directory on your Precise for Web FocalPoint server.
   If the Precise for Web FocalPoint is installed on UNIX/Linux, copy the .SO files from the directory to which you unzipped the downloaded file to: <i3_root>\products\www\bin directory on your Precise for Web FocalPoint server.
4. Make sure the gateway port between the Precise for Web FocalPoint and the SAP Application Server is open in both directions. The gateway port is 33xx, where xx has to be replaced by the instance number of the SAP Application Server.
5. Maintain the SAP communication ports the services file in:
   • Windows. %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\services
   • UNIX. /etc/services
6. Replace the following <SID> and <instance-number> with the values from your environment:
   sapms<SID> 36<instance-number>/tcp
sapgw<SID> 33<instance-number>/tcp
sapdp<SID> 32<instance-number>/tcp
   e.g. for a SAP system with the SID = PRD and Instance Number 01:
   sapmsPRD 3601/tcp # SAP Message Server
sapgwPRD 3301/tcp # SAP Gateway sapdpPRD
3201/tcp # SAP Dispatcher

...

• Create a Microsoft SQL Server login name with system administrator privileges and a password (. Note that this step is optional for the SQL Server AppTier; you . You may use the Microsoft Windows authentication option instead).
• If you want to use the Recommend/What-If feature in Precise for SQL Server with SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008, make sure to install the SQL Server Client tool on both the Precise for SQL Server FocalPoint and Collector servers.
• When running in remote sampling mode, you are required to must provide the Windows user for login into the remote server. This user should have the sysadmin privilege on the remote server, otherwise the installation will fail.
• For the Precise for SQL Server FocalPoint, you need a user for logging in with the server administration privileges.
• When the PMDB is installed using Windows authentication, you need to provide a user that can connect both to the PMDB and to the monitored instance.

2. Click Setting > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC). (ODBC driver version.)

DB2

...

• Refer to the Precise Support Matrix for information on supported DB2 versions and FixPak levels
• Precise software components are installed on each monitored DB2 server. You require create a dedicated Precise OS user to be created on each monitored server. The name "precise" is used as an example. 
  • Windows. On Windows, generally a domain user is created, who is then granted local administrator permissions as required on monitored servers.
  • UNIX. For UNIX servers, you need to must create a Precise user on every monitored server. For monitored DB2 servers, create the Precise user as follows:
    • Non-null password, not containing special characters, and has a maximum length of 15 characters
    • Connected to the DB2 SYSADM group (as reported by the DB2 GET DBM CFG command)
    • Login shell is ksh, with "dot" (.) in the Path variable
    • The shared library path (LD_LIBRARY, SHLIB_PATH, LIB_PATH) is not set in this user's environment

• For monitoring purposes, the Precise user must have the DBADM and SYSMON privileges or SYSADM privileges

  Info
  The Precise for DB2 AppTier installation creates a schema in either an existing or new tablespace. If you prefer to create a new tablespace, the user must also have DBADM and SYSCTRL privileges or SYSADM privileges.

• When monitoring DB2 on HP, make sure the database default charset isn't roman8 (CP1051)
• Close the Services window in the Control Panel if you are installing on a Windows server

• When performing an upgrade:

  Table 12 Prerequisites

  Application	Needed Downtime	Permissions
  J2EE	Restart of the monitored application server after installing the v9.0 upgrade patch on its server.	Permission to use the operating system user of the Web/application server.
  Web	Restart of the monitored application server after installing the v9.0 upgrade patch on its server.	Permission to use the operating system user of the Web/application server.
  Tuxedo	If the CORBA Interceptor DLL has been deployed, the Tuxedo domain will need to be shut down for the duration of the upgrade on the Tuxedo server.

• When performing an installation:

  Table 13 Prerequisites

  Application	Needed Downtime	Permissions	Manual actions
  J2EE	Restart of the monitored application server after installing the v9.0 agent for it.	The Web/application server operating system user must have permission to read/write from the Precise installation directory (a.k.a. the <i3_root> directory) and all of its sub folders. It is therefore highly recommended that the Precise operating system user shares the same group as the Web/application server operating system user.
  Web	Restart of the monitored application server after installing the v9.0 agent for it.	The Web/application server operating system user must have permission to read/write from the Precise installation directory (a.k.a. the <i3_root> directory) and all of its sub folders. It is therefore highly recommended that the Precise operating system user shares the same group as the Web/application server operating system user.	To be performed using the operating system user of the Web/application server at the end of the the installation process, before terminating the downtime: Editing the Web/application server configuration files (e.g. server.xml, httpd.conf, etc.) For monitoring a J2EE application the additional actions will also be required: Editing the application server startup script for adding Precise classes to the JVM classpath. Editing the Web descriptor (web.xml inside WAR or EAR) of the application.
