InfoProviders tab:

  • Displays a table of all InfoProviders that are loaded. The table columns include the InfoProvider name, type, and the number of records updated.

BI Activity pop-up screen:

Displays a 3 column (Component, Duration, and Link) table with two rows:

  • First row: Application.
  • Component column: Request Time in BI.
  • Duration: Total request duration as measured in Precise for SAP.
  • Link: To Precise for SAP (for the request).
  • Second row: Database time (one line for each program identified)
  • Component column: Program name
  • Duration: Duration of program as measured by Precise for DB.
  • Launch: To Precise for DB for that particular program.

 

Launches

Launches are represented by links labeled ‘Analyze’. Launches open in a new window. If components are missing for the launch, a popup screen informs you that the given component is not monitored by Precise. To enable the launch you must configure Precise to monitor the component(s).

Logs

Links to Logs open a pop-up window containing a table with a Timestamp column and a Message Text column. You can either copy the log to the clipboard for future pasting or you can print it directly.

If important messages in the log were identified, a flag is displayed next to the link. We recommend you read the log messages marked with this flag.

If the message information is truncated because of the column width, hover over it with the mouse and a ToolTip will display the complete information.

About the Alerts Table area

The Alerts table is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The vertical space it occupies on the screen can be either expanded or reduced by dragging the Alerts table resizer up or down respectively. This action will accordingly scale up or down the Gantt display without affecting the data being displayed.

The Alerts table includes two tabs: The Alerts and Findings tab and the CCMS Alerts tab.

Alerts and Findings

Precise Alerts raise an alert for any failed Process Chain or any breaches or near-breaches of the SLA. The table displays all alerts raised by Precise.

The time frame for the Alerts table is the Gantt timeframe. The Precise Alerts table displays the following columns:•    Process

  • Process Chain Name – The name of the Process Chain.

...

  • Technical Name – Process Chain Technical Name (Link). Clicking the name on this column triggers a scroll on the Gantt view to focus on the relevant execution.

...

  • Start Time – The Process Chain start time.

...

  • Execution Time – Execution time of the Process Chain.

...

  • Root Cause Analysis – If available, clicking the link on this column displays a popup window with a root cause analysis description.

...

  • Type – SLA breach, Near-breach, or Exception.

Clicking on a column header will sort the column. The table’s default sort is by the Alerts timestamp in descending order.

CCMS Alerts

Precise for BW displays CCMS alerts for the monitored instance. Only CCMS Monitors defined in a configuration file are displayed. The default monitors are:•    BI

  • BI Accelerator Monitor

...

  • BI Key Performance Indicators

...

  • BI Monitor

To add more Monitors, see the Configuring Precise for BW section in the Precise™ Administration Guide.

The left side of the CCMS Alerts tab displays a tree showing a list of active monitors. The right side displays a table showing all the Alerts for the selected entity (monitor) in the tree.

The CCMS Alerts table displays the following columns:•    Status

  • Status – Warning or failed.

...

  • Timestamp – Time of the alert.

...

  • Context – Context in which the alert was raised.

...

  • Alert text – Text of the alert.

...

  • Object name – Name of the object.

...

  • Short name – Short name of the monitored instance.

Clicking on a column header sorts the column. The default sort is by the alerts timestamp, in descending order. Filtering is allowed. If enabled, only nodes that have alerts are displayed. If not, all nodes are displayed. The filter is enabled by default. See “Configuration button” on page 9.

If there are no alerts in the entire tree, a message is displayed. Clicking on a node in the tree displays all the alerts for that node in the tree area. Expanding a node in the tree displays the children of that node in the tree. No change will occur in the table area.

Only open alerts are displayed. Time frame settings have no effect on the list. Closing an Alert or changing its settings from the user interface is not supported.

Pulling alerts from a Central Monitoring instance is supported. This is configured by indicating the instance name in the configuration file. For more information, see the Configuring Precise for BW section in the Precise™ Administration Guide.
