This page explains how to prepare a SAP Data Services managed system for the execution of the Simple System Integration
Currently the following monitoring application are supported for SAP Data Services systems:
The automatic configure (AC) Tool coming with SAP Solution Manager, is used to prepare different products for SSI. This tool can save considerable time by performing a few steps in the managed system host automatically. These include, for example, automation and, as the case may be, repeated invocations such as LAMA integration, any SAP product SAP Focused Run Installation and configuration integration, such as SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform and SAP Data Services.
For more information, see SAP Note 2137275 - AC Tool release note.
AC Tool supports the following:
AC Tool embeds:
Background:
The C++ process with NCS library sends data to the Diagnostics Agent (via NCS port) and then stores metrics locally, which are forwarded to the solution based on MAI configuration.
In the AC Tool property file, placeholders for NCS (C++) have to be maintained, which define to which ports the processes send their data. In the case of dual operations, you can also add multiple ports in the configuration ncs.conf, (SAP Focused Run and SAP Solution Manager in parallel).
| Task | Actions |
