• Business Service Management (PDF)

Business Service Management

• Business service as collection of technical services (cloud service tenants or system clients) to represent business functionality
• Definition of customer specific maintenance events at business service level
• Propagation of externally communicated maintenance, disruptions or degradation events e.g. as exposed by Cloud Availability Center from technical services to business services as resulting business up/down times
• Definition of service times based on service level agreements/ service contracts on business service level -> Measurement of actual availabilities at technical service level and consolidation to business service level -> Calculation of compliance to defined SLA's on business service level
• IT related events e.g. maintenance notification defined at business service level will be cascaded down to technical service level e.g. users of involved technical services will receive maintenance notification

• Intelligent Event Processing (PDF)

Intelligent Event Processing

• Intelligent and unified processing of events coming from SAP Cloud ALM, other SAP sources or 3rd party senders (inbound unification)
• Centralized and simplified configuration for event handling and routing rules (outbound unification) e.g. usage of same communication rules for alerting & business service management
• Handling of events independently from Monitoring & Alerting, Event management focuses on Application & Business Process Operation events
• Provides foundation of intelligent correlation of events coming from different sources e.g. correlation of manually generated with automatically generated alert
