Configuring SAP monitoring
To monitor a SAP system, the Monitoring Agent for SAP Applications must connect to an application server in the system to be monitored so that the agent can access the Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) code that is provided with the product.
Before you begin

- The SAP agent does not support non-unicode SAP systems.
- To monitor SAP S/4 HANA 2020 with SAP Basis version 755, implement SAP Note 2767860 on the SAP system.
About this task
The SAP agent is a multiple instance agent; you must create the first instance and start the agent manually.
- To configure the agent on Windows systems, you can use the IBM Performance Management window or the silent response file.
- To configure the agent on Linux or AIX systems, you can run the script and respond to prompts, or use the silent response file.
After you install the SAP agent, you can import the Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) transport on the SAP system to support data collection in the SAP system. For more information, see Importing the ABAP transport on the SAP system.
