Set Configurable Parameters

This topic provides detailed information about Set Configurable Parameters operation available under Master Control Panel

This section allows you to set all types of configuration settings provided under Select Configurations such as:
  • Enable / Disable Logging for Function Modules
  • Performance Improvement for Function Modules
  • Other Configuration settings that include setting of CCMS design, Roll Key Format, MAI configuration, Statistical File
Click on Set Configurable Parameters or icon in the Master Control Panel Main Screen to launch for Set Configurable Parameters.

Logging of Function Modules

Click on Logging of Function Modules or icon in the Set Configurable Parameters to launch Logging of Function Modules.

Features of logging function modules are:
  • Master Control Panel enables Logging of any Function Modules without navigating to database table -/ IBMMON/ITM_CNFG
  • The Application logs generated by applying the settings for the required Function Modules can be accessed using Transaction Code SLG1
  • Function Modules/Attribute groups are populated only if logging mechanism is implemented
  • Logging of function modules displays information in a tabular format that contains
    • Function Module Name
    • Attribute Group Name
    • Logging Status with Traffic light signal – Red or Green
    • Logging status – Logging Enabled/Logging Disabled
  • The Function Modules are displayed according to their nodes with the respective tabs. Nodes are fetched dynamically according to SAP system configurations. For example, SLM node Function Modules are fetched only on systems where MAI is configured, PI node Function Modules are fetched only on systems where Process Integration is configured
Logging of Function Modules enable few operations such as:
  • Enable Logging
    • Click on Enable Logging to enable logging for required Function Modules and click on Enable Logging button
    • The traffic light signal corresponding to the selected Function module turns green if Logging is enabled successfully
    • A success message Logging Enabled will appear on screen indicating that the Logging has been enabled
    • The function modules not having logging as enabled shows a red traffic signal light
    Note: Logging can not be enabled for Function Modules with data collection disabled.
  • Disable Logging
    • To Disable Logging, select the required Function Modules and click on Disable Logging button
    • The traffic light signal corresponding to the selected Function module turns to red traffic light signal if Logging is disabled successfully
    • A success message Logging Disabled appears on screen indicating that the Logging has been disabled.
    • The function modules for which logging is enabled shows a green traffic light signal.
    Note: Logging can not be disabled for Function Modules with data collection is disabled.
  • Select All
    • A Select All button is available at the bottom of the table
    • This operation selects all the entries in the table
    Note: This option does not select the Function module for which data collection is disabled.
  • Deselect All
    • A Deselect All button is available at the bottom of the table
    • This operation lets you deselect all the entries in the table
    Note: This option does not select the Function module for which data collection is disabled.

Performance Improvement

Click on Performance Improvement or icon in the Set Configurable Parameters to launch Performance Improvement window.

Features of Performance Improvement are:
  • Performance Improvement is used when there is large number of data or data fetching is taking long time
  • It populates only those Function Modules/Attribute groups for which Performance Improvement is implemented
  • Data is populated according to nodes and system configurations. For example, SLM node Function Module is populated on systems that do not have MAI configuration and vice versa
  • Performance Improvement displays information in a tabular format that contains:
    • Function Module Name
    • Attribute Group Name
    • Performance Improvement Status with Traffic light signal – Red or Green
    • Buttons for Enable/Disable
    • Value of parameter set in the database table - /IBMMON/ITM_CNFG
  • A single button Enable/Disable is used to enable or disable the functionality.
  • Performance improvement is provided to two Function Modules/Attribute Groups given in the section Data Fetching can be controlled for below attributes
Data fetching can be controlled for attributes such as:
  • Function Module /IBMMON/ITM_JOBS
    • To enable the parameters for this Function module, click on Enable/Disable button.
    • A default time period gets set in the SAP system for fetching Batch Jobs
    • Four configuration options are available under this feature:

        • To enable this configuration, click on the radio button for this corresponding configuration and click on Set Configuration button
        • The traffic light signal corresponding to the configuration option turns to green if configuration parameter is set successfully
        • The total number of rows returned for the Function module are equivalent to the critical constant value set
        • All other Batch Job configuration settings are removed
      2. Fetch all Active Jobs in the system and all Canceled jobs present within the time interval set in the system
        • This configuration setting fetches all Canceled jobs present in the system within the predefined interval set and all Active jobs irrespective of the time interval set
        • To enable this configuration, click on the radio button for this corresponding configuration and click on Set Configuration button
        • The traffic light signal corresponding to the configuration option turns to green if configuration parameter is set successfully
        • The total number of rows returned for the Function module are equivalent to the critical constant value set
        • All other Batch Job configuration settings are removed
      3. Fetch all Active Jobs in the system and all Canceled, Scheduled, Finished, Released, Ready jobs present within the time interval set in the system
        • This configuration setting fetches all Canceled, Scheduled, Finished, Released, Ready jobs present in the system within the predefined interval set and all Active jobs irrespective of the time interval set
        • To enable this configuration, click on the radio button for this corresponding configuration and click on Set Configuration button
        • The traffic light signal corresponding to the configuration option turns to green if configuration parameter is set successfully.
