Configuration parameters of the agent
When you configure the SAP agent, you can change the default value of the parameters, such as the SAP hostname and the SAP system number.
| Parameter name | Description | Mandatory field | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAP Hostname (Primary) | The host name of the SAP application server to which the agent connects. If your SAP servers communicate over a private LAN, the computers that host the servers have two or more network cards. For the host name, enter a name by which the application server can be reached from external systems, such as the SAPGUI logon. Do not use the private LAN host name. The default value is the host name where the agent is installed. | Yes | saphost.domain.com |
| SAP System Number (Primary) | The two-digit SAP system or instance number that is used for connecting to a SAP host server. The default value is 00. | Yes | |
| SAP Hostname (Alternate 1) | The second choice for the host name if the primary host is unavailable. | No | |
| SAP System Number (Alternate 1) | The system number for the host name of the first alternate. | No | |
| SAP Hostname (Alternate 2) | The third choice for the host name if both the SAP Hostname (Primary) and SAP Hostname (Alternate 1) hosts are unavailable. | No | |
| SAP System Number (Alternate 2) | The system number for the host name of the second alternate. | No | |
| SAP Client Number | The SAP client number for the RFC logon to SAP. The default value is 000. If the IBMMON_AGENT user that is generated by ABAP is used, enter the client number that was specified in the transport import. This number is the same as the nnn client number under the profile. | Yes | |
| SAP User Id | The SAP user ID for the RFC logon to SAP. The default value is IBMMON_AGENT, which is the predefined user ID that is created during the import. | Yes | |
| SAP User Password | Use the default password or specify a different password. |
Yes | |
| Confirm SAP User Password | The password that is specified in the SAP User Password field. | Yes | |
| SAP Language Code | The language code that indicates the language that the agent uses when it connects to the SAP system. The specified language determines the language in which you see SAP information, such as alert messages, syslog messages, and job log messages. All SAP systems are delivered in English and German. If you require a different language, confirm with your SAP administrator that the language is installed on the SAP system. If you specify a language that is not supported, the agent cannot connect to the SAP system. The following languages and codes are supported:
|
Yes | |
| RFC Trace | The Remote Function Call (RFC) trace setting for the SAPTRACE variable. When you select this check box, you activate the RFC tracing and the default value is no RFC tracing. For the command line, 2 = No trace and 1 = Do trace. Because the RFC tracing generates extensive diagnostic information, use it carefully. For more information about the RFC tracing, contact IBM support. | No | |
| SAP Logon Group | The name of the SAP Server Logon group. | Yes | |
| SAP Message Server Name | The host name of the SAP message server. | Yes | |
| SAP Message Service | The name of the service where the SAP message server is located. You must include service names in the following operating system services files:
|
Yes | You might use the message service name sapmsTV1, or the full message service port number 3601. |
| SAP Route String | Specify the SAP router string if you want access to the SAP server with a SAP router. |
No | The router string /H/host/H/ must be in the following format:
/H/beagle/H/ |
