Agents Administration - Tests
 

Configuration of BobiAJSvrStTest

This test keeps an eye on the current health and status of the Adaptive Job server and alerts administrators at the first sign of an abnormality. In addition, the test also reports the count of threads currently in use, thus providing administrators with early pointers to a potential processing bottleneck on the server.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • Specify the the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

  • Specify the port at which the specified HOST listens to in the PORT text box. This should be the port at which the web application server hosting SAP BOBI listens.

  • Specify the RMI port number of the BOBI monitoring application in the JMX REMOTE PORT text box. To know the RMI port number of the monitoring application, refer to Monitoring SAP Business Objects document.

  • Specify the lookup name for connecting to the JMX connector of the BOBI monitoring application in the JNDI NAME text box. To know the JNDI name, refer to Monitoring SAP Business Objects document.

  • Enter the credentials of an enterprise authenticated BOBI user belonging to the default monitoring users group in the JMX USER and JMX PASSWORD text boxes.

  • Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • Specify the name of the BOBI node being monitored in the NODE NAME text box. Note that the NODE NAME parameter is case-sensitive.

  • To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise suite embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the DETAILED DIAGNOSIS capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

    The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

    • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability
    • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

  • If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
