Configuration of BobiDPSPerfTest

This test closely tracks dashboard requests to the server, observes the rate at which the server processes these requests, rapidly isolates probable failures/slowdowns, and promptly alerts administrators to them. This way, the test provides administrators with a heads-up on potentially serious processing bottlenecks on the Dashboards Processing server, so that administrators can work towards preventing them.

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.

  • 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.
