5. BusinessObjects connector

Purpose

With the SAP BusinessObjects connector, you can collect information from the CMS and the CMC portal

You need to define one connector per BusinessObject system

To create connector, there are two steps:

Create an OS user and register it in Pro.Monitor

Create and set connector parameters

Create user profile

User profiles can be reached via Systems->SAP users

Create a new profile using the “Add” button

Once created, the user profile can be selected in the connector form

Note: A user profile is by default associated with a company . You can explicitly set a profile to be cross companies. The effect is that it will be selectable from connectors of any companies.

The corresponding user must be created in the system to get access to CMS repository and CMC portal

User must be member of the admin group in order to have the appropriate authorizations.

Create connector

Select the system in the Systems tree and select “Add connector” in its contextual menu, choose ABAP type.

Title : The name of the instance

Central Management Service Host: The CMS’s host

CMS Port: The CMS’s port. By default the port 6400 will be used

Central Management Console Host: This parameter is optional, enter this value if it is different from CMS’s host

CMC port : The CMC’s port. By default the port 80 will be used

Max invalid time: The time in milliseconds that the connection to the CMS isn’t available before sending an alert telling that Pro.Monitor isn’t able to monitor your instance

Max response time: A request’s to the CMS timeout

User: The user’s credentials to use to connect to you instance. If the user don’t exist already use the “Handle users” link

Note:

If the CMS server can only be reached via its FQDN, you might have a failing connection with ERROR code FWM20030. To resolve that issue, you need to map the hostname with its FQDN in the .hosts file
