• 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:
  1. Create an OS user and register it in Redpeaks
  2. Create and set connector parameters

• 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.

• 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 Redpeaks 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
