7. MaxDB Connector

Purpose

  • Use this connector to connect directly to a MAXDB Database.
  • It will give access to all components that can be monitored through Pro.Monitor MAXDB monitors
  • To create a MAXDB connector, there are two steps:
    • Create a user profile in the database and register it in Pro.Monitor (Pro.Monitor SAP User)
    • Create and set connector parameters
  • Pro.Monitor MAXDB connector uses JDBC to connect to the Database and SQL queries to inquire the database

Creating a SAP user profile

  • SAP 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 SAP User is by default associated with only one Group (Company). You can explicitly set a SAP User to be cross companies.

The effect is that it will be selectable from connectors of any company.

  • The corresponding user must be created in SAP along with the appropriate authorizations.

Installing driver

  • You must install MaxDB JDBC driver to connect to a MaxDB database
  • Driver can be downloaded from maven repository
  • Navigate to Setting→Updload/Download, and select upload other driver

Creating the connector

  • Select the system in the Systems tree and select “Add connector” in its contextual menu, then select “MAXDB” type.
  • MAXDB connector input form will allow you configure it (see image below)
    • Title : This label will help you to identify the connector
    • Database host: the hostname or IP address of the System Database server
    • Database Port: the database port (Default 7200)
    • Database Name: Database to connect to
    • User: the SAP user profile to use for the connection
    • For specific settings “Use SSH tunnel” and “Custom timeout” see below section “Setting specific configuration”
  • Press Save & Test to save the profile and check the connection is working

SSH

  • In case you must connect to a database through an SSH tunnel, you can enable the SSH option and fill the parameters:
    • Host: The host where the entrance of the tunnel is created.
    • Port: The local port of the SSH tunnel
    • User: The user to authenticate on the SSH end point.

Custom timeout

Creating a DB user with Read access on table in MaxDB

  • SYSDBA.MONITOR_LOCK
  • SYSINFO.DATAVOLUMES
  • SYSINFO.DATASTATISTICS
  • SYSINFO.LOGSTATISTICS
  • SYSINFO.CACHESTATISTICS
  • SYSINFO.INSTANCE
