For a NetWeaver server, complete the following pre-installation
steps.
- Manually back up your NetWeaver database. Use the database admin
user, such as db2j2e.
- Make sure the NetWeaver system is running.
- You need to gather the information of the directories of the Server
Home, the Central Instance Home, and the Central Instance
Network Home. For detailed information about the directories described,
please refer to Three installation types of ITCAM for J2EE Data Collector for NetWeaver.
- Make sure you have got the system ID and the instance name.
- For silent installation, use the configtool to get the server
ID to be monitored.
- You should know the Java™ Naming
and Directory Interface (JNDI) port. The JNDI port is a P4 port of
the NetWeaver server to be monitored.
- If distributed dialog instance installation is selected as the
installation type, mount the Central instance home on central
instance computer to a local directory (For example, the absolute
path of Central instance home on central instance computer
on is C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00, You should map or mount it to a local directory,
such as \\<hostname>\usr\sap\J2E\JC00 or Y:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00),
and make sure you have the writing rights. Where <hostname>
is the IP address or qualified host name of the central instance computer.
- On Linux and UNIX systems the following requirements apply:
- The admin users for every SAP NetWeaver instance must belong to
the same group (for example, sapsys). Run the ITCAM Agent for J2EE
installation program as a user belonging to the same group.
- To configure each SAP NetWeaver instance that you need to monitor,
run the Data Collector configuration tool using the admin user for
the instance.
Important: For paths, always use the backslash (\) on Windows systems and the forward
slash (/) on Linux and UNIX systems.
