Configuring SAP NetWeaver Java Stack monitoring

You must configure the SAP NetWeaver Java™ Stack agent so that the agent can collect resource monitoring data of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server that is being monitored. To monitor transaction tracking and diagnostics data, you must complete some configuration tasks.

Before you begin

Review the hardware and software prerequisites, see Software Product Compatibility Reports for SAP NetWeaver Java Stack agent

Ensure to complete the following prerequisites tasks before you configure the agent:
  • Copy the following JAR files to the bin directory:
    • sapj2eeclient.jar (the SAP J2EE Engine client API that includes the JMX Adapter)
    • logging.jar (the logging library)
    • com_sap_pj_jmx.jar (the SAP-JMX library)
    • exception.jar (the SAP exception framework)
    The bin directory is at the following path:

    Windowscandle_home\TMAITM6_x64

    Linuxcandle_home/interp/sv/bin

    Important: The JAR files are the same for all the supported operating systems. These files are available in the Diagnostics Agent patch or Software Update Manager (SUM).
  • In Environment Variables, add <candleHome>\svdchome\<build number>\toolkit\lib\win64\ttapi to path variable.
  • To enable Transaction tracking and Diagnostic Data feature, install and configure agent along with Data Collector on SAP NetWeaver Java Server. If the SAP NetWeaver Java Server is Multi Host – Multi Instance then agent needs to be installed and configured along with Data Collector on each host for which Transaction Tracking and Diagnostic Data needs to be enabled.
  • Assign the NWA_READONLY role to the Guest user for collecting the transaction tracking and diagnostics data.

About this task

The SAP NetWeaver Java Stack agent is a multiple instance agent. You must create the first instance and start the agent manually.
  • To configure the agent on Windows systems, you can use the GUI or the silent response file.
  • To configure the agent on Linux® or AIX® systems, you can use the command line or the silent response file.
To configure the collection of transaction tracking and diagnostics data, complete the following tasks:
  1. Configure the data collector. For details, see Configuring the data collector.
  2. Enable the collection of transaction tracking and diagnostics data. For details, see Enabling the collection of transaction tracking and diagnostics data.

The directions that are mentioned in this topic are for the most current release of the agent, except as indicated. For information about how to check the version of an agent in your environment, see Agent version.
