SAP has also released some small improvements in the application operations <\/a>area with SPS12 to increase acceptance and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IT Calendar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

IT Calendar new feature includes simple scheduling to add work modes. Simple scheduling has the benefit to set offset in seconds which define how long until the work mode starts of the current time. Duration is set for how long this work mode lasts in minutes. Simple scheduling also allows to choose multiple systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What has been the standard for IT Calendar can still be accessed from the top right corner when scheduling work mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IT Task Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Notification resources \u2013 New function \u201cWhere Used List for Recipients\u201d allows you to search auto-notifications individual recipients or recipient list and can be replaced or removed much quicker than earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Task Inbox, you can choose multiple tasks and set status for them or assign them rather than choosing individual tasks. Also have new column called \u201cLast Changed At\u201d which shows when the task was last changed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Message Flow Monitoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In message flow monitoring, there are two new columns \u2013 Last RT Component which identifies from where the latest event of an error or a message was received and Status Details which shows the description of the individual status given to a message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, in the Fiori app Message Flow Monitoring, the content of the Message Flow tab page can be exported to an Excel file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Job Monitoring and Job Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SAP Solution Manager 7.2 <\/a>SPS12 can now fetch data from SAP BPA and SM-SE 7.2 certified schedulers via API instead of direct database connection which was limited to SAP BPA by Redwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following functions are possible using the SM-SE 7.2 APIs without direct database connection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Monitoring of Job Type SMSE<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Job Documentation Mass Maintenance function \u201cRead from Scheduler\u201d for job chain hierarchy data<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Central job overview<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In Job Management you can see parent\u2019s ID number and can follow the link to the parent job document if a job document has a parent job document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As for SMSE jobs, job data fetched from managed ABAP system can be enriched via BAdl with scheduling information, such as event name. Having enriched the document with own data, you have the option to avoid the update of a job document by feeding a non-existing job status via operation \u201cFILL_JOB_DOC_DEEP\u201d in BAdl AGS_JSM_JOBDEF_MASSMAINTAIN. This means you can do a validation before the update happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    SAP BPA by Redwood offers the scripts REDWOOD.CONTENT_GenerateProcessChain and REDWOOD.CONTENT_GenerateProcessDefinition to create and update job definitions. To get those scripts, open a ticket in SAP Support Portal on component XX-PART-REDWOOD-BPA. SAP Solution Manager not only uses the \u201ccreate\u201d option, but also of the \u201cupdate\u201d option, so that the job definition is automatically renamed to the name of the scheduled job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When selecting a job document to submit an edit request, before you start entering any data, you are informed if there is an assigned request already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Service Availibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Outages are now created for grey alerts, workmode changes or reconfiguration instead of only green alerts. From the Details of Outage page you can navigate to new screen Alert Details which shows the details of the originating alert and the database table \u201cSAM_BL_ALRT_CONF\u201d is excluded from the availability alerts which should not be recorded as a outage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
