To understand the workflow,
suppose there is an SAP server called Server1. A system administrator
defines Server1 and its library metadata in SAS Management Console.
You need to give the server details in the preprocglobal.sas program
in the initialization job 0010 Step 1 Select Single SAP Server in
SAS IT Resource Management that monitors the server. Thereafter, the
system administrator deploys the jobs to extract performance data
for Server1 on a regular hourly basis.
Next, SAS code calls
an SAP ABAP function directly or calls an ABAP function provided by
SAS to extract performance data from Server1. The SAS code assembles
the performance data into logical SAS tables in the Rawdata library.
The table populates
SAS IT Resource Management IT data marts. Reports containing the extracted
performance data from Server1 are generated for SAS IT Resource Management.
