SAP Note 1547201 - CCMS: Start and stop standalone agents

Component : Monitoring -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1547201 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the manual and automatic starting and stopping of standalone CCMS agents either through the operating system or with sapstartsrv alongside the SAP instance. It highlights misconfigurations where agents might improperly load libraries from incorrect directories, leading to start-up failures and potential disruptions during kernel upgrades. It also provides detailed guidance on setting environment variables correctly for various operating systems to ensure proper agent operation. Furthermore, the note covers the use of wrapper scripts under Unix to correctly set paths and the incorporation of agents into the SAP Startup Framework for streamlined administration and consistent environment settings. Automatic and manual controls are discussed, including the integration of agents with instance management for better monitoring and process visibility through SAP Management Console.
