Summary :
This SAP Note describes how to integrate system availability indicators from the Computing Center Management System (CCMS) into Service Level Reporting in SAP Solution Manager. It details application scenarios such as the inclusion of local or central performance history (CPH) databases for system availability monitoring, setup instructions for CCMSPING agent and RFC connections, and configuration practices for data collection and performance history preparation to ensure accurate SL reporting. Customizing the measurement intervals and specifying a minimum data retention period are emphasized to align with monitoring policies. The note also outlines troubleshooting common issues that could arise during configuration.
