Monitoring SAP events
Whenever you define an event rule based on an SAP event in your HCL Workload Automation plan, that event is monitored by HCL Workload Automation. Monitoring SAP events is allowed only if you use XPB version 3.0, or later.
HCL Workload Automation monitors
two types of SAP event:
- Events defined by the SAP system
- The events that are triggered automatically by system changes, for example when a new operation mode is activated. This type of event cannot be modified by the user.
- Events defined by the user
- The events that are triggered by ABAP or external processes, for example when a process triggers an SAP event to signal that external data has arrived and must be read by the SAP system. For details about how to trigger events by external processes, refer to Raising an SAP event.
If
you modify the r3batch option files, to make the
changes effective you must stop and restart the extended agent monitoring
processes with the following command. For UNIX only, this command
must be entered by the owner of the HCL Workload Automation installation:
Command syntax >>-r3evman--+-start-+------------------------------------------>< '-stop--'
Where:
- start | stop
- The action to perform:
- start
- Starts monitoring SAP events.
- stop
- Stops monitoring SAP events.
