by Theo van Kaathoven, Senior SAP Solution Manager Consultant, Certifica Automatisering BV (July 2010)

Key Concept
SAP application management departments monitor SAP systems and try to prevent or discover system disturbances as soon as possible. To ensure that this team can do its job effectively, system monitoring in SAP Solution Manager must be properly implemented and used.

Every SAP application management team sees system monitoring as a crucial task. However, the system monitoring process at an organization often has room for improvement. Sometimes, errors are discovered late, often by end users. Errors should be discovered early or ideally never occur in the first place. SAP Solution Manager can help you manage this.

You might be thinking to yourself, how does SAP Solution Manager do this and where should I start? What functionality within SAP Solution Manager can I use, and with what purpose? I’ll answer these questions and show you how you can use SAP Solution Manager functionality for system monitoring and central system administration (also known as tasklists in SAP Solution Manager) in a complementary way. I then describe a central and integrated approach you can use to set up proactive system monitoring (including both central system monitoring and central system administration).
