• Is a powerful solution for customers & partners to operate their solution centralized and highly automated with minimal TCO impact

• Addresses advanced customer needs in scalability, data volumes, security, automation, openness, dashboarding & artificial intelligence

• Uses the full power of SAP HANA as a platform, including replication, partitioning, predictive analytics, and compression

• Is a separate installation, which can run side-by-side with an existing SAP Solution Manager

• Provides feature rich and powerful functionality dedicated to operations of IT solutions

• Isn’t covered by maintenance fee, but needs to be licensed separately from SAP

SAP Focused Run and

SAP Focused Run - Your Immediate Benefits

Highest possible security levels

• Proven built-in security concept with HTTP(S) as

communication protocols and push as communication

direction

• Clear separation of different customers with multi-

tenancy enablement

Small technical footprint and

reduced total cost of ownership

• Extremely simplified architecture through removal of

J2EE Stack, SAP BW, SAP CRM, DBA Cockpit,

Extractor Framework, SLD (optional)

• Streamlined push based communication (no RFC,

no native DB, no RMI/P4)

Improved scalability, performance,

and data throughput

• Scalability improved by factor 25 – up to 25,000 systems!

• Performance increased by factor 15

• Data throughput increased by factor 40

• Data footprint decreased by factor 20

Maximum of automation during assignment

and maintenance of managed systems

• Simple Diagnostic Agent is embedded in SAP Host Agent

• Automated preparation as well as automated

assignment of managed systems (UI driven or API driven)

• Automatic reconfiguration as reaction to auto-discovered

landscape changes

Advanced Integration Monitoring


Big Picture

✓ provides one central

overview of data

exchange processes at

application level in

cloud-only and hybrid

scenarios

✓ end-to-end monitoring

across all SAP

applications and major

technology services

✓ closing the gap

between business and

IT


How does it work and Usage Scenario

Integration & Cloud

Monitoring

Capabilities


Example: Monitoring via Integration & Cloud Monitoring

By analyzing Messages per System the following questions can be answered:

What is the message distribution for my business systems?

How many erroneous messages do I have in a

specific system and what is the current trend?



Get a detailed status overview per business system on the

incoming/outgoing messages for different interfaces

Define on the fly which aggregated view you would like to

have on your data



Drilldown to single messages to check individual issues and

message details

Check status history and important payload fields for

the selected message



Get an overview on exceptions, usage and

performance of scenario related end-to-end message

flows.

Drill down to the graphical

visualization of the single end-to-

end messages flow.


Example: Analytics via Integration & Cloud Monitoring

Get an overview on historical data for the different integration types to identify

trends and compare different time periods.


Example: Tracking via Integration & Cloud Monitoring

Where is my document? Use the new Enhanced Document Tracking feature to find your document

independent on categories and components


Example: Alerting via Integration & Cloud Monitoring

Get an overview on scenario related alerts. Use

forward navigation to analyze the alerts in the Alert

Inbox

Handle alerts with action like Add Comment,

Assign Processor, …


Integration & Cloud MonitoringAdditional Features – Scope Selection

The Integration & Cloud Monitoring offers an advanced scope selection.

As application support users you can open the

application via systems and cloud service selections

As integration owner you can open the application

via scenario‘s selection


Integration & Cloud MonitoringAdditional Features – Personalization

Customers can create their own pages by defining which views

they would like to see and what shall be visualized within a view.


Integration & Cloud MonitoringAdditional Features – Exception Monitoring 1/3

Get an overview on the integration relevant exceptions in your hybrid scenarios and check which area

currently has the highest number of issues.

Check integration relevant exceptions that occur on the on premise systems as well as exceptions which

are related to SAP public cloud services.



Drilldown for a specific category to see all single exceptions for the

specified time range and scope.

Check how the exceptions for the selected category

evolved over time.



Drilldown for a specific single exceptions to see all relevant

context information for the error occurred.
