Adding SAP BusinessObjects Data Services

eG Enterprise is capable of automatically discovering SAP BusinessObjects Data Services. If for some reason, eG Enterprise is unable to auto-discover the SAP BusinessObjects Data Services, then, you will have to manually add the component to the eG Enterprise system. For this, follow the steps below:

  1. Click on the Add Component button in the right corner of the Components at a Glance page that appeared or follow the Infrastructure -> Components -> Add/Modify menu sequence.

  2. Then, select the SAP BusinessObjects Data Services as the Component type and click the Add New Component button. Figure 1 will then appear.

  3. In Figure 1, provide the Host IP/Name of the SAP BusinessObjects Data Services to be monitored. Then, provide a Nick name for the server.

  4. Finally, click the Add button to add the server for monitoring.

  5. Once the SAP BusinessObjects Data Services component is added successfully, you will be again redirected to the Components page (see Figure 2). Using the options provided in the Components page, you can modify, unmanage or delete the newly added component. In addition, you can also configure the tests, set thresholds and maintenance policies, and change the IP address.

  6. To collect the performance metrics, you may need to manually configure the tests that are mapped to the SAP BusinessObjects Data Services. To configure the tests that need manual configuration, click on the icon in Figure 2. This will lead you to the Specific Test Configuration page where the unconfigured tests for the SAP BusinessObjects Data Services will be listed in the Unconfigured Tests list box.
