Monitoring the Enqueue Service in CCMS

The enqueue service allows ABAP applications to lock data so that only they can use it. The locking of the data avoids parallel changes to the data, which would lead to data inconsistency. For more information, see Structure linkThe SAP Lock Concept (BC-CST-EQ).

There are two different trees in the monitoring infrastructure for monitoring the enqueue service:

· Enqueue monitor in the SAP CCMS Monitor Templates monitor set

This monitor includes a large number (see below) of monitoring values for the enqueue service. Since the monitor is supplied with values by an ABAP data collection method, the values are updated every five minutes.

· Enqueue subtree in the R3Services subtree of the Entire System Monitor (SAP CCMS Monitor Templates monitor set)

This subtree includes only the most important monitoring values for the enqueue service. Since the data is supplied by an active data supplier directly from the kernel, current data is reported immediately in the monitoring infrastructure.

Owner Names Actual Utilization
(R3EnqueueStatOwnerNamesUtil)

Current number of lock owners in the lock table

Granule Arguments

(R3EnqueueStatGranuleArgPeak)

Maximum number of different lock arguments that have been stored simultaneously in the lock table.

Granule Arguments Actual Utilization
(R3EnqueueStatGranuleArgUtil)

Current number of different lock arguments in the lock table

Granule Entries
(R3EnqueueStatGranuleEntries)

Maximum number of elementary locks that the lock table can contain (each elementary lock occupies one entry)

Granule Entries Peak Utilization
(R3EnqueueStatGranuleEntriesPeak)

Maximum number of elementary locks that have been stored simultaneously in the lock table.

Granule Entries Actual Utilization
(R3EnqueueStatGranuleEntriesUtil)

Current number of elementary locks in the lock table

Update Queue Peak
(R3EnqueueStatUpdQuePeak)

Maximum number of open update requests with locks that has occurred so far

Update Queue Actual
(R3EnqueueStatUpdQueActual)

Current number of open update requests with locks

Total Lock Time
(R3EnqueueStatTotLockTime)

Total time spent in the critical path of the lock table for lock operations

Recent Lock Time (per minute)
(R3EnqueueStatLockTime)

Time spent in the critical path of the lock table for lock operations (in seconds per minute)

Total Lock Wait Time
(R3EnqueueStatTotLockWaitTime)

Total wait time of parallel processes before entering the critical path of the lock table

Recent Lock Wait Time (per minute)
(R3EnqueueStatLockWaitTime)

Wait time of parallel processes before entering the critical path of the lock table (in seconds per minute)

Total Server Time
(R3EnqueueStatTotServerTime)

Total time spent in the enqueue server

Recent Server Time (per minute)
(R3EnqueueStatServerTime)

Total time spent in the enqueue server (in seconds per minute)

Runtime of Data Collector
(R3EnqueueStatDataCol)

Node that is assigned to the data collection method; this is used to monitor the runtime of each data collection

Enqueue Clients

There is one instance with an enqueue service for each system ‑ this instance becomes the central instance of the system because it has this service. This monitoring object contains performance attributes for requests from the other instances to this service.

__
(R3EnqueueClient)

Instance name

EnqueueFreq
(R3EnqueueFreq)

Enqueue operations (logical data locks) per minutes that are coming from another instance to the central instance

Connection to Standalone Enqueue

If the system contains a Structure linkStandalone Enqueue Server, this subtree provides information about the connection to the application server of this standalone enqueue server.

__
(R3HAEnqueue)

Instance name

Description
(R3HAEnqueueText)

Version of the standalone enqueue server

Status
(R3HAEnqueueStatus)

Status of the connection of the instance to the standalone enqueue server

ReplicationStatus
(R3HAEnqueueReplicationStatus)

Together with an enqueue replication server, the standalone enqueue server forms a high-availability enqueue server. If a replication server is installed, its current status is displayed here.

ReplicaAvailability
(R3HAEnqueueReplicaAvailability)

Availability of the replication server. If the server is not installed, the node contains the value 0%.

Log
(R3HAEnqueueLog)

Messages of the standalone enqueue server

Activities

To start the monitor, follow the procedure below:

...

1. Start the Alert Monitor using transaction RZ20 or choose CCMS ® Control/Monitoring ® Alert Monitor.

2. On the CCMS Monitor Sets screen, expand the SAP CCMS Monitor Templates set.

3. Start the Enqueue Server monitor from the list by double-clicking it.

Enqueue Subtree in R3Services

MTE Name
(MTE Class)

Meaning

Enqueue
(R3Enqueue)

Enqueue service subtree

EnqueueClient
