Defining Operation Modes

Use

You can define a new operation mode or change an existing operation mode.

Procedure

...

1. Choose CCMS ®Configuration ®Operation Modes/Instances, or call transaction RZ04.

The system displays a list of productive instances.

If you have not yet defined any operation modes, the test operation mode DUMMY will be displayed. This operation mode is automatically configured so that system functions such as the Control Panel and the scheduling of background jobs can be used.

If there is already a DUMMY operation mode, this is updated every time that the server is started, and is therefore adjusted to different system relationships.

The operation mode DUMMY cannot be used for operation mode switching.

2. Create an operation mode (which can be automatically switched).

To do this, choose Operation Mode ® Create.

3. Enter the data in the following fields:

Operation Mode	Enter a name for the operation mode, such as DAY_OPERATION, and a short description. You can enter any name for the operation mode, but it is advisable to choose a name that is meaningful and that makes the task of the operation mode clear.
Short Description	Enter a short description of the operation mode, such as “Day operation with 6 dialog processes”.
Monitoring Properties Variant	Enter the name of the monitoring properties variant in monitoring architecture assigned the operation mode. When the operation mode is started, the settings that the monitoring properties variant contains are automatically activated in the alert monitor.

4. Save the data by choosing Operation Mode ® Save.

5. Repeat this procedure for all required operation modes.

When you have defined and saved your operation modes, you can define the instances and servers.

You can call the operation mode maintenance from the Control Panel.
