Setting Up the CCMS

The Computing Center Management System (CCMS) is shipped to every customer site pre-configured so that all internal functionality is intact. The consistency and/or accuracy of this functionality depends heavily on how the customer first configures the operation mode environment.

If operation modes, instances, or the timetable are not correctly defined, the CCMS will not display meaningful data. For example, the Job Scheduling Monitor will not be able to determine where background processes are running, the Alert Monitor may report improper operation of modes.

Before you can work with the CCMS, it must be set up correctly. You must define at least one operation mode.

To set up the CCMS:

From the main R/3 menu select Tools ® CCMS ® Configuration ® OP Modes/Servers.

Alternatively, use transaction code RZ04 .

The screen CCMS: Maintain Operation Modes and Instances is displayed. From this screen, you can create and change operation modes and instances.


If no operation modes have been defined, the test operation mode DUMMY will be displayed. This operation mode is configured automatically so that system functions such as the Control Panel and background job scheduling can be used.

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

Existing operation modes are listed as they were previously defined. For example, you may see one or more operation modes for daytime operation and one or more for nighttime operation.

To ensure the data accuracy of the system being monitored, you must define at least one operation mode and maintain the timetable.


  1. Define an operation mode

  2. Define the instances for the operation mode

  3. Maintain the timetable
