V3.0 SP4 includes the following features:
New utilities
Self monitoring/protection utility
Issues in monitored systems, such as missing authorization, RFC interface changes between SAP versions, and resource constraints (CPU, memory, etc.), may cause data provider functions to dump in remote monitored systems. This new self monitoring/protection utility records and alerts on dumps caused by data collection, and stops data collection on the affected remote system until the issues are resolved.
The utility includes the following components:
- Monitors RFC calls to remote systems. Captures any System Failure exceptions and records Data Provider Name, RFC Destination, and Remote Function Module in the
/NEWR/PROTECTIONtable. - Collects error messages and sends them to the New Relic platform as log entries (
LOGTYPE = 'NR.RFC.CALL.STATUS.LOG'), which can be used to create alerts. - Skips the failed Data Provider + RFC destination combinations in future data collection runs, until the issues are resolved and removed from transaction
/NEWR/PROTECTION.
New Relic account ID field
A New Relic Account ID column has been added to the Monitored System Configuration screen. The Monitored System/Database can now send data to a default New Relic account. If left blank, the collection job determines which New Relic account receives the data.
Bug fixes
- HANA database connection instances are now released after each SQL query and recreated for the next query. This resolves an issue where too many database connections were created for HANA data providers.
