Registering a Data Assurance Server

Register a resource (for example, a server that can be monitored) to make SAP Control Center aware of it and its connection information.

1. In the Resource Explorer, select Resources > Register.
2. Specify:

   Field	Description
   Resource Name	(Required) Name of the resource to register. Enter the actual name of the managed server, using uppercase and lowercase letters. If the name registered in SAP Control Center does not exactly match the server name, some monitoring functions, including the topology view, do not work.
   Resource Type	Select a resource type: Data Assurance Server – monitor Data Assurance server.
   Description	A brief description to help you identify the resource.

3. Click Next.
4. Specify the connection information for your resource:

   Field	Description
   Host Name	Local host name
   Port Number	Local host port number

5. (Optional) Enter a user name and password that SCC can use to authenticate with this resource to retrieve its software version. The credentials are used only for this purpose, then discarded.

   If you prefer not to authenticate now, click I do not want to supply authentication information.

   This step enables SCC to display the correct version information for the server before the server is formally authenticated (later in the configuration process).

6. Click Next.
7. (Optional) Click Add this resource to the current perspective. You must add a resource to a perspective (not necessarily the current perspective) before you can manage or monitor it.
8. (Optional) Click Open the resource explorer to view this new resource. (This option is not present when the Resource Explorer is open.)
9. Click Finish.
