Sybase Control Center is a Web-based administrative console, which lets you manage and monitor SAP Sybase IQ in a graphical environment.
Sybase Control Center (SCC) includes a Management User Interface, Remote Command and Control Agent, and Web client. The Management User Interface, or SCC server, manages communication between the SCC agent and client. The SCC agent is installed with the SAP Sybase IQ server, and continually broadcasts information about the server to subscribing clients via the SCC server. Messages from an SCC client pass through the SCC server to the agent, which in turn, processes the request on the SAP Sybase IQ server.
SCC activities range from simple resource monitoring to complete database administration. Specific user activities are determined by the role assigned to the user initiating the request.
A single SCC server can monitor up to 100 resources. (The number of resources one SCC server can effectively monitor depends on the complexity of the monitored resources, the frequency of data collection, the number of concurrent SCC users, and the hardware configuration of the host on which SCC is running.) To monitor more than 100 resources, install additional SCC servers and distribute the resources among them. The monitoring limit applies whether you install SCC on the same machine as a managed server or on a dedicated machine.
SCC may collect and store performance data for every server it monitors. Because data collection can use significant quantities of CPU cycles, disk space, and network resources, SCC can affect the performance of other servers sharing the same host machine. Choose your installation location carefully before installing an SCC server on the same host as a managed server in a production environment.
| Location | Description |
|---|---|
|
Dedicated SCC Host |
Installing an SCC server on a dedicated host lets you manage all SAP Sybase servers from a single location. This method is recommended for production environments. |
|
Shared SCC and SAP Sybase IQ Host |
Installing an SCC and SAP Sybase IQ server on the same host. This deployment method is suitable for test environments, but not recommended for production. |
|
Existing SCC server |
Unless the current SCC server is approaching the resource limit or requires an upgrade, a separate SCC server installation may not be necessary. |
If you install SCC on the same machine as an SAP Sybase IQ server, consult the system requirements for both SCC and the SAP Sybase IQ server and make sure that the host machine provides ample CPU, RAM, disk, and network resources for both products. The resources required by an SAP Sybase IQ server vary a great deal based on the server's configuration, as do the resources required by SCC. In general, SCC uses more resources to manage more complex servers. SCC also uses more resources when it is configured to run more frequent data collections.
