In SAP Control Center, a resource
is a unique product component or subcomponent that supports monitoring and management by
SCC. A server is the most common managed resource.
Resources you can manage with SCC include servers, agents, databases,
devices, and processes. A managed resource is a product component or subcomponent that
SCC lets you monitor and administer. Two important tools for resource management are the
Resource Explorer and the Perspective Resources view.
- The Resource Explorer lists resources that are registered with
SCC. The list may include resources that you have not yet added to a
perspective. Registration enables SCC to connect to the resource, log in,
retrieve monitoring data, and issue commands. Resources are registered at the
server or agent level, and registering a server or agent makes SCC aware of any
manageable subcomponents such as databases or processes. You can register
resources individually or register several at once by importing them in a batch.
- The Perspective Resources view lists registered resources that
you have added to the current perspective. You must add a resource to a
perspective to manage and monitor its availability and performance.
