1 Installation Overview
This document covers the installation and configuration of Introscope in the following chapters: Installation Overview Upgrading previous versions to Introscope 7.1 Installing Introscope Enterprise Manager Introscope-enabling SAP J2EE Systems (Agent Installation) Optional: Installing Introscope Workstation Optional: Installing Introscope WebView on NetWeaver Environment Performance Agent installation Optional Configuration Steps
Introscope Overview
Introscope is a system management application created to manage Java Application performance. Unlike development tools, Introscope is designed to scale with minimal performance impact. This allows you to monitor and manage your application performance in live production environments. You are installing Introscope as part of SAP Solution Manager to give SAP support better visibility into technical issues you may experience. You will also get access to Introscope so that you can analyze performance problems on your own.

Reviewing the Installation and Configuration Process

You will be installing the following Introscope components: Introscope Enterprise Manager (server component) The Enterprise Manager is typically installed on the Solution Manager host. Alternatively, you can install the Enterprise Manager on a separate host. The memory and CPU requirements for the Enterprise Manager depend on the number of Introscope Agents that you connect and on the complexity of the monitored systems. Typically, for up to ten agents, the default configuration using 512MB Java heap (about 600MB main memory) will suffice. For about twenty additional agents, add 512MB of Java heap to a total of 1024MB (allow 1500MB main memory). More details on Enterprise Manager Sizing and self-monitoring can be found in the FAQ attached to SAP Note 797147. Introscope Java Agent (on the managed systems) The installation files have to be copied to each monitored host once. For each Java server node you set Java VM parameters to activate the agent. After activation by restarting the Java VM, the agent runs within the Java process of the monitored system. Introscope Environment Performance Agent (on the managed systems) The Environment Performance Agent is installed once per host. It runs in a separate Java process to collect data on operating system level, e.g., from saposcol and TREX. The EPAgent generates less load on the Enterprise Manager than a normal agent. For this reason, it should not be included in the memory sizing calculation above. Optionally, you can install the Introscope Workstation on the Enterprise Manager host or any client PC and/or deploy Introscope WebView on the SAP NetWeaver Web Application Server). See the next section for recommendations about the UI for Introscope.
Deciding About the UI for Introscope

There are four different options to access Introscope: 1. Introscope Workstation: Swing-based client user interface, full functionality a. Explicit installation on the client PC on which you want to use it (see Chapter 5). b. Use Java WebStart to download it on demand from the Enterprise Manager. Requires Java 5 (no installation necessary), default URL: http://emhost:8081/workstation. The workstation will be downloaded only once and is then cached on the client PC. For every new start of the Workstation the cached version is checked against the Enterprise Manager and, if the Enterprise Manager was updated, a new version is downloaded automatically. 2. Introscope WebView: Browser-based user interface, uses Adobe SVG plugin. In some details limited functionality.
Page 4
Introscope Installation for SAP a. Use the WebView that is available by default on the Enterprise Manager (no installation necessary), default URL: http://emhost:8081/webview. b. Deploy WebView on top of SAP Netweaver (see Chapter 6). In general using the Workstation should be preferred to WebView since it is more powerful. The most convenient option is to use 1b (Launch Workstation via Java Webstart). The binaries are then only downloaded once and after that cached on the client PC. You may also decide to install the workstation explicitly on your client PC (1a). If you decide using WebView 2a) is recommended. Deploying WebView on NetWeaver (2b) is normally not needed.
Introscope Access
After installation, you can use the following default credentials to access Introscope:

2 Upgrading from Previous

Versions to Introscope 7.1
Version Compatibility and Upgrade Sequence
The Introscope Enterprise Manager 7.1 supports Introscope Agents of older releases. In other words, you can connect with agents of different versions (e.g. version 5, 6, and 7) to Enterprise Manager Version 7.1 at the same time. Connecting a new version 7.1 agent to an older Enterprise Manager does not work. WebView, Workstation, and Enterprise Manager must always have the same version and patch level. Connecting WebView and Enterprise Manager of different versions does not work. When using older agents with a newer Enterprise Manager, some charts on the Console may remain empty because the SAP customizing assumes that Agents and Enterprise Manager have the same version. Due to this version dependency we recommend to upgrade sequence: 1. Upgrade Enterprise Manager, Workstation, and WebView first. This can be done without impact on any monitored systems. Since WebView is running as part of the Enterprise Manager an explicit upgrade of WebView is not needed unless you deploy WebView on NetWeaver, which is discouraged. 2. Then upgrade the Introscope agents in the monitored systems at your convenience. Upgrading the agents will require a restart of the monitored systems. This chapter explains the options to upgrade an Introscope installation to Introscope 7.1. If you are performing a fresh installation, please proceed to the next chapter.
Enterprise Manager Upgrade

There is no tool support for an in-place upgrade of the Enterprise Manager. If you want to keep the performance database (SmartStor) of the previous version or any other configuration settings and if you want to keep the old location, the following procedure is recommended: Shut down the Enterprise Manager via the Windows Services Control Panel or kill on Unix. Back up your Enterprise Manager directory, e.g. /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope. If you want to keep the historical performance data, move the directories /data and /traces to a new location in the filesystem. Windows only: Launch the uninstaller via the Windows Start Menu, e.g. Introscope 7.1 Uninstall Introscope
Page 7
Introscope Installation for SAP Move the remaining files from the old installation to a different location, e.g. from /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope to /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope.old Perform the new installation to the same directory (/usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope) again using the procedure described in the next section. Make sure you also extract the new management modules files (SAPISMM*.SAR) as described in the next section. Shut down the newly installed Enterprise Manager in case it was launched after the installation. Remove the subdirectories /data and /traces from the new installation if they exist. They will only be created if the Enterprise Manager is started. Copy or move the old subdirectories /data and /traces to the new location. Be aware that the traces database will be migrated to a new format when the Enterprise Manager is launched. As an alternative, you may also decide to drop the /traces directory completely instead of migrating it. Manually transfer any custom management modules (located in /config/modules) from the old to the new location. But do not overwrite newly installed standard SAP modules with older versions. Manually transfer any customization (Java VM parameter in file Introscope Enterprise Manager.lax or EMService.conf or runem.nohup.sh, other properties in file config/IntroscopeEnterpriseManager.properties). Do not replace the new configuration files with the old copies since you may then loose any newly introduced properties. Instead, copy and paste any customization from your old files.
Agent Upgrade
All agent installations and upgrades can (and should) be done centrally by the administration tools of Solution Manager. The only manual steps are to restart the managed systems after any configuration change and to undeploy the JmxService J2EE application (com.wilytech.jmxservice), which is no longer needed. In case you want to do a manual upgrade, to get rid of any obsolete files we recommend performing a fresh installation, e.g. by moving the old agent installation to a different directory. Since some agent files are locked while the monitored system is running, the monitored system must be down for the agent upgrade. Also for the manual upgrade, the JmxService J2EE application is no longer needed starting with release 7.1p9 of the Introscope agent. Please undeploy the old version with SDM.
WebView Upgrade
Note that starting with Introscope 7.1 the Enterprise Manager already contains an embedded WebView that is run as part of the Enterprise Manager Java process. It is no longer necessary to deploy it on NetWeaver. You may want to simply undeploy the old version of WebView on NetWeaver (com.wilytech.webview). As a consequence, WebView running in the Enterprise Manager is by default reached via the URL
Page 8
Introscope Installation for SAP http://emhost:8081/webview. The former URL http://smdhost:5xx00/webview is no longer valid for this operating mode. If you want to run WebView on NetWeaver anyway, deploy the new version in the same way as the old version. However, before you deploy the new version you need to undeploy the old version and restart the J2EE server. See also the FAQ.

3 Installing the Introscope

Enterprise Manager
Installation User
You should run the installer with the same user account that will be used later on for running the Enterprise Manager. In particular, on Unix operating systems do not use the root account to launch the installer. A common best practice is to use the sidadm user of the Solution Manager installation to install and run the Enterprise Manager. To install the Introscope Enterprise Manager, you will run the installer file and add some SAP customization (management modules, scripts, etc.).
Choose the Enterprise Manager Installer File

Depending on the operating system on which you want to install the Enterprise Manager, different installation files must be chosen. The first table below lists the platforms for which a platform specific installer with a bundled Java VM is available. If you find your operating system listed here, download the file SAPISEM*.SAR from the corresponding folder on the Service Marketplace (see Note 797147 for the exact location). The file names listed below may vary slightly for patch updates to the Enterprise Manager.

Platform Independent Introscope Installer

If you do not find your operating system in the table above, you can use the generic installer for the operating systems listed below. Installation includes one additional step then: 1. Install a Java 5 VM 2. Launch the OS-independent installer The operating system independent installer is contained in the file SAPISEM71.SAR of the folder #OS independent on the Service Marketplace.

Extract and Run the Introscope Installer

Extract the SAR file with the following command: SAPCAR xvf SAPISEM*.SAR As a result you will find two files: The file installer.properties which configures the installation procedure and one of the installer files mentioned above, depending on your platform. The Introscope installer will perform an automated install of Introscope components. The Introscope installer is invoked from the command line and runs silently, getting its input from the response file installer.properties. The installer runs in the background as it installs Introscope components, and doesnt provide any feedback. After installation, you can check the results in the installer logs. When launching the installer, make sure the installer.properties file is in the same directory as the .exe / .bin / .jar file!
Optional: Configuring the Installation Directory

The installation of the Enterprise Manager by default goes to the following directories: Windows: C:\usr\sap\ccms\wilyintroscope Unix / i5/OS: /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope If you want to change this directory, e.g., because your SAP installation is located on a different Windows drive, use one of the following alternatives. Note: Use slash (/) as path separator for all platforms, including Windows!
Alternative 1: Set the Installation Directory via Command Line Option

1. Open a command prompt and go to the directory where the installer file and the file installer.properties are located.
2. Add the option DUSER_INSTALL_DIR=<installation directory> to the invocation of the installer (see below), .e.g.,
introscope7.1windows.SAPEndUser.exe DUSER_INSTALL_DIR=d:/usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope.
Alternative 2: Edit installer.properties

1. Open the file installer.properties in a text editor.
Page 12
Introscope Installation for SAP 2. Locate the USER_INSTALL_DIR property. To change the install directory location, enter the desired location in the USER_INSTALL_DIR property.
Note: The instructions in this guide will use examples relative to the default
installation directory.
Start the Installer

1. Launch the installer for your platform using the appropriate command: For Windows, double-click on the introscope7.1windows.SAPEndUser.exe, or launch from command-line with the following command:
Introscope7.1windows.SAPEndUser.exe
For any other platform-dependent installer, use the command in the following example. You may have to set the right permission before you can launch the installation:
./introscope7.1solaris.SAPEndUser.bin
For the i5/OS installer run the following command in QSH: /QIBM/ProdData/Java400/jdk15/bin/java classpath introscope7.1.P4os400SAPEndUser.jar install For the platform independent installer that does not contain a bundled Java VM use the following command. /some/path/java refers to the Java 5 VM that you installed as described above: /some/path/java classpath introscope7.1otherUnixSAPEndUser.jar install Note: In any case, the configuration file installer.properties must be located in the current directory where you launch the installer. You can avoid copying the installation file itself by using the complete path to the executable. 2. Verify installation using instructions in the following section, Verifying Installation.
Verifying Installation
The installer does not give confirmation of successful installation on the console. To confirm installation was successful: 1. Verify that the Introscope directory exists at: <drive>:\usr\sap\ccms\wilyintroscope (Windows) /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope (Unix, i5/OS) OR the location you specified. 2. Open the file,
/usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope/install/Introscope_InstallLog.log .
3. Verify that the following lines appear at the top of the file:
Page 13
Installation: Successful. 166 SUCCESSES 0 WARNINGS 0 NONFATAL ERRORS 0 FATAL ERRORS
Note: The number of successes may be different than what is shown in this example.
Adapt Java VM and Java VM Parameters

Depending on the startup mode the Java VM and the Java VM parameters are adapted in different locations:
EMService.conf: Used when Enterprise Manager is running as Windows Service on Windows platforms. The property wrapper.java.command defines the Java VM to use. Increase the value of adapt wrapper.java.maxmemory to increase the Java
heap (corresponds to Xmx).
Introscope_Enterprise_Manager.lax: Enterprise Manager launched with script Introscope_Enterprise_Manager (typically only on Unix). Adapt lax.nl.current.vm to the full path of the VM to use (if you want to change the default) and use lax.nl.java.option.additional to modify Java VM
parameters.
runem.nohup.sh: Used when Enterprise Manager is launched with nohup ./runem.nohup.sh& on Unix platforms where the primary script Introscope_Enterprise_Manager does not work. Adapt the IHOME, JAVAPATH, and JVMARGS environment variables. runem.sh: Used when Enterprise Manager is launched on i5/OS. Adapt the JVM_ARGS
environment variable. The following Java VM parameter changes should be considered: Increase the heap size (Xmx) of the Enterprise Manager if you have more than ~10 agents. Enter the absolute path to a Java 5 VM if you want to use a Java VM that is not bundled with the installer. In particular, you have to do this in two cases: o Enter the path of a separately installed 64 bit Java 5 VM for platforms on which by default only a 32 bit VM is provided: Solaris on SPARC HPUX on PA RISC Windows on x86_64
Page 14
Introscope Installation for SAP Enter the path of a separately installed Java 5 VM for platforms where you used the platform independent installer.
Set the Java VM parameter Djava.awt.headless=true for all platforms. Otherwise, the Enterprise Manager will need an X server, i.e., the DISPLAY environment variable must point to a valid X Windows server. Set the Java VM parameter Dswing.volatileImageBufferEnabled=false for all platforms based on the Sun VM in case you see display problems with WebView. On i5/OS, set the Java heap size properties to -Xms64m Xmx2048m
Install the SAP Management Modules

Extract the file SAPISMM71_xx.SAR in the home directory of the Enterprise Manager installation, e.g., /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope. Example:
cd /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope SAPCAR xvf SAPISMM71_xx.SAR

As a result you will find one or more .jar files in the subdirectory config/modules, some .js files in the subdirectory scripts, and some other files distributed over the Enterprise Manager installation. The newly installed management modules only become active after the Enterprise Manager is (re-)started. For Windows installations the Enterprise Manager is typically automatically launched as Windows Service. This means you will have to restart the Windows Service for the Enterprise Manager.
Launch Enterprise Manager as Windows Service

To launch the Enterprise Manager automatically at system restart, it is registered as Windows service (On Unix you should run it as background process). To check, perform the following: 1. Open the Services Control Panel (Start Menu Control Panel Administrative Tools Services) and check that the service Introscope Enterprise Manager has been created. 2. Start the service if it is not yet running.
Running Enterprise Manager in nohup Mode on UNIX

The Introscope Enterprise Manager should be configured to launch automatically on Unix. For this purpose it can be run in nohup mode on UNIX, but several properties must first be set in the Introscope properties files. 1. In the Introscope Enterprise Manager.lax file, make sure there is no value for the property lax.stdin.redirect, as in:
Page 15
lax.stdin.redirect=
2. In the IntroscopeEnterpriseManager.properties file, ensure that the property introscope.enterprisemanager.disableInteractiveMode is set to true, as in:
introscope.enterprisemanager.disableInteractiveMode=true
3. Start the Enterprise Manager with the following command:
nohup ./Introscope_Enterprise_Manager&
It is critical that both of the Introscope Enterprise Manager properties are set exactly as described above. If you attempt to run the Enterprise Manager in nohup mode without changing these properties as described, or set them incorrectly, the Enterprise Manager may not start, or CPU utilization may become excessive.
Introscope_Enterprise_Manager does not work correctly with nohup. The effect is

that the Enterprise Manager does not fully launch. In this case, please adapt the shell script runem.nohup.sh to your needs and use this to launch the EM:
Note: For some platforms, we discovered that the automatically generated script
nohup ./runem.nohup.sh &

Consider launching the Enterprise Manager automatically at system startup. Typically, you will have to hook it into one of the operating system specific init scripts.
Running Enterprise Manager on i5/OS

Note: The Enterprise Manager can be run in QSH shell but not in QP2TERM (Pase environment). To activate the Wily Enterprise Manager at system startup, you should add an Autostart Job Entry to the subsystem QUSRWRK. To achieve this, run the following commands:
CRTJOBD JOBD(<Your Library>/WILYEM) JOBQ(QUSRNOMAX) TEXT('Jobdescription for Wily EM') RQSDTA('QSH CMD(''cd /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope && /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope/runem.sh'')') USER(<Your User>) GRTOBJAUT OBJ(<Your Library>/WILYEM) OBJTYPE(*JOBD) USER(<Your User>) AUT(*USE) ADDAJE SBSD(QUSRWRK) JOB(WILYEM) JOBD(<Your Library>/WILYEM)
<Your Library> can be any library, for example R3400. <Your User> can be any user, for example the <SID>ADM of your Solution Manager system. However, this user needs to have access to the files in /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope. You can ensure this by running
chown R <Your User> /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope

in QSHELL.
Page 16
Manually Starting Enterprise Manager

If you have not set up automatic start of the Enterprise Manager, you have to start the Enterprise Manager manually.
Note: Make sure the Enterprise Manager has both read access and write access to the
complete /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope directory, so that configuration changes will be properly saved.
On Windows
Start the Enterprise Manager using one of the following methods: from the Start menu, Introscope > Administration > Introscope Enterprise Manager. OR run Introscope Enterprise Manager.exe (located in the <Introscope home> directory, by default c:/usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope).
On i5/OS
Note: The Enterprise Manager can be run in QSH shell but not in QP2TERM (Pase environment). To launch the Enterprise Manager directly on i5/OS, open a QSHELL and do the following:
cd /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope nohup runem.sh &

Alternatively you can submit the Enterprise Manager to Batch via:
SBMJOB CMD(QSH CMD('cd /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope && /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope/runem.sh')) JOB(WILYEM) CPYENVVAR(*YES) ALWMLTTHD(*YES)
On Other Platforms
On other platforms, switch to the <Introscope home> directory, then launch the Enterprise Manager with the command:
./Introscope_Enterprise_Manager
Checking That Introscope Is Running Properly

After you have launched the Enterprise Manager, check that it is running properly. 1. Locate the Enterprise Manager log at <Introscope
home>/logs/IntroscopeEnterpriseManager.log.
2. Check that the Enterprise Manager has started. Look for the following line in the logfile:
Page 17
11/28/06 10:54:36 AM CET [INFO] [Manager] Introscope Enterprise Manager started.

3. Check the TCP port that Introscope Enterprise Manager is using for agent connections. Look for lines similar to the following in the logfile:
[INFO] [Manager.PostOfficeHub] Server listening for incoming default socket connections on port 6001
In this case, the Enterprise Manager agent port is 6001 (default value).
Page 18
4 Introscope-Enabling SAP J2EE

Systems
Note: The recommended procedure to install and customize the Introscope Agent is to use the setup wizard provided in Solution Manager Diagnostics. If you do not have Solution Manager Diagnostics available follow the manual procedure described below.
Installing the Introscope Agent with SAP NetWeaver

After you have installed the Enterprise Manager, you are ready to install and configure the Introscope Agent and Introscope-enable your Java Applications. The following instructions are valid for SAP J2EE versions 6.20, 6.40, and 7.00. For SAP J2EE versions after 7.00, please check SAP Note 943031 (Note is not yet available for customers). The instructions in the following section work on both Windows and Unix systems, but the examples show Windows convention (backslashes in the paths).
Note: Always use forward slashes (/) as path separators for Introscope config files and for
JVM parameters on all platforms including Windows. This avoids the need to escape the Windows path separator backslash (\) by doubling it.
Configuring Introscope with SAP NetWeaver Application Servers Overview

The following steps are required to install and configure the Introscope Agent to report information to the Enterprise Manager: 1. Extract the Introscope Agent files 2. Create the Introscope Agent autoprobe connector (not for i5/OS and Java 5) 3. Introscope-enable the application code by setting Java VM parameters
Extract the Introscope Agent

To install the Introscope Agent: 1. Extract the agent installer file into the NetWeaver CCMS directory, usually:
<drive>:\usr\sap\ccms. SAPCAR xvf ISAGENT71*.SAR

2. Confirm the Agent was installed correctly by checking for the existence of the /wily directory in the <drive>:\usr\sap\ccms directory.
Page 19
Configuring Introscope Agent Settings

The following section details how to configure the Introscope Agent. The Agent configuration settings are found by default in the file /usr/sap/ccms/wily/sap_IntroscopeAgent.profile. This guide will refer to the sap_IntroscopeAgent.profile file as the Agent profile. Note that this file contains SAP-specific customization. Furthermore, depending on the monitored solution you need to choose different profiles:
Choose the Right Agent Profile

SAP provides several agent profiles for different applications running on the SAP J2EE Engine. All profiles adhere to the name pattern sap_IntroscopeAgent*.profile. You will have to choose one of the profiles from the table below. Currently the following profiles are available:
File Name sap_IntroscopeAgent.profile sap_IntroscopeAgent_xi.profile sap_IntroscopeAgent_ipc.profile
Applications Covered SAP J2EE, Enterprise Portal XI 3.0 SAP IPC (IPC 4.0 only, not VMC)
Note: For Introscope-enabling SAP IPC, please also check SAP Note 886600.
You will need to configure the host name or IP address and port of the machine where the Enterprise Manager resides. To configure the Introscope Agent: 1. Open the agent profile, e.g. file <drive>:\usr\sap\ccms\wily\sap_IntroscopeAgent.profile. 2. Locate the property, introscope.agent.enterprisemanager.transport.tcp.host.DEFAULT. Enter either the host name or IP address of the machine where Enterprise Manager resides. 3. Locate the property, introscope.agent.enterprisemanager.transport.tcp.port.DEFAULT. The value should be the port on which the Enterprise Manager listens for Agent connections. Default setting is 6001. 4. Save changes to the agent profile.
Page 20
Check the Agent Log File Location

By default, the Introscope agents write log files to the subdirectory logs (e.g. /usr/sap/ccms/wily/logs). On Unix systems, make sure that the monitored systems (user sidadm) have write access to this directory (write permission for group sapsys). As an alternative, you can change the properties introscope.autoprobe.logfile and log4j.appender.logfile.File to some other directories where the monitored systems have write access.
Introscope-enabling SAP NetWeaver

A Java application is monitored by adding Probes to the bytecode (called Introscope-enabling your application). The Probes then report information to the Introscope Agent, and the Agent reports that information to the Enterprise Manager. The method you will be configuring, JVM AutoProbe, will install probes dynamically into application code as it is loaded.
Configuring JVM AutoProbe

You have to create a so-called AutoProbe connector that fits for the Java VM that you use. This step is not required for Java 5 VMs and not for any Java VM running on i5/OS. Instead, different VM parameters are used for these platforms.
Important Note: You should re-create the AutoProbe connector every time you update the JVM that is used for the SAP J2EE nodes, even if you just change the patch level, e.g., from 1.4.2_04 to 1.4.2_05! For this reason it is also important that you specify exactly the same JVM that is actually used by the SAP J2EE nodes.
The following section details how to configure JVM AutoProbe. For AIX with the IBM J9 Hybrid VM please see SAP Note 1015184there are special parameters to pass when creating the autoprobe connector and when launching the VM.
Creating an AutoProbe Connector

Use the CreateAutoProbeConnector.jar tool to create a connector specific to the JVM used to run the application server. There are two ways to specify the JVM: use the JVM that is running the tool pass the JVM directory on the command line to the tool 1. Change the working directory to wily\connectors. 2. Run the Create AutoProbe Connector tool using the following command:
Page 21
Introscope Installation for SAP Make sure to specify exactly the JVM that is used for launching the J2EE node by passing the JVM directory <java_home> on the command line: java -jar CreateAutoProbeConnector.jar -jvm <java_home> -output connector.jar Example: java -jar CreateAutoProbeConnector.jar -jvm C:/soft/jdk14 -output connector.jar 3. The output is the file connector.jar in the same directory.
Activating the Agent: Set Java VM Parameters

After you have created the AutoProbe Connector, you must add three Java VM options. Typically, you will only want to activate the agent on the SAP J2EE server nodes, not on dispatchers and state controllers. Note that for class path and directory paths, you can use forward slashes (/) on all platforms, even on Windows. For SAP J2EE 6.40, you even cannot use backslash (\) on Windows. Furthermore, note the difference between Unix and Windows in the class path: The entries are separated by ; on Windows, but by : on Unix.
Agent Name
You should assign a unique name to each SAP J2EE node that is Introscope-enabled. This so-called agent name is assigned by an additional Java VM option (referred to as <AgentName> below). SAP suggests the following naming convention for the agent name: <AgentName>=SID_Product_Nodename Where the placeholder mean the following:
Placeholder SID Product Nodename
Explanation SystemID Identifier for product usage J2EE node name / directory
Example EPP, EPQ, EPD EP, XI, IPC server0
Note: It is not necessary to integrate the host name into the agent name, since the host name is assigned automatically to the agent. Using a unique naming convention for all agent installations helps to group agents that belong to the same installation together.

Set Java VM Parameters for SAP J2EE 6.20

The procedure to add JVM options depends on the startup method for the J2EE nodes. Check SAP Note 697162 for instructions to set JVM options for your specific startup method. The following procedure is an example in case you use SAP J2EE startup framework for J2EE 6.20: 1. Open the file: <drive>:\usr\sap\<J2EE_ENGINE_ID>\j2ee\j2ee_<INSTANCE>\configtool\servi ce.ini 2. Append the following commands to JavaParameters (Windows example): -Xbootclasspath/p:<drive>:/usr/sap/ccms/wily/connectors/connector.jar;< drive>:/usr/sap/ccms/wily/Agent.jar -Dcom.wily.introscope.agentProfile=<drive>:/usr/sap/ccms/wily/sap_Intro scopeAgent.profile -Dcom.wily.introscope.agent.agentName=<AgentName> Unix example: -Xbootclasspath/p:/usr/sap/ccms/wily/connectors/connector.jar:/usr/sap/ ccms/wily/Agent.jar -Dcom.wily.introscope.agentProfile=/usr/sap/ccms/wily/sap_IntroscopeAge nt.profile -Dcom.wily.introscope.agent.agentName=<AgentName> 3.

Set Java VM Parameters for SAP IPC

The procedure to add JVM options for the IPC to enable Introscope is described in SAP Note 886600. Note that Introscope does not support IPC running in the VM container (VMC) as it is delivered for SAP CRM 5.0.
Set Java VM Parameters for SAP xMII 11.5

You have to modify the .bat file that launches the servlet engine. A typical location for the file is C:\servletExec AS\se-LHCMS\StartServletExec.bat . Add the following Java VM parameters:
-Xbootclasspath/p:<drive>:/usr/sap/ccms/wily/connectors/connector.j ar;<drive>:/usr/sap/ccms/wily/Agent.jar -Dcom.wily.introscope.agentProfile=<drive>:/usr/sap/ccms/wily/sap_I ntroscopeAgent.profile -Dcom.wily.introscope.agent.agentName=<AgentName>

Further information on integrating xMII into Solution Manager Diagnostics can be found in SAP Note 903825.
Page 25
Checking that the Agent is Running

1. Check that the SAP J2EE nodes start up correctly after the restart and that the J2EE applications are available as before. 2. Search for an Agent log file in the logs subdirectory of the Introscope agent directory, e.g., in the directory /usr/sap/ccms/wily/logs. The file will be named IntroscopeAgent.<AgentName>.log, where <AgentName> is the name that you assigned via the JVM parameter above. Open the text file with a text editor and check the last lines. You will probably find warnings that the connection to the Enterprise Manager failed since you have not yet started the Enterprise Manager.
EXAMPLE
The last few lines of the agent log file should similar to the following:
12/06/06 01:41:46 PM PST [INFO] [IntroscopeAgent.IsengardServerConnectionManager] Connected Agent to the Introscope Enterprise Manager at localhost:6001,com.wily.isengard.postofficehub.link.net.DefaultSocketFactory. Host = "emhost", Process = "SAP Netweaver", Agent Name = "xxx_server0".
Check that the Agent is Running

Launch the Introscope Workstation to check if the data provided by the agent arrives at the Enterprise Manager. For this purpose, launch the Workstation in a browser: http://emhost:8081/workstation You should get a login prompt as shown below. Use login credentials from the table in Chapter 1 to authenticate. As an alternative, you can also launch a Workstation that you explicitly installed or WebView (http://emhost:8081/webview).
Open the Investigator (Workstation menu New Investigator) to display a tree of all connected hosts and agents. Click the plus signs to open subtrees. For each connected agent, you should find a subtree host SAP Netweaver AgentName in the
Page 26
Introscope Installation for SAP Investigator that looks similar to the screenshot below. Depending on the type of the managed system, some tree nodes may be missing. Please check the following: If your managed system is running SAP J2EE, you should at least have SAP J2EE. CPU is only available on some Windows and Linux platforms, so this may indeed be missing. Some nodes will only appear after first use. For example, Servlets will only appear after the first servlet has been executed.

6 Introscope-Enabling Duet
ASP.NET Applications
Installing the Intoscope .NET Agent Set up user permissions for Agent Directory Configure Introscope .NET Agent settings This chapter describes installing and configuring the Introscope .NET Agent with Duet. The following steps are required:
Requirements
Before starting the installation of the Introscope .NET Agent the Microsoft Duet Server Components have to be installed and configured. Check if they are installed by having a look to the Microsoft IIS Manager. You have to see there the following three application pools: AzManSvcWebAppPool IBFWebAppPool RequestHandlerAppPool
Previous Agents
If a previous version of the .NET Agent has been installed on a machine in your environment, Wily recommends the previous version of the Agent be uninstalled before you install the new version of the .NET Agent.
Note: If you wish to use an older version of the .NET Agent rather than the current version, you
must uninstall the current version of the Agent first before installing the older version.
Installing the Introscope .NET Agent

Extract the Installer Archive
Extract the installer archive ISDOTNET70_01.SAR to a temporary directory. There are five files in the archive: introscopeDotNetAgentInstall7.0.P1.exe webdav.pbd sap_default-full.pbl sap_IntroscopeAgent_Duet.profile sap_IntroscopeAgent_custom.profile
Page 29
Run the Installer

To install the .net agent perform the following steps: 1. Double-click the introscopeDotNetAgentInstall7.0.P1.exe file. The Introduction page is displayed.
2. Click Next. The Choose Install Folder page is displayed. The installation directory is referred to through this guide as the AgentHome directory. Install the .NET agent into a wilydotnet subdirectory of the NetWeaver CCMS directory, usually:
<drive>:\usr\sap\ccms\wilydotnet
Note: If there is no SAP component installed on this server you will not find the
NetWeaver CCMS directory (<drive>:\usr\sap\ccms). The directory will be created by the installation.
Page 30
3. Click Install. The .NET Agent is installed and the Installation Complete Page is displayed. 4. Confirm the .NET agent was installed correctly by checking for the existence of the following directories in the AgentHome directory:

<drive>:\usr\sap\ccms\wilydotnet\wily
Page 31
Set Up User Permissions for Agent Directory

When you install the Agent, the installation directory <AgentHome>\wily is created with permissions in accordance with the machine policy. For the Agent and AutoProbe to run, the user authorization token executing the worker process must have permissions for the <AgentHome>\wily directory, and the bin and ext subdirectories. By default the w3wp.exe processes, which run the ASP.NET Duet applications, are running with the user NETWORK SERVICE.
Verify Minimum User Permissions

To verify the minimum user permissions: 1. In Windows Explorer, right-click on the <AgentHome>\wily folder and select Properties. The Properties window for the folder is displayed. 2. Click on the Security tab of the Properties window. A dialogue box similar to this is displayed.

Configure Introscope .NET Agent Settings

The following section details how to configure the Introscope .NET Agent in a Duet Scenario.
Replace IntroscopeAgent.profile
The sap_IntroscopeAgent_Duet.profile you copied to the \wily subdirectory of the AgentHome directory is configured for the use with Duet and restricts the monitoring to only Duet related .NET processes and application pools. You need to replace the existing IntroscopeAgent.profile by the sap_IntroscopeAgent_Duet.profile: 1. Rename the exitsing IntroscopeAgent.profile to original_IntroscopeAgent.profile 2. Rename the sap_IntroscopeAgent_Duet.profile to IntroscopeAgent.profile
Configure Agent to Enterprise Manager Connection Properties

The connection configuration to the Enterprise Manager you need to configure in the IntroscopeAgent.profile. You will need to configure the host name or IP address and port of the machine where the Enterprise Manager resides: 1. Open the <drive>:\usr\sap\ccms\wilydotnet\wily\IntroscopeAgent.profile file. 2. Locate the property, introscope.agent.enterprisemanager.transport.tcp.host.DEFAULT Enter either the host name or IP address of the machine where Enterprise Manager resides. 3. Locate the property, introscope.agent.enterprisemanager.transport.tcp.port.DEFAULT The value should be the port on which the Enterprise Manager listens for Agent connections. Default setting is 6001. 4. Save changes to the IntroscopeAgent.profile.
Page 35
Post Setup Tasks

After the installation and configuration of the Introscope .NET Agent it is not running. Some post setup tasks are necessary.
Restart IIS
To restart the IIS open a command prompt window and execute the following command:
iisreset /restart
Check that the .NET Agent is running

To verify the minimum user permissions: In Windows Explorer, right-click 1. Check that the IIS start up correctly after the restart. 2. Search for the Agent log files. They will be located in the \wily subdirectory of the AgentHome directory, usually:
<drive>:\usr\sap\ccms\wilydotnet\wily The files will be named IntroscopeAgent.DefaultDomain.log and IntroscopeAgent.<Duet application name>.log
Open the files and check if the .NET connected successfully to the Introscope Enterprise Manager.
Page 36
Environment Performance Agent Installation

Note: The recommended procedure to install and customize the EPAgent is to use the setup wizard provided in Solution Manager Diagnostics. If you do not have Solution Manager Diagnostics available follow the manual procedure described below. The Environment Performance Agent (EPAgent) is used to collect performance metrics from different sources that do not require bytecode instrumentation. The agent runs as a stand-alone Java process which requires at least a Java 1.4 VM. SAP currently provides plugins to monitor the operating system based on saposcol, monitor GC data in detail, and to collect TREX performance data. The setup procedure includes the following steps: Customize the EPAgent connection parameters Select plugins that should be activated Customize the individual plugins Launch the agent and check proper operation
Extract the Files

Extract the files from the archive ISEPA71.SAR with the command below. All extracted files will go to a subdirectory epagent. The recommended location for extracting the files is the directory /usr/sap/ccms, such that all files will go to directory /usr/sap/ccms/epagent. sapcar xvf ISEPA71.SAR
Configure the EPAgent

Configuration of the Epagent is done via the configuration file IntroscopeEPAgent.properties in the subdirectory config. All of the configuration steps in this section apply to this file, unless stated otherwise.
Customize Connection Properties

At the bottom of the configuration file, set the two connection properties for the Enterprise Manager connection to the same values that you used for the normal agents in Chapter 4. introscope.agent.enterprisemanager.transport.tcp.host.DEFAULT=emhost introscope.agent.enterprisemanager.transport.tcp.port.DEFAULT=6001
Page 37
Select Plugins to Run

Plugins are activated by listing their names in one of the two properties below. By default, SAPOSCOL and SAP_GC are active. Make sure you list the plugins in the correct category (stateful or stateless). introscope.epagent.plugins.stateful.names=SAPOSCOL,SAP_GC introscope.epagent.plugins.stateless.names=
Customize the Plugin SAPOSCOL

The SAPOSCOL plugin periodically polls performance data from the saposcol process. To allow communication to saposcol, the plugin needs the path to saposcol. Either pass it as parameter to the plugin class, as below, or include saposcol in the PATH for the user that runs the EPAgent. introscope.epagent.stateful.SAPOSCOL.class=com.sap.sup.wily.epa.oscol.OsCol ControllerXml /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run/saposcol The plugin is calling saposcol with the path you specify above to retrieve monitoring data, so the user running the EPAgent needs permission to execute saposcol. Additional info on saposcol can be found on the Service Marketplace: http://service.sap.com/monitoring -> System Monitoring and Alert Management -> Media Library -> Documentation -> SAPOSCOL: Properties, Installation, and Operation.
Customize the Plugin SAP_GC

The SAP_GC plugin monitors log files from J2EE nodes and periodically reports data about garbage collection activity. The plugin is controlled via a separate configuration file SapGcScanner.properties, located in the subdirectory epaplugins/sap. For SAP J2EE 6.40 and 7.00, monitoring of the files std_servern.out is recommended and supported. For each monitored file, one line must be added to the SapGcScanner.properties file in the following format: file.<agentname>=<full path to file>. Agentname should be the name of the Introscope agent that monitors the J2EE node whose log file you want to monitor. The data will appear in two locations then: hostname|SAP EPAgent|SAP GC|agentname and hostname|SAP Netweaver|agentname|SAP GC. Example: file.P40_server0=C:/usr/sap/P40/JC00/work/std_server0.out file.P40_server1=C:/usr/sap/P40/JC00/work/std_server1.out
Customize the Plugin SAP_TREX

The SAP_TREX plugin can retrieve performance counters from TREX servers. It needs two support files to be copied from epaplugins/sap to the TREX installation:
Page 38
Introscope Installation for SAP Windows: Copy python_epa.bat to C:/usr/sap/SID/TRXxx/python_epa.bat; adapt the paths in this file. Copy serviceLoad.py to C:/usr/sap/SID/TRXxx/exe/python_support and C:/usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/nuc/NTI386/python_support (backup the old files before). After copying the files, adapt the path to the python_epa.bat script in the agent config file: introscope.epagent.stateless.SAP_TREX.command=C:/usr/sap/SID/TRXxx/python_e pa.bat Unix: Copy python_epa.sh to /usr/sap/SID/TRXxx/python_epa.sh; adapt the paths in this file. Copy serviceLoad.py to /usr/sap/SID/TRXxx/exe/python_support and /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/nuc/NTI386/python_support (backup the old files before). After copying the files, adapt the path to the python_epa.sh script in the agent config file: introscope.epagent.stateless.SAP_TREX.command=/usr/sap/SID/TRXxx/python_epa .sh Note that this plugin is not active by default. You have to add it to the stateless plugin list (see above).
Customize the Plugins for Windows Performance Counters

There are currently three plugins to collect Windows performance counters with Introscope:
Plugin Name SAP_WMI_MSS SAP_WMI_DOTNET SAP_WMI_IIS
Monitored Component MS SQL Server Dot Net IIS
Activate the plugins by listing them in the stateless category.
Run the EPAgent

Running the EPAgent on Windows
On Windows the EPAgent should be run as service. To create the service, start the script RegisterEPAService.bat. After creation, start the service via the services MMC plugin. If you do not have a java.exe (at least java 1.4) in your PATH, edit the property wrapper.java.command in config/EPAService.conf.
Page 39
Running the EPAgent on Unix

Use the supplied shell script epagent.sh to launch the agent in nohup mode: nohup ./epagent.sh & You may have to adapt the path to a java 1.4 VM in the shell script before.
Check Proper Operation

If your setup was successful, the Investigator view of the Workstation should look similar to the screenshot below.

8 Installing and Configuring
WebView with SAP NetWeaver

Remember that in most cases there is no need to run WebView on NetWeaver since the Enterprise Manager already hosts a WebView instance. Review Chapter 1 to make sure you want to deploy WebView on NetWeaver. This chapter describes installing and deploying WebView on the Java stack of SAP NetWeaver. Information is provided in the following sections: System and Version Requirements Reviewing Installation and Configuration Process Installing and Configuring WebView with SAP NetWeaver
System and Version Requirements

Introscope Version
Introscope Enterprise Manager and Introscope WebView must have the same version!
NetWeaver Version
WebView can be deployed on the Java stack of NetWeaver 04 or 2004s (SAP J2EE version 6.40 or 7.00).
Reviewing Installation and Configuration Process

After youve checked the system requirements and collected the appropriate access and configuration information for your deployment, youre ready to start installing and configuring WebView. This process consists of the following steps: 1. Modify JVM options of J2EE server nodes for WebView. 2. Undeploy old version of WebView. 3. Deploy the WebView .EAR file in the SAP NetWeaver application server through which you will be running WebView.
Page 41

Note: These instructions assume you are installing WebView on the same machine as
the Introscope Enterprise Manager.
Verifying Successful WebView Deployment

After deploying WebView, verify that WebView is starting and has connected to the Enterprise Manager. 1. Make sure that the Enterprise Manager is running (see the section, Checking That Introscope Is Running Properly). 2. Launch WebView via Solution Manager Diagnostics (Menu Entry J2EE Server Analysis) or directly via URL http://host:5xx00/webview. You should get a login screen from the WebView application and a message below the login frame similar to the following: This WebView instance is connected to the Enterprise Manager on localhost. There are 3 agent(s) reporting.. 3. Log in to WebView with one of the user accounts listed in Chapter 1 and open the Console. Click to open some so-called dashboards and check if some charts are displayed.

9 Additional Installation Options

This chapter covers additional customizing steps of the Introscope Installation: Changing the Agent port from 6001 to other values Uninstalling Introscope Setting up domains User Management Activating Leak Hunter Running WebView and Enterprise Manager on Different Hosts
Change the Agent Port

The Enterprise Manager by default listens on TCP port 6001 for agent connections. You can change this value to any desired port: 1. Open the file, config/IntroscopeEnterpriseManager.properties. 2. Change the value of property introscope.enterprisemanager.port.channel1 to the desired port. 3. Save changes and close the file. 4. Remember to change the property in the sap_IntroscopeAgent.profile to the same port.
Uninstalling Introscope
Uninstalling Introscope Agents
1. Remove the Java VM options for Introscope from the J2EE nodes that you instrumented before. The following options should be removed: a. -Xbootclasspath/p: <some path>/wily/connectors/connector.jar: <some path>/wily/Agent.jar (Java 1.3, 1.4 only) b. -Dcom.wily.introscope.agentProfile=<some path>/wily/sap_IntroscopeAgent.profile c. -Dcom.wily.introscope.agent.agentName=<AgentName> d. -javaagent:<some path>/wily/Agent.jar (Java 5 only) 2. Use SDM to undeploy the JmxService helper application (com.wilytech.jmxservice) in case it is still present from previous Introscope versions. 3. Restart the affected J2EE instances for the changes to become effective.
Page 44
Introscope Installation for SAP 4. Delete the directory <some path>/wily (or wherever you put the agent files).
Uninstalling Environment Performance Agents

1. On Windows only: Call the script DeregisterEPAService.bat to stop and unregister the Windows service. 2. On other platforms: Stop the Java VM containing the EPAgent. 3. Delete the complete directory containing the EPAgent installation.
Uninstalling the Enterprise Manager

1. Windows only: Call the batch file DeRegisterEMservice.bat to remove the Windows Service 2. Windows only: Call the wizard to uninstall Introscope: Start Control Panel Add or Remove Programs; Select Introscope and click change/remove to launch the Wizard. Click Next to continue the uninstall. 3. Remove any remaining files from /usr/sap/ccms/wilyintroscope.
Uninstalling WebView on Netweawer

1. Use SDM to undeploy the application com.wilytech.webview if you still have a copy of WebView deployed on NetWeaver.
Setting up Introscope Domains

Introscope agents can be organized into so-called domains. You can use this feature to group agents which are correlated, e.g. belonging to the same domain. Domains are defined in the Enterprise Manager by the configuration file config/domains.xml. By default, there is only one domain, the SuperDomain, which contains all agents. SAP recommends defining one domain for each system or for each main instance (in Solution Manager Diagnostics terms). You can pick agents for a domain based on the host name and on the agent name. Example: Assume you want to create two domains EPP and EPQ for the productive and the QA Enterprise Portal. Your agent names contain the System id (also EPQ, EPP). Step 1: Adapt the domains.xml file on the Enterprise Manager:
Page 45
Step 2: Replicate the management modules: Step 2a: In the directory config/modules, create one subdirectory for each domain. Step 2b: copy all management modules from config/modules to each subdirectory. Step 3: Restart the Enterprise Manager to activate the changes. Step 4: Check the Explorer in Workstation or WebView to see if the domains appear and if the agents are assigned to the right domain. Note that the SuperDomain must always be the last entry in the domains file.
User Management
User accounts must be maintained in the file users.xml, located in the subdirectory config/ of the Enterprise Manager. Permissions are controlled by the file domains.xml in the same directory. To create a new user X with password Y, proceed as follows: 1. Generate the MD5-encoded password by the script MD5Encoder: MD5Encoder Y Y:57cec4137b614c87cb4e24a3d03a3e0 2. Add a new line to users.xml before the final </users> line, using the generated password string (the part after :) as password: <user name="X" password="57cec4137b614c87cb4e24a3d03a3e0" /> 3. Add permissions for the user to the Superdomain in the domains.xml file: <grant user="X" permission="read" /> <grant user="X" permission="run_tracer" />
Introscope Version 7.1 Installation Guide for SAP (10/2/2007) Page 46
Introscope Installation for SAP Note: If you do not have a full license for Introscope, you cannot use permission=full here!
Activating Leak Hunter

Leak Hunter is an additional Introscope feature for detecting memory leaks that is by default disabled. Leakhunter may have substantial impact on the Java memory footprint and on the response time for any Java VM where you activate Leakhunter: Only activate Leakhunter when needed, e.g., if you discover permanently increasing memory consumption in spite of several full garbage collections. It may furthermore be advisable to increase the Java heap before activating Leakhunter to compensate additional memory requirements of Leakhunter. To activate Leakhunter proceed as follows: 1. Set introscope.agent.leakhunter.enable=true in the agent profile used for the JVM with potential leak. 2. Set the introscope.agent.leakhunter.timeoutInMinutes property to the number of minutes that you want LeakHunter to look for new leaks. During this period, the Introscope agent will use more memory, the amount depending on how many Java Collection classes the NetWeaver JVM uses. Set to the shortest period that is long enough to insure that all application funcationality gets invoked within the active leak hunting window. For instance, if you restart the JVM at 5pm but dont expect to have significant load on the JVM until 9am the next day, then you would set it to 1140 minutes (19 hours) so that LeakHunter searches for leaks until 12pm the next day giving 3 hours of leak hunting during active use. If you knew you were going to run significant load through the JVM right after restarting, you could set the timeout to 120 or 240 minutes. 3. Leave introscope.agent.leakhunter.collectAllocationStackTraces set to false since setting it to true requires more memory. If your JVM has spare memory available after running LeakHunter with this set to false, you could try setting to true if you feel you need to see the stacktraces to understand the source of your leak. 4. Add sap_leakhunter.jar to the introscope.autoprobe.directivesFile property in the agent profile, separating it from other JARs or PBDs with a comma. 5. Restart the JVM with the suspect memory leak. 6. Look for a new LeakHunter node under agent in the Investigator window of the Introscope Workstation.
