SAP Adapter
The SAP adapter is an embedded adapter that uses SAP BAPI alls to collect metrics from an SAP server.
The SAP adapter has the following features and requirements.
n
Requires an SAP adapter instance and SAP resource in vCenter Operations Manager. The adapter instance
acts as a data collection trigger and the SAP resource represents an SAP server.
n
Uses an attribute package that you assign to the SAP resource to determine which metrics to collect from
the SAP server.
n
Requires certain SAP Java Connector (JCo) files. The SAP JCo files must match your machine and JRE
processor architecture and come from the same SAP library package. On a 64-bit Linux system, the SAP
adapter also requires a shared library file.
n
Requires a collector on a Windows or Linux server. The SAP adapter is tested with Windows 32-bit and
64-bit remote collectors and Linux 64-bit collectors. The SAP adapter is not tested with Linux 32-bit
collectors.
n
Requires a user ID to connect to the host for the SAP server. You can specify an SAP user ID that has access
to Computing Center Management System (CCMS) data.
n
Tested with Java versions 1.6.0_07, 1.6.0_14, and 1.6.0_31.
n
Supports SAP R/3 4.7, SAP ECC 5.0 and 6.0, and SAP NetWeaver 7.0, ABAP + BASIS Support Package
level 20.
TeamQuest Adapter
The TeamQuest adapter is an embedded adapter that collects data from resources that TeamQuest monitors.
The TeamQuest adapter has the following features and requirements.
n
Uses the TeamQuest Harvest command-line interface (tqharvc) to collect data from local TeamQuest
Manager (TQM) data stores.
n
Retrieves a single dataset definition that includes Windows operating system, Solaris operating system,
Oracle database, and WebSphere metrics.
n
Collects data only for metrics described in the describe.xml file. You cannot modify the describe.xml file.
n
Uses XML file-based manual discovery to create resources. With XML file-based manual discovery, you
declare resources in an XML file and specify the path to the XML file when you perform manual discovery.
You can also add resources individually.
n
Requires TQM to be installed on the vCenter Operations Manager server or on a remote collector.
n
Supports TQM 10.1 and 10.2.
VMware Hyperic Adapter
The VMware Hyperic adapter is an embedded adapter that collects data from Hyperic HQ.
The Hyperic adapter has the following features and requirements.
n
Runs SQL queries and uses standard JDBC access to retrieve data from the Hyperic HQ database. The
adapter supports MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL databases.
n
Collects metrics for Hyperic platforms, servers, and services.
n
Creates resource kinds dynamically according to platform types and server types in Hyperic. Resources
represent Hyperic platforms and servers.
