Siemens Nixdorf has just released the new version 4.0 of TransView R/3 LIVE Network Integrator (LNI) for distribution. Using this management tool, SAP R/3 systems can be monitored under Unix and Windows NT operating systems independent of the platform.
Some of the highlights of the new version include the newly revised functions for Alarm Management, Accounting and "Live Monitoring" for R/3 servers. TransView R/3 LNI is available for Windows NT, Reliant Unix, HP-UX and, with the new version 4.0, can now also be obtained for Solaris.
The "AlertView" component permits incoming alarm messages of the SAP R/3 tool CCMS (Computing Center Management System) to be classified according to certain criteria and graphically represented in a clear and straightforward fashion. This enables the user to classify the CCMS alarm messages according to the severity, time of occurrence or date of the problem.
In order to make R/3 use more cost-transparent, TransView R/3 LNI 4.0 now includes new functions for R/3 quality, capacity and accounting: The new version monitors R/3 performance of the individual departments and transfers the data to the respective cost centers for internal processing in accordance with previously set agreements.
The new version promises maximum availability for system operators and users: With the new "Live Monitoring" function, it is now possible to immediately locate any R/3 system failures and forward this information to the TransView Control Center. At this one central location, all malfunctions are recorded and then forwarded to the technician responsible, if it is not possible to correct the error automatically.
TransView R/3 LNI can be run on its own or can be connected directly via open interfaces to the TransView SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and TransView Control Center network management platform systems or various other platforms.
TransView R/3 LNI permits direct access to the various R/3 systems and their monitoring programs right from the R/3 administrator`s management platform. All performance information available in the network is queried on a regular basis by TransView R/3 LNI via SNMP and statistically prepared and checked at one central location.
