Hello and welcome to the SAP HANA Academy.
The topic of this video tutorial series is SAP HANA Cockpit and in this video we will
discuss Early Watch Alert.
This video has been recorded on release SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 03 (April 2018) and SAP HANA
cockpit 2.0 SP 07 from August 2018.
For earlier or later releases, please check the playlist on the SAP HANA Academy.
Hi, I am Denys van Kempen.
If your cockpit user has S-user authorization, you can now directly launch the SAP EarlyWatch
Alert Solution Finder in the SAP ONE Support Launchpad.
In case you are not familiar with the Early Watch Alert, you might want to check out the
section on the SAP Help Portal on this topic.
Here you will find the value proposition and help and resources, how you can set this up.
OK —Let’s connect.
Here we have the Home page of the SAP HANA cockpit.
The card for the Early Watch Alert is in the SAP One Support Group.
Default setting (customizable).
An S-User is required.
In case you are not familiar with SAP S-users, you can find more information, as well, on
the SAP Support Portal (about the concepts, and frequently asked questions).
There is also this blog on the SAP Analytics Cloud learning site which explains everything
you need to know about S-User IDs.
I will include the URL in the description below.
Now, if your cockpit user does not have the required authorisations, you will be prompted
to contact your company administrator to request the required authorisations.
The blogs I have just mentioned explain how you can find out who your administrator is.
Should everything have been setup properly.
You will be directed to log on to the SAP ONE Support Launchpad.
In most cases, SSO will be in place and you will be connected automatically and then the
SAP EarlyWatch Alert Solution Finder will be launched and here you will have instant
access to the alerts for your systems, warnings and recommendations.
I am using an SAP account here, so we have a lot systems connected,
a lot of test systems probably as well as the number 1 alert is for missing backups.
Each alert has a recommendation, with maybe a reference to an SAP Note, and the concerned systems.
You can click the link to get more information about the issue for that system.
You can even, with a single click, send out a message to your colleague or business partner.
We have alerts about critical revisions.
Disk full conditions.
Performance evaluations
Memory allocations, missing indexes, and so on.
Less critical alerts
Default passwords of standard users, here in the ABAP stack.
Import errors, Network settings for system replication, for internal services, hardware capacity.
Warnings: Problematic SQL statement, Data volume management
We have recommendations: Password complexity, Table reorganizations, SAP HANA Alerts
And descriptions.
More general information.
Users with critical authorizations.
You might want to check this from time to time.
Workloads.
That kind of stuff.
Just a very brief overview of the SAP Early Watch Alert Solution Finder.
To give you a taste, should you not be familiar.
For more information, please check the resources mentioned at the beginning of this video.
With the Early Watch Alert card on the SAP HANA Cockpit home page, you now have instant
access to this very comprehensive resource, checking the health of your entire landscape.
OK - That’s it.
Early Watch Alert.
