Hello experts,
I would like to ask your opinion about this topic.
For a customer, I've installed a SAP ERP 6.0 EHP6 landscape on a Windows / Sybase ASE platform. I maintain the database mainly through the DBACOCKPIT transaction. By "maintenance" I basically mean: backups, monitoring (free space, performance statistics, ecc...) and statistics update.
This works quite well.
In parallel, I've also installed a landscape of two SAP Netweaver 7.30 Java systems, also on a Windows / Sybase ASE platform: those run MII.
Freshly installed, the ASE databases on the Java stack don't have any maintenance jobs scheduled. NW Java doesn't have an equivalent of the DBACOCKPIT, at least I cannot find it. So I was wondering what would be the best practice to keep those databases in good shape.
I think the obvious solution would be to monitor those dbs through the ERP's DBACOCKPIT. I know how to add an external db to the DBACOCKPIT, in fact I already did that for one of them.
But I'm not sure if this is the correct course of action, and also if I'm supposed to use the other maintenance tools the DBACOCKPIT offers, mainly the ATM, the data collectors and the Planning calendar, on those "external" databases. What would you suggest? And would those tools use resources on the ERP system?
Thanks for your interest. Kind regards.
