“Properly deploying your SAP BusinessObjects BI4 or SAP Lumira landscape involves more than punching some numbers into a calculator and installing the right number of servers. Approaching this from a BI systems perspective means understanding how your BI system works and making intelligent decisions to ensure good system performance and stability.” – SAP http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-33183

Management Server)

– Uses either Derby DB (temporary) or Trending DB (Auditing Data Store – ADS)
– Host data requires SAPHOSTAGENT ‘saposcol’
– Dashboard, Metrics, Watchlist, Probes & Alerts• Probes need scheduling
• Alerts need Watchlist, i.e. set rules with threshold to trigger events, and configure email notifications
