Implementation Considerations
How the directories required for the SAP DB database system are distributed to the available
hard disks has a significant impact on the security and performance of your database system. A
good distribution of files on the hard disk must meet the following requirements:
Use
The directories contain a range of files such as profiles, log files, scripts, executables, and
so on.
The following conventions apply to this section:
Term
Meaning
%$ORACLE_DBSID%
<TSP>
Structure
There are the following main structures:
%ORACLE_HOME% for Oracle-specific objects with the default directory :\oracle\<DBSID>
bin\
Contains binaries such as sqlplus, exp, imp, and so on
log_tg101m1.dbf
log_tg103m1.dbf
origlogB\
log_tg102m1.dbf
log_tg104m1.dbf
Mirrored redo logs are optional although we strongly recommend using them so the
specification for mirrlogA and mirrlogB might vary:
mirrlogA\
log_tg101m2.dbf
log_tg103m2.dbf
mirrlogB\
log_tg102m2.dbf
log_tg104m2.dbf

Integration
The function for managing users and work processes corresponds to the user- and process-tools.
For more information, see Displaying and Controlling Work Processes and Displaying and
Managing User Sessions.
Features
The application server display includes the following information:
Type: SAP
Work Process type(s) for which an application server has been configured
As well as the familiar work process types Dialog, update (Update and Upd2), Enqueue,
Batch and Spool, there is also the entry ICM.This means that on the application server in
question an Internet Communication Manager (ICM) is configured that can accept or send
requests from the Internet (HTTP and other protocols). For more information see
Internet Communication Manager (ICM).
You can make changes to statuses in the Message Server Monitor (transaction
SMMS). The possible functions are described below:
The following functions are available as pushbuttons or in the menu:
You can use your cursor to select an application server by clicking on the relevant
line (except for the
Refresh function). The function that is executed then refers to
this server.

To display the contents of a directory, double-click that directory, or click the Display button.You
can also display the individual files here. For more detailed information, see the CCMS
documentation.

The OS Monitor provides you with statistics about the host platform, on which an SAP instance is
running (for more information, see
Operating System Monitor in the CCMS guide).
Goto Gateway Monitor
You can also access the Gateway Monitor using transaction SMGW. It is described in Using the
Gateway Monitor in the SAP System.
