The sapextinstance module allows triggering best-effort start and stop operations for non-clustered SAP instances as part of regular package operations. These additional instances can belong to the same System ID as the instances in the package or any other SAP system IDs. They can run on cluster nodes or cluster-external servers. This functionality can for example be used to move SAP Diagnostic Agents with their instances.
SAP software health monitoring HP SGeSAP/LX is delivered with a comprehensive set of software service monitors that help to keep track of the availability and responsiveness of the clustered SAP software services. Individual monitors are available for SAP Netweaver dispatcher, SAP enqueue service, SAP message service, SAP replication service, SAP livecache, SAP web dispatcher, SAP gateway, SAP MDM components, and for the underlying database services.
SAP-specific node-local cluster verification SGeSAP maintains a list of rules that specify local configuration requirements on potential secondary nodes. These requirements are checked with every execution of the cmcheckconf(1m) or cmapplyconf(1m) commands on a modular-style SGeSAP package. Use of cmcheckconf(1m) command for a SGeSAP package that is in a running condition helps to detect erroneous local configurations that negatively impacts the capability to failover a SGeSAP package to a certain node.
QXCR 1001301420 An instance configured in sgesap/sapextinstance fails to start on the local node of the package if SAP startup agent was not already running. The following defects are fixed in Serviceguard Extension for SAP Version A.06.00.10: QXCR1001274312 sgesap/dbinstance module: Sybase ASE native startup fallback mechanism fails when net password encryption is enabled.
