Creating a Secondary Database Connection

CrystalBridge® Monitoring runs on the SAP ABAP system. Therefore, it needs a secondary database connection to the database to enable its monitoring.

Proceed as follows to enable the connection to the database:

1. Start transaction DBCO. Alternatively, start transaction SM30, enter the DBCON in the Table/View field and click Maintain.

2. Click New Entries.

3. In the DB Connection column, enter a database connection name.

4. In the DBMS column, select the required database system.

5. Enter a valid username and DB password.

   NOTE The required user is a specific database user that is created in the database to be monitored. It must have predefined "read" authorizations for the monitoring to be able to read data from database tables. It is recommended to always create a dedicated database connect user for monitoring purposes instead of reusing any existing database users used for other applications. For security and compliance reasons, avoid using system users or SAP application connect users.

6. In the Conn. info column, enter the hostname and the communication port.

7. Click Save.

• The connection has been enabled.
