SAP Netweaver 2004s - Components of Monitoring - SAP NetWeaver Administrator (NWA)

The SAP NetWeaver Administrator (NWA) unifies the most important administration and monitoring tools both for Java and for ABAP systems in a new, browser-based user interface. The most important advantages of the NWA are:

• You no longer need to switch between different tools for administration, troubleshooting, and problem analysis of your entire SAP NetWeaver system landscape.
• There is now a central administration tool available to you landscape-wide for both Java and ABAP systems for starting and stopping instances, checking configuration settings and logs, and monitoring error-free functioning of components.
• The interface follows the current guidelines for interface design, is easy-to-use, task-oriented, and complete. By using Web Dynpro, it runs in a normal browser.
• The interface allows seamless navigation to other SAP NetWeaver administration tools (User Management Engine, in the future also System Landscape Directory, Adaptive Computing).
• For Java, the NWA represents the crossover from various expert tools to an integrated, simple, and clear solution. The NWA also completes the integration of the data sources for monitoring.
• For ABAP, the NWA represents the crossover from many different expert transactions, some of which are difficult to use, to integrated, centrally available information.

The NWA is delivered for the first time for SAP NetWeaver 04 SP Stack 12. A more advanced version is delivered with SAP NetWeaver 2004s. It is intended to deliver an advanced version with SAP NetWeaver 2004s. The NWA will also be continually further developed in later releases, and extended with additional administration and monitoring functions.
