The heartbeat will be visualized as a single alert ("traffic light") in the CCMS
System Landscape Directory links
System Landscape Directory is an SAP NetWeaver component. It is completely implemented with Javatechnology and deployed as a Java component on the SAP Web Application Server. As System LandscapeDirectory is already contained in the installation of every SAP Web Application Server Java 6.40 or higher,no further installation is required you only have to perform the easy and quick configuration to activate it.
Standard SAP Logging/Tracing
Java Application Response Measurement (JARM) similar to existing trace timer
The concept of JARM is based on a request. A request is defined as a set of operations and consists of
components. JARM measures the overall run time (optionally the amount of transferred data and the user) ofa request and its associated JARM-components.
JMX Monitor System Stats
the JMX (Java Management Extensions) is used to manage and monitor all server components (services,interfaces, libraries). The Java Application Monitoring API gives programmers a high-level interface toattach to the central monitoring infrastructure

xMII SAP Function Best Practices Templates
xMII SAP Function Best Practice templates:
Pre-configured xMII transactions that execute one or more remote-enabledfunction in R/3 or ECC for a specific business or data scenario.
Content includes xMII intellectual property gained over years of use thatsimplifies or accelerates the use of the function in a customer application.
Content is specifically oriented to using the SAP functions in the shop flooroperations environment.
Access to the best practice processes are immediately web serviceenabled.
Plan:
Create a collection of building block transactions that expose many of thebasic functions through xMII
Create 2nd & 3rd level transactions using the building blocks for more advancedor industry specific processes.
Higher level transactions can then be used as the basis for sophisticatedcomposite applications.
100 templates available by year-end
Templates will be delivered via SAP Developer Network (SDN)
8/13/2019 02 Bimal Mehta SAP
22/33
SAP AG 2006, xMII Next Generation Sneak Peak. Bimal Mehta / 22
Template Categories
The current categories for the building block transactions are:
Materials Data
Material Movements
Batches
Production OrdersProcess Orders
Plant Maintenance Notifications
Plant Maintenance Work Orders
Quality
Planned Orders
Repetitive Manufacturing
IDOCs
The collection of xMII transactions will be continuously evolve withall content posted and maintained on SDN.

Migration What to do?
8/13/2019 02 Bimal Mehta SAP
29/33
SAP AG 2006, xMII Next Generation Sneak Peak. Bimal Mehta / 29
Migration
From 11.5 to 12.0
Remote Server
doesnt have to be on the same server;
migrate to multiple servers
Content
Data servers, navigation trees, system properties, SVG objects,transactions, templates, webpages - html into new project structures.
XML Users will not be migrated

30/33
SAP AG 2006, xMII Next Generation Sneak Peak. Bimal Mehta / 30
Planning for SAP xMII 12.0 DOs and DONTs
DOs: Do Use IRPT, HTML, JSP
Do Use Xacute .NET full compatibility to Java version on upgrade (withexception of MSMQ Action)
Do Use LDAP integration relatively seamless transition
Do Continue to expand your applications all content will be migrated andsupported.
Map your content into projects i.e. create root folder structures for templates, trx,etc.
E.g. Transactions\Demo\; Templates\Demo\.....
Do Continue Applet usage
Do Start a plan to migrate to database or LDAP user management
Get use to using authentication on an individual basis, bypassing authentication will nolonger work
Passing Login Name and Password on URL still works if you need that functionality.
Do Build content using RELATIVE URLs whenever possible to make migrationeasier.
Remember all Lighthammer URLs are changing to SAP xMII and user content willbe accessed relative to that. Most bookmarks will not work!

31/33
SAP AG 2006, xMII Next Generation Sneak Peak. Bimal Mehta / 31
Planning for SAP xMII 12.0 DOs and DONTs
DONTs: Dont Use Active Server Pages (ASP) if you want multi-platform
capabilities inherent with Web AS
Dont Create 1000s of local XML users
If you have, we will help you we do expect a programmatic solution (SDNcontent)
If you havent, dont start now
Dont Have Users rely only on bookmarks as navigation tools
Dont Be afraid please ask questions
