SAP command line transactions

[newbieaix]

Hi Guys,

Need to ask a question. I have to find a way to measure availability time on my SAP server. What I was thinking was to do a simple unix script, through which, I send a dummy transaction to SAP and see what it does. (if the txn doesn`t go through, the sap ain`t working huh?). This is particularly important for me because checking for the sap processes from ps is not a very good way (sometimes SAP maybe running, but wont be available to users).

Any ideas on how to send transactions from the command line?

Thanks in advance, great day

sorry, I don't know of a way to achieve this, and I presume there is no easy way.
But I would like to be corrected!

In case nobody else comes up with a solution:
The best I have seen so far is SAP's dpmon program; it comes with SAP installation on Unix. It shows e.g. if users are waiting because of a hanging situation.

hope this helps
