BAPI for reading CCMS values

Question

I am currently developing a small application which reads actual values from the CCMS Monitoring, but I got a small problem.

I actually use the BAPI BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETPERFCURVAL to read the values from the CCMS environment (e.g CPU_Utilisation).

But for some values this is not working. A collegue told me to use BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETMLCURVAL.

But this one is also not working for all CCMS Items (eg. it is not working for CPU_Utilisation).

Is there a BAPI which can read all CCMS values? It would be great if there was a BAPI which had the same input parameters as the ones above.

PS: (Yes, I know in the near future there will be a new monitoring environment (MAI))

[EDIT]

Hi,

I figured something out.

Each CCMS Object has a type. (performance, logging, alerting)

I know, that the BAPI BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETTIDBYNAME delivers me the parameter TID for the given MTE-OBJECT-NAME tuple. Inside the TID is a field which is called MTCLASS.

Can anybody tell me, where I can find the values for the field MTCLASS so that I can decide whether to use BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETPERFCURVAL or BAPI_SYSTEM_MTE_GETMLCURVAL?

Thanks for the remark on MAI (didn't know that there is new stuff in preparation) — rplantiko, Aug 19 '14 at 17:20
Can't you use them both? If the second does not give you the CPU utilization, then simply read those values with the first one and all the others with the second one. — Jagger, Aug 20 '14 at 05:59
@Jagger This might be the solution. I figured out, that there are different types of values inside CCMS. So I have to use both BAPI. The only thing I need to do is, figure out of which type my CCMS value is. I hope to find there a BAPI as well. — LStrike, Aug 20 '14 at 06:22

Answering your question from the edited part...

The possible values for the MTCLASS are defined as constants in the include RSALBAPI.

Here comes a fragment of this include with aforementioned constants.

* monitoring tree element (MT): type classes
CONSTANTS:
  MT_CLASS_NO_CLASS     LIKE  ALGLOBTID-MTCLASS       VALUE '000',
  MT_CLASS_SUMMARY      LIKE  ALGLOBTID-MTCLASS       VALUE '050',
  MT_CLASS_MONIOBJECT   LIKE  ALGLOBTID-MTCLASS       VALUE '070',
  MT_CLASS_FIRST_MA     LIKE  ALGLOBTID-MTCLASS       VALUE '099',
  MT_CLASS_PERFORMANCE  LIKE  ALGLOBTID-MTCLASS       VALUE '100',
  MT_CLASS_MSG_CONT     LIKE  ALGLOBTID-MTCLASS       VALUE '101',
  MT_CLASS_SINGLE_MSG   LIKE  ALGLOBTID-MTCLASS       VALUE '102',
  MT_CLASS_HEARTBEAT    LIKE  ALGLOBTID-MTCLASS       VALUE '103',
  MT_CLASS_LONGTEXT     LIKE  ALGLOBTID-MTCLASS       VALUE '110',
  MT_CLASS_SHORTTEXT    LIKE  ALGLOBTID-MTCLASS       VALUE '111',
  MT_CLASS_VIRTUAL      LIKE  ALGLOBTID-MTCLASS       VALUE '199'.
