SAP Basis service on the safe side
Handling SAP day-to-day business such as administration, maintenance and configuration of your SAP systems
The marketing mix model is suitable for creating a marketing concept. This is usually divided into four pillars - the four Ps. These are Product, Price, Place and Promotion. In the case of services, this is often accompanied by the aspect of personnel policy. Although the marketing mix model is aimed at the external distribution of products and services, aspects of it can also be applied to an internal marketing of the SAP basis. For the design of the respective areas of the marketing mix, it is recommended to use a guide to develop a marketing concept. STEP 1: DEFINITION OF PERFORMANCE This step deals with the description of the services to be offered. Similarly, this step provides a categorisation of the type of service. These include, for example, the levels of secondary or primary service. With respect to the SAP basis, this step is concerned with product portfolio analysis and the creation of IT products and a product catalogue. STEP 2: OWN RESOURCES Subsequently, a determination of one's resources takes place. That is, it identifies the resources that are available and that can be used and the resources that need to be developed. Resources are people, objects, systems, knowledge, and funds. For the SAP basis, this step is an inventory. STEP 3: DETERMINATION OF THE OBJECTIVES The mission and vision of service providers will be determined in the framework of the setting of the objectives. It also sets measurable targets for the next three years.
The entry screen gives a brief overview of the status of the last queued. In case of incomplete support packages, the last (aborted) step of the SPAM will be displayed. System: Check the correct function of the transport tools using Tool Transport Tool. Make sure there is enough space (the size of the OCS files multiplied by 2) in the transport directory (see the R/3 profile parameter DIR_TRANS with the AL11 transaction or the SE38 transaction and the report RSPARAM). Make sure that there is enough space, especially in the subdirectories trans/EPS/in and trans/data. Use the latest SPAM update. Verify that the SPAM update offered in the SAPNet - R/3 frontend or the SAPNet - Web Frontend is newer than the one available in your system. You can see the version of the SPAM update available in your system in the title bar of the SPAM image. We recommend that you always run the latest SPAM update first [page 14] to avoid problems when playing. The insertion of a SPAM update is analogous to the insertion of support packages. There must be no incomplete support packages in your system. To do this, under Folder in the SPAM, select Aborted Support. Packages and select View. Support packages should not be displayed. The status light should be green. If not, view the detailed status and log information for all support packages in the system. Select Jump Status or Jump Log.

Job Management Concept
Parameters in the SAP create a high degree of flexibility. Profiles can be used to configure the system for almost any purpose. But with such a large number of parameters one quickly loses an overview of the influence of each parameter. For storage management alone, there are 20 different parameters that can be changed at different points in the SAP system. This article brings order to the mess and explains the most important parameters. There are three types of memory in the SAP system for a work process: ・ Roll Area - Local Memory Area for a Work Process ・ Extended Memory - Global Memory Area for All Work Processes ・ Private Storage /Dynamic Memory (Private Memory/Heap Memory) - Private Memory Overview of SAP System Memory Regions Parameters for the Rolling Range When a user starts a programme, a role area is created for that programme instance through a workprocess. The user context is stored in this memory area. The size of the roll area for a work process is determined by the ztta/roll_first parameter. If the storage area is not sufficient, a portion of the Advanced Memory will be allocated for the user context, the size of which will be determined by ztta/roll_extension, ztta/roll_extension_dia, and ztta/roll_extension_nondia. The latter two override ztta/roll_extension if used and offer the possibility to set different quotas for dialogue and non-dialogue work processes.
QUEUE_STILL_IN_BUFFER: The queue is not fully processed because incomplete support packages of the queue are still in the transport buffer. CANNOT_RESET_FCS_FLAG: If there is an FCS Support Package (FFD) in the queue, the system will be marked as being at the generally available release level after this support package is inserted. In this case, this operation could not be performed successfully.
"Shortcut for SAP Systems" simplifies tasks in the area of the SAP basis and complements missing functions of the standard.
It is also the task of the SAP basis to identify the skills and resources necessary for them and to ensure their existence at an early stage.
They work with it on a daily basis and can provide quick solutions to concrete problems.
