User and security management
SWI2_DIAG Access to work item analysis (SWI2)
In every company with several SAP systems, there is a person responsible for the complete SAP Basis topics, usually there is even a separate department for this. This person ensures the trouble-free operation of the SAP systems. The person responsible also accompanies maintenance work or upgrades and intervenes in special situations, such as poor performance. Even for companies that hand over operation of the SAP Basis to an external service provider, there are often tasks from the user and authorization management environment at this point.
Today, "SAP Basis" often does not mean (only) the software architecture. Instead, the term is not infrequently a task description. This refers to the basic administration of the system: installation and configuration, resource management, maintenance and monitoring of a company's SAP setups. This can include user management, patch management and system monitoring. Backup policy, rights management and daily maintenance tasks are also responsibilities of Basis admins.
Management of processes and transports in SAP
The definition, organisational structure as well as the naming of the SAP basis is historically conditioned by previous SAP software versions and components. This also results in the perception of the SAP basis and the related focus of the SAP NetWeaver and the ABAP system core, which is still widely used today. However, the scope of activities has changed significantly in terms of tasks and technology and will continue to change in view of SAP's perspective and product strategy and the changing roles of IT. In order to accommodate this change and to change perceptions both in the overall context of the SAP ecosystem and within its own company, the SAP basis must develop a new self-understanding and establish a marketing for the publication of its own performance. The underlying information can be found in the master thesis in chapters 7.4 and 9.2.
The value for abap/heap_area_total can also be set dynamically in the lower pane. Once you click on the "Apply" button, the values are changed until the next reboot of your system. In addition, the report also provides ways to analyse the global extended global memory hidden behind the two buttons "EG Overview" and "EG Dump".
With "Shortcut for SAP Systems" a tool is available that greatly facilitates some tasks in the SAP basis.
It's about the communication tools that are planned, which describe the place of communication, the communication tools that describe what to advertise, and the content.
This is where all the system's data resides.
