STANDARDISING TASKS
A first important step was the introduction of playbooks to professionalize our work. At that time, SAP installation manuals were real tomes with hundreds of pages that often went round in circles and were anything but easy to understand....
It is essential to define the role to be played within the company. STEP 4: DETERMINATION OF THE TARGET GROUP In this step, the target group of the service is defined and described in detail, e.g. by means of a letter. It will also discuss future target groups which may be of interest in the future. By defining a target group within a company, the SAP basis decides for whom the services and IT products should be delivered. It also makes sense to identify and describe future target groups (e.g. specialist areas) within the framework of a transformation of the SAP basis. STEP 5: POSITIONING This step will position the service on the market and also position the competitors in the relevant segment.
SAP Netweaver - BI Authorization Concept
The database layer is used to store all company data and consists of the database management system (DBMS) and the data itself. In each NetWeaver system there is a database server on which the SAP database is located. It provides all other applications with the necessary data. The data is not only data tables, but also applications, system control tables and user data. All basic components ensure that the user has fast and reliable access to this data.
Understanding the structure and functioning of the system is especially important for IT administration. It is not for nothing that "SAP Basis Administrator" is a separate professional field. On the page www.sap-corner.de you will find useful information on this topic.
A note box in which data of all kinds can be quickly filed and retrieved. This is what Scribble Papers promises. At first, the program looks very spartan. But once a small structure is in place, you realise the great flexibility of this little helper.
If you want to skip the backgrounds and prefer a direct step-by-step guide, you can jump directly into the last section. Preparation For this workaround, you need access to both the source system and the BW system. In addition, they shall have the possibility to access the SE37 and execute functional modules there. Especially in production systems this is a very critical justification. So assume that you may need a Firefighter user for this action. Working in the BW system Now that the preparations have been completed, you have to call a FuBa on the BW system and on the source system, which solves the connection on the respective page. Beginning on the BW system, go into the transaction SE37 and call the function block "RSAR_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_DELETE": RSAR_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_DELETE Enter the required values here. The following table helps you fill in: Field Description I_LOGSYS The logical name of the source system. The name of the source system, as found in RSA1, will be entered here. In addition, this name can also be found in the DB table TBDLT. I_FORCE_DELETE Boolean, X = Delete despite error messages I_NO_TRANSPORT Boolean, X = This change should not be transported to subsequent systems I_NO_AUTHORITY Boolean, X = Ignore Permission Checks Work in the source system In the source system, go to transaction SE37 and call the function block "RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT" : The descriptions of the fields are as follows. These can be found in the RSBASIDOC source system connection table Field Description I_BIW_LOGSYS The logical name of the BW system. In the RSBASIDOC table, find the correct value in the column "RLOGSYS". I_OLTP_LOGSYS The logical name of the source system. The column ‘SLOGSYS’ in the table RSBASIDOC. I_FORCE_DELETE The logical name of the BW system. In the RSBASIDOC table, find the correct value in the column "RLOGSYS". Completion In the end, you have to call the respective function block in the BW and source system, fill in the parameters and execute the function block.
With "Shortcut for SAP Systems" a tool is available that greatly facilitates some tasks in the SAP basis.
More widespread is the unintentional dynamization of SQL calls because input parameters are not sufficiently checked.
