Sap Basis

Sap Basis

SAP Basis is the glue that holds together the SAP landscape. Different divisions of a business use SAP to perform different jobs, such as shipping product, controlling, manufacturing, and tracking sales leads, but everything relies on the same core system.

SAP Basisadministrators not only make sure all SAP components & applications can communicate with each other, but do so with no end user or backend processing performance degradation. Issues continuously crop up in any technical layer of a SAP landscape and it’s up to SAP Basis support to keep the enterprise cloud, database and application healthy. Basis administrators install updates, monitor the system for errors and tweak SAP to be faster and more reliable.

SAP Basis Administrator: Responsibilities:

Architecting the Environment:

SAP Basis admins identify resources (such as personnel, hardware and/or software) that are needed for successful installations and upgrades, as well as to keep up with future use patterns

.

Implementing Best Practices:

Business and Basis tasks intersect in complex ways that can affect the way your organization runs. Basis staff streamline these tasks to promote efficiency and ease of use.

User administration:

Users are given roles in SAP corresponding to job functions. An SAP Basis administrator fulfils user and role management requests, such as provisioning roles to new hires, rescinding permissions when workers leave, and spotting SOD conflicts between roles.

Managing SAP Transports:

SAP transports (i.e. updates) need to be carefully tested before they’re migrated to production. Admins must review transport requests, configure and test transports, gather signatures and install transports in the correct order.

 Scheduling Background Jobs:

SAP background jobs are what they sound like — routine processes that run in the background. An SAP Basis administrator schedules and runs these jobs during times of low demand, so that they don’t overburden system resources.

SAP Tuning: 

The best SAP administrators spend more time on Performance tuning than troubleshooting. By analysing system performance, user demand and other factors, an SAP administrator can ensure consistent performance and avoid the need for heroics.

Disaster Recovery/High Availability:

An SAP administrator is responsible for backing up and restoring the environment, and testing the backup systems. These SAP Basis administration tasks are often outsourced to a cloud disaster recovery partner, who can generally improve reliability and lower costs.

SAP Basis System Landscape & Architecture

SAP system landscape is defined as an arrangement of SAP servers. Ideally, in a Sap environment, a three-system landscape exists. A system landscape consists of Development Server (Dev.), Production Server (PROD), and Quality Assurance server (QAS).
