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 analyzing 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.
