Migration of an SAP system to other server landscapes
PROLOGUE
A role concept according to best practice protects you from potential attacks within your SAP landscape. However, to protect your system from unauthorized access via the network, the SAP Gateway must be configured correctly. It enables the use of external programs via interfaces or the call of ABAP programs and serves as a technical component of the application server, which manages the communication of all RFC-based functions.

There is an RFC error. CANNOT_ADD_PATCH_TO_BUFFER: A support package could not be included in the transport buffer. For more information, see the log file in the /usr/sap/trans/log (UNIX) directory. CANNOT_MODIFY_BUFFER: An attempt was made to modify the transport buffer without success. TEST_IMPORT This step checks whether there are still objects in unshared tasks that are overwritten during the commit. The log of the test import shows the cause of the error. For more information, see Note 42379. IMPORT_OBJECT_LIST In this step, the object lists for the support packages in the queue are fed into the system.
Implementation of applications
Do you want to allow an employee access to exactly one view maintenance dialogue, but he should not be able to search for other care views in the SM30? This can be done easily with a parameter transaction. Learn how to create such a transaction step by step here. To create a parameter transaction, navigate to the SE93 first. Here you can create all types of transactions. The following dialogue will open: After pressing the "Create" button, a popup will open, on which you select the radio button "Transaction with parameters (parameter transaction)". In addition, type a short description as usual and confirm. The following dialogue will open: The transaction code must be specified here first. If you want to skip the entry dialogue when invoking the parameter transaction, and there is no way to open tables other than the one you want, make sure to select "Skip Entry Image". Furthermore, the GUI properties of the SM30 should be inherited so that the parameter transaction can be started with the same software. Configuration of the parameters In the lower part of the dialogue you will find a table ready for input. Here you can use the search help (F4).

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.

For administrators, a useful product - "Shortcut for SAP Systems" - is available in the SAP basis area.

Your starting situation The ongoing changes in your IT systems lead to unrecognised security vulnerabilities and your auditors will regularly report to you in the final report on abuses in the authorisation concept.

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.


BUILDING OVERARCHING EXPERT TEAMS WITH SAP basis INVOLVEMENT To reduce organisational friction points as well as to optimally handle selected topics, it is recommended to set up expert teams with the participation of the SAP basis.
