Why does a company need an SAP Basis department? [Using our company as an example]
SAINT Add-On Installation Tool
In more complex system environments, thousands, if not tens of thousands, of SAP jobs can run per day. Their interdependencies create a high level of complexity. If administrators or admin teams want to maintain an overview, they have to rely on meaningful monitoring. It must be clear at all times which jobs are running and which are not, in order to ensure proper SAP operation. Ideally, one is informed of critical errors by e-mail or SMS. The trend towards internationalization, outsourcing and mixed operation with on-premise and on-demand systems means that SAP landscapes are often widely distributed. This makes monitoring more difficult and, at the same time, clarity must be maintained. Integrating SAP job management and job requests into a central system, such as SAP Solution Manager, therefore makes sense and is useful for supplementing IT service processes in a meaningful way and accelerating process flows.
But when it comes to the intricacies of large SAP environments, Ansible quickly reaches its limits. If you want to use Ansible to implement simple automations - for example, starting and stopping SAP environments - you have to put up with a lot of manual effort and complicated scripts.
Database management, database export and database import
If you want to evaluate for which tables a logging takes place, the table DD09L is suitable for this. The column "Log" shows you for which tables changes are logged.
The database layer is where all of a company's data is stored. In essence, it consists of a database management system (DBMS for short) and the data itself.
"Shortcut for SAP Systems" makes many tasks in the area of the SAP basis much easier.
Note that your system is inconsistent when you delete the queue after objects have been imported (for example, after an error in the DDIC_IMPORT step and following).
