1 Getting StartedThis guide does not replace the daily operations handbook that we recommend customerscreate for their specific production operations.
About this GuideThis guide provides a starting point to optimally maintain and run your SAP applications. Designing,implementing, and running your SAP application at peak performance, around the clock, has neverbeen more vital for your business success than now.This document provides you with an overview of technical runtime scenarios, which result fromsetting up the corresponding business scenarios. For example, in a business self-service scenario,the technical runtime scenario starts by opening the browser. The browser displays data generatedby Web Dynpro and SAP Enterprise Portal, which runs on SAP NetWeaver Java runtime, and thenretrieves the business-relevant data from an SAP back-end system.Unlike SAP ERP 6.0 systems, SAP Business Suite uses several SAP components to implementcross-system processes. Data is no longer held centrally in a single SAP system; instead, it isdistributed between several SAP components. Therefore, to ensure the operation of such technicalscenarios, you must understand the different steps and dependencies.This guide provides references to the documentation required for such tasks, so you will sometimesneed to refer to other documentation, such as the Master Guide, the Technical InfrastructureGuide, and SAP Library documentation. This document also describes specific tasks and lists thetools that you can use to implement them. The four main sections of this document are:
Technical System Landscape: This section provides an overview of the architecture ofthe components in SAP ERP 6.0
Monitoring of SAP ERP 6.0: This section describes the standard and specific monitorsfor different components and provides you with information about necessary tasks fordetailed monitoring.
Managing of SAP Technology: This section describes related topics on the SAP ERP6.0 application level, such as starting and stopping, backup and restore, and so on.
Software Change Management: This section summarizes the two areas of transportchange management and software maintenance.
Target AudienceThis documentation contains both high-level information on a application and business processlevel as well as very detailed technical information. It is therefore intended for the followingaudiences:
Decision makers SAP consultants SAP system administrators with operating system, database, and SAP system knowledge

1.1 Global DefinitionsSAP Business Suite: ApplicationsApplications of the SAP Business Suite represent a market view of groups of related businessscenarios. The delivery of an application contains SAP components, which are essential forimplementing all application-related business scenarios, processes and functions. Implementationknowledge is included with each application.
Business Scenario:From a microeconomic perspective, a business scenario is a cycle, which consists of severaldifferent interconnected logical processes in time. Typically, a business scenario includes severalcompany departments and involves other business partners. From a technical point of view, abusiness scenario needs at least one SAP application component (SAP ECC, SAP SCM, or others)for each cycle and possibly other third-party systems. A business scenario is a unit, which can beimplemented separately and reflects the customer’s prospective course of business.
Component:A component is the smallest individual unit within the application development lifecycle;components are separately produced, delivered, installed and maintained.
1.2 Further InformationThis chapter includes additional information, such as SAP Notes, web links, and a list of relateddocuments.Not all important facts that you should take into account in the planning phase of your installationare fully described in this document. As your enterprise makes final preparations to begin the actualimplementation, SAP recommends that you familiarize yourself with the following sources ofinformation, available in SAP Service Marketplace.

Details – ERP Components
ABAP Components - The ABAP components of SAP ERP 6.0 consist of the:
Product instance SAP ERP 6.0 Central component (SAP ECC Server) version 6.0, the SRMServer, as well as different ABAP-based add-on components.
Technical component BI Content. This includes the content required to install the usage typeBusiness Intelligence and is always installed in addition.
Java Components - Java components include:
General Java web applications Content packages for the usage type Portal or usage type PI (Exchange Infrastructure)
These components are always installed in addition to an instance of the usage type Portal or adeployment of PI (Exchange infrastructure). The components included in Java web applications areindependent J2EE components, combined into a single installation tool as a product instance SAPXECO. Therefore, if you want to install one or more of these components, you will require Javacomponents for an ERP installation, which is done by the SAPinst tool.
Additional Components - Additional components include the relevant front-end components.Depending on the key capabilities or business processes you intend to deploy, you install the add-ons shown explicitly within the frame Additional Components. All add-ons are installed using theSAP Add-On Installation Tool (SAINT) or SAPinst.
SAP ERP 6.0 Central Component
The constituent parts of the SAP ERP 6.0 Central Component (SAP ECC 6.0), shown in the figureabove, cannot be installed individually. Nevertheless, support packages for each subcomponentare available. Therefore, each subcomponent, if needed, can be patched separately. Allsubsequent figures in this document that display system landscapes, display only one component,SAP ECC 6.0, which comprises all subcomponents shown in figure above.
Industry Add-Ons
Nearly all former industry solution add-ons are integrated into the product instance SAP ERP 6.0.
For more information, see SAP Notes:838002 (Add-ons (non-IS) integrated into SAP ECC 600)838003 (Industry Add-Ons integrated into SAP ECC 600)

SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM)
Release Technology Comments
6.0 ABAP SAP SEM and SAP BW can also be operated on two separatesystems. The BW data storage is used. You can operate SAPSEM within an existing database (for example, SAP ECCServer). If you plan to operate a business informationwarehouse and a SAP ERP 6.0 Central Component on thesame system hardware (database), check SAP Note 855534.
Master-Data Synchronization:
Master Data from SAP Consolidation is stored in SAP BW tablesas well as in SAP SEM-specific tables. Master data created inSAP SEM is automatically synchronized with SAP BW butmaster data created in SAP BW, such as legacy data frombefore SAP SEM implementation, is not synchronized with theSAP SEM master data storage.
To prevent such inconsistencies between the SAP SEM and SAPBW master data tables, you must use appropriatesynchronization tools. For more information, see SAP Note578348
Data-Model Synchronization:
Besides inconsistencies in master data, there might be caseswhen the data model becomes inconsistent. This could occurwhen there are changes in the metadata of SAP BWInfoObjects, which are in use within the SAP SEM database. Insuch a case, a data model synchronization tool is provided bySAP.
For more information, see SAP Help Portal at help.sap.comSAP ERP 6.0 SAP Strategic Enterprise Management SAPSEM 6.0 SAP Library SEM-Strategic EnterpriseManagement Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS) DataModel Data Model Synchronizer.
Consistency of Transaction Data:
Another area of potential data inconsistency is related to thesummation data in the transaction InfoCube and in the journalentries in the document ODS. SAP SEM Business Consolidation(BCS) stores journal entries as line items per document numberand in aggregated form as total records. Potential reasons fordata inconsistency and how they can be analyzed and repairedare described in the SAP Note 702189.

3 MonitoringPurpose
Monitoring works as an early warning system that monitors and displays the status of multiplesystems and independent business components.
BenefitsMonitoring of SAP Technology is an essential task during solution operation of SAP Technology.Deploying a monitoring architecture enables system administrators to get an overview of thesystem infrastructure at a glance and provides an infrastructure to gather and manage systeminformation. The main features of the monitoring architecture are:User-definable alert monitors
Critical system events, displayed as alerts
Method assignments to analyze alerts and react to them automatically
Performance database to display recent performance data graphically
Monitoring
Dezember 2009 36
Managing applications or client-server systems of the SAP Business Suite places highdemands on the system administration; demands that increase significantly through theinclusion of the Internet in business processes.
This section provides you with an overview of the general tools used for monitoring, for example,the SAP Solution Manager tool. Furthermore, SAP Notes, documents, and web links are alsoprovided.
3.1 Monitoring Using SAP Solution ManagerThe main functional areas of the Solution Manager are described in section 2.4 SAP SolutionManager.In your SAP ERP 6.0 project, use SAP Solution Manager to:Define your Application Landscape
Connect existing systems to enable EarlyWatch Alert
Define the business processes that are affected by SAP ERP 6.0
Installation Considerations
Listed below are a few installation requirements:Assign each SAP ERP 6.0 system landscape to an installation of SAP Solution Manager. This isrequired, so that in the event of a support-relevant incident within your SAP system landscape,SAP Support can remotely access the SAP Solution Manager that hosts the affected systemlandscape.
Use SAP Solution Manager to manage the application you build with SAP NetWeaver and SAPERP 6.0. In this case, it is highly recommended that you update SAP Solution Manager to the latestversion.
Host separate business applications on each installation, if you have multiple instances of SAPSolution Manager.
Do not install SAP Solution Manager as a central component, if you want to reduce the risk ofunavailability. Instead, operate a two-system landscape with test and production environmentof SAP Solution Manager, especially if you are using time-critical functions such as SupportDesk.If you develop your own content, we recommend that you set-up a three-system landscapewith development, test, and production environment.
3.1.1 SAP Solution Manager DiagnosticsSolution Manager Diagnostics provides an efficient and safe root cause analysis of incidents inbusiness applications powered by SAP NetWeaver. It helps monitor operating systems, logsdatabases, Java application activities, and system performance. Solution Manager Diagnostics alsoreports changes in software and configuration, which can lead to malfunctions and errors.SAP Solution Manager and SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics play key roles with regard tosupporting and monitoring system landscapes. For more information, see the SAP NetWeaverMaster Guide at service.sap.com/instguidesNW70.

3.2 Monitoring Using the Alert MonitorAlerts are displayed in the Alert Monitor, using transaction RZ20. Alerts ease the workload ofsystem administrators, since they then track problem messages, instead of a large volume ofsystem data.The Alert Monitor also provides the administration methods that are required to monitor a system.You can therefore set the threshold values for alerts and add or adjust auto reaction and analysismethods. If an alert is triggered, auto reaction methods react automatically; you can investigate thecause of an alert with an analysis method, without leaving the Alert Monitor.The Operations area contains services to manage your SAP application. Based on your applicationconfiguration, recommendations for these services are triggered dynamically.
Monitoring
39 Dezember 2009
Threshold values, methods, detailed help, and four extensive monitor sets with monitors for allaspects of system management are predefined in the monitoring architecture, and areavailable in every SAP system.You can also customize all settings to your own requirements and, for example, configurecustomer-specific monitors so that only the data about your system landscape that is relevantto your needs is displayed.
3.3 CCMS Monitoring ArchitectureThe monitoring of a system landscape is a complex task of significant importance for everycompany that operates one or more SAP systems. The complexity increases with every additionalsystem, component, or extension.With the monitoring architecture of the Computing Center Management System (CCMS), SAPprovides a flexible and universally-usable infrastructure with which you can centrally monitor yourentire IT landscape and which reports problems quickly and reliably.The monitoring architecture is delivered free of cost with every SAP Web Application Server. Thearchitecture runs on every SAP Web Application Server and can easily be extended to includeadditional SAP and non-SAP components.

Log on using a user of SAP Web AS Java, which is assigned either to the role isaadmin or tothe role administrators.
2. Follow the link to CCMS HEARTBEAT CUSTOMIZING.A list of XCM application configurations available for this web application is displayed.
3. Click on the name of an application configuration.A list of available tests is displayed. The tests correspond to the interactive configurationcomponent tests within the XCM Administrator. For example, the jco test checks theconnection to the backend system. If a test is selected, it becomes part of heartbeat and isexecuted automatically.
4. Select the used webshop and enter the catalog, you want to be monitored.Ensure that you enter the correct spelling.
5. Choose the checkbox in front of the configuration name to select the configuration you wouldlike to heartbeat.
It can take up to one hour before the CCMS agent uploads the customizing file from thisdirectory to the central monitoring system CEN system automatically. If you want toupload the files immediately, proceed as follows:1. Log on to the CEN system.2. Go to transaction GRMG.3. Choose ‘Upload from Agent’ to start the upload.
The Heartbeat name is constructed as follows:GRMG.CRM.<APPLICATION NAME>.<XCM Configuration name>.
The monitoring function is not implemented for administrative web applications such asInternet Sales User Administration, Shop Management, or Extended ConfigurationManagement (XCM).
3.4.2 Example: Configuring GRMG Monitoring for the SAP Learning Solution - Content Player
UseYou use the Generic Request and Message Generator (GRMG) to determine possible server orprocess outages. This automatic availability monitoring can be accessed using CCMS. CCMS usesGRMG to check the availability of the J2EE Engine. If the availability check fails, an alert istriggered in the central monitoring system.
PrerequisitesYou have:Installed the CCMS agent, SAPCCMSR, with the j2ee option on that host where your J2EE Engineruns
Registered the CCMS agent in your central monitoring system (CEN) on SAP NetWeaver AS
Process Flow

3.5 Detailed MonitoringThe various monitors can be combined according to the selected system landscape. If SAP ECCServer and a BI system are operating one system, then only one monitor is required, for example,to monitor the SAP NetWeaver area.Application-specific monitors must be considered for each application, regardless of whether or notthe components are operating in one system (client).
3.5.1 Monitoring of SAP ABAP ComponentsYou can use the monitoring architecture of the Computing Center Management System (CCMS) tomonitor an SAP system landscape. The concept of the monitoring architecture is to provide allrequired information in a central monitoring system; this system is referred to in this documentation(irrespective of the actual system ID) as CEN.
Problems are displayed in the alert monitor of CEN as soon as they occur; all log files are alsoaccessible from a central location, which reduces the time for error identification and correction.Additional configuration steps allow advanced technologies such as automatic notifications,meaning that administrators no longer need to actively investigate systems for alerts.

4.1 Starting and StoppingThe procedure for starting and stopping the SAP system depends on:The underlying operating system
The differences between the usage types, for example, the usage type Application Server ABAPversus usage type Application Server Java
In a distributed system landscape, the main difference between ABAP and Java isthat the system database is started automatically when you start the ApplicationServer (ABAP), which is not the same in case of the Application Server (Java).Additional components of SAP ERP 6.0 are not considered in this section.
4.1.1 Detailed Starting and StoppingIn the simplest case, an SAP system consists of only a database and a single application server.You can start and stop the SAP system and its database using operating system tools. There arespecial scripts available or you can use the appropriate program icons to do this. The details areexplained in the installation guides of the respective components.
Start and Stop Sequence
The start sequence of the entire system landscape depends on the applications used and thedistribution of the applications. The following usually applies to start the sequence:The systems that make data available, for example, SAP ECC Server or SAP BW must first bestarted, so that the data is already available at the start for subsequent systems that furtherprocess or display this data.
The sequential order must be reversed accordingly for the stop sequence.If you are using several applications in one instance, then when you start or stop oneapplication of this instance, the same action is performed for all other applications. This meansall applications for the instance start or stop running.
Management of SAP Technology
55 Dezember 2009
Resulting Dependencies
Listed below are the resulting dependencies based on the start and stop sequences describedabove:ABAP-based components and add-ons installed in the same instance start and stop in theadministration environment of SAP NetWeaver.
Java applications are started and stopped by starting and stopping the J2EE server.
Additional components such as the Business Connector have their own start and stopmechanisms.
For applications that contain several components, such as SAP Learning Solution and SAP SRM,you can find detailed descriptions in the relevant Guides for these applications.
4.1.1.1 Example: SAP Enterprise PortalThe SAP Enterprise Portal integrates and works with the following systems:A relational database management system (RDBMS)
An existing user storage mechanism, Users Persistence Storage, such as a directory service(LDAP). These systems are prepared before the portal is installed.
Usage type Application Server
Prerequisites
Before you stop or start components in the portal landscape, ensure the following:The portal runs without any issues.
You have administration rights and privileges to start and stop the processes of the components ofthe portal.
ProcessThe following table summarizes the sequence to stop and start components, and therecommended commands or tools to use for each component of the portal, in a UNIX environment.

4.2 Backup and RecoveryPurpose
Backup saves important business data of your company. Regular backups keep the downtime ofthe system landscape to a minimum during restoration of the infrastructure and business data.The decision for a suitable backup concept must be made at the top management level within thecompany. The backup concept must be worked out in the implementation phase. The goal is tohave a functional specification that records the requirements. Corporate framework conditionsdetermine the contents of the backup concept, such as: System Information: Requests, degree of high availability, backup and recovery times,
maximum downtime, and so on Costs Involved: How much does downtime cost? How much does the relevant backup or
recovery procedure cost? Scope of Implementation: Which jobs in the company must be included in the decision-making
process?
Backup and Recovery - SAP Systems
Unlike SAP R/3 systems, the SAP Business Suite uses several SAP component systems toimplement cross-system processes. Data is no longer held centrally in a single SAP system;instead, it is distributed between several SAP components.Due to the non-transactional character of the document workflow between the different landscapecomponents involved within one ERP Business Scenario, it is impossible to find a common point ofconsistency across the whole ERP landscape. A distributed business system landscape thereforerequires a detailed Backup and Recovery concept. This concept must account for both thebusiness data, which is contained in databases, and the runtime infrastructure.For more detailed information about the technology, methods and standards used, see SAP HelpPortal at help.sap.com Documentation SAP NetWeaver SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s)SAP Library SAP NetWeaver Library Administrator’s Guide Technical Operations Manualfor SAP NetWeaver
The information in the Technical Operations Manual assumes that you are familiarwith database and administration and therefore does not explain, for example, how tobackup an RDBMS system. If you have questions, contact your IT staff and refer tothe operation manuals provided by your database and operating system vendors.
General Recommendations
You must regularly test your backup and recovery concept. A single backup and recovery test isinsufficient, since the ERP landscape is likely to change and render a given concept redundant.System administrators need an up-to-date Backup and Recovery concept to restore failed systems.SAP recommends that you perform a backup:After the initial installation and configuration of the system landscape
After specific changes, such as changes to the configuration, software upgrade of individualcomponents, or replacement of components made to the system landscape. This of coursedepends on the frequency of such changes.
SAP recommends that you backup the runtime infrastructure of all the components ofthe ERP landscape.
Management of SAP Technology
61 Dezember 2009
When you decide which infrastructure components to backup, consider the following factors: Time required for a complete reinstallation Time required for additional configuration Effects of the expected downtime of one or more infrastructure components with regard to
the overall availability of the ERP landscape
A backup process must ensure:
Logical consistency
Restores the ERP system landscape (cross-system data consistency) to a consistent status:The restoration applies at document level at the time of the backup. This includes the successfulrollback of all open business transactions with respect to the exchange of documents.
Physical consistency:Restores individual ERP components to a consistent state, followed by a successful start-up of the restored components, and a successful reconnection to other components.Physical consistency provides a working runtime environment in which newly createdbusiness documents can be exchanged. This is required to develop a transactional conducton user level to react to broken workflows and outdated documents appearing after therestoration.
Recommendations - Backup of Individual Components in the SAP ERP 6.0Landscape
You need to backup your individual components regularly to ensure that you can restore andrecover them if there is a system failure.
You should not use a backup and restore concept for your entire system landscape and singlesystem components just for SAP systems. It should be embedded in all business requirements andtake into account the entire process flow in your enterprise.
Consistency Technology
With the Business Suite, SAP introduces standard business processes, which not only work on thedata of one system, but which uses components of several distributed SAP systems. A SAPBusiness Suite process may start in one system and continue to read or manipulate data in othersystems of a federated system landscape.While this distribution offers advantages with respect to performance, security and load distribution,some tasks like backup or system copy become more demanding than with a single standalonesystem. While it is no problem to create a consistent image of the entire system landscape, if allsystems can be brought down for the backups, this will become a challenging task to performduring online operations.Consistency Technology solves this problem, by allowing you to create a consistent image (orconsistent copy) of a federated system landscape without taking the systems offline. The two typesof consistency technologies available are:
Coordinated database suspensionBy suspending write input and output (I/O)) operations of all database systems during the sameshort period of time, a synchronization point (sync point) can be achieved. A copy of the complete
Management of SAP Technology
Dezember 2009 62
system landscape taken during this short period, for example with a fast copy storage technology,such as split-mirror or snapshot, represents a consistent image of the complete landscape.
Consistent split technology on a storage levelConsistent Split is a new technology on a storage level. It was originally introduced for maintainingconsistency of a remote mirror in case of rolling disasters. This storage-based technology allowsyou to group arbitrary storage volumes, and even possibly volumes on different storage systems,into a Consistency Group. Consistent Split allows you to split a local or remote mirror of thisconsistency group simultaneously to form a consistent copy for all these volumes. This can bedone without any intervention on application or database level. The copy will be consistent becauseinput and output (I/O) on all volumes is suspended at exactly the same point in time.
4.2.1 Detailed Backup and RecoveryWhen you plan a backup and recovery strategy for application, software, and configuration files,you must consider the following elements: Operating system Database data files Database software SAP software and file systems Log files (SAP and others) Software of other system components (file systems and configuration files)
A component that has application data (a database, for example) usually comprises applicationsoftware and configuration files (runtime infrastructure) that need a backup as well. A component,which contains no application data, may comprise configuration files and software that require abackup.The following table lists various categories of system components and details the necessary datathat needs backup or needs to be restored in each category.

The following sections describe specific information about the various elements you must consider,such as, the operating system used, the database software, and so on, when you plan a backupand recovery strategy for application, software, and configuration files.
4.2.1.1 Operating System, Software and Configuration Data
Apart from business-critical application data (generally held in databases), you can also backup thesystem and application software (including configuration files). If you do this, you do not have toreinstall the system and application software if the software becomes damaged.It is always possible to reinstall the operating system, software, and configuration data. However,reinstallation and configuration can take a long time. Therefore, if a backup of the software andconfiguration is available, you can reduce the time needed to restore your system after a systemfailure.
Online BackupThe data contained in the database can be backed up online; however, it is not possible to do thesame for the runtime infrastructure. An online backup refers to the system landscape and not thedatabases that contain the business-critical application, or the infrastructure components.
If you perform a backup while the server is running, open files may not be backed up.
Management of SAP Technology
67 Dezember 2009
File System Backup versus Full System Backup
A file system backup only applies to specific files or files systems, whereas a full system backupapplies to all files and file systems, including the operating system.
After installation of new software components, certain entries in the configuration files of theoperating system cannot be found in the file systems in which the software installation occurred.SAP therefore recommends that you perform a full system backup after installation, and that youbackup the file systems of the installed software and the operating system on a regular basis.
For more information concerning possible backup scenarios, see SAP Service Marketplace atservice.sap.com/atg Advanced Technology Group Backup & Restore Documentation
4.2.1.2 DatabaseSAP recommends that you:
Run the database in archive modeThis means that all actions on the database that modify data are recorded by the database andwritten to a transaction log. With regular full backups of your database (either offline or online), aswell as a complete set of transaction logs since the last backup, it is possible to restore a crasheddatabase to any point in time before the database crashed.
Backup your database every daySince the log files fill up, you must perform several backups of the log files during the day.For more information, see SAP Help Portal at help.sap.com Documentation SAP NetWeaver

4.2.1.3 SAP ERP 6.0 ABAP ComponentsSpecific backup and recovery issues for ABAP components in SAP ERP 6.0 are described in thefollowing list:
SAP Industry Solution BankingIf you use SAP industry solution SAP Banking, then you have to notice the following for:
SAP Business Partner for Financial Services (FS BP)If you use SAP Business Partner for Financial Services (FS BP), then you have to noticethe following:In the standard system, the Business Partner for Financial Services uses the existingarchiving function (transaction SARA). You use the archiving object CA_BUPA to archiveall business partners that are flagged for archiving and the relevant master data.You can only set the archiving indicator and archive a business partner if there are noactive contract objects or change document objects, which means these have already beenarchived.
Management of SAP Technology

The set residence times must have expired as well. You can set the residence times inCustomizing under SAP Business Partner for Financial Services Settings for FinancialServices Tools Archiving. The system checks these before the archiving indicator isset.You set the archiving indicator in the dialog box on the Status tab page or using thetransaction BUPA_PRE_DA.For more information on archiving, see SAP Help Portal at help.sap.comDocumentation SAP ERP 6.0Central Component Financials SAP Banking SAPBusiness Partner for Financial Services Functions Archiving

SAP SEMSAP SEM does not store its own data, but it uses the data storage of the usage type BI.
If SEM is operating on the same system as a BI system than for more information, see the usagetype BI.
If SAP SEM is installed on a different system than the BI system, then SAP SEM must be savedappropriately.
SRM ServerThe only backup type that can guarantee full physical and logical consistency of an SRMlandscape would be an offline backup of the whole landscape. This however, should be doneafter all business users have logged off and the complete business workflow has ended. Toolsthat offer such monitoring of these tasks do not exist yet.You must regularly test your Backup and Recovery concept. A single Backup and Recoverytest is insufficient, since the SRM landscape is likely to change and render a given conceptredundant.
SAP cProject SuiteDocuments, Material, BOMs, MPNs, iPPE Objects
If you lose data in cFolders, it is possible to synchronize the data from the backend system tocFolders using transactions cfe01, cfe02 and cfe03.
In case you lose data in the backend system, you can adjust them by using transactions cfi01, cfi02and cfi03. Data that is changed in cFolders will be transferred to the backend system. All other datais from the backend system.
Virtual Room IntegrationIf you lose data in SAP Enterprise Portal, you must regenerate the relationship in the CollaborationRoom to the cFolders Collaboration manually.
If you lose data in cFolders (Collaboration), the connection to the target (Portal) is lost. Therefore,the empty connection must be deleted manually.
SRM IntegrationIf you back up your SRM system and you lose Shopping Carts in the SRM system, which wereconnected to a cFolders Collaboration, you have to regenerate the Shopping Carts in your cFolderCollaboration.
Management of SAP Technology

If you back up cFolders and you lose cFolders Collaborations, create them again. The connectionbetween the cFolders Collaboration and the Shopping Carts must be regenerated.
SAP E-RecruitingSAP E-Recruiting uses the standard SAP methods of Backup and Recovery. The Backup andRestore concept for SAP E-Recruiting consists of two parts:
Backup and Restore for each component
Cross-system data dependencies and handlingIn addition, the backup concept must cover disaster recovery processes such as loss of thedata center due to fire. In this context, the most important thing to ensure is that backupdevices are not lost as well as normal data storage (by separating storage locations).Based on the type of application data a component holds, you can analyze the backuprequirements of any system component using the categorization scheme for systemcomponents. This allows you to determine an appropriate backup method for the component.

4.3 System CopyPurpose
Companies are constantly confronted with an ever more rapid growth in application landscapes.This growth often requires changes to operating systems and databases. You can perform asystem copy or a migration at various stages in your application life cycle.You create a copy of your database instance, for example, to set up a standby database or for testor development purposes. This allows you to keep the contents of your database up-to-date.Creating system copies also allows you to start operating the standby instance immediately if youexperience problems with the original instance. This enables the business to carry on workingwithout any lengthy period of downtime.
Features
Management of SAP Technology

There are two types of system copies:Homogeneous System Copy: Both, the operating system and the database system stay thesame during a system copy.Heterogeneous System Copy: One of the following is changed during a system copy:
Operating system: In this case, the system copy is called OS migration, Database system: In this case, the system copy is called DB migration. Operating system and database system: In this case, the system copy is called OS/DB
migration.
For more information, see SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/osdbmigration.
System Copy of SAP Systems
Besides the procedures provided by SAP, there may be other methods such as methods offered byhardware partners, which are used to replicate existing SAP systems.SAP systems copied or migrated with such methods are still supported by SAP, but no support isprovided by SAP for non-SAP procedures. Instead, the corresponding supplier of the procedure, forexample, the hardware partner is in charge of providing support for the non-SAP procedure.
SAP recommends that you perform a system copy if you are planning to set up a testsystem, demo system, or training system.
Procedure
You can copy a mixed ABAP Stack and Java Stack system in a single operation, not juststandalone ABAP or Java systems.
When you perform a system copy, all customizing and software units or usage types in the sourcesystem are copied to the target system.
This means that none of the software units or usage types in the target system can be excludedfrom the system copy, or can you select software units or usage types.
You can perform a Unicode conversion as a part of a homogeneous or heterogeneous systemcopy.
This means your SAP system is converted from non-Unicode to Unicode. This requires specialtasks in front of the system copy. If you want to perform the system copy of a Unicode system,where the source and target systems are Unicode systems, the same procedures can be used asfor copying non-Unicode systems.

SAP LSOFE (Front End)After a system copy, SAP recommends that you go through the IMG and if necessary, adjustthe entries for the: Configuration of the content player (LSOCP
Connection to the Front end component (LSOFE)
Connection to the content management system
SAP cProject SuiteAfter creating a system copy of cProjects, there are two references to the same SRM shoppingcart. Both references are valid. However, the XI connection between cProjects and SRM mustbe adjusted to the system copy, so that SRM callbacks reach the copy.If you create an SRM system copy and the process continues in both the original and thecopied system, this can lead to the creation of two purchase orders for materials or resources.
If system-dependent data changes, see SAP Note 762610.

4.5 SAP User ManagementWith the user administration, you create the prerequisites for your employees being able to work inthe SAP system. Create a user master record for every employee that contains all of theinformation about this user. In addition to technical administration data, this includes theauthorizations included in roles and profiles that allow the user to execute an action in the SAPsystem.User and role maintenance and the User Information System are available for maintaining the usermaster records.
4.5.1 Detailed SAP User ManagementMeeting Your Own Security Requirements: Security Policy
Your security requirements are not limited to the SAP NetWeaver platform, but to your entiresystem landscape. SAP therefore recommends that you establish a security policy that reflects thesecurity issues that apply at a company-wide level. Your security policy should cover aspects suchas:
User authentication
Authorizations
Data integrity
Privacy
Auditing and Logging
Management of SAP Technology
83 Dezember 2009
Once you have established your security policy, you can implement and enforce security for thoseproducts that you use within the SAP NetWeaver platform.
User Management – Roles and Profiles
You must create a user and assign a role to the user’s master record before you can use the SAPSystem. Roles are collections of activities, which allow a user to use one or more businessscenarios of an organization.Assigning roles ensures the integrity of business data. Authorization profiles are generated whichrestrict the activities of users in the SAP System, depending on the activities in the roles.A user can only log on to the system if he or she has a user master record.
A user menu and authorizations are assigned to the user master record via one or more roles. Thetransactions, reports and Web-based applications in the roles are accessed using user menus.User menus should only contain the typical functions in the daily work of a particular user.
User Management ToolThe tools available to perform identity management functions depend on the type of installation youhave. Listed below are some tools for various SAP systems:
User Administration and Identity Management in ABAP SystemsThe tools for user management on ABAP systems are:
User Maintenance (transactions SU01, SU10)
Role Maintenance (transaction PFCG)
Indirect role assignment using HR-ORG
User Information System (transaction SUIM)
Central User Administration (transactions PFCG, SM59, SU01, SCUA, SCUM, SCUG,SUGR, SCUL)
User Administration for SAP Java SystemsThe User Management Administration Console is used for user administration on SAP Javasystems. The user management administration console is a Web-based tool that providesadministrators with the functions they need to manage users, groups, roles, and user-related datain SAP User Management Engine (UME). It is available in three forms: Standalone Web tool If you are using UME with SAP Enterprise Portal, the administration console is integrated in the
User Administration role Security Provider service of the Visual Administrator
The J2EE Engine supports the architecture defined in the Sun J2EE 1.3 Specification.Although you can create and modify users both in the UME administration console and inthe Visual Administrator, SAP recommends that you use the UME administration console.

4.6 High AvailabilityPurpose
High availability applications allow you to maximize downtime security and minimize downtimes.You can achieve this objective controlling the growth of redundant data and by implementingsuitable logic to control redundant systems.
Overview
At SAP, the focus on high availability (HA) is always directed at business applications and theirrelated components. SAP relies on the high availability applications of partner products with regardto the components such as, the operating system, database, and hardware, which are mandatoryfor implementing the infrastructure.
For more information, see SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/ha.
To gain competitive advantage, you must think of a collaborative business. This means integratingexisting heterogeneous system landscapes to include business partners, customers, and suppliers.The responsibilities concerning the use of a high availability application should be divided betweenCustomers, Partners, and SAP as described below:
Management of SAP Technology
Dezember 2009 94
CustomerDecision for and against high availability applications
Operation of a high availability environment
PartnerProvisions for hardware, infrastructure, and high availability applications
Implementation of a high availability application at customer using their own and technology or SAPtechnology
SAPSupports and provides technologies to enable the implementation of partner high availabilityapplications
No certification of high availability applications of individual partners
For more information, see SAP Service Marketplace atservice.sap.com/partners
The trend is towards open system architectures in which end-to-end business processes combinedwith Web services run on multiple distributed application components. Such environments demandhigh availability not only for single components, but also for entire scenarios.
SAP, along with partners, has developed a range of high availability applications,which many customers have already in use. The applications you choose will varyaccording to your system landscape. Ensure that you discuss your plans with yourSAP consultant and hardware partner before implementation.
4.6.1 DowntimesDowntime defines the time during which you cannot use a system or a resource productively.Irrespective of how the SAP system landscape is defined (with or without a high availabilityapplication); a breakdown of one or several components always requires action. To cope with theseexceptional situations, it is imperative to ensure that the necessary resources are available in theevent of malfunctions, problems, queries, such as an SAP specialist or a network administrator.There are two types of Downtimes described in the following chapters.
4.6.1.1 Planned DowntimesPlanned downtime is the time for scheduled maintenance and upgrade during which a systemcannot be used for normal productive operations. This time is used for a variety of purposes so thata system can function optimally and reliably. Some of the possible causes of planned downtime areas follows:
Hardware maintenance
Upgrades to new releases of SAP application components, database or operating system
Database reorganization
Database backup
Archiving of SAP business objects
Management of SAP Technology
95 Dezember 2009
Preparation
You must:Agree upon a planned downtime in close cooperation between the IT department and therespective departments.This is the only way of defining the timeframe for the necessary downtimes, without restrictionsbeing placed on the way the application works.Inform all those involved in advance about the upcoming system downtime
Keep the downtime as brief as possible
SAP System – Planned Downtime
The following table lists the possible changes in SAP systems and the downtimes, which can beplanned in each case to rectify the problem:

4.6.1.2 Unplanned DowntimesUnplanned downtime is the time during which a system cannot be used for normal productiveoperations due to unforeseen failure in hardware or software components, or operator mistakes.Unplanned downtime can be extremely costly to an organization. The source of unplanneddowntime can be in any of the layers that make up the complete software and hardwareenvironment:Front-end and middleware services for connection to the web, including the Internet TransactionServer (ITS), the SAP Web Application Server (SAP Web AS), and the SAP Enterprise Portal.
SAP system services of the individual application components of the SAP Business Suite – such asthe Business Warehouse (BW), Business-to-Business Procurement (BBP) – and the SAP kernel.
Underlying hardware and software services, such as the database services, network and operatingsystem services, and various hardware services, including servers, disks, memory, anduninterruptible power supply (UPS).
The risk of unplanned downtimes occurring can be minimized by avoiding single point of failures(SPOFs) in a complex system landscape. For the different components in a complex systemlandscape, there are several ways of avoiding these SPOFs. No measures for avoiding unplanneddowntimes specified in the following list are a safeguard against logical errors. You can only protectagainst logical errors by implementing the appropriate backup and recovery measures.The following table provides a list of SAP components, their SPOFs, and their corresponding highavailability applications.

4.6.2 Detailed High AvailabilityAs more and more customers deploy SAP systems in SAP Business Suites for their globaloperations, the need for maximized system availability becomes more and more crucial. Highavailability is a technically complex area, and implementation considerations vary according to thenature of your system setup. This section illustrates the possibilities available.
SAP does not offer customized high availability applications. You must develop thisaccording to your business requirements. However, you can contact your SAPconsultant, hardware supplier, or the SAP Competence Centre for technical guidancewhen developing a high availability strategy or while implementing a specific productor feature.

4.7 ArchivingDefinition
Data Archiving allows you to remove data from the database and store it in a consistent and securemanner. The archived data is stored in a file system and from there can be moved to other, morecost efficient storage media.
Purpose
Generally large amounts of database data is produced in the production system of a businessapplication, which often times is reflected in a deterioration of system performance and anincreased use of resources. Costs can also be negatively affected by large data volumes, sinceresources and efforts spent on database administration go up as a result.Therefore, data from closed business processes, meaning data that is no longer needed in everyday business processes, should be moved out of the database, in order to gain a reduction incosts, and improve performance and system availability. Simply deleting this data is often not avalid option, due to legal data retention requirements. This means that the data has to be removedfrom the database and stored in such a way that it is always accessible for reading if necessary.This is the task of SAP Data Archiving, which allows you to removed data from the database andstore it in a consistent and secure manner. The archived data is stored in a file system and fromthere can be moved to other, more cost efficient storage media.

4.7.1 Detailed ArchivingData archiving is an administrative task that must be done regularly. How often you archive largelydepends on the growth rate of your database tables. The technological foundation of data archivingis located in SAP NetWeaver and is available in two different variations:
Archive Development Kit (ADK)-based Archiving
The Archive Development Kit (ADK) is the technical framework and basis for an SAP data archivingapplication. ADK is a development environment and an application program interface between SAPapplications, the database, and the archive files where your data is stored. It is available in everystandard SAP application and is used by SAP.
ADK ensures that data archiving is independent of hardware and release changes and providesyou with the tools you need for data archiving. ADK includes: Archive administration functions (transaction SARA):
Enables you to administer all your archiving programs (write, delete, read, and reload) andgenerate background jobs for these programs.
An application programming interface (API):You can use this API to develop your own archiving programs
Archiving-specific function modules:Function module such as, automatic job scheduling and compression during archiving
XML-based Archiving
XML-based data archiving has the same purpose as ADK-based archiving. Both are used toremove complete business data, which is data no longer needed in online business processes,from the database. It stores the data in such a way that it is still accessible for future use. XMLarchiving is used primarily for XML archiving objects implemented by ABAP applications with XMLinterfaces. It is based on the following principles:
Comprehensive use of standards
XML: A generally accepted markup language and exchange format for complexobjects, especially business objects, which are supported by a wide range of tools.Compared to ADK, this format is used to archive data objects as whole objects (notbroken down into different records). XML schema used to validate and describe thestructures of XML documents
HTTP: This protocol is used for secure communication between the application systemand the XML data archiving service (XML DAS).
WebDAV: This is used as a model for the hierarchical organization of archived dataand as a general (not SAP-specific) protocol for connecting storage systems includingarchive systems.
JAVA: This programming language is a platform-independent and used outside theSAP world.
J2EE: Is used as a standard for the development of JAVA-based enterpriseapplications.
Flexible data access, which is available even in long term
Management of SAP Technology
101 Dezember 2009
Independent from the application system that generates the data. This is in case a system has ashorter life cycle than the data to be archived.
Independent from the application system technology, which is also relevant for JAVA applications
Basis for cross-system data accesses and searches
Centralized archiving service to minimize administration efforts for system landscapes withseveral components
Both the ADK and XML Archive API provide basic functions and services for development andexecution of archiving programs.

The logshows the number of entries archived per table as detailed information for each success messageof the data object.The system variants that SAP delivers for deletion jobs that are used in the deletion programs write– depending on whether you choose the test or productive mode – a details or minimal output inthe application log.To archive the master data, you have to adjust the variants that you have created yourselfmanually.Please have a look at help.sap.com SAP ERP SAP ERP Central Component SAPLibrary Collection and Disburesment (PSCD) Archiving
Data Archiving for SAP Catch Weight ManagementBased on the ERP system, the SAP Catch Weight Management solution provides industry-specificfunctions in the area of Financial Accounting.Archiving in Inventory Accounting uses the archiving functions of the classic solution in SAP ERP.When Inventory Accounting is used, the system generates data in Inventory Accounting in additionto the documents in SAP ERP. Since downstream processes run on the SAP ERP data, this data cannot be deleted until the downstream processes have finished.
