Administration and Operations in the ABAP Environment

As an administrator in the ABAP environment, you have different tools and features available that support you in your daily work.

As an administrator in the ABAP environment, you focus on administration and operational tasks that aren't managed by SAP. Such tasks can include, for example:

• Account and organization management, including identity and access management for your users

• Monitoring of performance issues and exceptions in your own applications

  Such a monitoring includes response times of application-related communication endpoints, SQL statements issued by the application, application jobs, or ABAP runtime errors originating from custom code.

• System sizing, including a regular review of the overall resource utilization

  Such a system sizing can include a daily check of resource utilization peaks and a monthly check of resource utilization trends.

• Software lifecycle of custom applications (add-on updates or custom transports)

• Tenant management if you manage multi-tenant custom applications

• Monitoring of integrations with other cloud or on-premise based services
