Technical Operations for SAP NetWeaver 
Designing, implementing, and running SAP NetWeaver at peak performance 24 hours a day has never been more vital for your business success than today.
This guide provides a starting point for administrators in procedures for the optimal operation and use of SAP NetWeaver. It contains specific information for various administration tasks, and lists the tools that you can use to carry them out. It also refers to documentation required for these tasks. You must use this guide in combination with other documentation such as the Master Guide and the SAP Library.
Constraints
This document assumes that the system or systems are running, or could be started at least once. This documentation therefore contains no information about installation. Configuration tasks are only described if they also occur during running operation.
About this Document
With SAP NetWeaver 7.0, installable software units (systems, Standalone Engines, and client) and IT scenarios have been defined. The documentation in this operations manual reflects this concept.
Note
For more information about the new division into installable software units and IT scenarios, see section 3 of the Master Guide (

Master Guide 
). For more information
about IT landscapes, see section 4 of the Master Guide.
This Technical Operations Manual is accordingly structured into the following main sections:

Information concerning general administration of an SAP NetWeaver system is offered by SAP Support in SAP standards for key operations processes. Each standard contains best-practice procedures on how to run the individual tasks, explanations on which tools inside SAP Solution Manager should be used, available training and services that support the adoption of the standard. You can find these documents on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/supportofferings > Standard Support > Media Library.
