Replacement of Visual Administrator by SAP NetWeaver Administrator (Changed)

Effects on System Administration

Various disadvantages of the VA are overcome with the replacement, such as:

● The VA is a standalone tool which is not integrated into other SAP tools. The SAP NetWeaver Administrator is integrated with other SAP tools.

● The VA requires an installation on the front end; this is version-dependent. The SAP NetWeaver Administrator runs in the browser without a front-end installation.

● To be able to operate the VA, operating system level access is required. This is not always possible due to security settings. Since the SAP NetWeaver Administrator is a browser-based tool, it does not have this restriction.
