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 Note

For more information about the new division into installable software units and IT scenarios, see section 3 of the Master Guide ( http://service.sap.com/installnw70 Master Guide ). For more information about IT landscapes, see section 4 of the Master Guide.

End of the note.

This Technical Operations Manual is accordingly structured into the following main sections:

Sections	Description of the Subsections
Docupedia — SAP NetWeaver Operations Guide	Information concerning general administration of an SAP NetWeaver system is available in the SAP NetWeaver Operations Guide on Docupedia. This guide provides you - in your role as administrator - with an introduction to procedures for the optimal operation and use of SAP NetWeaver. You will find generic and conceptual information on how to operate SAP NetWeaver and which tools SAP offers for that. For more information see http://docupedia.sap.com Further release- and SAP NetWeaver product-specific information how to carry out administration tasks you can find in the following chapters.
Administration of SAP NetWeaver Systems	Contains the administration tasks for SAP NetWeaver systems on which one or more usage types of SAP NetWeaver are installed and configured. The usage types of SAP NetWeaver, which you can select during installation, include: Application Server ABAP (AS ABAP) Application Server Java (AS JAVA) EP Core (EPC) Enterprise Portal (EP) Business Intelligence (BI) Mobile Infrastructure (MI) Process Integration (PI), which covers the contents of the previous product component XI Development Infrastructure (DI)
Administration of Standalone Engines	Contains the administration tasks for additional installable entities that function "standalone", and that are not really SAP NetWeaver systems. They provide a specific server function in combination with one or more usage types of SAP NetWeaver, which include: Search and Classification (TREX) SAP liveCache Technology RTC Application Sharing Server SAP Content Server SAP NetWeaver Landscape-Wide Job Scheduler SAP Web Dispatcher Standalone Enqueue Server
Administration of Client Programs	Contains the administration tasks for client programs. Client programs are additional installable programs that are either on the local front end PCs of users or in backend systems. They are used to access functions of NW systems or standalone engines in landscapes. These include: SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio J2SE Adapter Engine (PI) SAP NetWeaver Developer Workplace
Administration of SAP NetWeaver IT Scenarios	Contains administration information that is specific to the individual IT scenarios.

The subsections include information about the following points (if available):

Technical system landscape (architecture)
Monitoring
Administration (tasks); these can be divided into periodic tasks and "on demand" tasks
Software logistics
Troubleshooting

Example

During installation, you have selected the Usage Type Process Integration (PI) in addition to Application Server for Java (AS Java) and Application Server for ABAP (AS ABAP), and require more information about the administration of a specific PI scenario, such as Enabling Application-to-Application Processes or Enabling Business-to-Business Processes.

In this case, for basic information that applies equally to all scenarios that use PI, such as user administration, logging, and tracing, and software logistics, see the Technical Operations Manual, Administration of SAP NetWeaver Systems section PI subsection .

For information about additional administration tasks for the scenarios, such as monitoring in the Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK), see the sections for the relevant scenarios under Administration of SAP NetWeaver IT Scenarios.
