Background documentationTechnical Operations for SAP NetWeaver Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

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 are pending while the system is running.

About this Document

SAP has defined installable software units (systems, standalone engines, and clients).

This documentation about technical operations is structured accordingly into the following main sections:

Sections

Description of the Subsections

General Administration Tasks

Contains over-arching topics that cannot be restricted to one SAP NetWeaver system or one standalone engine, such as high availability, security and user administration, system copy, and licensing.

Administration of Databases

Contains the administration tasks for databases

Administration of SAP NetWeaver Systems

Contains the administration tasks for SAP NetWeaver systems on which one or more installable units of SAP NetWeaver are installed and configured.

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.

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
