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 are pending while the system is running.

About this Document

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

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

Sections	Description of the Subsections
General Administration	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 usage types of SAP NetWeaver are installed and configured. The usage types for SAP NetWeaver PI include: ●      Application Server ABAP (AS ABAP) ●      Application Server Java (AS JAVA) ●      Process Integration (PI)
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 Web Dispatcher ●      Standalone Enqueue Server ●      Decentralized Advanced Adapter Engine ●      Adapter Engine (Java SE)
Administration of 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

You require more information about the administration of a particular PI scenario, for example Enabling Application-to-Application Processes or Enabling Business-to-Business Processes.

For general 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 under Administration of SAP NetWeaver Systems → PI.

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 IT Scenarios.
