How you will give new authorizations?

Ans : Add t-code to a role in PFCG and generate the profile.

ADS configuration and is it possible to configure in abap system?

Ans : ADS (adobe document services) is a component that comes with AS Java, need to install java stack
as on add on (if abap is already installed) or separate instance.

How can u do the authorizations trace? Explain?

Ans : The R/3 System enables you to find out which authorization objects are checked when you run a
particular transaction, report, or program. To record authorization checks, use the system trace (ST01).

How can u get the authorization failures from the users? users authorization is failed?
Ans : To analyze an authorization failure, call transaction SU53 and determine which authorizations are
required for your task.

How can u modify or add the authorizations (after getting the user dump or user trace)?
Ans : By using su24 (it can be possible thru expert mode only) or manual at authorizations screen( if we
r using su24 and modify the required authorization object, then it shows the authorizations status
as"standard" , if u do the modification by mannually by choosing the"manually" button at the
authorizations screen and add or modify the requried authorization object to the role or profile , then it
shows the authorizations status as "manual".), after that u need to regenarate the profile and role too.

What is an authorization object? Authorization object class?

Ans : An object class is a logical grouping of authorization objects that share a similar Purpose or
business area. For example, object class Basis: Administration contains authorization objects that control
access to Basis transactions. The authorization object is the template from which the authorization is
created. It is
used in the ABAP code for authorization checks. Each object has up to 10 fields that are checked using
AND logic before access is granted to the desired transaction.

Have u solved any ABAP Dump analysis? how?

Ans : By seeing the ABAP dump error we come to whether the error belongs to insufficient memory, table
space error or ABAP program error or Developer error If it belongs to insufficient memory dump error it
displays at which stage the transaction terminated and how much more memory is required. So we need
to
increase the memory through instance profile.
If the error belongs to Table Space error it displays table name. So we need to increase the Tablespace of
that table.
If the error belongs to ABAP program error we have to analyze the program through SE30.
If the error belongs to Developer, then we need to cancel the ABAP program.

What would you do to test the background processing consistencies?

Ans : Run SM65 - Analysis tool

also need to back up your OS files. make sure you backup /usr/sap completely after a successful DB
backup

During backup what kind of files you take?

Ans : Apart from performing Online, Offline, Full or incremental backup, you have to decide what to
backed up?
Database : data files, online redo log files, control files, logs and profiles, offline redo log files.
Through Brbackup and Brrestore you can do datafiles, online, control, logs and profiles.
Through Brarchive you can do logs and profiles and offline redo log files.

SAP data : sap data files, sap executables

Other files : operating system files and database executables.
Explain the backup strategies in R/3?
Ans : A full backup is always performed with backup_mode = full. In a full backup, there are two ways of
writing data to tape:
Backing up data with RMAN
Backing up data with OS tools

What is data archiving?

Ans : Data Archiving removes from the database application data that is no longer required, and places it
in archive files that can be accessed and analyzed at a later date.

How you will do client copy? If SAP * user is not available at all in your system then how u will
do client copy?
Ans : In SCC4 define a client, login to define client with SAP* perform with SCCL local client copy. There
is no question that sap system does not have SAP* user, even if it is deleted, it will regenerate when
restart.

SCCL = local client copy

SCC1 = client copy by transport system
SCC3 = client copy logs
SCC4 = Managing client
SCC5 = delete a client
SCC 7= post import activities
SCC 8 = client export (KX, KO, KT files exported), client import with STMS_import
SCC 9= Remote Client copy

How to lock a client? How to delete a client?

Ans : Run Function Module in SE37
1) SE37
2) Enter function module SCCR_LOCK_CLIENT
3) Fress F8
4) specify client and execute.

follow similar procedure for unlocking a client.

To delete a client log on to the client to be deleted, use SCC5 and check T000 box. you can delete with
SCC4 but it will not delete client dependent data, to remove completely use SCC5.

After client copy is table space and database sizes will be increased or not?

How to check CPU usage in EP?

If client copy is stopped in middle, what happens if you want to start it again?
Ans : After stopping the client copy, if you do not want to continue the copy from the step where it got
stopped and if you need to start again fresh from the starting then you need to restart the instance once.
Otherwise it would ask you to continue old run as the lock entry of old copy exists in SM12. If you restart
the instance the lock gets deleted and it can be started again from the starting. As suggested above,
before starting the copy again make sure to delete the client and create again newly and copy freshly as
this will remove the inconsistencies caused to stopped client copy.

Will a client copy transfer the background job schedules and all client dependent data?
Ans : It depend on client profile which you choose for client copy, SAP_ALL will copy all client dependent
data including schedules to the new client. Remember that ABAP programs are always client independent.
Only the masterdata (variant) is client dependent.

Consider a client 800 this client having 75 users but 15 users account was locked, I want to
unlock this 15 users account at a time how you do?
Ans : you can use SU10 and unlock all users. you can use EWZ5 transaction and unlcok all users.

Explain DB architecture?
Ans : An Oracle database consists of a set of files and the Oracle instance.
The files are:
init.ora file
control files
data files
online redo log files
offline redo log files
The Oracle instance consists of the allocated shared memory resources and the following
database background processes:
DBWR = Database writer
LGWR = Log writer
CKPT = Checkpointer
RECO = Recovery process
PMON = Process monitor
There are two basic writing background processes in the Oracle database system:
Database writer writes the data blocks that have been changed from the system global area back to the
data files asynchronously
Log writer writes the logs of the changes that have been made to the data blocks to the redo log files
synchronously
The archive process copies the redo log files that are currently not in use.
The checkpointer assists the internal writing process at a checkpoint.
SMON = System monitor
ARCH = Archive process

What are the steps of Kernel Upgrade and what are files?
Ans :
1. First of all, go to the SAP Service Marketplace (service.sap.com), and download your desired kernel
version:
Downloads --> SAP Support Packages --> Entry by Application Group --> SAP NetWeaver --> SAP
Netweaver --> SAP Netweaver <version> --> Entry by Component --> <select component> --> <select
your system version> --> #Database independent (this is the part I. In the same step, select your
database to download the part II of the package).
2. After you have the two parts downloaded, log into the OS level and uncar the 2 parts in separate
directories. Copy the part I in a new folder, and copy the part II into the same folder (there are cases
that files may need to be replaced. replace them, don't worry).
3. If on Windows, disable Windows service SAP_[SID]_##.
4. Stop SAP, the database, SAPOSCOL, sapccm* and saprouter (if they exist)).
5. Backup the old kernel. Usually it is located in: </usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/<uc or nuc>/<system>. it
might also be located in /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run
The default kernel location is: /sapmnt/SID/exe . When the SAP instance is starting up by startsap
command, the kernel from /sapmnt/SID/exe is overwriting the kernel in /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run . So
always is better to upgrade kernel in /sapmnt/SID/exe directory.
6. Delete the old original kernel, and copy the new kernel there. (keep backup !)
7. if on Unix as user root : saproot.sh [SID]
8. if on Windows, enable Windows service SAP_[SID]_##.
9. if on Windows Start the services related
10. start SAP.
11.Now just confirm the new kernel version in SAP with this command:
disp+work | more
How to check Kernel, tp versions?
Ans : Kernel version check, three ways
1) command promt disp+work.exe (short) or disp+work -v (details) or R3trans -t
2) in any transaction > go to system > in the bottom of status screen > kernel info
3) go to SM51 and click on release notes button

TP version check
1) at command prompt tp -v & r3trans -v
2) SPAM> utilities>check transport tool

How many files to download for kernel upgrade?

Ans : From service market place download database independent (part 1) and your database (part II)

What are different types of RFC?

Ans : There are mainly 4 types of RFC communication in SAP. They are
1.Synchronous RFC
2.Asynchronous RFC
3.Transactional RFC
4.Queued RFC

Synchronous RFC (sRFC) : In this type of RFC communication, the calling program waits until the
requested processing step on the remote system has ended and then continues to work locally. In other
words, both the systems involved must be available at the time the call is made.

Asynchronous RFC (aRFC) : In this type of RFC communication, the calling program gives the request to
the remote system and immediately continues to work locally. The requested processing step is executed
on the remote system in isolation. If the remote system cannot be reached at the time of the call, the
asynchronous calls of the RFC client are lost.

Transactional RFC (tRFC) : This type of RFC communication is similar to asynchronous RFC but by
allocating a transaction ID (TID) it guarantees that if a request is sent several times because of network
problems it is processed only once. Unlike asynchronous RFC, in Transactional RFC the remote system
does not have to be available at the moment the RFC client program start the call. The data is held in the
source system until the target system is available. The report program RSARFCSE is called in the
background at regular intervals and tries to place the unsuccessful requests, identified by their
transaction id again.

Queued RFC (qRFC) : This RFC communication is an extension to the transactional RFC. In this method,
all the requests are queued up (inbound queue and outbound queue) and are processed in a sequence
only if it is certain that all preceding calls are processed correctly. This method guarantees that all the
requests are processed in the sequence in which they are received. This type of RFCs will be used in SCM
(APO) systems for CIFqueues etc where requests have to be processed in an order.

How to assign object to 100 roles?

Ans : Go to SE11 T-Code.. from there go to the table agr_agrs. You will be asked to provide the Access

What is spool request? What are the different spool statuses?

Ans : Spool request contain information regarding printer model, formatting to be done on the data to be
output (print). spool request is stored in TemSe (temporarily sequential directory), spool request has
different status like Completed, Waiting, Inprocess, Printing, Problem, Error, Archive, Time, -, +.
Spool request is created by dialog or background work process. status of spool request is checked by
SP01.

What is the difference between spool request and output/print request?

Ans : spool request contain information about printer model and formatting to be done on the data to
be output while output/print request contain all the data in the format that printer can understand.
A spool workprocess format the data which is mention in spool request and generate output request or
print request. spool workprocess create output/print request.

What is your system landscape?

What are Homogenous and Heterogeneous system copy and how you will do that?
Ans :

another system of same kind, like same os/db on both the systems.
A Heterogenous System copy is a copy from one system to another system of a different kind, like
different os/db in either of those.

What will you observe in System log (SM21)?

Ans : This transaction is useful to view the log of the sap system for various operations. This log will be

Difference between SPAD and SPAU?

Ans : Transaction SPDD is use to perform modification adjustment to certain ABAP Dictionary objects
such as domains, data elements, table structures, transparent tables, pooled tables, cluster tables, and
table technical settings. Not performing modification adjustment for these
objects would cause data loss.

After activating the new Repository, Transaction SPAU is use to perform modification adjustment for
objects for which omitting modification adjustment would NOT lead to data loss. These objects include:
Some ABAP Dictionary objects (lock objects, match codes, and views)

All other Repository objects (such as module pools, ABAP programs, function modules, menus, and
screens)

What is the difference between SE09 and SE10? Explain their tasks?
Ans : The Customizing Organizer (CO) (Transaction code SE10) records Customizing changes in change
requests (of type CUST) which can be released to the transport system for export to other systems in the
R/3 System landscape.
The Workbench Organizer (WBO) (Transaction code SE09) records ABAP Development Workbench
changes in change requests (of type SYST), which can then be released to the Transport system for
export to other systems in the R/3 System landscape.
Customizing changes are saved to a Customizing change request. Development changes are saved to
Workbench change requests.
Customizing changes consist of table entries.
Workbench change requests concern changes to R/3 Repository objects, such as ABAP programs,
screens, data dictionary objects and global documentation.

How many types of transport requests? Explain?

Ans : There are three types of transports
K type : Transport k type implements transport of development objects from integration system to
consolidation system. When u create a transport request using the work bench organizer, it always
chooses this transport type by default meaning that all transportable change requests stored in the
workbench organizer are allocated this transport types, the objects are transported to the consolidation
system without changing the objects system owner which means transported objects become repair
objects and no corrections are allowed to imported objects.
C type: With this transport type objects change system owner after they are transported which means
source system of the object looses its ownership after the object is transported. So the target system in
which objects are transported becomes the original system. In other words objects are transported as
original objects so they can be corrected / modified in the target system too.
 T type: this transport type is useful when you want copy objects between two systems in a group i.e
when the system other then the consolidation system receives a copy of objects. Objects included in a
transport of type T do not change their system owner, so original system remains same.

are super users.

DDIC is maintenance user which used for any upgrade or installation like applying support packs, notes,
add-ons TMS configuration etc... you can log on to system with DDIC only while system in upgrade
status. Initial password is 19920706

SAP* is used for client copy and can be used as a back entry in system while system having problem. it
does not required user master record and has default password 'pass'. For security reasons you must de-
activate sap* user in the parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstart=1. Inital password is 06071992.
