In the SAP world, we place a great deal of emphasis on mission critical data along with roles and updates. One function that perhaps holds the greatest amount of responsibility in this area is that of the SAP Basis Administrator. SAP Basis, being the foundation of essential functionality within SAP applications, drives everything from communications with the operating system through memory management, business data exchange, and web requests along with runtime collection of application data.
At the helm of all this is the SAP Basis Administrator, responsible for monitoring and managing the system, its administration tools, server-side Javascript and ABAP scripting, even the use of the business server page when building online stores and portals. Your SAP Basis Administrator is the individual overseeing transfer modifications for screen, program, and layout from development through the production system. They also administer Solution Manager (SolMan), the monitoring tool responsible for delivering important R/3 system alerts from one centralized location.
Other responsibilities that fall under the Basis Administrator’s purview include:
- Database Monitoring
- Utilities Administration
- Resource Management (memory, buffer, etc.)
- Internet Access Control Over the System and Business Objects
- User Management Authorization and Profile Management Tools
- Client-server Architecture and Configuration
- The Presentation Layer’s Graphical User Interface Design
Since this role is charged with everything from user profiles through security, data management, and accessibility, the Basis Administrator is perhaps the most important role within any organization running SAP.
