The variants of the SAP GUI are suitable only for working with SAP systems based

on AS ABAP. SAP GUI for Java does not offer access to SAP systems based on AS
Java. The name SAP GUI for Java refers to its implementation technology. This
GUI has been implemented in Java and can be used on front ends that do not run
a Windows operating system (for example, front ends that run Mac OS X or
Linux).
SAP applications based on AS Java are accessed using:
Applet
Browser
The /NEX command immediately terminates your logon without querying the
dialog windows first. All SAP GUI sessions of your terminal session are closed and
the entries that have not been saved are lost
Using SAP NetWeaver Business Client successfully in combination with SAP
Solution Manager requires that your user in the SAP system has at least one
work center role assigned
Before deleting locks, the system administrator must first check (using
transaction SM04) whether the user who owns the lock is still logged on to the
system. You must only delete lock entries with transaction SM12 if the lock owner
is no longer logged on to the system but still owns the lock (for example, if the
connection between the SAP GUI and the SAP system has been broken because
the user has switched off his or her front-end computer without logging off from
the system).
write 'This is my first ABAP program!'.
Make sure that you use single quotes () and not double quotes () in this line.
Clients correspond to independent business entities and can be used to
represent a company in an SAP system. This means that if an SAP system has
several clients, then several companies can be represented and made
simultaneously active in that system. The client has a corresponding key field in
the tables of the database used by that SAP system. When working in a client,
you only have access to business data from the same client
Alternatively, choose the Exit pushbutton on the SAP Easy Access screen or enter
the /NEND command in the command field. If several SAP GUI sessions (window
sessions) are open, choose the Exit pushbutton to close only the active window.
The dialog field for logging off appears in the last window only.
From the perspective of the Windows operating system, an SAP session is a
normal application. You can also close the SAP GUI sessions by using the key
combination Alt + F4 on the operating system. When you close the last window
of your session, the Log Off dialog box is also displayed
System administrators can use the USERS_SSM table to determine whether or
not users are allowed to switch between the SAP menu and their user menus.
The availability of the user or SAP menus does not affect the authorization of the
user. This means that a user can always call authorized functions by using a
transaction code, independent of the menu structure

As long as you have the appropriate authorization, you can also display user
menus other than the ones assigned to you in your user master record. To
perform this action, choose the Other menu pushbutton. Use the Create role
pushbutton to start the role maintenance transaction, PFCG.
The complete Favorites menu, including the folder structures, can easily be
copied by uploading or downloading it from one SAP system to another SAP
system. The downloaded Favorites menus are stored temporarily on the frontend computer.
To change the name of a transaction in favorites, highlight the corresponding
favorite entry and select the menu path Favorites Change. You can change and
save the text in the dialog box that opens. You can delete the Favorites entries
that you no longer need. Deleting the entries deletes the link to the
corresponding functions from your Favorites list. If you want to delete the entire
Favorites menu, highlight the entry Favorites and right-click to display the
available context menu. Choose Delete all favorites.
Use the following keys to navigate using the keyboard:
1. TAB allows you to move from one field element to the next element within
a field group.
2. Ctrl + TAB allows you to move from one field group to the first element of
the next field group.
3. Ctrl + / allows you to move directly to the OK Code field.
Alternatively, you can use a drag-and-drop action or the context menu to copy
transactions into the Favorites area. The context menu is opened by a right-click
action.
The terms SAP instance and Application Server are often used synonymously
The types and number of the work processes to be started for each instance are
configured using the SAP system profile parameter.
Behind the VB* tables, there are VBHDR (update headers), VBMOD (update
modules), VBDATA (update data), and VBERROR (possible error information), the
table structures can be displayed using the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11).
Spool requests can be created by dialog work processes or background work
processes. Spool work processes do not create spool requests.
Each selectable printer must print at the operating system level.
In Data Structure of an SAP ABAP System the term SAP system always refers to
the ABAP stack of an SAP system.
In earlier releases, packages were called development classes.
You can find an extensive collection of example programs for testing by using
transaction code ABAPDOCU.
Every database system also contains a dictionary. (T/F)

If you want to check where a particular data definition (data element, domain,
table, or similar) is used in the SAP system, then you can look in the where-used
list in transaction SE11 for that data definition.
Java EE is a set of rules that must be fulfilled by applications if have to be
regarded as Java EE-compliant and if they are to be executed on a Java EE Server
(which must also comply with these rules).
Starting with enhancement package 1 of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, SAP provides CM
Services. With the close integration of CM Services with the mechanism of the
enhanced CTS, you can now manage your development configuration together
with your transport landscape through the central CTS system. CM Services are
the successor of the CMS, which is now in maintenance mode
To access the PAM, go to SAP Service Marketplace and choose quick link /pam.
For more information about sizing, go to SAP Service Marketplace and choose
quick link /quicksizer. Here is a link to the Quick Sizer tool. Sizing is an ongoing
process. Whenever additional new users access the system or new applications
are used, it may be necessary to adjust the sizing.
The SAP NWDI supports the centralized management and control of source texts
in the Design Time Repository (DTR). The SAP NWDI also enables the centralized
administration of the archives associated with a development project in the
Component Build Service. With the help of Change Management Services (CM
Services) that allow integration into the ABAP-based CTS, you can manage and
control the entire software life cycle. The SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (the
integrated development environment) supports the creation and local building of
components.
Note that not all error corrections can be maintained using Note Assistant. It is
not possible to change table definitions by using Note Assistant

environment, see SAP Service Marketplace, quick link /erp-ehp. To give
participants a feel of the content of SAP enhancement packages, feel free to
show this link and the links for new functionality in SAP enhancement package 6
for SAP ERP 6.0
Under SAP Easy Access settings, switch on the display of the first level. By doing
so, all assigned roles are listed separately. Without this setting, the redundant
menu entries are automatically suppressed.
SAP NetWeaver Mobile is available only as an add-on to the EHP for
SAPNetWeaver 7.3. For more information, see SAP Note 1645275
The duration of mainstream maintenance might be different for some software
products from SAP. For example, some core applications of SAP Business Suite
have a significantly increased duration of mainstream maintenance
Some SAP solutions, such as SAP Solution Manager, are based on AS ABAP +
Java.
Depending on their usage, SAP solutions use separate user interfaces

The official terms of the SAP GUI are SAP GUI for the Windows environment, SAP
GUI for the Java environment, and SAP GUI for Java. These terms are available
only in English. Colloquially, the terms SAP GUI for Windows, SAP GUI for Java or
Java GUI, and Web GUI are used synonymously with the official terms. The
colloquial terms are used frequently.
The string /sap/bc/nwbc depends on the type of system with which you want to
connect (T/F)
Pressing the F4 key in the command field does not display the input help.
Instead, the key lists the last 15 entries in the field on your front end. This list is
stored in the registry on the front end and is valid for all sessions on the front
end, regardless of the system that is used.
What is the appropriate way of displaying a list of users who are logged on?
1. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Tools Administration Monitor
System Monitoring User Overview.
2. By entering /nS000 in the command field.
Which transaction code takes you directly to the user overview?
A.
B.
C.
D.

SM01
SM02
SM03
SM04
SM12
/nS000

The employee can also update or delete the list of values, depending on the
authorizations assigned to him (T/F)
If a system is not used for printing, a spool work process is still required for
storing the lists generated in the context of the background process in TemSe
(temporary sequential object).
Generally, fewer Java server processes are configured per Java dispatcher than
the work processes configured for each ABAP dispatcher. A maximum of 16 Java
server processes can be configured for each instance
An overview of the AS ABAP instances is available in SM51. On the SAP Easy
Access screen, choose Tools Administration Monitor System Monitoring
Servers.
An overview of users who are logged on to the instance to which you are also
logged on, is available by using transaction SM04 (alternatively, choose Tools
Administration Monitor System Monitoring User Overview).
The entirety of the Java environment (all processes and the database scheme) is
also referred to as a Java cluster. The individual processes (dispatcher and
server) are referred to the Java cluster as nodes
AS ABAP + Java is called an add-in installation because it is possible to install AS
ABAP first and then supplement it with AS Java later

The SAP JCo provides the SAP RFC protocol for the Java environment. The JCo is
also available in a separate installation, for example, to connect non-SAP
products in Java with SAP ABAP systems. Another special feature of AS ABAP +
Java is the joint storage. In this case, the User Management Engine (AS Java)
uses the users from AS ABAP.
The database schema (all tables of AS ABAP) belongs to a user, who logs on to
the database using the work processes. Up to release 4.6C, this user was called
SAPR3. After that, the user name was changed to SAP<SID> so that several SAP
systems could be operated in one database. You can look up this user in the SAP
system under System Status. For AS Java, the user (the database schema) is
called SAP<SID>DB.
During initialization of the SAP system, the dispatcher executes the following
actions (among others):
Read system profile parameters.
Start work processes.
Log on to the message server
ABAP Open SQL is a database query language, based on the (ISO) SQL standard.
The language contains enhancements that are not included in the SQL standard
If there is more than one instance, then also buffer. Therefore, you may need to
synchronize buffers occasionally.
The instance for which the main memory contains the lock table is also known as
the enqueue server.
For the system to execute lock requests, the lock object must be defined in the
ABAP Dictionary. The lock object contains one or more tables whose entries are
to be locked. You can define a lock mode for a lock object.
The application developer decides whether and how to use asynchronous
updates while programming the transaction. Besides the asynchronous update,
there are some other update techniques (for example, synchronous or local).
Your user data is now exclusively locked at the SAP system level
The system returns an information message that the requested data is already in
change access by another user (in this case, yourself). Data locked can still be
viewed. Because transaction SU3 is always in change mode, you are required to
use transaction SU01 to display the user data that is currently being changed.
If an action terminates in an SAP system (whether deliberately or not), the locks
held by the action are deleted.
In an SAP system, the connection between a spool work process and the
operating system spool process is known as the access method. There are access
methods other than those we have discussed. These are the two most commonly
used access methods for connecting printers to SAP systems. In this context,
remote or local do not refer to the physical location of the output but to the place
where the spool work process is connected to the operation system spool
process.

Course ADM100 provides additional information on printing and setting up


printers in AS ABAP.
In AS Java, every additional request can also be processed by any of the server
processes. By default, however, HTTP requests are distributed heterogeneously.
That is, for the request, a server process is selected at random and all
subsequent requests are then distributed to the same server process. The
distribution of subsequent requests is done by using cookies. On this subject, see
also the SAP NetWeaver Library under SAP NetWeaver by Key Capability
Application Platform or by Key Capability Java Technology Architecture
Manual Java Cluster Architecture Load Balancing of Java Applications Load
Balancing for J2EE Web Applications.
In case of distributed transactions across several resource managers, database
transactions take place. However, SAP does not recommend distributed
transactions.
The Transport Organizer SE09 assigns a number to the transport request (in the
<SID>K9<nnnnn> format, for example, DEVK900050). A transport request has
to contain objects that are logically related. The request enables the transport
and administration of development objects.
In technical terms, a copy of the data from the development system database is
written to the central transport directory during the export of the transport
request. During its import, the transport request stored in the central transport
directory is copied to the database of the target system.
Note that in some scenarios, you need to manually perform additional steps to
add Java objects to transport requests. In addition, you may need to perform
steps for some object types after the deployment.
The usage type DI is by no means invalidated by this scenario; the NWDI is the
recommended environment for Java-based development. However, you should
consider using the NWDI in combination with CTS to unify the transports into
productive systems.
Transport Portal Content through NWDI states that SAP recommends that you use
the features of the enhanced change and transport system, which are tightly
integrated into the Package Export Editor of SAP NetWeaver Portal.
The managed systems register in the SLD by using transaction RZ70 (AS ABAP)
or SAP NetWeaver Administrator (AS Java). The system information is then sent
from the managed systems to the SLD periodically so that the SLD always gets
the latest information.
Purpose of SAP Notes is:
A. Provide information of any kind for customers and partners of SAP
B. Contain solutions for known problems with an SAP system
C. Always contain prerequisites, interactions, and references to post processing
activities, such as changing a table, which you must consider when
implementing the activities
1. A & B
2. A & C
3. B & C
4. A,B & C

5. None of the above


Error corrections using SAP Notes are available only for ABAP-based software
components and affect only individual programs and development objects.
Support Packages always contain a large number of error corrections for a
specific software component. Support Packages are a collection of corrections for
software errors in the SAP system.
Support Packages are available for ABAP and Java-based software components.
Support Packages are available for ABAP and Java-based software components.
Support Package Stacks contain various Support Packages.
Support Packages can be imported by using the:
A. Support Package Manager (SPAM) in AS ABAP
B. Java Support Package Manager (JSPM) in AS Java
C. Software Update Manager (SUM) in AS ABAP and AS Java
Support Package Stacks represent combinations of Support Packages that are
stipulated by SAP for the respective product versions. SAP recommends that
users regularly import these stacks for the relevant SAP products.
For SUM for AS ABAP-based systems, a stack.xml file (created by Maintenance
Optimizer) is mandatory to apply SAP Support Packages
All function modules (including those that are remote-enabled) are created,
together with their import and export parameters by using the Function Builder.
To call the Function Builder, choose Tools ABAP Workbench Development
Function Builder or use transaction code SE37.
You can also create RFC connections for which the user making the call is used in
the target system. That means various users can use the same connection in the
target system. This procedure is also called Trusted RFC. It is a prerequisite that
identical users are created in the source and target systems.
BAPIs are created and tested in the same way as other function modules, using
the Function Builder or transaction SE37. The BAPIs are then defined as BAPIs in
the BOR.
SAP Solution Manager 7.1 introduced a new monitoring architecture. If you
consider setting up a central monitoring landscape, use SAP Solution Manager
and the functions of the CCMS. SAP Solution Manager and the functions of CCMS
differ but are not contradictory. Therefore, they could theoretically be
implemented at the same time but this may not be practical.
SAP Solution Manager is the ideal tool for creating a central monitoring
landscape
SAP NetWeaver Mobile is available only as an add-on to the EHP for NetWeaver
7.3. For more information, see SAP Note 1645275.
