MONITORING AND ADAPTATION OF STANDARDISATION
SAP Emergency User Concept - How it works and how it works
INTRODUCTION A growing number of SAP-based departments are facing major changes and challenges within the SAP product portfolio as well as in their own task environment. These result from influences of digitalisation, digital transformation, new technologies such as cloud computing or big data, but also developments such as customer experience or the Internet of Things. In order to overcome the challenges and to transform the existing SAP basis, recommendations for action are grouped in seven thematic areas. These topics cover the areas of skills and roles (cloud and supplier management, strengthening of the technology architect, focus on project work), marketing and self-understanding (creation of a service catalogue, regular exchange with the CIO, renaming of the SAP basis), new technologies and innovation (test and innovation lab, proactive & regular training), organisation in change (development of the two subject areas close to structure and application-orientated , virtual teams of experts), standardisation and automation (automation of routine tasks, outtasking of rare tasks), "cloudability", outsourcing & outtasking (assessment of usefulness for the cloud, use of appropriate service forms) and IT roadmap (influence of own IT roadmap). By reflecting on the thematic areas, methods and possibilities for implementing the recommendations are presented.
In order to ensure the necessary expertise both in the direction of application and application-related IT departments as well as in the direction of infrastructure units, the SAP basis should be divided into an infrastructure-related SAP basis and an application-orientated SAP basis. The infrastructure-based SAP basis acts as a contact level and point of contact for IT departments such as virtualisation, storage management and databases. The application-orientated SAP basis serves as the contact and coordination level for application-related topics. BUILDING OVERARCHING EXPERT TEAMS WITH SAP basis INVOLVEMENT To reduce organisational friction points as well as to optimally handle selected topics, it is recommended to set up expert teams with the participation of the SAP basis. These teams of experts can be virtually organised and therefore of temporary duration and consist of participants from all relevant IT disciplines or business areas. If the topic of the virtual group of experts is the focus of the SAP basis, the SAP basis will take over the management and control of the expert team.
PERFORMANCE TUNING
Significant changes have also been brought about by SAP's cloud strategy. For example, the latest products such as SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA are available entirely as cloud solutions.

Verify the settings using the RSPARAM report. CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_R_DATA_FILE: Unable to extract an R3trans data file. A possible cause of error is that the appropriate OCS file was not found or the data file could not be opened for writing. An error occurred while transferring a 20K block from the EPS inbox to the /usr/sap/trans/data (UNIX) directory. CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_D_DATA_FILE: Unable to extract an ADO data file. The reasons are the same as for CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_R_DATA_FILE. CANNOT_CREATE_COFILE: The cofile could not be created from the corresponding data file. One of the possible causes of error is that adm does not have write permissions for the /usr/sap/trans/cofiles (UNIX) directory.
Some missing SAP basic functions in the standard are supplied by the PC application "Shortcut for SAP Systems".
SAP SE offers various training courses and certifications for SAP Basis administrators and SAP Basis consultants.
