The CodeProfiler prevents poor-quality code or programs with security vulnerabilities from entering a productive SAP system landscape in the first place. It is therefore important to use the CodeProfiler throughout the entire lifecycle of a software. Already during programming, the CodeProfiler helps the developer to identify and correct errors and vulnerabilities in the SAP landscape. The CodeProfiler automatically ensures that only "clean" code is transported to the next level (development system -> test system -> quality assurance system -> production system). The CodeProfiler can also be used for regular review cycles.
What are the requirements and benefits of a modern identity management system (IDM) in the GRContext and what should be taken into account in application processes? Modern companies need to be able to effectively control their employees' access and system permissions to ensure optimal corporate control and monitoring. This need can also be inferred from legal requirements. IDM is the user and permission management within an organisation. These systems are an essential part of the internal control system. This includes the continuous monitoring and allocation of access possibilities as well as the systematic securing of functional separation (SoD - Segregation of Duties) in the IT systems. This is primarily intended to better manage relevant business and financial risks and to prevent criminal acts. The management of user and permission structures must ensure that, when the roles and responsibilities change, the privileges of the employees concerned in the systems are adjusted. Failure to do so will result in a multi-department employee having extensive privileges that can be critical in combination. Trust is good, control is better In order to avoid employees being entitled beyond your area of competence, user data and permissions must be continuously adjusted to the current requirements. It therefore makes sense to regularly carry out a recertification process in which the role owner and the manager sign off in compliance with the four-eye principle that the employee is entitled to the current privileges or may have to be deprived of rights from previous activities. Provisioning as a central function of the IDM Provisioning components form a central function of IDM systems, which provide users with individual access rights for the required IT resources according to their task.
Defined service level agreements (SLAs)
Tasks such as the update of components, the insertion of security updates or monitoring should be further automated. It is recommended to use only one automation tool (SAP Solution Manager or SAP LVM). Custom solutions and scripts should not be used or replaced with standard tools if possible, because otherwise different script languages and script versions will have to be managed, resulting in a lot of maintenance. Standardised SAP scripts are welcome here. A useful definition of thresholds, for example on the basis of historical system behaviour, must also be defined for monitoring.
In every company with an SAP system, there is someone who is responsible for the SAP Basis. This person ensures the trouble-free operation of the SAP system. He or she accompanies maintenance work and intervenes in special situations, such as poor performance. Even for companies that hand over the operation of Basis to an external service provider, there are often still tasks from the user and authorization management environment at this point.
"Shortcut for SAP Systems" simplifies tasks in the area of the SAP basis and complements missing functions of the standard.
