To use all the features of the SAP Patch Manager, you need the following permissions: S_TRANSPRT S_CTS_ADMIN Both are in the S_A.SYSTEM permission profile. If you log in to the Mandant 000 and your user base contains the appropriate permission profile, then you can use all the features of the SAP Patch Manager. When you log in to another client or without the appropriate user profile, you can only use the display functions. Map this permission profile to the system administrator only. Only the system administrator should have permission to perform the following actions: Support Packages Download Support Packages Play Support Packages Confirm Successfully Recorded Support Packages Reset Support Package Status Support Packages eliminate errors in the SAP system or make necessary adjustments due to legal changes, for example. The affected objects will be replaced in your system. Each Support Package is valid for one release level (but for all databases and operating systems) and requires a precisely defined number of predecessors. The upgrade from the following release or revision level contains all support packages from the previous booths that were available until the upgrade was delivered. SPAM ensures that support packages are only played in the order specified. To avoid problems, play all support packages as they are deployed. This allows you to keep your system up to date.
The technology architect is well acquainted with the company's core business, has business process and project management expertise. As part of its activities, the technology architect does not exercise project management or project management. He develops and develops strategies and solutions in coordination with higher authorities, IT departments and also business units. It defines requirements for the implementation and operation, which it aligns with the operator or with the necessary expression of the Subject Matter Expert. He also takes care of new technologies in his field of activity and is thus a driver of innovation and a catalyst from a technical point of view. He also acts as a contact for enterprise architects in the company. However, this role will be much more coordinated in the future. The range of tasks will therefore increase in width. An additional requirement in the future will be the understanding of company policy.

Mentioning the SUM tool leads us to another part of SAP Basis: system updates and upgrades. Since SAP software receives updates from SAP at regular intervals - in the case of R/3 in the form of SPS (Support Package Stacks) and in the case of S/4HANA in the form of FPS (Feature Pack Stacks) - a large part of an SAP Basis administrator's job is to import these packages into the SAP system.
To facilitate communication within IT departments, it is necessary to identify clear communication channels and contact persons and also to use uniform tools for communication. It would also be possible to designate contact points (contact points) for upstream and downstream IT departments and external service providers and suppliers.
Tools such as "Shortcut for SAP Systems" complement missing functions in the SAP basis area.
On this page you can find out what is behind the term and what SAP Basis is responsible for in detail.
Another major topic is the migration of SAP systems, both locally from one data center to another and from one operating system to another or from one database type to another.
