Looking for some System Administration tips

Former Member — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 20:35:30 GMT

Hello SAP gurus

We have a Demo system that has ECC installed. We have created many user accounts and have strict guidelines of who can do what.

The main limitation that we have is that we don't have an experienced BASIS person working and so once in a while we keep noticing

people making changes to the configuration etc.,

Is there a report that we can generate which will give details of what programs, tables were created by a particular account and also what kind of system configuration changes were done recently and by whom etc.,

Any suggestions or tips will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Ram

Hi,

most of the config tables in SAP are set to log data changes. You can check tables for this setting in SE11 -> Technical Changes -> > Log Data Changes. So SAP creates a change document for any change in the table with this flag. This logging has to be activated for client (check profile parameter rec/client). You can see table history in transaction SCU3. Check SAP documentation for more info about tables auditing.

If you want to see who created which ABAP objects then you can try to use SE84 - Repository Info System. There is a button All selections. Use it to get all possible selection criteria. Usually there is a field "Last changed by". You can also use Version Management for changes in source codes (SE80 -> Utilities -> Versions -> Version Management).

Cheers

Hi,

if you plan to run a real DEMO system intended to show customers/end users functionality you might think of just locking the client. You can either prohibit changes of development objects or/and customizing using TCode SCC4. Depending on what you plan in the system this might be an option.
