Dear Gurus

Our R3D and R3Q Server Broke down. System has gone for repairing!.

This is usually not recommended. Also , check weather client will allow this or not .

Hi,

If the client is letting you work, then do it.

Disadvantages are nothing except the client believes that you'll just be generating the program and not fiddle with the config, master data and other stuff.

Make sure that if there are any changes in code, copy the changes to DEV & QAS once they are up, so that all the 3 systems remain in sync.

All the best.

Hi,

Whatever you do in a system can be tracked by BASIS guys along with the user id's of the ppl responsible for it.

System maintains a log of this, and this log is traced at such situations.

Dont worry about all this, do your work in the system and once done, ask them/your BASIS guys to lock their systems again.

The END USERS will not have authrorizations to fiddle up anything with the production system. Get the authorization only for your user id for the short period you want to develop the report in production system if the client agrees. If the authorization is set only for your user id, the risk of fiddling only lies upto you. The other authorizations remain the same

If you have decided to go forward with it, be prepared to answer questions during your SAP Audit.

If your Company is Falling under [SAS AND SOX COMPLIANCE|http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/compliance-governance/sas-70-sarbanes-oxley-sox-what-you-need-to-know/]

Then you are violating the policy of that by writing the Code directly in production
