Hi,

One exemple of the usage of user sapsys is the logon process :

The abap program where you enter your user/password to logon with sapgui runs with user sapsys.

This user is defined in the SAP executables not in SU01...

Olivier

HI,

Sapsys is used for internal purpose in SAP server and is not harmful. But if it increases it can be logged off as well. But in many cases sapsys is used for OS jobs, CCMS monitoring hence it may impact if not handled carefully

SAPSYS is a group. It's used for DEV - QA - PRD to share files (especially /usr/sap/trans), for <SID>adm and ora<SID> to talk to each other and share files also.

SAPSYS is a user group name in sap os .SAPSYS is an internal communication user, which access the tables from the dictionary and give access to the users.

Check in SM21 and ST02,

Thanks
