System user

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

What is the use of " SYSTEM" user and I know it is user for background processing.

By SYSTEM user we can not login to the system.

My query is where can we use the SYSTEM user exactly in SAP BASIS.

With Regards,

Hi Prasanth

Use the System user type for dialog-free communication within a system or for background processing within a system, or also for RFC users for various applications, such as ALE, Workflow, Transport Management System, Central User Administration. Users of this type are excepted from the usual settings for the validity period of a password. Only user administrators can change the password.

You can also check Note 622464 - Change: Password change req. entry for "SYSTEM" user type

Hi,

You can take the example of WF-BATCH User, whis is of System Type and used in the following Background Jobs.

SWF_CNT_FACTORY_SHMEM_UPDATE

SWWCOND

SWWDHEX....

Check the Step definition of such Back ground jobs, you will see the specified User, which is of System Type.
