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 Prashant,

The main concern of bring System user in SAP is to scedule the acitivty with out any user intervention.

For Example there are Many SAP standard jobs which are schedule on daily/weekly/monthly basis which does'nt require for any user intervention.

As such you can also run such customize jobs which will not require any user intervention.

Also some time there is requirement of the organization to creat batch jobs for e.g for uploading the payroll data , at that time when abaper created the program , at that time they hardcode the user in the program to whom and by which batch job should be run . In this situation you can create backgroung user and provide to them.

For this user there is password policy applied. As well as it is useful in concern of licensing , becuase there is different policy applied for System user in SAP.

Thanks

Anil
