Locking of User DDIC in Production client

[Adamrog00]

Hi Guys

It was requested by our security team that DDIC should be locked in our production client, will I as a Basis Administrator have issues with certain jobs. I know when importing transports via STMS the background jobs get scheduled via DDIC in client 000 and only when I have an issue with transports whereby transports are locked I have to run RDDNEWPP using DDIC in client 000 and the production client to reschedule jobs. Will I have any other issues if DDIC is locked in production client?

Regards

Roger

Roger, you can lock DDIC in all other clients except 000. If you lock in 000, your transports will fail.

Still you can lock DDIC in 000 client also without impacting transports. How?

Lock DDIC in 000 by "Incorrect logon"...but not by "Administrator" . If DDIC is locked by "Incorect logon" i.e by using wrong password many times, then transport will not be impacted

SAP is very intelligent we must say.!
