Motivation<br />

During the course of an average project, I am usually<br />

called upon by a project manager to “help screen<br />

resources” for different parts of the project. And one<br />

thing comes to mind – if done properly, it’s very time<br />

consuming, <strong>and</strong> it’s really hard work!<br />

My interviews usually sound something like this –<br />

Jim: “Please rate yourself, on a scale of 1-10 on your<br />

<strong>SAP</strong> <strong>Basis</strong> knowledge <strong>and</strong> experience…”<br />

<strong>Interview</strong>ee: “Um, probably something like 10…”<br />

Jim: “OK, so, let me just say something... I don’t<br />

believe there is such a thing as a ten.”<br />

<strong>Interview</strong>ee: “What would you rate yourself?”<br />

Jim: “I rate myself an 8.”<br />

<strong>Interview</strong>ee: “Why so low?”<br />

Jim: “There’s no such thing as a ten. All of the nines are<br />

working at <strong>SAP</strong>, <strong>SAP</strong> Labs, or <strong>SAP</strong> Consulting, <strong>and</strong> so<br />

basically that puts me at about an eight. But we’re here<br />

to talk about your skills. And so you think you’re a 10,<br />

huh? OK, so tell me what you know about debugging<br />

the n-step approval workflow…”<br />

And then I try to ask the questions that truly flesh out a<br />

person’s underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the software. It’s part<br />

science, part art to be sure – but the #1 thing I’m<br />

looking for in an interview is that the resource<br />

represents their skills truthfully. The good resources<br />

know what they know, know what they don’t know, <strong>and</strong><br />

they’re open about it.<br />

And so I hope that this book will serve as a muchneeded<br />

guide for managers trying to get the right<br />

resource for their project. If you construct an interview<br />

based on these questions, I’m confident you can get a<br />

good idea about the depth <strong>and</strong> breadth of a<br />

consultant’s experiences <strong>and</strong> accumulated knowledge.<br />

Introduction<br />

This book is divided into three parts – configuration<br />

related questions, technical <strong>and</strong> troubleshooting<br />

questions, <strong>and</strong> finally, a very long list of transaction<br />

codes <strong>and</strong> tables that apply to the area of <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>Basis</strong>.<br />

Each interview question has a question <strong>and</strong> an answer<br />

– that is pretty straightforward – but when you see the<br />

guru icon – this is information that represents the<br />

highest degree of knowledge in a particular area. So if<br />

you’re looking for a “<strong>Basis</strong> guru” be sure to listen for an<br />

answers similar to those given under the guru icon.<br />

Don’t be bamboozled!<br />

<strong>SAP</strong> BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS<br />

_____________________________________________<br />

Question 1: Transport Change Request<br />

If your <strong>SAP</strong> l<strong>and</strong>scape is composed of a DEV<br />

server <strong>and</strong> PRD server <strong>and</strong> you need to transport a<br />

change request from DEV client 111 to DEV 131<br />

(i.e. transport in the same server). How can this be<br />

accomplished?<br />

A: Transaction SCC1<br />

- 11 -


<strong>SAP</strong> BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS<br />

Question 2: Internet outages<br />

We have recently experienced some internet<br />

outages caused by our ISP. Although we have<br />

resolved our ISP problems, the users refuse to<br />

believe that losing the internet connection was to<br />

blame for the <strong>SAP</strong> problems. How can we ensure<br />

that this was an internet problem <strong>and</strong> not an <strong>SAP</strong><br />

problem?<br />

A: Open a maintenance window, connect to<br />

the machine <strong>and</strong> kill the ISP connection <strong>and</strong><br />

see if this kills your connection. Repeat at<br />

will until they believe that the ISP was the<br />

problem.<br />

Question 3: OK Codes<br />

What is an OK code? What are the<br />

differences an OK code to a T-code?<br />

A: An OK Code is used by a program to<br />

execute a function for example after a<br />

pushbutton has been clicked. A transaction<br />

code is a “shortcut” that helps a user run a<br />

program.<br />

T-Codes are stored in table TSTC<br />

- 13 -


<strong>SAP</strong> BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS<br />

Question 4: Transaction Codes<br />

Where are t-code name <strong>and</strong> program values<br />

stored? How can I find a list of all the t-codes in<br />

the <strong>SAP</strong> system?<br />

A: You can use transaction st11 to view Table<br />

TSTC. You can define a new t-code using<br />

transaction se93.<br />

- 14 -

Question 5: STMS Importing<br />

How can one disable the "Import All" button on<br />

STMS for the queues?<br />

A: Login to your Transport Domain<br />

Controller. Run STMS->Overview->System.<br />

Choose the System you want to disable<br />

import all. Go to Transport Tool tab.<br />

Add/Create Parameter "NO_IMPORT_ALL"<br />

set its value to 1.<br />

<strong>SAP</strong> BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS<br />

_____________________________________________<br />

Question 8: Web help installation<br />

Why can web help be considered easier to install<br />

than CHM, the st<strong>and</strong>ard delivered <strong>SAP</strong> help?<br />

A: Web help is easier than trying to get every<br />

remote user connected to a network share. If you<br />

don't want to use <strong>SAP</strong>'s help site, you can setup<br />

your own website to do it. The best route depends<br />

on your business’ network structure.<br />

Question 9: Web Resources<br />

If you can’t find the answer to a question, what are<br />

some website you can visit to find the answer?<br />

_____________________________________________<br />

Question 10: Instance installation<br />

We want to install another new instance on same<br />

development box. Is this possible? What are some<br />

of the important considerations?<br />

A: Yes, it is possible to have more than one<br />

instance on a single box. The key is to use a<br />

different SID <strong>and</strong> a different system number.<br />

It is also important to note that for a 64 bit<br />

<strong>SAP</strong> kernel, <strong>SAP</strong> recommends a 20 GB swap<br />

space for 1st instance <strong>and</strong> 10 GB per each<br />

additional instance.<br />

- 20 -


<strong>SAP</strong> BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS<br />

_____________________________________________<br />

Question 11: Client copy<br />

What is the difference between a client<br />

copy <strong>and</strong> client refresh?<br />

A: Some times these are the same, For<br />

example, if you are performing a copy to an<br />

existing client for the express purpose of<br />

updating the data, then it is called Client<br />

Refresh.<br />

If you are copying to a newly created client<br />

then it is more appropriate to say “client<br />

copy.”<br />

Another way of thinking about this is that a<br />

client copy from production to a QA server<br />

or from production to DEV server is really a<br />

client refresh.<br />

- 21 -


<strong>SAP</strong> BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS<br />

_____________________________________________<br />

Question 12: Table T000<br />

access keys<br />

- 31 -


<strong>SAP</strong> BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS<br />

_____________________________________________<br />

Question 22: Disable Multiple Logins<br />

How do you Disable Multiple Logins in the Same<br />

Client?<br />

A: To disable multiple user logins within the same<br />

client implement this parameter in the instance<br />

profile:<br />

login/disable_multi_gui_login = 1<br />

If you do not use this parameter in your system,<br />

users have the ability to ignore the warning<br />

window at the time they try to login to the same<br />

client.<br />

Activating this parameter in your system will make<br />

you look good if you get audited!<br />

How about exceptional logins?<br />

In case you're wondering how to allow multiple<br />

logins for certain key users you can implement<br />

parameter login/multi_login_users. You can list the<br />

user IDs that should be ignored if the parameter<br />

above is active in your system.<br />

- 32 -


<strong>SAP</strong> BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS<br />

_____________________________________________<br />

Question 23: Locked Transactions<br />

How can you View Locked Transactions?<br />

A: As you know, you can lock/unlock transaction<br />

codes via SM01. But, how do you go about<br />

viewing the transactions that are locked in the<br />

system? You need to look in field CINFO, table<br />

TSTC.<br />

Within <strong>SAP</strong>, you can use either SE11 or SE16 to<br />

browse the table contents. Make sure you enter<br />

"A0" as the "HEX01 data element for SYST"<br />

starting value <strong>and</strong> "A9" as the ending value.<br />

This will list all the transactions locked in the<br />

system.<br />

Note: The CINFO field description is "HEX01 data<br />

element for SYST".<br />

- 33 -


<strong>SAP</strong> BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS<br />

_____________________________________________<br />

Question 24: Locking Accounts<br />

When you are Locking/Unlocking accounts what<br />

happens behind the scenes?<br />

A: User accounts can be locked/unlocked via SU01<br />

(User Maintenance.)<br />

But, what goes on behind the scenes? What does<br />

the system do to actually set this?<br />

The table USR02 gets updated. The field UFLAG<br />

determines if the user account is locked or<br />

unlocked. The value "64" indicates that the user<br />

account is locked. The value "0" that the user<br />

account is unlocked.<br />

Knowing this, you can then issue an update<br />

statement at the database level that locks all users<br />

in mass.<br />

Don't lock yourself out, though! Use exceptions for<br />

super user accounts in your update statement.<br />

Notice that 4.6b <strong>and</strong> above have made<br />

improvements to this kind of task, making the<br />

locking/unlocking a bit easier. However, changing<br />

at the database level is much faster <strong>and</strong> it is just<br />

one simple query.<br />

- 34 -


<strong>SAP</strong> BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS<br />

_____________________________________________<br />

Question 25: TP <strong>and</strong> R3TRANS<br />

What is the difference between TP <strong>and</strong> R3TRANS<br />

A: TP controls the process <strong>and</strong> calls several<br />

tools, like r3trans but also e.g. DDIC-Activation.<br />

- 35 -


<strong>SAP</strong> BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS<br />

_____________________________________________<br />

Question 26: <strong>SAP</strong>ALL User<br />

Is there a difference between user DDIC <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>SAP</strong>_ALL/<strong>SAP</strong>_NEW ?<br />

A: Yes, DDIC is hard coded to do some things<br />

other IDs cannot. But you should be able to<br />

activate tables in SE11 using a <strong>SAP</strong>_ALL user.<br />

06071992 is the default<br />

username <strong>and</strong> password for basis<br />

login accounts (<strong>SAP</strong>*)<br />

- 36 -


<strong>SAP</strong> BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS<br />

_____________________________________________<br />

Question 27: UNIX OS<br />

What is the purpose of the UNIX file /etc/passwd ?<br />

A: /etc/passwd contains valid user passwords,<br />

accounts, default login directories, <strong>and</strong> user<br />

security permission levels<br />

The file format is<br />

user:password:UID:GID:login_directory:shell<br />

- 37 -

Question 31: <strong>SAP</strong>GUI Install<br />

Is there a way to perform <strong>SAP</strong>GUI 640 roll out<br />

using a centralized server?<br />

A: Look for <strong>SAP</strong>ADMIN <strong>and</strong> <strong>SAP</strong>SETUP on the<br />

installation CD. Then, use a utility such as<br />

Microsoft’s SMS to distribute this program or use a<br />

login script to call the <strong>SAP</strong>SETUP program.<br />

- 42 -


<strong>SAP</strong> BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS<br />

_____________________________________________<br />

Question 33: DEV System with Open Client<br />

In our DEV system we have opened the client with<br />

all options “changed without automatic rec,”<br />

“changes to repository <strong>and</strong> cross customization<br />

allowed,” <strong>and</strong> “protection level-0 no restriction” in<br />

SCC4. The developers complain that they get an<br />

error message saying the system is non-modifiable.<br />

What should we do to fix this?<br />

A: In a DEV system, set the global system change<br />

option (SEO6) to modifiable for all namespaces/objects.<br />

The developers must have the ability to change any,<br />

Question 34: Email from <strong>SAP</strong> to UNIX<br />

I’m trying to send email from <strong>SAP</strong> to Microsoft<br />

Outlook. When I attempted to configure<br />

<strong>SAP</strong>Connect it failed. On unix level I try to run<br />

comm<strong>and</strong> “mlunxsnd” <strong>and</strong> “mlosmadm” but found<br />

that it doesn’t exist in unix. How should I solve this<br />

problem?<br />

A: In versions with basis release 6.20 or higher,<br />

you don't need to use sapconnect. Directly put your<br />

mail server in the SMTP node in SCOT.<br />

Question 35: Printing Cover Pages<br />

I want to let <strong>SAP</strong> skip printing cover pages during<br />

printing for any kind of report. How can this be<br />

done?<br />

A: Find the source for the cover page. It will either<br />

be from <strong>SAP</strong> itself or the OS spooler. Take the<br />

appropriate action.<br />

consecutive days <strong>and</strong> would like to use DB13. How<br />

can I schedule a report to run from DB13 <strong>and</strong> not<br />

SM37?<br />

A: There is no way to schedule a report to run<br />

from DB13 other than pre-configured DBA jobs.<br />

Instead, use SM36 <strong>and</strong> make the jobs event driven.<br />

Question 38: Transport requests<br />

When I release all of the requests to DEV it is not being<br />

displayed in an import queue on the QA system (t-code<br />

STMS). When I check the log of transport request<br />

overall status is successful, but a message appears<br />

saying “continue: other transport group.” Why is this<br />

message appearing?<br />

A: The transport group for QA is misconfigured. Go to<br />

STMS, then Overview. Double-click QA <strong>and</strong> choose<br />

communication. Next enter the correct transport group<br />

<strong>and</strong> save.<br />

Question 39: Memory <strong>and</strong> Sizing<br />

We have a J2EE + ABAP 6.40 instance running a<br />

portal 6.0. It seems 1GB of memory is not enough<br />

<strong>and</strong> J2EE has problems if we assign more. What<br />

can be used to balance the load in the servers?<br />

A: You can create a second server process using<br />

config-tool. Also, load balancing is possible through<br />

SCS.<br />

Question 41: <strong>SAP</strong>Router <strong>and</strong> DMZ<br />

We setup a <strong>SAP</strong>Router in DMZ so that all <strong>SAP</strong><br />

requests can be routed in <strong>and</strong> out from that<br />

machine <strong>and</strong> the <strong>SAP</strong> application servers are not<br />

necessary to be exposed to the internet user.<br />

However, the <strong>SAP</strong>Router does not h<strong>and</strong>le the BW<br />

Web reporting application requests. We do not<br />

have E.P. Are there any tools which can help us to<br />

route WEB reporting requests the way <strong>SAP</strong>Router<br />

does?<br />

A: You need a <strong>SAP</strong> Web dispatcher. It acts like a<br />

<strong>SAP</strong> Router but routes <strong>SAP</strong> ICM traffic. BW Web<br />

reporting is a BSP that sits on the ICM. You can<br />

look for sapwebdisp.exe in the kernel directory or<br />

do a self-generated profile using comm<strong>and</strong> option<br />

“bootstrap.”<br />

I am installing a <strong>SAP</strong> J2EE engine at CRM. When it<br />

reaches phase 22 it halts for more than 10 minutes <strong>and</strong><br />

gives up starting the system. What should I do?<br />

A: A restart is often the solution. If it is an add-in <strong>and</strong><br />

you have restarted your ABAP then you may be missing<br />

the profile parameters. If this is okay <strong>and</strong> a restart does<br />

not help look in the work directory <strong>and</strong> check<br />

dev_icontrol. If the J2EE engine software is the problem,<br />

applying a patch will solve the problem.<br />

details email address <strong>and</strong> communications method<br />

held in SU01 <strong>and</strong> send the mail to this external<br />

email address. Can this be configured?<br />

Question 47: Updating Tables<br />

Are direct updates on <strong>SAP</strong> tables allowed?<br />

A: You can call <strong>SAP</strong> functions directly to update<br />

data (RFC calls) but it is not recommended to try<br />

<strong>and</strong> manipulate data directly at database level (sql<br />

scripts, jdbc)<br />

In general it is a very bad idea to update tables<br />

directly in <strong>SAP</strong>.<br />

Question 50: Lock table overflow<br />

One of my BTC jobs fails when I try to run it, giving<br />

me an error message stating “lock table overflow.”<br />

It recommends to modify the enqueue / table size<br />

parameter to solve this issue. I do not have this<br />

value in my default or instance profile. How do I<br />

solve the problem?<br />

A: Run ABAP RSPARAM program. It will give you the<br />

real value of the <strong>SAP</strong> parameter <strong>and</strong> where they have<br />

been set up. The lock table can hold 10,000 entries,<br />

which is more than enough for the average system. It<br />

is possible that the program is not written properly <strong>and</strong><br />

the developers should modify it.<br />

Question 52: XI 3.0 Configuration<br />

I am configuring my XI 3.0 Production server<br />

successfully run offline backups on single nodes<br />

(both A <strong>and</strong> B), split nodes (Oracle node B <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>SAP</strong> node A), but it fails when I run Oracle on Node<br />

A <strong>and</strong> <strong>SAP</strong> on Node B. I have checked the<br />

initsid.sap, initsid.ora spfilesid.ora files, the files<br />

within the “%Windir%\<strong>SAP</strong>Cluster <strong>and</strong> the FSCMD<br />

location path <strong>and</strong> they are identical to my<br />

development servers. Rebooting the servers has<br />

been unsuccessful as well. How do I resolve this<br />

issue?<br />

A: Log in on both nodes as SIDADM <strong>and</strong> run this<br />

comm<strong>and</strong>: brbackup –V. Make sure that<br />

“%Windir%<strong>SAP</strong>Cluster” is part of your path.<br />

Question 53: Restarting server<br />

Will restarting the PRD server every week affect<br />

server performance?<br />

A: When you restart the server, the <strong>SAP</strong> ABAP<br />

program buffer <strong>and</strong> other buffers are emptied. As far<br />

as performance goes, the reports runtime will be a bit<br />

longer during the first run. You can restart the system<br />

every week without harm. The only reason against it<br />

may be the SLA/users dem<strong>and</strong>.<br />

Question 54: System copy PRD to TST<br />

I need to do a system copy from PRD to TST. I<br />

cannot follow <strong>SAP</strong> documentation, but must do it<br />

manually. When I run “@/tmp/TSTcntrl.sql,” will it<br />

change all the PRD to TST in the restored file<br />

names? Would the restored files be recognized as<br />

a TST system?<br />

A: You must first open the DB as PRD on your<br />

new system. Second, apply redo logs. Next, run<br />

your script to change SID. This will change SID but<br />

will not change tablespace names if using WAS<br />

6.10 or above.<br />

Question 55: MIRO updates to RBKP<br />

We are running Win 2003, Oracle 9I, <strong>SAP</strong> 4.7. We<br />

are having performance issues around Tx MIRO<br />

which updates table RBKP. Table RBKP has five<br />

indexes in <strong>SAP</strong>, but only three of which exist in<br />

Oracle. Why is this?<br />

A: In <strong>SAP</strong> there are many predefined indexes.<br />

You can see these indexes via DB02->checks-><br />

database ->ABAP dictionary ->display. Under<br />

optional indexes you see all indexes of which the<br />

definition is created in the dictionary, but not<br />

created at database level.<br />

Question 56: Customizing <strong>and</strong> Master Data<br />

Some transactions in <strong>SAP</strong> are seen as customizing,<br />

for instance OVRF (updating routes). In some<br />

systems this is set as master data <strong>and</strong> can be set<br />

open. Where do you do this?<br />

A: That depends on each transaction. Sometimes<br />

it is determined by other configuration <strong>and</strong><br />

sometimes it is set according to system function,<br />

production or test/develop/demo/etc.<br />

Question 57: Variants for ABAP<br />

I have some housekeeping ABAPs that I have to<br />

create variants for. There are cases when I have<br />

to specify a time interval for the ABAP in the variant.<br />

If I explicitly enter a start <strong>and</strong> end date they will<br />

remain at that current date continuously. Is there<br />

any way to dynamically enter dates in the variant?<br />

A: In transaction SE38 enter the variant name <strong>and</strong><br />

choose the attributes radio button. Here you can set<br />

the field to “selection variable.” Then, under selection<br />

variables button, you can define that it is SY -DATE+7.<br />

Question 58: SM37 <strong>and</strong> Spool<br />

When I check transaction SM37 <strong>and</strong> I want to see<br />

the spool I get a message that says “no list<br />

available.” Why is this?<br />

A: There are several possible reasons. The spool is<br />

sent to a printer <strong>and</strong> deleted. The spool is too old <strong>and</strong><br />

the housekeeper deleted it. Also, some test reports<br />

simulate a calculation then rollback. It works fine<br />

online. When a background job does a rollback then it<br />

rolls back the spool as well.<br />

I have an ABAP+J2EE instance on XI 3.1. Is it<br />

support packs for J2EE?<br />

A: Any J2EE patches are applied while system is<br />

up <strong>and</strong> running but no activities. The only patch<br />

applied while system is down are binaries (ABAP<br />

kernel).<br />

Question 60: Missing Secondary Index<br />

I have a Win NT/SQL7/R3 kernel -46D. I am missing<br />

one secondary index (Z0CPS0-1) while I run DB02. I<br />

tried recreating the index, but this gives me the error<br />

message “Index could not be setup in the DB.” Another<br />

index with the same name exists in the database, but it<br />

is unknown to the ABAP/ 4 Dictionary. How do I<br />

remove the error from the DB02 <strong>and</strong> resolve the<br />

problem?<br />

A: It is possible that an individual created an index in<br />

the DB directly, which is not recommended. You must<br />

delete the index DB level first, <strong>and</strong> then create it in <strong>SAP</strong>.<br />

ABAP programs are always client independent. Only<br />

the masterdata (variant) is client dependent.<br />

A: An “L” access method refers to local printer. It is<br />

local to the <strong>SAP</strong> server, not the user. An “F” access<br />

method refers to front end printer. This uses the user’s<br />

Windows printer.<br />

Question 64: Remote server starting<br />

We are currently running 4.7 enterprise on Oracle<br />

9.2.0.6, on Solaris 9. I am in the process of upgrading<br />

production which has a central instance server <strong>and</strong> 3<br />

Application servers where the Sapmnt directory is<br />

shared out from the central instance server. I<br />

upgraded the kernel on the central instance with no<br />

problems, but when I try to start <strong>SAP</strong> on the APP<br />

servers I receive an error message stating the database<br />

must be started from a remote server. I have changed<br />

all environment variables but I still receive the error<br />

message. What could be the issue?<br />

A: Ensure that the Oracle client is properly installed on<br />

each of the application servers. Also, make certain that<br />

you are using the latest versions of all of the kernel,<br />

associated files (R3trans, tp, startdb, stopdb, etc.) <strong>and</strong><br />

the DB library.<br />

Question 65: Deleting Background Jobs<br />

Is it safe to delete old background jobs using the<br />

program RSBTCDEL while users are working in the<br />

manually. I keep receiving error messages. How<br />

should I solve this problem?<br />

A: First go into SE38 in both client 000 <strong>and</strong> your<br />

working client. Run program RDDNEWPP. This will<br />

schedule program RDDIMPDP with proper<br />

parameters. Then, check if any "TP" programs are<br />

would like to reduce this over time. What strategy<br />

would you have for reducing this tablespace?<br />
