Ask him/her to describe how SAP handles Memory Management?

ST02 / ST03 In general via table buffers, you could go into the whole Work Process, roll in, roll out, heap (private) memory, etc. however just as a Unix or DBA admin would know, is you look this up when needed for the exact specifics.

Ask him/her to describe where they would look at the buffer statistics, and what steps they would use to adjust them?

ST02, RZ10

Ask him/her to describe how to setup a printer in SAP or where they would look to research why a user/users can not print?

SPAD, SP01, SM50, SU01

Keep the interview to 3 general areas:

DB (what is the directory structure/ where are the files kept oracle alerts, init.ora, redo logs, archive logs, etc.; possibly some basics stuff like what to do “high level” when the archive directory fills up, etc. Keep this minimal as from a SAP basis admin point of view Oracle is just a big giant bit bucket and SAP can handle to the daily monitoring and maintenance itself.

OS (what is the directory structure (what is NFS mounted and why / where are the message files contained for the OS error log; basic commands for the OS eg. Unix, mv, cp, ls, grep, ps-ef, df-k, etc. That is pretty much all the SAP basis admin will need to know. Client/Server architecture.

SAP (what is the directory structure / where are files located ie. profiles - start, instance, default (what are they and what is the order of precendence) start is for statup only, instance is the first to be read then the default and if a given parameter cannot be found in the instance or then the default then the internal standard is taken from RZ10 setting.

You can ask them to ran Transaction codes to you. Menus constanly change so go with T-codes. He should have a good knowledge of the following areas; transports, user / print / spool / batch management, monitoring, client tools and copies, support packages, kernel patches, workload analysis, Roles and Security, etc.

The standard list of t-codes is pretty much

SM50, SM51, SM66, SM12, SM13, SM21, DB01, DB02, DB13, ST01, ST02, ST03, ST04, ST05, ST06, SU01, SUIM, PFCG, SCC4, SE01, SE09, SE10, SPAM, SM35, SM36, SM37, SPAD, SP01 SCC3, SCCL, SCC9 this are pretty much you heavy hitters for monitoring and support.

I would ask in general how he would troubleshoot the following:

- User cannot connect to SAP

check SAP logon settings, ping the host, check message server, check dispatcher, etc.

- User cannot print

check SAP user setup, check SPAD, check spools, check unix queue or print queue at the os level, etc

- System seems slow

check SM66, SM51, SM50, SM21, ST06, ST03, SMLG, AL08 etc.

Some important things to remember is to ask not get specific to your installation or specific system setup as all SAP instances are different, keep your question to general topics and general answers.

The most important thing to notice when choosing a candidate is not how they parrot back answers to you, but if they can
a) think for themselves and
b) they actually like to and will keep on learning as no one knows it all and
c) they have a good background and willingness to perform analyis and will keep on digginging until the answer is found or until their resources are exhausted and then they will pull in what is required to figure it out.

SAP Web AS Administration I - ADM100 ANSWERS

SAP Web AS Administration I – ADM100

ANSWERS

UNIT-1 Fundamentals

1. The instance that, together with the database, creates a runnable SAP
system, is called the central instance.
Answer: central instance

2. What types of work processes are there in the SAP system?
Answer: A, B, C, E
The ICM (Internet Communication Manager) is not a work process,
but rather a service of the SAP Web Application Server. An instance
consists of a dispatcher and multiple work processes. The instance
itself is therefore not a work process. In addition to the correct work
process types listed above, there are also background work processes.

3. SAP systems use work process multiplexing technology to process
user requests.
Answer: work process multiplexing
Put differently, this means that there is not a one-to-one assignment of
user to dialog work process for the entire duration of the logon.

4. Which button(s) can you use to create new entries in the SAP Logon
system list?
Answer: B, D, E
You can use the Properties button to display the properties of an entry.
You can use the Logon button to log on the selected system. There is
no Create button in the SAP Logon program.

5. What possible advantages does the correct use of logon groups offer?
Answer: B, C
The users still need to log on to the system in the normal way after
logon groups have been configured. Creating logon groups is not a
prerequisite for setting buffer sizes of above 1 GB.

6. With which transaction can you obtain an overview of the instances
of your SAP system?
Answer: B
Transaction SM50 lists the work processes of an instance. Transaction
SM52 does not exist, and transaction SM04 calls the user list for an
instance.

7. You can use transaction SM12 to manage the lock entries of the SAP
system. Transaction SM13 is used to manage the update requests.
Answer: SM12, SM13
Transactions SM12 and SM13 are important tools for the system
administrator.






UNIT 2 – Starting and Stopping the SAP Systems

1. Which SAP processes are started when the SAP system or an instance
is started?
Answer: A, C, D
SAPOSCOL is an underlying process that should always be running,
even if the SAP system is shut down. START_SAP_NOW and
LAUNCH_DB are made up. The message server is started once for
each SAP system, and the gateway server is started once for each
instance.

2. Log information for the dispatcher is stored in the file dev_disp. You
can control the granularity of the logged information using the profile
parameter rdisp/TRACE. There are four trace levels; error messages
and warnings are displayed, by default, at level 1.
Answer: dev_disp, rdisp/TRACE, four, 1

3. You can display the users logged on to the SAP system with
transactions SM04 and AL08. You can obtain an overview of the
scheduled background jobs with transaction SM37. You can use
transaction SM02 to send a system message to the users that are
logged on.
Answer: SM04, AL08, SM37, SM02
Transaction SM04 is instance-specific, transaction AL08, on the other
hand, is cross-instance. In transaction SM37, you can select by client
and user, among other things. In transaction SM02, you can restrict
the sending of the message to instances or clients.


UNIT 3 – Introduction to System Configuration

1. In which sequence are the system parameters read from the specified
locations by the system?
Answer: C
There is no file called start.ini involved in this context; it has been
made up.

2. In which profile can you change the number of background work
processes?
Answer: D
The instance profile is the correct profile in this case, as settings in
this profile only apply to the affected instance, and the number of
work processes for an instance is to be defined here. The start profile
contains information about the processes to be started during the
system start. In the default profile, you maintain parameters that
apply to all instances or for the entire SAP system. The background
profile does not exist.

3. You can use transaction RZ10 to check the consistency of individual
profiles.
Answer: RZ10
In addition to the consistency of the individual profiles, you can use
transaction RZ10 to check all profiles. In this case, the system also
checks the consistency between the profiles.

4. In which sequence should you perform the listed steps when setting
up operation modes?
Answer: A
It is especially important that you follow the correct sequence when
first setting up the operation modes.


UNIT 4 – Access to Help

1. The SAP Library provides you with information about how you can
partition your hard disks.
Answer: False
Partitioning hard disks is not part of the SAP Library.

2. The SAP Library also offers a glossary of important terms.
Answer: True
Yes, it does.

3. The SAP Library is only available in the Internet at the URL
http://help.sap.com.
Answer: False
The SAP Library can and should also be set up locally, for example on
a file or Web server.

4. The following technical forms of the online help, also known as th
SAP Library, are available:
Answer: B, C, E
Compressed HTML does not exist, although Compiled HTML
(.chm) does. Compiled HTML is the recommended format for
32 bit Microsoft Windows front ends. The other help types are
PlainHtmlHttp, PlainHtmlFile, and DynamicHelp.

5. The sapdoccd.ini file can be stored in three different places.
In which sequence is the directory tree searched: A) C:\Program
Files\SAP\FrontEnd\, B) C:\WINNT, and C) C:\Program
Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui?
Answer: The sequence is: B - C - A.


UNIT 5 – Fundamentals of Working with the Database

1. Changes to the data are logged by the database in the log files. These
files also contain the changes in status of the database.
Answer: log files, database
The log mechanism is essential and must not be deactivated.

2. To minimize the risk of data loss, we strongly recommend a daily
complete data backup. If you use a partial data backup as your daily
backup, you must perform a complete data backup at least once a
week.
Answer: daily, week
In addition to a complete data backup, you should, of course, also
back up the log information at least once a day.


UNIT 6 – Archiving

1. Every archiving object in the SAP system is connected 1:1 with the
content of a single database table.
Answer: False
Different business objects could belong to each archiving object in the
SAP system. The data for these business objects could, in turn, be
distributed across multiple database tables.

2. The names of the archive files are determined at runtime. How are
these names generally specified for a specific archiving object?
Answer: C
The name of the archive files is determined at runtime by settings in
the archiving object-specific Customizing (assignment of a logical file
name for the specific archiving object) and in the Basis Customizing
(assignment of a physical file name to a logical file name in the
Basis Customizing and the assignment of a logical file name).
No specifications about the name of the archive file are made in
cross-object Customizing. The exact time of the archiving run can
appear in the name of the archiving file using a parameter, but the
name is generally not determined by this alone.

3. After data has been archived from the SAP system and deleted it
from the SAP system.s database, it is no longer possible to access this
data with read accesses.
Answer: False
It is still possible to access data to read it after it has been stored in
the archive and deleted from the SAP system.s database. Depending
on the archiving object concerned, there may be a number of views
between which the user can choose (such as a technical view and a
business view).


UNIT 7 – Working with the Transport System

1. Which elements are part of the data structure of an SAP system?
Answer: B, C, E
The object repository, cross-client Customizing, and the clients are
part of the data structure of an SAP system. The database structure is
not part of the data structure; rather, it contains it.

2. Decide which of the following statements are correct.
Answer: B, C
Entering customer data is not part of Customizing and therefore
does not require a Customizing request. Only client-dependent
Customizing requires a Customizing request; cross-client
Customizing, on the other hand, requires a workbench request.
A change request contains one or more tasks, each of which are
assigned to only one developer.

3. Which statements are correct?
Answer: C, D
The transport is divided into only two phases, Export and Import.
The import into the database of the target system is never performed
automatically.


UNIT 8 – Support Packages, Plug-ins and Add-ons

1. What are Support Packages and Add-Ons used for?
Answer: B, C
Support Packages are not used to enter user data. Customer
developments are transported to other systems using transport
requests. Preliminary corrections are imported using the SAP Note
Assistant.

2. Support Packages can be imported in any order.
Answer: False
Support Packages must be imported in ascending order, without
any gaps.

3. All SPAM/SAINT updates must always be imported.
Answer: False
All associated programs are always upgraded during the
SPAM/SAINT update. It is therefore not necessary to follow any
particular order.

4. The queue for importing the SPAM update must be manually
confirmed.
Answer: False
It is not necessary either to define a special queue, nor to confirm
this non-existent queue.

5. A prerequisite for importing a SPAM/SAINT update is that there are
no aborted Support Packages in the system.
Answer: True
This is true, there must not be any aborted Support Packages in the
system.

6. You use transaction SNOTE to import individual SAP Notes. Using
the Note Assistant means that you are not queried for an object key in
the SAP Service Marketplace. SAP Notes that have been imported
using the Note Assistant do not require a modification adjustment
with transaction SPAU.
Answer: SNOTE, object key, Note, SPAU
SNOTE is used to import individual SAP Notes, the modification
adjustment is performed with SPAU. It is also not necessary to enter
an SSCR key.


UNIT 9 – Scheduling Background Tasks

1. A background job contains one or more steps. An ABAP program or
an external command or program can be executed in a step of this
type. A job can be triggered at a particular time or when a defined
event occurs.
Answer: steps, external, step, time, event
After the job is triggered, it is processed without interruption by a
single background work process.

2. What status can a job have?
Answer: B, D, F
In addition to the three correct answers, a job could have the status
Scheduled, Ready, or Canceled.

3. Which of the listed options for time-dependent scheduling of a job
can be implemented with the standard resources of the SAP system?
Answer: A, B, C, D, E
All of the options listed can be realized by default.

4. Which of the listed options for event-dependent scheduling of a job
can be implemented with the standard resources of the SAP system?
Answer: A, B, C
Option D cannot be realized in the standard system. However,
you can implement this as one of many additional possibilities by
extending the standard system using function modules.

5. If one of the system.s ten background work processes is reserved for
class A jobs, and jobs are being processed in the other nine work
processes, the reserved work process remains free even if a class A job
is waiting for execution.
Answer: False
The work processes that are reserved for class A jobs process class A
jobs. The option to reserve work processes for class A jobs should
only prevent all work processes being occupied with class B or C jobs.

6. If a user has authorization to schedule an external program as a step of
a background job, he or she can run any operating system command.
Answer: True
If you do not want, as an administrator, to assign this critical
authorization, but want to enable your users to run a specific
operating system command, you can define an external command
in the SAP system.


UNIT 10 – Including Printers in SAP Systems

1. Which of the following access methods exist in the SAP system?
Answer: A, B, D
Instance printing does not exist.

2. Which of the listed states can a spool request have?
Answer: A, C, D, F
The incorrect options canceled and active are possible status messages
from job monitoring. Other possible statuses of a spool request are -,
+, Proc., , Problem, and Time.




UNIT 11 – Basics of User Administration

1. How are authorizations assigned to a user?
Answer: A, B
Authorizations are combined into profiles. The roles assigned to
users contain profiles with appropriate authorizations for the role.
Authorizations are not assigned using user names or a CA.

2. The SAP authorization concept is a positive concept because ...
Answer: B
SAP uses a positive authorization concept. This means that
everything that is not explicitly allowed is automatically forbidden.

3. System parameters for the user logon are in the area login. To
display user.s incorrect logon attempts, call the Information System
with transaction SUIM. The system trace function is called using
transaction ST01.
Answer: login, SUIM, ST01
User logon settings are implemented using the login/* parameter.
The Information System is called with transaction SUIM, the system
trace function with ST01.


UNIT 12 – Setting up Remote Connections

1. Which Remote Function Call procedures does an SAP system
provide?
Answer: A, D, F
In addition to the three correct answers (synchronous, transactional,
and queued RFC), the system also provides asynchronous RFC and
FastRFC.

2. Which RFC variant can you use to processwork steps in parallel?
Answer: You can use asynchronous RFC to process program steps in
parallel, as long as there are work processes available in the system.

3. To connect two SAP systems by RFC, you require an RFC interface in
each system (this automatically exists) and a defined RFC connection
from one system to the other.
Answer: RFC interface, RFC connection
The basic requirement is the RFC interface, which is in the protocol
stack of every SAP system. You must also set up a connection from
the calling system to the called system (transaction SM59).


UNIT 13 – System Monitoring

1. What can alert monitoring be used for?
Answer: C
Monitoring objects are only monitored, not administered using alert
monitoring. The range of monitored is very large, since monitors can
also be created for .exotic. objects.

2. Why include remote systems in your alert monitoring?
Answer: C
Including remote systems should allow you to monitor these systems
centrally.

3. What types of monitors are there in the SAP system?
Answer: C, D
There are static and rule-based monitors.

4. Properties variants are used to...
Answer: C
CCMS alert monitoring settings are stored with properties variants


UNIT 14 – SAP Solution Manager

UNIT 15 – Structured Troubleshooting

1. With which of the following transactions can you activate a trace for
SQL statements in the SAP system?
Answer: A, C
You can analyze SQL statements by activating the trace in transaction
ST01 (system trace) or ST05 (performance trace). Transaction SM21
(System Log) is the system log and ST04 (Database Performance
Analysis) is used to analyze database statistics.

2. Which port does SAPLPD use under MicrosoftWindows, by default?
Answer: B
Port 515 is used by default.


UNIT 16 - Introduction to System Security

1. Evaluate the following statements.
Answer: B, C, D
SAP* and DDIC certainly do have critical authorizations. The other
statements are true.

SAP Web AS Administration II – ADM102

ANSWERS

Unit 1: Technology Components in the Internet Environment

1. Which of the following technology components can be used together
with an SAP R/3 Enterprise system?
Answer: A, B, C
All of the above. The SAP ITS can be used with any SAP system (as
of SAP Basis 3.1G). The technical foundation of SAP R/3 Enterprise
is SAP Web AS 6.20 - for which the ICM and SAP J2EE Engine can
be configured.

2. Which tools can you use to administer an SAP ITS?
Answer: A, C
There are various programs at operating system level after an SAP
ITS installation that you can use to administer an SAP ITS. The
browser-based ITS Administration tool, with which you can also
monitor remote SAP ITS instances, is easier to use.

3. Which statement is correct?
Answer: D
All of the answers provided are incorrect. The ICM is a process
(which internally consists of multiple threads) that is available for all
operating systems supported by SAP. You can use a profile parameter
to configure either no ICM or one ICM for each SAP instance (and
therefore for each dispatcher). Scaling is performed using the settings
for the number of threads and memory allocation.

4. The ICM is relevant only for applications based on BSPs.
Answer: False
Executing BSP applications requires the ICM. However, there are
also other applications (Web services such as SOAP/XML or Web
reporting with the SAP BW), that use the ICMand ICF but do not
use BSPs). Thanks to the ICM and ICF, the SAP Web AS can also
perform the role of Web client and can process other protocols such
as SMTP in addition to HTML.

5. In which trace/log file can you identify whether the SAP J2EE Engine
was correctly started?
Answer: B
The file in which the system logs whether the SAP J2EE Engine has
been started is dev_disp. The dispatcher starts the SAP J2EE Engine.
Therefore the information is stored in the dev_disp file. sapstart.log is
the log file for the start process of an SAP system. dev_w0 is the trace
file for a dialog work process, and dev_icm is the trace file for the
Internet Communication Manager (ICM) process.


6. What are the names of the significant components that make up the
SAP J2EE Engine?
Answer: B, C
The SAP J2EE Engine consists of one or more dispatchers and servers.
Work processes are only used in the .standard. SAP environment,
and the ICM is the new process in SAP Web AS 6.10. A cluster is
simply a term for whether you are working with multiple servers and
dispatchers with the SAP J2EE Engine.

7. Which statement(s) is/are correct?
Answer: B, D
The SAP Web dispatcher communicates with the message server by
HTTP(S) to obtain information about the available application servers
(which includes their capacity). Although the SAP Web dispatcher
can act as a URL filter, it does not replace the function of a firewall.
Only requests that are addressed to the configured port of the SAP
Web dispatcher are processed.


UNIT 2 – Globalization

1. Which statements are correct with regard to globalization?
Answer: C, E
Centralized and decentralized system configurations with their
hybrid forms, country versions, and time zones are some aspects that
must be considered with a global system.

2. What must be taken into account when importing an additional
language into an SAP system?
Answer: A, C, E
You can use transaction SMLT to import additional languages with
language-dependent texts into an SAP system. You do not need to
reimport Support Packages using transaction SPAM; the Support
Packages are handled using transaction SMLT.

3. Which statements are correct with regard to code pages?
Answer: B, C
If you use MDMP, multiple code pages can be operated
simultaneously in one instance of an SAP system. If you use Unicode,
characters are stored with a length of up to four characters.


UNIT 3 – Technical Aspects of External Communication

1. Which of the following statements regarding SAPconnect are correct?
Answer: C
There are two ways to send mail in SAPconnect: by RFC connection
or using the SMTP plug-in of the SAP Web AS. The other statements
are incorrect.

2. The connection of a mail server to an SAP system to send e-mails
using SMTP from the SAP system runs through an SAPconnect node.
Answer: True
To configure a send process for SMTP in the SAP system, you must,
among other things, also have configured and activated an SMTP
node using transaction SCOT (SAPconnect).

3. How can the SAP system be connected with telephone equipment in
the context of SAPphone?
Answer: A, C
The connection between the SAP system and the telephone equipment
is made using a CTI server. This can either be implemented using
a CTI gateway from a third-party vendor or the TAPI interface in
connection with a SAPphone server.


UNIT 4 – eCATT

1. Which possibilities does eCATT provide?
Answer: A, B, C, D
You can use eCATT to perform cross-system tests. Unlike CATT, you
can also test function modules and SAP transactions that use the
Control Framework. It is also possible to test applications in the
SAP GUI for HTML or BSPs and JSPs using an interface to external
test tools.

2. There is a fixed connection between the test data required for an
eCATT test case and the test script, and the data cannot be used
without this fixed test script.
Answer: False
In eCATT, the test data used for the test is stored independently of a
fixed test script in test data containers. This allows the same test data
to be reused in different test cases with different test scripts.

3. Which statements about the relationship between system data
containers and test scripts are true?
Answer: B, D
Both test scripts and system data containers are defined in the context
of a test configuration. The test configuration links the initially
independent objects .system data container. and .test script.. This
has the advantage that system data containers can be reused; that
is, multiple test scripts can access the same system data container.
System data containers can contain more system entries than are
required in the test script; however, only systems that are defined in
the system data containers can be accessed from test scripts.

4. Which eCATT driver is suitable for recording and running SAP
transactions that run in SAP GUI for Windows?
Answer: A, C
You can use the SAPGUI and TCD drivers for recording and running
SAP transactions that run in the SAP GUI for Windows (or in the SAP
GUI for Java). If the transaction does not use the Control Framework,
we recommend that you use TCD; otherwise, the SAPGUI driver
is required. The FUN driver is used for testing function modules.
WINGUI is an imaginary name in this context.


UNIT 5 – Advanced User Administration Topics

1. Which of the following statements with regard to Central User
Administration are correct?
Answer: C, D, E
The CUA clients linked by ALE are known as the .central system.
and .child systems,. and as .logical systems.. You can connect SAP
systems to a CUA if they have at least SAP Basis 4.5B or an SAP Web
AS.

2. Which of the following statements about logical systems are correct?
Answer: A, B, E
The table that contains the IDs of the logical systems is a
cross-client table. Each ID is assigned to exactly one client, and the
recommendation for the naming convention is CLNT###. The
clients involved in a CUA require a unique assignment to a logical
system.

3. Which of the following statements about the required RFC
connections in a CUA are correct?
Answer: A, D, E
The names assigned to the RFC connections used must be identical
to the names of the logical systems, that is, also in uppercase
letters. The user behind the RFC connection should be of the type
Communication. The central system requires an RFC connection to
itself. The communication users require a number of authorizations
only to create the CUA; the corresponding roles can be removed from
the user master records after the setting up of the CUA is completed.

4. With which methods is it possible to create users in child systems
in the context of an active CUA?
Answer: B, E
If you are using a CUA, you can only create users in child systems
using transaction SU01 in the central system. The creation of users is
possible using the Systems, Roles, and Profiles tab pages.

5. Directory services can only be used as a repository for information
about users.
Answer: False
Thanks to flexible data model, data about any objects (such as
hardware resources or documents) can be stored in directory services
. although their use for user information is particularly widespread.

6. Which prerequisites must be fulfilled on the SAP side to use an SAP
Web AS with a directory server?
Answer: A, D
In the SAP system, the RFC destination used and the LDAP Connector
must be maintained with the same name (in uppercase letters).
The operating system program ldap_rfc can then be started on the
selected application server of the SAP system . while the directory
server(s) addressed can run on remote servers (without ldap_rfc).
Additional Customizing includes the definition of a system user and
the connection data, including the host name and port number of
the directory server.
The LDAP system user is stored in Customizing for the directory
service connection and has nothing to do with the SAP users
maintained in transaction SU01.

7. During a synchronization process, data can be simultaneously
imported and exported for a user.
Answer: True
The synchronization indicators do not need to be identical for
all mappings. It is therefore entirely possible that, for example,
SAP-specific data (such as role assignments) is exported during a
synchronization process, while other data (such as a fax number) is
imported.


UNIT 6 – SAP XI

1. Which of the following statements about the SAP Exchange
Infrastructure are correct?
Answer: B, C
The SAP Exchange Infrastructure, as the SAP platform for process
integration, is based on an open architecture and the use of open
standards. The integration knowledge is stored at a central location.

2. Which components are part of the SAP Exchange Infrastructure?
Answer: A, C
The main components of the SAP Exchange Infrastructure are the
