I work in a company using SAP as its ERP application. As a SAP Basis Administrator (person handle on SAP Basis module), I don’t have lots of knowledge about it. But I just wanna try to share some overview about what Basis is in SAP.
Knowledge about Operating System (further known as OS) and Database is a must if we wanna be a Basis Administrator (further known as ‘Basis’ only).
A much knowledge about hardware (server, PCs, storage, tape, etc) is also needed to strengthen the above knowledge.
Knowledge about hardware is usually related with OS knowledge:
- hardware sizing –> decision to choose server type, capacity, speed, power, etc
- hardware landscape –> knowledge about system development, QA and production
- hardware monitoring, performance –> monitor the CPU and memory consumption
- hardware clustering –> server clustering, storage clustering, SAN, etc
- backup & recovery strategy–> manage the usage of tape / disk as backup destination
Knowledge about OS is like:
- maintain file system (UNIX) or drive (windows)
- basic command in OS, such as dir, copy (windows) or ls, cp (unix)
- schedule cron job (unix), schedule on windows
