What are the Essentials for a Sap Security Consultant.

Hi Gurus,
I have completed a Implementation in which I alone handled the entire Security . It is a defense client .
Now I am technically expert at security. But I have no functional knowledge.
Implementing Security in SAP one needs to have knowledge of funtional process as well. The course that are purely technical stuff and I have good idea of techincal stuff.
The Question is what is a Sap Security Consultant expected to know . And how to go about acquiring that knowledge?

Hi Hussain,
There is a little bit of release-dependent-everything in this thread: Authorization for VAP2 in conflict with VD02 for F_KNA1_GRP
Try solve it and you will understand that you need the requirements (without that you are anyway doomed) and the knowledge and the appropriate access to create / test it.
BAPI's are remote enabled stable interfaces to SAP standard functionality. They are the best examples of combining functional, technical and standard skills in a sustainable way without creating a mess (a mess, way beyond the bounds of your concerns...).
If you learn to use the available tools and information sources, then you dont need to stress about the essentials, even if your customer makes a design error before or after your advice.
Cheers,
Julius

What are the requirements for Learning SAP WAS 2004s?

Hello all,
I came thru from different streams like started my career as a DB2 Developer and next worked as ETL developer on DataStage EX next I jumped to IBM SOA and there I learned the SOA stack and again shifted to SAP's ESA and worked for middle ware tool XI 3.0 for 10 months.
Up to now I didn't have stability. Till now with my analysis and got to know that in future the entire scope is for Infrastructure and Business Intelligence side.
So I opted for Infrastructure side SAP WAS.
Can any body explain how the path should be implemented to stabilize in this WAS area.
As I want to be geek in OS and DB abstraction?
As I want to be good programmer in Java?
As I want to be an exposure on ABAP?
As I have to be familiar with normal Administration knowledge?
Any more things...!!
also explain about how the difference between old legacy SAP BASIS and WAS 2004s.
Can some techiee, pl take it into hand and explain in-detail.

What are the essentials for manual backup in Yosemite?

I've been backing up to CDs and DVDs. Aside from my own files, in a manual backup (not using Time Machine), what needs to be backed up in Yosemite?

Hi crabpaws,
Happy New Year! The resource below lists the important files that should be backed up. Although the title of the article is Mavericks, the information applies to Yosemite as well. It may be easier to backup files to an external drive than to multiple CDs and DVDs. I'm not sure why you aren't using Time Machine to make your backup ... but I'll include information on it as well.
OS X Mavericks: Important app files to back up
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13985
If you can’t back up your entire Mac, back up the files listed below, which are used by apps to hold user data or preferences.
The tilde (~) indicates the name of your home folder, which is the same as your user name. (For example, if your user name is Anna, your home folder is named anna.)
Note: The Library folder is hidden. To open it, in the Finder, hold down the Option key, then choose Go > Library.
Data file
Location
Your documents

Apps not from Apple may store user data in different locations. For more information, check the documentation that came with your app.
If you moved app data, such as your iTunes or iPhoto library, make sure to also back up that data.

Hi Pavan,
 Just to add some more valuable information.
Organisational master data : Every company is structured in a certain way. In order to work with the SAP System your company structure has to be represented in the system. This is done with the help of various organizational structures.
Condition master data : In sales and distribution, products are sold or sent to business partners or services are performed for them. Data about the products and services as well as about the business partners is the basis for sales processing. Sales processing with the SAP R/3 System requires that the master data has been stored in the system.
Material master data : In addition to sales and distribution, other departments of the company such as accounting or materials management access the master data. The material master data is stored in a specific structure in order to allow access from these different views.
Document master data : The processing of business transactions in sales and distribution is based on the master data. In the SAP R/3 System, business transaction are stored in the form of documents. These sales and distribution documents are structured according to certain criteria so that all necessary information in the document is stored in a systematic way.
Customer Master Data : or for that matter various business partners, we maintain data for them also called as the customer master data or vendor master data like that.
Thanks & Regards

What are the announcements for renting VPS?

What are the announcements for renting VPS? For details, understand VPS and make the choice of rental; for Taiwan VPS and Hong Kong VPS, without records, unlimited contents, wider range, and more efficient experience. Your server will show its excellence with the advantages.
Most station agents become less inclined to virtual hosting, for national space, domain name records are needed, which waste the time; for overseas hosting such as Korea hosting, US hosting, no records, but slower speed than national space; therefore, more and more station agents prefer servers, but because the price of servers are too high, they turn their focus on VPS.
The following are the announcements:
1.Open remote desktop lander:
Start-run-mstsc or start-procedure-nearby-remote desktop connect
2.Several conditions for account halt:
First, client side login cause account halt
Second, certain account quits the remote control in midway when it runs routine
Third, certain routine is restricted by synchronous operation of system administrator.
3. Not install the third party firewall
If you need firewall, please use windows firewall, the third party firewall in VPS will cause system collapse and data loss, the system automatically obtains the newest windows patches and install itself, which do not require human operation. Installing system patches in VPS sometimes will heavily lead to VPS collapse and data loss.
Do not modify remote desktop port.
Because of the specialty of VPS system, default remote desktop port is 3389, do not modify randomly, or the remote connection will be out of work.
4. Except some special conditions that user registration is needed for certain procedure, when the remote connection has been close down, do not forget logout user to save memory resource, and prevent the loading connection next time, if it happens, reboot VPS.
5. VPS has been set with relative security when it was paid, with high security. It suggests that do not open firewall randomly, if you open it by your own, the following ports should be opened: 21(FTP), 3389(remote connection), 80(website http), 3306(MySQL), 1433(SQL Server). Timely check whether there is suspicious account or system log, download 360 safety guard to avoid these files and process.
6. Try not to modify registry hand-actuated, ensure the reboot of VPS. Modify remote ports please add the modified port in firewall first, and then reboot.
7.Modify IIS installation files, backup these files, and then modify them with the software that can keep the file layout, prevent these files from destroying IIS.
8.Website service of VPS and FTP service of IIS are default to open hand-actuated, set Web Publishing Service as automatically if you are station agent. If you often use FTP service of IIS, please set FTP Publishing Service as automatically, i.e. reboot it automatically. If you use serv-u, tick all the system service terms. In the terms of security and resource consumption , it suggests that those users who seldom use FTP do not set it as automatically.

Hi there
"So for ALL the apps, the annual monthly fee is £46.88, but you can rent occasionally for £70.32 pm.... ?" Correct
£17.58 single app plan requires an annual commit - it's £27.34 for the month-to-month plan without annual commit.

What are the methods to modify SAP standard tables?

hi
what are the methods to modify SAP standard tables?

.APPEND structures AND CUSTOMIZING INCLUDES.
these are the two methods.. but customizing includes we, as a developers do not use.
generally we use .APPEND structures to modify standard tables.
note that we need an access key to modify atandard tables.
we can create an apend structure and add that structure to the standard table at the end.
note that .append structures should only be added only at the end.
that is the reason we use .append structures to modify standard tables.as we should not include a field in the middle and disturb the original order of the standard table fields as it may effect many objects depending on the standard table.
but Some standard tables for which there is a LONG datatype field can never be modified.
the reason is the LONG datatype field should always be there at the end and also .APPEND strutures should always be there at the end. there will be a conflict. so, some standard tables can not be appended.
