ADM100 – System Administration I of SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business Suite — Lesson 1: Application Server ABAP Architecture, SAP Logon, System Landscape, and Start-Stop Procedures

Learning Objectives

• Interpret the SAP structures, master data, settings, roles, and dependencies relevant to this lesson.
• Perform the lesson workflow and create a reviewable ABAP system architecture and startup guide.
• Evaluate the situation where an instance does not start after a profile change and choose proportionate corrective action.

Detailed Topics

• Application Server ABAP Architecture applied to the course scenario, system behavior, and expected evidence.
• SAP Logon applied to the course scenario, system behavior, and expected evidence.
• System Landscape applied to the course scenario, system behavior, and expected evidence.
• and Start-Stop Procedures applied to the course scenario, system behavior, and expected evidence.

Instructor Demonstration

The instructor traces an end-to-end case involving a system administration team managing ABAP application servers, profiles, jobs, users, and database operations. The demonstration explains system navigation, configuration dependencies, transaction results, and the evidence recorded in ABAP system architecture and startup guide. It also tests the exception where an instance does not start after a profile change.

Hands-On Exercise

Complete a controlled exercise for Application Server ABAP Architecture, SAP Logon, System Landscape, and Start-Stop Procedures. Confirm the business or technical objective, perform the required SAP steps, capture results, investigate the stated exception, and preserve the final outcome in ABAP system architecture and startup guide.

1. Confirm scope, prerequisites, master data, roles, configuration dependencies, and expected results.
2. Execute the process while recording transactions, settings, observations, and system messages.
3. Test normal behavior, the stated exception, and one integration or authorization dependency.
4. Document corrections, owners, verification steps, review triggers, and operational handover notes.

Scenario Analysis

• Identify the SAP object, rule, setting, or process step with the strongest influence on the result.
• Compare two defensible responses and explain their business, technical, control, and evidence trade-offs.
• Determine how the ABAP system architecture and startup guide should be approved, retained, retested, and updated.

Troubleshooting Guidance

Begin where expected SAP behavior first differs from the observed result. Check organizational assignments, master data, configuration sequence, authorization, integration, and transaction evidence separately. Treat “an instance does not start after a profile change” as a hypothesis until the relevant settings, logs, documents, and process outcomes confirm the cause.

Validation Checklist

• Required SAP structures, master data, roles, settings, and dependencies are present.
• The ABAP system architecture and startup guide connects the final conclusion to reviewable system evidence.
• Normal processing, the stated exception, integration behavior, and follow-up were tested.
• Corrections, ownership, retest criteria, documentation, and operational handover are complete.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can perform Application Server ABAP Architecture, SAP Logon, System Landscape, and Start-Stop Procedures, explain the system behavior, and defend the result through ABAP system architecture and startup guide.
