11. Why need to stop SAP during Kernel upgrade.

- Reason behind is few files and executables are responsible to start and run SAP application server
and few executables are responsible to write logs or update. If we try to replace SAP kernel on fly it may
prompt an error file in use.

12. Where to check DB log traces in OS level.

19. What is Green filed and brown field implementation

- Green filed implementation: It is a new implementation of an S/4HANA system starting from scratch
- Brown field implementation: It consists of a Conversion (software upgrade and data transformation) of
the existing and complete SAP ECC system into an S/4HANA
- Blue field implementation: It is based on a System Conversion of an empty client and the subsequent
migration of data.

Workflow, TMS, and CUA).
Communication - Dialog-free communication for external RFC calls.
Service - Dialog user available to a larger, anonymous group of users.
Reference - General, non-person related users that allows the assignment of additional identical
authorizations, such as for Internet users created with transaction SU01. No logon is possible.

23. Difference between SNote, Kernel and SPS

- SAP Note: An error in a single transaction or program is removed by implementing a SAP note.
- Kernel: Kernel contains the executable files (.EXE) like other applications and when a Kernel upgrade is
done a new version of the EXE file replaces the older versions.
- Support Package: SAP support packages is a bunch of corrections, this can be used by applying
transaction SPAM

24. How do u categorize high, medium and low Background jobs in sap?
- High Priority: This category is mainly used for very critical and urgent tasks. Hence, these tasks
also get scheduled with class A priority job. Maybe one or more than that background work
processes gets reserved by Class A job.
- Medium Priority: After the Class A priority jobs get completed, these types of jobs gets
executed.
- Low Priority: Similarly, after the completion of jobs of classes A and B, the job of class C gets
started.

30. Modes of Transport in sap

- Workbench, customizing, Transport of copies and Re-location

31. What are the 3 files created during

32. What is private mode in sap
- Private mode is mode where the heap data is getting exclusively allocated by the user and is no
more shared across the system, this happen when your extended memory is exhausted.
a) Check in tcode: ST02
b) In memory History, find which user using Maximum Memory
c) zttz/role_extension parameter (in MB need to be checked, the value

33. Different types of users in Parameter tab

- Dialog, System, Communication, Service and Reference.

34. Types of RFC

- Synchronous RFC (sRFC): This RFC executes the system call only when all involved systems are
available.
- Asynchronous RFC (aRFC): This RFC executes the invoked function modules only once in the RFC
server.
- Transactional RFC (tRFC): This is similar to asynchronous RFC, but in this case a transaction ID is
involved to send multiple requests in case of errors.
- Queued RFC (qRFC): This is an extension of tRFC and is used to serialize tRFC calls in a queue.

35. How to add new entries into the SAP Router and how to make it effective.

36. A BG job is created without mentioning start condition and it is in the SCHEDULED status. Later some
time we have mentioned the Start condition for that job and when the time has arrived, status has
changed to Released, but the job has not yet started when the start condition has reached, what
would be the job status at that time.
– Job should be in “Ready” status, if triggered and not running (or) should be in Released status only

37. Is it possible to install SAP patches when other users are online?
- No, it will terminate it

38. What is the procedure to disable import all option from STMS in SAP?
- STMS T-code -> overview -> Select System -> Choose SAP System -> Go to transport tool tab ->
Create parameter “No_Import_All” with value set as 1 -> Save it.
39. Mention the use of personalized tab and parameter tab in user master record?
- Parameter Tab: It will allow access to assign T-code on which one has to work
- Personalization Tab: It is required for RFC connection between systems other than user personal
information

40. How to find the Kernel version and whether a system is Unicode or Non-unicode?
- Go to SM51 tcode -> Select release notes button in the application tool bar -> then you will see info
about Database, Kernel version, Unicode or non- Unicode.

41. How to import TR in OS level:

- Add transport request to the buffer: tp addtobuffer <TRANSPORT NO> <SID>
pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/<TRANSPORT PROFILE NAME> <Unconditional Mode Option>.
Eg: tp addtobuffer DEVK000112 QAS pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_QAS.PFL u18

- Import Transport request:tp import <TRANSPORT NO> <SID> pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/<TRANSPORT

PROFILE NAME> <Unconditional Mode Option>.
Eg: tp import DEVK000112 QAS pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_QAS.PFL u18

42. What is Scale up and Scale out?

- Scale out - increasing the size of one physical machine by increasing the amount of RAM available
for processing.
- Scale up - means combining multiple independent computers into one system. The main reason for
distributing a system across multiple hosts (that is, scaling out) is to overcome the hardware
limitations of a single physical server. This allows an SAP HANA system to distribute the load
between multiple servers.

43. SAP connecting Port numbers:

3200 - Dispatcher
3300 - Gateway
4800 - Gateway secured

- startup sequence of services: nameserver, preprocessor, compileserver, indexserver, scriptserver,
statisticsserver, xsengine, sapwebdisp and daemon.
- Start up sequence of services in hana depens on run level VALUE.You can find these start up
sequence in daemon trace - /usr/sap/H00/HDB00/xxxxx/trace> more daemon_xxxx.30000.000.trc

45. While running the SUM, what are the port numbers available to open the URL:
- 1128 for HTTP port & 1129 for HTTPS port

- Return code (4) indicates import ended with warning.
 - Return code (8) indicates not imported ended with error
- Return code (12) indicates import is cancelled.
- Return code (16) indicates import is cancelled.

47. Which transaction do you use to check Buffer Statistics?

- ST02, RZ10

48. What is the difference between Developer Trace, System Log and System Trace?
- System Trace: When you want to record internal SAP system activities, system trace is used. The
trace is useful in diagnosis internal problems within SAP system and the host system.
- System Log: To know the recent logs for application server and CI, System log is referred.
- Developer Trace: In the event of problems, developer trace, records the technical information
about the error or problem.

49. How to restrict multiple logins of user in SAP?

- In RZ10, login/multi_login_users= set to 1 to activate or login/disable_multi_gui_login= List out the
users that should be allow to logon for multiple times.

50. What is logical system? How to create and why?

- For communication between systems within the landscapes logical system is required. It enables
the system to recognize the target system as an RFC destination. TCODE used is SPRO.

51. Export / import method

- It is a Standard System copy/refresh method, used by exporting the data from an existing system
and importing it during the Standard System Copy method using the SWPM tool.

52. Backup / recovery method

- It is a Homogenous System copy/refresh method, used by taking back of the data from an existing
system using the DB tool (Hana Studio / SQL / Oracle) and recovering it during the Homogenous
System Copy method using the SWPM tool.

53. Pre-Step before starting SUM 2.0

- Check the Host Agent version to be the latest version.

54. How do you create an instance?

- Go to CCMS > Configuration or use Transaction code RZ04 or during SAP installation

55. SAP NetWeaver architecture?

- Presentation – Business – Integration – Connectivity – Persistence Layers
- SAP NetWeaver is one of central component of entire SAP software stack and provides you a
platform for other components and JAVA and ABAP applications.
- ICM – Dispatcher – Work Processes – Gateway – Message Server.
56. While starting the Java server, what are the services that will come up in jsmon?
- Service, Dispatcher, Gateway

57. What is the difference between ECC and S/4 Hana according to Basis perspective?
- The most important difference between S/4HANA and ECC is the database they use. While ECC
runs on third-party database systems such as Oracle, S/4HANA relies on the SAP in-memory
database
