In the authorization environment, in addition to assigning authorizations to SAP users, there are a number of important SAP Basis settings that you should check regularly to ensure that your SAP system is fully protected, both internally and externally. For example, particularly in the context of an audit, it is important to ensure that changes to the SAP system always remain traceable. In this blog, I would like to show you how you can best implement this and what to look out for.
If you want to skip the backgrounds and prefer a direct step-by-step guide, you can jump directly into the last section. Preparation For this workaround, you need access to both the source system and the BW system. In addition, they shall have the possibility to access the SE37 and execute functional modules there. Especially in production systems this is a very critical justification. So assume that you may need a Firefighter user for this action. Working in the BW system Now that the preparations have been completed, you have to call a FuBa on the BW system and on the source system, which solves the connection on the respective page. Beginning on the BW system, go into the transaction SE37 and call the function block "RSAR_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_DELETE": RSAR_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_DELETE Enter the required values here. The following table helps you fill in: Field Description I_LOGSYS The logical name of the source system. The name of the source system, as found in RSA1, will be entered here. In addition, this name can also be found in the DB table TBDLT. I_FORCE_DELETE Boolean, X = Delete despite error messages I_NO_TRANSPORT Boolean, X = This change should not be transported to subsequent systems I_NO_AUTHORITY Boolean, X = Ignore Permission Checks Work in the source system In the source system, go to transaction SE37 and call the function block "RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT" : The descriptions of the fields are as follows. These can be found in the RSBASIDOC source system connection table Field Description I_BIW_LOGSYS The logical name of the BW system. In the RSBASIDOC table, find the correct value in the column "RLOGSYS". I_OLTP_LOGSYS The logical name of the source system. The column ‘SLOGSYS’ in the table RSBASIDOC. I_FORCE_DELETE The logical name of the BW system. In the RSBASIDOC table, find the correct value in the column "RLOGSYS". Completion In the end, you have to call the respective function block in the BW and source system, fill in the parameters and execute the function block.

The Open Innovation Model approach comes into play in the idea creation, evaluation and selection phase, which can also be divided into the three eponymous sub-steps. In a closed innovation model, innovation is created only from the company itself. The Open Innovation Model allows for different sources of idea generation. So it is about opening up the innovation process, as shown in Figure 2, which was presented earlier. The figure shows the company boundaries through the dotted lines and the ideas that can be generated both within and outside the company. The Open Innovation approach can be divided into the three core processes of the Outside-In process, Inside-Out process and Coupled process. The Outside-In process involves knowledge from external sources in idea generation. This happens, for example, through cooperation with companies, suppliers or even customers. The inside-out process supports development, commercialisation, and deployment to markets outside of the organisation itself if there is little chance of success in implementing the idea internally. The Coupled process links the two strategies mentioned above. This is an attempt to generate cooperation successes through joint development and subsequent commercialisation in networks. In terms of the SAP basis, the Outside-In process plays an essential role in generating ideas within the framework of the Open Innovation approach.

Understanding the structure and functioning of the system is especially important for IT administration. It is not for nothing that "SAP Basis Administrator" is a separate professional field. On the page www.sap-corner.de you will find useful information on this topic.
