A Must-Have Reference for SAP BASIS Admins
If you are the BASIS Administrator (SAP terminology for the system administrator) of an SAP 3.1H system then you *need* this book. The company I work for started an SAP project thinking that the already overworked network admin could take over being the BASIS admin as well. Once we got three months behind schedule it fell to me (as the next most knowledgeable person for our db/os platform -- NT/MS SQL) to take over. Not having experience with SAP this would have been a near-impossible task without a reference like this. S.A.M.E 3.1H covers not only relevent procedures but gives you some background as well (important when management decides to cut corners by not implementing the 'recommended' approach). In the few cases where our own staff or implementation partners took issue with something in this book, experience generally proved the book to be correct. Considering the breadth of the SAP system and the considerable knowledge required to be an effective BASIS admin, this book is easily the best SAP training value there is. It includes detailed step-by-step procedures and checklists for some tasks that would otherwise be pretty difficult, and also goes over day to day monitoring of the health and security of your SAP installation. While it is very helpful to take the formal SAP BASIS training (as I eventually got) this is the reference that you'll be pulling out over and over. Note that there are different System Administration Made Easy guides for different versions of SAP. While we are still on 3.1H we've already got the later versions on-site to prepare for upgrading and to understand the differences from the BASIS admin's point-of-view.
