SAP Basis Automation

Background

SAP Business Application Software Integrated Solution (SAP Basis) lays the foundation for SAP applications. It is an extensive set of middleware programs and tools that are specifically designed to ensure seamless interoperability of SAP applications across various systems and databases.

Automation plays a crucial role in SAP Basis operations especially with SAP landscapes becoming more complex as an organization grows.

What SAP Basis tasks can be automated?

Any task that is repetitive can be automated. In SAP Basis, these tasks can include the following:

  • SAP Security User Password Reset/Unlock

  • SAP qRFC Restart for Errors/Stuck

  • SAP Batch Job Restart on Error

  • SAP OS Printer Queue Restart

  • OS Filesystem Cleanup

  • OS Linux Pacemaker Cluster Error Management

By automating these processes, organizations can reduce manual errors, accelerate task execution, and free up Basis administrators to focus on more strategic activities.
