"In SAP for logging in to the system you need a user ID and a password. This user ID is created by the system administrator. The first time you login to the SAP system you need to change that password which has been assigned to you while creating the user ID. Every user ID will have certain roles assigned to it. The System Admin (Basis Administrator) is responsible for creating these roles after consulting the Functional team. Each user will typically have several roles assigned to their user ID. The user roles are predefined in the SAP system and each employee would have a combination of several roles which have been predefined in the SAP system. The roles are defined using the activity groups in the SAP system. A proper understating of the activity groups is necessary for creating and assigning Roles in the SAP system. Once a pre-defined user role is assigned to a user the system then automatically displays the appropriate User menu when the user logs on and provides the required authorization. An activity group can contain Transactions, Reports, Files, Web Links. Once the activity group has been assigned it defines the user specific menus. Once the user logs on to SAP a user specific menu is displayed this menu is controlled by the activity group that has been assigned to the user. To display a list of descriptions of the pre-defined user roles, select Tools---- Administration----User Maintenance--'Repository Infosys--' Activity Groups----' List of activity groups according to complex selection criterion---' Selection according to activity group name or call transaction S_BCE_68001418. The pre-defined user roles are delivered as templates and have names beginning with 'SAP_' and suffix _AG. Composite activity groups can be built with individual activity groups. A composite activity group does not contain any authorization."
"A subset of Standard SQL that is fully integrated in ABAP is Open SQL statements. Their role is to help you by giving permission to access data irrespective of the database system, which the R/3 installation is using. The Data Manipulation Language (DML) part of the Standard SQL is present in the Open SQL. In other words, it gives you the permission to read (SELECT) and change (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) data. In the R/3 system, the tasks of the Data Definition Language (DDL) and Data Control Language (DCL) parts of the Standard SQL are performed by the ABAP dictionary and the authorization system."
In SAP ABAP a WatchPoint can be set to break the program at the point when the value of a filed in the program changes. In SAP ABAP a maximum of 10 WathPoints can be set in a session. This is a very handy tool if you want to break and debug the program only from the point when a field under consideration has the desired value.
Please see the figure given below.
Fields
If you want to see the contents of any filed in the debugger, please double click on the filed. A maximum of 4 fields can be seen at a time. In case you want to change the value of a filed at run time you need to enter it and then click on the pencil icon to change it.
Tables
If you need to see the contents of the Table, double click on the table name and click on the tables option in the debugger. Here you can see the contents of all the fields in the table. In case you need to forcefully change the contents of one or more fields you can do so by typing the desired value and clicking on the pencil icon. Make sure that you click on the pencil sign for each field before proceeding to the next filed. In case you forget to click on the pencil sign for any particular field it will reset to the original value.
Always specify your conditions in the Where-clause instead of checking
them yourself with check statements. The database system can then use an index
(if possible) and the network load is considerably less.
Always use Pretty Printer and Extended Program Check before releasing the code.
Do not leave unused code in the program. Comment the code thoroughly. Align the comments and the Code. Follow the SAP Standards and SAP Best Practices guidelines. It’s a good practice to take a dump of the code on your local drive.
