Transcripts
the prime concept of today is what so
you know how to install GA you got it
now
sap versions
what are the software Erp versions
available in sap
R3 4.6 C 4.6 D then R3 4.7x Enterprise
Edition extensions 800 or 3 4. R3 4.7
extension set Enterprise and selections
at 200 then they released ACC file ecc6
then S4 Runner then what is the
difference between these softwares how
can you find out the difference
as admin you should have a variant of
knowledge of the Erp components non-arp
copper by looking at the system you
should understand okay this is the Erp
system this is an on Erp system this is
ECC system this is s4hana this is 4.7
this is easy 5.0 you should able to tell
how so what is the difference what is
the evaluation of sap Erp components the
evolution will see them now
before going to that
first give me some definitions okay
what is server anyone
server is a PC
in a network which is a dedicated a
specific task
for example in a network I have some
five systems
okay
okay you go to internet Center
you will have only one print server
every lab desktop won't have every cabin
don't have a printer right whatever the
print you want to take you will take
from that the owner's person the the
main guy who is sitting at the counter
he will have the printer right
that server is called as a print server
why
it is dedicated for a printing all the
printings will done on that system in a
network
that is dedicated refer printing
then what is application server second
thing
[Laughter]
[Music]
is it PC in your Networks
which is the dedication of
applications
[Music]
which is dedicated for a specific
server is dedicated for one task
application server means that server is
dedicated for that application the same
way uh we install sap in that sap is a
business application right
application is what software
if one server is dedicated for sap
software then I call it as
application server
right
so
sap has released
sap R3 4.6 C software
that was
only application server
only application server means that
server is
only dedicated for Erp kind of things
only you can do the business no other
thing that's it
[Music]
okay what are the software components we
have in that
so if you take any of the sap software
you will when you install the software
by default you'll get some components
I'll show you that components
okay this is this is your sap system
okay
oh what happened
yeah this is your sap system
when I install this sap system I want to
see the what are the components
installed with this system
to see the software components go to
system
State status
[Music]
yeah
here you can see the product version
some Sap net fever something is 7.4 Sap
net fever 7.4
if you open this magnifier button now it
will give you the component information
what are the software packets installed
in this
C
[Music]
it's a brand new system that's why it is
taking some time it has to load
everything from the hard disk to ram
yeah see
sap basis package
sap above package
SAP BW package
we are getting these three softwares
okay these three softwares are installed
if you install any Erp software
any Erp software of sap
by default you will get basis package a
back package HR package and logistic
package remember these things above
basis HR and Logistics
do basis people will do the business
what is the duty of basis paper
what is the duty of administration
okay
what is the duty of app people
development
so these two departments are related to
your software
so these people will do the
customization modifications enhancements
about people
this basis people will maintain your
software they will do all the
administrative kind of things
so this sap software needs
administrators and it developers first
without developers can you implement sap
it is a ready-made business application
which can be customizable as per
organizational requirement you just
install your sap software can you
directly run your business on that no we
change according to our business
requirement for that we do customization
modification enhancement who will do all
these things
[Music]
okay who will install the software
who will create the developers who will
move the objects from this system to the
system everything administrator kind of
things who will do
the basis people will do
so if you install any software whether
it may be Erp software whether it may be
non-arp software what is the meaning of
Erp it is a integration of all the
business modules
integration of all the business modules
what are the business modules you see
here in these four
business modules Logistics means
logistic General remember Logistics
general means you'll have SDM Finance
accounts controlling all the packages
[Music]
so these two HR and Logistics belongs to
business you can do business by using
these two modules
but by using these two can you do the
business
no
these two are these two are related to
your software these two are related to
your business remember that thing first
so it was only application server
R3 4.6 C is only application server
means only
if you install this software you can do
the business by using this software why
you have hrl above basis HR and
Logistics
in the year of 1998 99 that period okay
uh the sap words Erp version is R3 4.6 C
then how you connect that system for
example that server is
somewhere else that server is somewhere
else in USA how you connect you are here
in India you are the user you are
working in IBM and your client is some
uh us related client
they will definitely install their
application and database in the US only
they don't come to India to install your
servers right you have only GUI that was
only applications is there any web
content in that
no nothing only specific sap
Administration toolkit development
toolkit and HR analysis that's it there
is no web kind of thing
to collect that server what they used to
do along with that application server
they used to install one its server
internet transactional server
so they have installed R3 4.6 C
Plus
they take another system on that system
they use to install its internet
transactional server
if you want to connect to this
R3 4.6 C you have to connect to web
server web server will go and connect to
its by using this its you will connect
to this system
this is the way how we use to connect to
sap system when there is no internet in
that sap
sap has not released any internet kind
of thing but you want to connect to that
server then what is the solution for
that means extra you need to install one
its server internet transactional server
so the clients used to install sap
and some its server two servers there
are always connected to your web that
webview connect through your browser
this is the way you need to connect to
that system what is the kennel version
at that time
460c and 460
d
460 C
460 D that kernel version is called as
basis
only application server that was
applications server no internet
and what is the course you are learning
now
basis
so
my dears I am very sorry to see this
that you are not learning sap basis
your course name is not sap basis
anymore
that was basis when when the kernel
version is 460c and 460d that time they
used to call this module as
administrative modulus basis module
but now
it is not any more basis now you are
learning Network platform what is
Network
okay that was only basis what is the
kernel basis kernel 460 C and 460d
what kernel you are working right now I
will show you that kernel version
so if you see here
kernel info what is your kennel version
753 right
this 753 kernel is called as from 700
kernel it is calling as net fever
so are you learning basis or net fever
net fear you are in retriever
Consultants basis concern no base is
concerned but the people are habituated
to call you as a basis consultant that's
why the name is even now they are
calling you as basis Consultants but
actually in fact technically you are not
learning sap basis you are learning Sap
net fever platform native technology the
technology name is called as basis well
when it was only application server
when it was only application server and
your kernel is 460c 460d that time they
used to call it as basis
the next version
sap has released sap R3 four point
seven after 4.6 they have released R3
4.7
Enterprise Edition exchange is at 11110
actually that that is not 100 110
the kernel is changed if you update your
mobile the kernel version will change
Did You observe that
[Music]
yes yes
so when your software is changing the
dot exes and Dot dlls will change
whatever the software you change it in
the repository according to that you
have to design your dot exe files and
Dot dll files right so the channel is
changed
now at that is the year of 2001 2002.
that error is internet starting error I
can say right after coming of internet
all your world will be just like a small
web Village
so now everybody is connecting through
the network the Chinese Japanese America
USA wherever you are you can connect at
one location by using one web URL right
the internet is very much demanded this
Amazon's flipkarts alibaba's ebase
everything started into the market so
the web kind of online business is
started in the year of 2000 2000 and
that time
so what sap has think that if we are
only application server it is very hard
to survive in the market according to
the time according to the technology we
have to improve we have to update
ourselves right or wrong
to retain in the market
[Music]
to sustain with this
competition in the world you have to be
updated right now all the world is
moving towards the internet
if you are still maintaining only
application server it won't work out
right so what sap has think okay I need
to introduce internet into my business
internet into my software so what they
have done
they have integrated this its into their
software
previously it was only application
server
now if you install sap R3 4.7 Enterprise
Edition extension set one one zero
you will get application server as well
as the its server integrated into one
software
by having its
it will support internet you can connect
it directly to the server previously
there is no internet service in this
you used to install its server
separately
but now
that internet is integrated into your
sap software if you install 4.7 you will
get a web package basis HR Logistics and
its server with that
so you can directly connect to your
sap server it was web application server
vas what is that vas the Technologies
changed from as2 was application server
now it is web
application
server
so it is application server previously
application servers above basis HR
Logistics right
after coming off its it is working as
web server also
it is working as web server as well as
application server that's why I used to
call the technology as vast technology
what is the kernel here 620 KML and 640
can if you have 620 kennel and 640
kennel the technology is called as vast
technology means that is not any more
only application server it is
application server as well as it is
supporting the web also so I am calling
it as web application server
so server is dedicated for a specific
task application server is dedicated for
a specific application server
application web application server is
dedicated for application as well as the
web it is giving
two activities here it is working as web
web server it is working as application
server the kernel is 620 and 640.
before that it was as now it is
web application server are you getting
what I am trying to say after that sap
has released sap R3 4.7 Enterprise
Edition extension set 200.
now what was changed here
the kernel is changed to 640.
the kernel change your above version
basis version change
along with that its they added some more
component called IGS what is this IGS
what is its actually internet
transactions transactions and internet
kind of thing right when internet is you
are supporting the internet this
internet is Rich I will have Rich
graphical pages
Java Pages Graphics right Rich pages
will have Rich kind of web pages
colorful pages
to support this all graphics
they need some graphic killer engine
that is nothing but ideal internet
graphical server
so there see observed here slowly sap is
moving towards the web kind of thing
purely it has only application server
after that they
convert as web application server now
even though in that web application
server they are supporting more Graphics
into that internet
so slowly the sap software is moving
towards the web kind of thing right they
started supporting web first then they
are started supporting Rich graphical
Pages which are related to your internet
the Java is full of Internet is nothing
but your Java the rest your Rich HTML
Pages or Java pages right so they are
slowly converting into your web kind of
thing web
the kernel is 640 here
after that in the year of 2000
4 this is 2003. in the year of 2004 they
released sap ECC 5.0 and remember
that was the last product of sap under
R3 tag they used to have sap R3 R3 R3
but
from ECC 500 words they left out that R3
why
is the en 2004
by 2004 all other companies are started
using R3 technology prior to that
everyone is an R2 only sap is an R3
that's why sap is proudly saying that I
am using R3 that's why what are the
product sap has they used to write sap
R3 R3 means a Wonder at that time how
now uh in memory database is a wonder
the new technology at those times 2000
2001 2002 that time R3 technology is a
hard kick the newest technology
but from 2400 now everybody is using R3
then what is the specialty in having R3
name
right so the sap left that R3 tank and
they started releasing sap ECC 5.0 here
I've just
some changes happened in your platform
a map is there
basis is there
HR and Logistics what is the version of
HR and Logistics here
Erp software what are the components
related to your Erp business HR and
Logistics that version is 500 so the
software component name is ECC 5.0
okay what is app you know what is Basis
you know
but where from where this BIW came into
the picture
till now whatever the softwares you have
the technical platforms are what about
abap and based are technical things
above and bases are technical things but
from ECC 5.0 onwards the technical power
platforms are above basis and BW if you
take any of the sap software above basis
BW is magnitude
along with that if you have HR and
Logistics that is a Erp component if you
don't have hrn Logistics that is a non
Erp corporate you got
then what is this baw well this is
integrated into this sap software as a
mandatory platform kind of things
we discussed from 2011 99 2000 period
onwards the entire world is moved
towards the internet
in e-marketing right so everybody
started uh Marketing in your Amazon and
Flipkart everybody is selling using this
online shopping kind of thing started
prior to that if you have a business
who is the uh you need to be smart
ER than your opponent shop
right no one is complicated for you only
the shop vendors who are in your street
only you need to be smart enough than
that people okay if you have a marwadi
shop against you opposite to you just
you need to be smart enough then that
marwadi to run your business smartly
right but after coming of Internet
everybody from every corner is putting
their products into the market and they
are giving some offers and they are
marketing
everybody will have their own marketing
strategies after coming off internet
what happens e-marketing
anyone can sell anything on Amazon you
can sell anything right you can you can
sell
so everybody is a competitor for you not
only the opposite shop vendor
so the analysis of business is increased
your data warehousing there is a new
technology called Data warehousing what
is the meaning of data warehousing
anyone
did we discuss that data warehousing
thing
AP database yeah at the starting we
discussed that oltp database and ol AP
database so you have to analyze more
the item from you
if something goes bad he'll come to you
directly but after coming up this
e-marketing what happens
he'll write a review on Amazon somebody
will write a review on Flipkart somebody
will write a review on your Twitter page
your Facebook page
so you have to consider all these user
reviews
right to take a decision to increase
your products productivity efficiency
you have to consider all the reviews
from online sources also so you have to
analyze your business mode why now
Chinese is also competitor for you us
people are competitor for you everybody
is selling online
on a single platform everybody is
selling so you have to Smart the smarter
than everyone so you have to analyze
your business more analysis of your
business is increased now
so it is mandatory to have a BW system
in your system in your landscape SAP BW
system data warehousing system by using
that system you can take the reports if
if you don't know that what is BW system
we'll discuss tomorrow okay I'll discuss
what is eiep what is BW everything
tomorrow so you have to analyze that
system
for that from your system you have to
move your data to that BW system that VW
system is upgrade system data
warehousing system from every system you
have to send your business data to that
system to send the data
unique way you need some supporting
drivers in your software
that's why you got a BIW here this BIW
business intelligence Warehouse after
that it is renewed as BW business
Warehouse
why this is there in every sap software
means from each and every software you
have to move the data from the this
place to that place
to send that you need some supporting
drivers this is not core BW software
remember BW software is separate
software only if you have this blews
content here you can move the data from
this system to that BW system
go to the point
to to do the analysis of your business
all your business for example you have
so many systems 15 systems in your
landscape from all the systems you need
to send the data to that BW system to
send the data your systems need to be
supported
that supporting software you'll have in
this so from ECC
5.01 words
by default as a technology platform you
are getting above package basis package
in the BIW package
and along with that if you have HR and
Logistics that is a Erp if you don't
have HR and Logistics that is not a Erp
now is it a Erp software or a non Erp
software how about basis baw HR and
Logistics
[Music]
after that sap has released sap ECC 6.0
in the year of 2004 ecc5 in the year of
2005 ecc-6 each and every year one new
software 2001 software 2001 one software
2002 one software three four five each
and every year sap is releasing a new
Erp software into the market
the ECC 6.0 is released now the channel
is changing here in HCC file there is no
change in the kernel six same old 640
whatever you have in say before points
seven extensions at 200 640 now also 640
but from ECC 6.1 onwards the kernel is
changed to 700.
and above basis that a BIW is renamed as
BW business intelligent Warehouse to
business Warehouse so these three is
mandatory right technology platform a
web basis BW mandatory and your HR and
Logistics are 600 that's why the version
the Erp name is ECC 6.0
[Music]
the real big fist started here
