Information about BASIS

Basis system administrators monitor the load balancing and performance of the system. They are also responsible for Basis services such as starting and stopping a system.

The tasks are:

Load balancing administration

Instance administration

Performance analysis

System configuration

Basis services such as starting and stopping a system and its servers

i personally feel, understanding the System Architecture is more important for BASIS. for this you can refer any SAP Guides which are available @ Service MarketPlace.

to start as BASIS administrator, it is always better to learn step by step..as follows.

starting & stopping of SAP instances..

1) User administration-> creation of new users, giving necessary authorizations (roles & profiles), creating new roles as & when required.

2) Transport managment-> understanding what is a change request, how to tranport a TR from 1 system to another, creation of new tranport profiles.

3) general monitoring of work processes etc..

4) importing support packs etc..

5) kernel upgrades..

6) sAp installations..

i am sure if u start learning in this direction, you will a good understanding over SAP as BASIS administrator.

Thanks
