Who will be the system admin for SAP BO: Basis or BO admin?

[Former Member]

Hi All ,

I am trying to find out the which team will be responsible for managing the SAP BO systems. Is it the Basis team or BO team?

Customers who are going for new BO implementation, dont have any BO system admin resources!

If any one has any idea on this ..please share.

Thanks,

Srikar

Well the best practice here is to have at least two (since two is safer than one) dedicated BO administrators.Depending on the size of your BOBJ environment and the usage pattern of the system you may want to have 100% or part-time BO admins.

I know of some cases where persons of the SAP Basis team took over this task. This makes sense especially if you are using BO for SAP BW reporting exclusively and you setup the SAP BW as the authenticating principal.

If you are planning to use BO in a heterogeneous environment though a dedicated BOBJ team maybe a better choice.

Thanks for the reply. This helps.

So it sounds like.. SAO BO administration will be another topping for basis.

Srikar,

We do have similar kind of debate and we finally decided distributed our responsibilities as below. This may or May not be applicable to your scenarion, but this is being agreed by Both the teams (BO & BASIS) in our environment.

Team	Activity
BO Administrator	Monitoring servers
	Incident resolution
	Scan / Repair and Compact to all repository errors
	Regular BO repository Maintenance like Cleaning Orphaned Connection/Universe
	Manage Web Server and SIA
	Start/Stop Server Intelligent Agent (SIA) and associated servers
	BIAR Backup
BASIS Administrator	CMS & Audit Database Backup
	File Repository Backup
	Local audit log files backup
	Custom SDK applications/code backup
	Database Connections (ODBC DSNs) backup

Hope this could help you.

Regards,
