In order to make a transaction in cryptocurrencies, you do not have to let your bank know about it as you would for "normal" money, but you have to use the Private Key to prove that you own the coins. The transaction looks like a piece of the puzzle. Half of the puzzle piece consists of information about the coin set, time and public address of the sender or receiver. The other half is the signature of the private key belonging to the sent public address. Both halves make this piece unique. Changing only one piece of information would completely change the whole transaction or the appearance of the puzzle piece. This transaction is transferred to the network or to the miner and is checked for correctness first. If everything fits, the transaction will be sent to other miners who will do the same. Otherwise, the transaction is ignored. Miners try to integrate the transactions into a block. This is called mining and we have described it so that the miners put the puzzle pieces together into a puzzle (block). A small part of a block to be integrated follows from the block that was previously mined. If all miners accept the correctness of a completed block, they will all work the next one immediately. The puzzle (block) is fixed and is irrevocably connected to the block before or after. The blocks form a chain and are called blockchain, which contains all the transactions that have ever been made and is visible and unchangeable by everyone. In doing so, blockchain replaces a central institution and avoids double-spending, which ultimately gives value to a cryptocurrency. Smart Contracts The biggest advance compared to Bitcoin and similar applications is that second-generation blockchains, such as Ethereum, use the so-called Turing-Complete script language Solidity. This enables calculations to be made within the blockchain. While Bitcoin allows only rudimentary multi-signature functions, Ethereum opens the door to much more complex operations called smart contracts. Smart contracts are contracts in which a decentralised blockchain ensures their unchangeability and execution.
To evaluate the log files, please use transaction RSAU_READ_LOG. If you archive the security audit log files you can read them using transaction RSAU_READ_ARC.
SAP Basis Support & Monitoring
In this case, the term stands for the basic administration of SAP systems. In this context, responsible employees perform a number of classic tasks.
SAP Basis is the foundation of any SAP system. You can find a lot of useful information about it on this page: www.sap-corner.de.
A BW system often plays a very central role in larger companies. Here the data from the various connected source systems are analysed and reported centrally. A previous customer of mine had a BW system, to which a total of over 20 other SAPP production systems were connected. With such a large and mostly living system landscape, it is normal that individual systems are dismantled from time to time. However, especially with large SAP landscapes, there are strict regulations regarding the permissions of technical RFC users. For this reason, the simple "right-click —> delete" of a source system in RSA1 will often not lead to the target, but rather to a failed permission check. With this blog post, I'll show you a workaround on how to clean a source system from a BW system using the RSAR_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_DELETE and RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT function blocks.
With "Shortcut for SAP Systems" a tool is available that greatly facilitates some tasks in the SAP basis.
The text file in it can be loaded into the Note Assistant with the SNOTE transaction via the Note upload.
A note box in which data of all kinds can be quickly filed and retrieved. This is what Scribble Papers promises. At first, the program looks very spartan. But once a small structure is in place, you realise the great flexibility of this little helper.
Another would be to grant the jump permission in debugging (S_DEVELOP permission object with the ACTVT = 02 field).
