In order to provide individual SAP or non-SAP developments and to link them to your SAP ERP system, we provide you with the necessary SAP NetWeaver application servers. We offer the following services in this area:
SAP HANA base administrators can master the database in a way that wasn't possible back then. The SAP database is much more self-healing.

SAP Basis is responsible for the smooth operation of the SAP Basis system. The SAP Basis system is like an operating system for R/3 as well as S/4. Every operating system, such as Windows, provides an environment in which programs developed for that environment can run, such as MS Office. Likewise, the SAP Basis system provides an environment in which SAP programs can run. In any R/3 or S/4 system, there is a database server, such as HANA, where the database resides. It provides the necessary data to all other applications. The data here is not only data tables, but also applications, system control tables and user data.
Some useful tips about SAP basis can be found on www.sap-corner.de.
For these cases, you should take a closer look at the DBACOCKPIT transaction. This transaction provides you with many other database management features, an editor that allows you to easily execute your SQL queries against your SAP system.

STOR and SMSS must be cultivated in the S_ADMI_FCD permission object. SQL queries must maintain the database connection. To get the current status of a database connection, see the DBCONT table. Rights for calling the table(s) to be retrieved must be assigned. For more details, see the section "Further information on DBACOCKPIT" in this blog post.
With "Shortcut for SAP Systems" a tool is available that greatly facilitates some tasks in the SAP basis.
Once you have completed these steps, you will have the Fiori permissions you need to view individual tile catalogues on the launchpad.
So much information... how can you keep it so that you can find it again when you need it? Scribble Papers is a "note box" that makes this very easy.
This recommendation is general and does not apply only to the SAP basis.
