Bringing this book to you has been an all-hands-on-deck experience. For everyone—
from the SAP team who wrote every word in less than a month and a half, to the
copyeditor who reviewed the book in less than a week, to my own five-day editing
spree—creating the best book we can has been of the highest priority.

What does it mean for a book to be a practical guide? For us, it means that our readers
should walk away knowing exactly how to perform their daily (and weekly and
monthly and yearly) tasks. While you’ll still get an understanding of the underlying
concepts (e.g., what on earth are branches, and how do they work?), our focus is on the
how to and not just the what.
Our expert authors, Steve Christian, Michael Pytel, Jereme Swobada, and Nathan Wil-
liams, are the perfect team to accomplish this task. With decades of SAP experience
between them, these guys know their stuff. Whether you’re looking to upgrade to 7.2
(Chapter 3!), want to know everything there is to know about change control manage-
ment (our massive Chapter 8), or know that your testing processes could be just that
much better (Chapter 12), you’ll find everything you need between these pages.
What did you think about SAP Solution Manager—Practical Guide? Your comments and
suggestions are the most useful tools to help us make our books the best they can be.

Project management entails wearing a number of hats—collaborator, organizer, mes-
sage carrier, problem-solver, teacher, deadline enforcer.
Take publishing. Managing the publication of a single book requires close collaboration
with the author team to write the book, the production department to create the book,
and the marketing department to promote the book. Deadlines, writing distribution,
check-ins—all must be organized to ensure the book arrives on schedule. As a go-
between for the various collaborators, the project manager must field, answer, and
relay questions. When the manuscript deadline is approaching, you know whose
emails will fill up your inbox with increasing urgency and guidance.
Managing an SAP S/4HANA project may involve several of these same overarching
roles, but it certainly requires a different scope, team, toolbox, and most important,
methodology. If you’re implementing SAP S/4HANA, then your best project manage-
ment path runs right through SAP Activate. This book provides the detailed guidance
you need for each phase of the process—and helps you try on all the project manage-
ment hats for size.

Whether you are new to SAP system management or want to obtain fur
ther qualifications, you will benefit from the wealth of practical experi
ence and first-hand information contained in this book. With this book,
SAP also endeavors to help prepare you for qualification as “Certified
Technical Consultant.” Please note, however: Books can’t replace — nor
do they attempt to — personal experience gained from working with the
various SAP solutions! Rather, the authors offer suggestions to help in
your day-to-day work with the software.

Business success depends more and more on the contribution of information tech
nology (IT). In many enterprises, IT no longer assumes a sole support function but
forms an integral part of the business processes. The deep integration of processes
and the availability of real-time information in core processes are only possible
with a powerful IT architecture.
Due to this close connection with the core business, the availability of IT support
assumes a business-critical role today. IT needs to be reliable — 365 days, 24/7,
worldwide — in a lot of enterprises. This requires the IT processes and the sup
port processes and organization to be consistently oriented toward the business
processes, as well as an efficient management of the IT services.

Why would someone with Michael’s experience and insight give
away his knowledge, almost for free? You’ll find the answer in sev-
eral chapters throughout this book: Being successful in as complex
and life-long a venture as an SAP implementation requires some
company. You’ll need a network: partners, advisors, mentors. Suc
cess with SAP is about sharing. And this is what he does.

Ever since SAP HANA was first announced in 2010, I looked forward to the book
that SAP PRESS would publish on it. However, finding authors suitable for such a
new, cutting edge, and sometimes-controversial topic is not an easy task. You need
people with true experience, objectivity, a sense of what information people really
want to know, and the voice to effectively share it. This is hard to find, especially
for a topic like SAP HANA.
Enter Dr. Berg and Penny Silvia. I had the pleasure of working with these fine authors
for an intensive period of writing, rewriting, updating—and then a little more rewriting.
The goal: To provide the most up-to-date and down-to-earth SAP HANA book out
there. It took them late nights and, I’d venture to guess, many a cup of coffee—but
I think you’ll agree that the goal has been accomplished.

When we sign a first-time author team, it’s pretty much impossible to know what to
expect. To my absolute pleasure, I became a very lucky editor when Tony and Alisdair’s
project landed on my desk. Not only did they provide me first-rate information on
managing custom code, they patiently put up with any and all editorial input and
fielded many phone calls (8:30 a.m. my time, up until midnight their time!). Even as
they discovered that there was more involved in writing a book than self-proclaimed
“mere SAP code guys” could anticipate, their attention to detail and enthusiasm was
contagious, which is often half of the battle.
With such conversations and many ideas being passed back and forth, the book you
now hold in your hands has evolved and solidified. I’m confident that this book is
just the thing to get your system running more smoothly, just by the management of
your custom code. Have only a few hundred instances of custom code? Have a few
hundred thousand instances? Not to worry—with this book, you’ll find a practical,
easy to understand resource to all the tools you’ll need, no matter the size or extent
of your system.

While I could extol Nathan’s virtues for a while, I’m sure you want to hear some
thing about this book that you hold in your hands (or are viewing on your screen).
Don’t be fooled by the serene cover; behind the smoothly sailing ship lies a treasure
chest of information that’s worthy of the most fearsome IT pirate. Not only will you
find all of the information you need to know about what IT Service Management is
and does, you’ll also find a detailed, step-by-step configuration guide to two essen
tial tools: Application Incident Management and Change Request Management. If
you’ve been searching for a product that gets you through the jargon around SAP
Solution Manager and into the meat of what you need to know, then you’ve come
to the right place.

Each book in the series is written in a friendly, easy-to-follow style that guides you
through the intricacies of the software and its core components. Beginning with
this book, “Discover SAP,” you’ll find a detailed overview of the core components
of SAP, what they are, how they can benefit your company, and the technology re
quirements and costs of implementation. Once you have a foundational knowledge
of SAP, you can explore the other books in the series covering CRM, Financials,
HCM, BusinessObjects, and more. In these books you’ll delve into the fundamental
business concepts and principles behind the tool, discover why it’s important for
your business, and evaluate the technology and implementation costs for each.
Whether you are a decision maker who needs to determine if SAP is the right en
terprise solution for your company, you are just starting to work in a firm that uses
SAP, or you’re already familiar with SAP but need to learn about a specific compo
nent, you are sure to find what you need in the Discover SAP series. Then when
you’re ready to implement SAP, you’ll find what you need in the SAP PRESS series
at www.sap-press.com.

This book has been written with these SAP CRM-specific matters in mind. Aided by
years of experience and a sense of humor (which he claims is a must when working
with SAP CRM), Stephen Johannes has compiled years of personal experience and
countless hours of community research into a developer’s reference of the most
essential and useful information to use when working with the SAP CRM system.
I’m confident that the advice and direction he provides will help establish a more
consistent approach to developing SAP CRM.

“Therefore test, who wants to bind himself forever, Whether heart will find right
heart. The elation is short, the remorse is long.” It may seem a little over the top
to appeal to German dramatist and poet Friedrich Schiller as witness for a book on
software testing. However, the antagonism project teams are struggling with has
probably never been phrased more precisely than in the second verse of the cita
tion: Trapped in the notorious triangle of deadlines, costs, and quality, project leads
receive the final bill only when the solution has gone live.
If you tested whether the new solution really does what it is supposed to do, which
side-effects it has on other functionalities, and whether its performance complies
with the end-users’ expectations before go-live, then good for you! For your testing
projects, SAP equips you with a rich set of powerful tools, and by reading this book
you get to know them all.

However, the motto that the authors chose for the introduction to this book, “There
is nothing so stable as change,” is very applicable to SAP product development
and to the customer demand for new technology. Over the last two years, SAP has
heavily invested in their strategy and tools for Business Process Management. Along
with SAP NetWeaver BPM and SAP NetWeaver Business Rules Management, BRF
plus became one of the hottest new components that shipped with the latest SAP
NetWeaver releases. I am very pleased that we are now able to provide you with
the complete technical reference to BRFplus, just in time for the release of its new
version in Application Server 7.02.
