Summary: Great overall introduction to R/3 Basis
Review: I bought this book after taking the BC360 SAP Basis course. It does a great job treating the material on SAP R3 Basis administration. However my only beef with the text is that it fails to cover the majority of database and SAP administration issues and tasks ie: SAPDBA, SAP R3 database tuning etc. It also covers authorizations and user account maintenance very lightly. However, I will say that I wish I had read this book a week before the BC360 class since I would have been much better prepared. Great as an introduction for advanced R3 Basis get Schneider's Performance Optimization R3 book and Jose Hernandez R3 book.

Summary: Great overall introduction to R/3 Basis
Review: I currently support some some 2.2 and 3.x systems, and I bought this book looking for 4.x knowledge. To this end, it succeeds.However, there are many important parts of System Administration that are not covered, or that are barely touched on (i.e.Authorisation Administration, Backup and Recovery, Disk Management etc). Essentially, the book is written for someone who never (or rarely) exits the SAP GUI. Operating system and DBMS issues are not covered very deeply at all. I won't be using it as a BASIS reference book.

Summary: Great book to learn and to keep as a reference
Review: I passed the SAP Certification exam with the help of this book. All information you need as far as basic SAP Basis administration is simply explained in this book. Easy to read and very well organized. I wish I had that book at the beginning of my first SAP project. Also it is a great reference book for experienced Basis Admins. It just does not cover Change Management, Performance Tuning, Database Administration and User Administration in detail. I bought Sap R/3 Change and Transport Management : The Official Sap Guide (Official Sap Guide) and Sap R/3 Performance Tuning : The Official Sap Guide (Official Sap Guide). Good Luck! ...

Summary: Exceptional book, exceptional value!
Review: I purchased this book three weeks before going to the SAP BC360 Class (Unix/Oracle Technical Core Competence). This book covers Installation issues, Transports (TMS), Client Administration, the profile generator, Output, Data Archiving and System monitoring in detail. This book is so good that it is used in the SAP BC360 course. Each student was given a copy of this book and we used it as a reference. I strongly recommend this book for SAP R/3 Administrators.

Summary: A wonderful book to be used as a basic guide to Basis
Review: SAP R/3 Administration itself is a vast subject and it is really
foolish if one expects that a book will provide reference to every aspects of it.I have been working with SAP for the past 6 years and worked practically with all versions of the ERP. I find this book very handy as it tries to address the basics (4.x version) and has given structured and correct info. The author has not tried an impossible task of providing info about everything which eventually ends up in a mess . For a starter this book is a must .
