Introduction & Best Practices
Development guidelines
In earlier product generations, databases from various third-party providers were used - primarily Oracle and Microsoft SQL. However, this has changed with the introduction of the new database generation SAP HANA.
As we explained in SAP Basis, your SAP Basis administrator (or team) is directly responsible for keeping your SAP landscape healthy, online, and up-to-date. This includes:
Installation/upgrade of SAP systems based on HANA Platform
In every company with an SAP system, there is someone who is responsible for the SAP Basis. This person ensures the trouble-free operation of the SAP system. He or she accompanies maintenance work and intervenes in special situations, such as poor performance. Even for companies that hand over the operation of the basis to an external service provider, there are often still tasks from the user and authorization management environment at this point.
SAP Basis is the foundation of every SAP system. On this page you can find out what is behind the term and what SAP Basis is responsible for in detail.
For administrators, a useful product - "Shortcut for SAP Systems" - is available in the SAP basis area.
HANA is not a further development of SAP ERP, HANA is the next stage of an ERP system.

This possibility is particularly advantageous when it is a new topic and there is not yet a lot of know-how in the company.
