Course Overview
SAP BASIS (Business Application Software Integrated Solution) is the technical foundation that underlies every SAP application — from classic ECC landscapes to modern S/4HANA systems. SAP BASIS Administrators are the backbone of every SAP operation, responsible for keeping the entire SAP landscape running securely, efficiently, and reliably. This makes SAP BASIS one of the most consistently in-demand SAP skills in the market.
This comprehensive SAP BASIS Administration course takes you from zero to job-ready in 8–10 intensive weeks. You will learn SAP system architecture, installation of ABAP and Java stacks, client and user management, transport management system (TMS) configuration, system monitoring using CCMS and SAP Solution Manager, backup and restore procedures, and critical performance tuning techniques.
The course covers both SAP NetWeaver BASIS (ECC) and S/4HANA BASIS, reflecting the reality that most enterprise landscapes include both legacy and next-gen SAP systems. Advanced topics include kernel upgrades, support package management using SPAM/SAINT and SUM, system copy operations, and an introduction to BASIS for SAP HANA. Every concept is reinforced with real-world lab exercises on live SAP systems.
