Course Overview
SAP S/4HANA is SAP's next-generation ERP suite built natively on SAP HANA. This comprehensive SAP S/4HANA Administration course equips you with deep expertise in planning, deploying, configuring, and managing SAP S/4HANA Private Edition landscapes across development, quality, and production environments.
The course covers system installation using Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM), post-installation configuration, landscape management, and the critical process of converting an existing SAP ECC system to S/4HANA using Software Update Manager (SUM) and ABAP Migration Cockpit. Special focus is given to the new Fiori-first user experience, including launchpad administration, business role configuration, and OData service management.
Advanced topics include Transport Management System (TMS) configuration and administration for multi-system landscapes, system monitoring with SAP Solution Manager and CCMS, and performance tuning at the S/4HANA application layer. You will also cover high availability setup, kernel upgrades, and support package management — everything an S/4HANA Basis administrator needs in a real enterprise environment.
