What is significance of Virtual system ?
The significance of Virtual system is that . Without VR all the request generated buy user will be local and local request cannot be impoted / tranported to other system .
so always create a VR system so that all the developemnt can be transported to the onther system . wnen u will create VR system u can c trasport at OS level cofile /data file .

sequence for archiving is:
1 Data declaration component

What is supplementation language?
Use the language supplementation function to fill in the gaps in a language that has not been translated completely.Supplementation actions are client-specific. The languages are supplemented in the client in which you are logged on.If you use multiple clients, you must supplement the languages explicitly in each production client.You can also access the texts stored in cross-client database tables from all clients simultaneously. The default setting specifies that cross-client tables are supplemented when you are logged on to client 000.

How to define Logon groups? And what is Logon load balancing?
Logon group are set using SMLG transaction.
Load blancing:
During the request message server check for the least loaded instance in the group and route the request to that instance.
If instead of logon group we specify the instance then the request is routed to that instance only. Means no load balancing occur in this case.

Dialog or batch process is blocked until import has ended in synchronous transport.
Dialog or batch process is released after import is started in asynchronous transport.
What is consolidation & delivery route ?
The route between development to quality is called
consolidation route.
The route between quality to production is called delivery route.
It is used to transport data dev-->qua-->prod.
How to know whether a system is Unicode or non Unicode?

in sm51 t-doe we can find the release notes button in the application tool bar if u click on that u can see the total information like database, os, kernal version and uniicode or non unicode.
How can we creat a Z authorization object and what the procedure and the T-code for the same?
Tcodes for Creating z authorisation onject - su20,su21.
su20 - create the authorisation field list.
su21 - Create a object class,include the added
authorisation object.select the tcode assignment and assign to the needed tcode.
Go to the User profile and add the object manually give the authorisation .
How can we creat a Z authorization object and what the procedure and the T-code for the same?
No, We cant do this because there will be some programs and tables which will get updated when applying support packages.
if some user is using that program or table then the support package manager will not be able to update and it will terminate with dump. So its better to apply support packs when there are no users login into system. Performance will
also be better if there are no users login into system.

What is the difference Between Role and Profile ?
Profiles are the component of the older SAP releases, this was not replaced in the newer versions but a new layer was placed above Profiles, Roles.
Profiles are therefore a subcomponent of Roles, they have a one to many relationship where when authorization objects overflow one profiles limit it will create a second profile for that Role and so on.
Roles are logically assigned to users to give the newer functionality of Roles (Menus etc), but profiles are assigned to give the authorizations.
What are homogeneous copy and heterogeneous copy and how you will do that? how to impot the OSS notes? What is OCS how to apply OCS patches? ABAP service pack level can found in SPAM, but how to find the java stack level?Homogeneous copy is done when the source and target system are on the same OS and Databse.
Heterogeneous Copy is done when the source and target system differ either in OS or Database. Any ONE difference needs a heterogeneous copy.
Homogenous copy is done by export/import technique.
Heterogenous copy is done by system migration. It is same as export/import except that it will ask for target OS and DB type and needs a key to be entered.
OSS notes are applied using T-code SNOTE.
Java stack level can be found at
http://hostname.domain.com/5
goto system info to find the java stack level.
Could you explain the transport steps procedure?
Go with t-code 'stms' then 'tranport overview'
then creat system either virtual or external for the quality system and production system, if developement is showing there then creat only qua & prod but if developement is not there, then go with client '000' and login with sap*, then 'stms' and creat from here all the three, and do according to the above procedure and after
making all three go through 'transport routs' then
configuration, & then three system in a group, now give the name of three group, and save it and activate it throughout the system.now transport management system is configured.
How you will do client copy? If SAP * user is not available at all in your system then how u will do client copy?
Just goto RZ04 and increase the number of background processes in the specified operation mode.We do a system copy using SCCL transaction.
If SAP* is not available, login at OS level as SIDADM and sqlplus /nolog connect /as sysdba;
delete sapsr3.usr02 where mandt='
bname='SAP*';
goto /usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile and change the default profile.
Add the parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar=0
0R
goto RZ10,select default profile and extended maintenance and change.
add the parameter ogin/no_automatic_user_sapstar=0
What is Domain controller & transport domain ?

What is the significance of ODS in BIW?
An ODS Object serves to store consolidated and debugged transaction data on a document level.It describes a consolidated dataset from one or more InfoSources. This dataset can be analyzed with a BEx Query or InfoSet Query.
The data of an ODS Object can be updated with a delta update into InfoCubes and/or other ODS Objects in the same system or across systems. In contrast to multi-dimensional data storage with InfoCubes, the data in ODS Objects is
stored in transparent, flat database tables.
What is Bex?
BEx (Business Explorer) is the reporting tool used to work with data in the BW database. BEx has a Web-based user interface and is made up of two components, the BEx browser and the BEx analyzer.
The BEx browser provides an organized interface where a user can access and work with any type of document assigned to them in the Business Information Warehouse, such as workbooks, links, and BW Web reports. The BW database itself is segmented into discrete data areas called
InfoCubes that are made up of data and associated metadata. The BEx analyzer allows the user to examine segmented data in a variety of useful combinations, for example when comparing financial data for different fiscal years.
Name some drawbacks of SAP?
There are many benefits to implementing an integrated solution such as SAP.
Commercial benefits would include having a single source for your financial information. Capturing your business transactions in one location allows you to easily review inventory, customer and vendor activity.
On the technical side, a solution on a single platform will enable easier maintenance and support, reducing costs.
Having a consolidated system means fewer interfaces to support. By having a single system of record your human resources will become familiar with terminology associated
with this data and the standard processes. This may improve communication and create a work force that is easier to transfer between roles.
Any drawbacks to such a solution would depend on the amount of restrictions you choose to place on your environment.
New business solutions may have to fit within the current system, technology must be compatible and human resources must adapt to handle data in certain standard processes.
What is WF and its importance?
Business Work Flow: Tool for automatic control and
execution of cross-application processes. This involves
coordinating the persons involved, the work steps required,
the data, which needs to be processed (business objects).

costs involved in managing business processes. Transparency
and quality are enhanced by its use.
