SAP Admin Module

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

The SAP Admin module is an SAP application that helps SAP administrators to manage their SAP license assignments.

The SAP Admin module is written in ABAP/4, and a development partner namespace is reserved from SAP AG. The SAP Admin module is installed directly on an SAP system and therefore does not require any external hardware or software. Dedicated R/3 tables are used for data storage. Thus, there cannot be any conflicts with SAP functions or company-specific developments.

Each SAP Admin module collects data from its dependent SAP systems. The collected data is stored in a staging database. The SAP Inventory Agent connects to the staging database and loads the data into the IT Asset Management database. The data can then be analyzed using the SAP features in the web interface of IT Asset Management.

You use the SAP Admin module to update the user primary records in the connected SAP systems (also called dependent SAP systems) according to the license-type optimization data the SAP Admin module receives from IT Asset Management. In addition, the SAP Admin module provides features for maintaining and cleaning up user primary data to optimize the quality of the user records (for example, the Logon Evaluation Report). This helps to improve the results of the license optimization. You can specify the relevant criteria on the SAP Admin module according to your organization's requirements.

If required, your implementation can contain several SAP Admin modules that are connected to IT Asset Management. Each SAP Admin module has its own set of dependent SAP systems.
