Why is it important to monitor changes of SAP System Parameters ?

One of the key elements of SAP Security that allows the assessment of the current state of an SAP system is the verification of security configuration for areas related to the broadly understood parameters included in BASIS and SAP. It is necessary to focus on a thorough analysis and diagnose the level of their security. It will also allow the organization to identify and eliminate possible imperfections in the system configuration. By detecting and eliminating these elements, each organization is prepared for cyclical security and financial statements audits taking place in companies based on the SAP system.

The previously mentioned security parameters are inclusive components of SAP System Profiles. They are responsible for determining or identifying how to run the instance and configure numerous variables that define how the SAP instance and the system will operate.

System parameters may define key settings for the whole?system on?which SAP runs, individual hosts systems (e.g. configuration for only one of many?application?servers) or the instances that are running on these servers. The majority of system parameters ensure that SAP operates effectively on the customer’s preferred hardware,?operating?system and database?platforms. System parameters also control how SAP operates and provides system wide control over some aspects of?Security.?

System parameters are set using?transaction?RZ10. To make the parameters globally effective set them in the?default?profile,DEFAULT.PFL. To make them instance-specific, you must set them in the profiles of each?application?server in your R/3 System. System parameters can be reviewed with?transaction?TU02 or from the standard SAP report RSPARAM using?transaction?SA38. Some important security related SAP System Parameters can be seen below :?

It is very important to monitor changes to SAP System Parameters and create alerts if a system parameter is assigned a value which can lead to security problems in the system.
