2.0 out of 5 stars Ho-Hum, October 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Basis Administration for SAP (SAP R/3) (Hardcover)

Same old topics from other SAP books and documentation covered again in light fashion. Touches on most Basis topics but does not go in-depth on any of them. The Oracle portion was verbose but extremely weak in detail, not to mention it was seriously outdated and straight from old SAP documents that are no longer used.

If you've taken the SAP courses or have access to the SAP online doc, you don't need this book

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks, May 17, 2002

Chuck Fryes (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Basis Administration for SAP (SAP R/3) (Hardcover)

I don't usually leave comments on books I've purchased through Amazon or anywhere else, but I felt compelled to do so on this one. Not only did I gain a good understanding of SAP Basis Administration, but the first hand knowledge shared from the author who's been there - done that, was very helpful. The hints and tips gained from this book will go into my own personal "cookbook" for sure. Nice work, for once I feel like I got my money's worth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the book!, April 19, 2002

William Styles (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Basis Administration for SAP (SAP R/3) (Hardcover)

I've been doing Basis Admin work for over 5 years now, and thought I knew just about all there was too know about it. This book showed me some hints and tips I never even thought of, and you can bet I'll use them in my job. Finally, a book written by someone who's been there and done it, and not by a professional writer who's never even touched SAP. Good work Robert!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book
The book is good. It's based mainly on UNIX and Oracle. You can only use a quarter of the book if you are using NT/SQL.
