There is a great many things missing here. SPAM... I guess you do not need that any more.
Perhaps the publishers wanted a book for managers.
Anyway, if you are considering this, get the 2nd edition... or buy one of the many that are used, as I expect there will be many BASIS admins selling this back the day after they purchase it.
Sorry... I was hoping for an updated version of Edition 2.
The subtitle of the book is 'Essential Skills for SAP Technical Consultants.' It appears to be aimed at the individual who is trying to decide what SAP can do for them. It's much less concerned with the detail of how to do it.
I found this to be of great help, as SAP is a huge software system. It has perhaps a thousand components (does anyone really know) from various vendors that can be tied together to handle most ERP problems. If you're going to use SAP, just which of all these components are you going to pull together to solve your particular set of problems.
After you know what you're trying to do, then there are other books and manuals that will give you the details about how to do it. So if at this point you are wondering just what is the difference between SAP R/3, and mySAP.com, and SAP Web Application Server, and SAP NetWeaver, this is the place to start. All in all, it's good to see such a book. I hope this is a trend getting started and that we can see other books coming on other big software packages that's more aimed at what can be done.
But that's not hard to get. So, the value of this book is really up to you. The knowledge is there. Very clear.
In his second Edition of what has become a standard R/3 text for many SAP R/3 Basis Consultants, José Hernandez has updated terminology to suit versions up to 4.6 including the new features offered by the later versions. Although the bulk of the text covers the Basis R/3 system one of the most notable changes is the inclusion of Windows NT. Some of the new R/3 features covered are the Profile Generator, the new Object-based monitoring system, ASAP and the Transport Management System (TMS).
The first 5 chapters of the book cover the conceptual overview of the R/3 product including general product information, the software as a client-server system, in-memory and disk usage architecture, installation concepts, and some essential "using" information. Chapters 6 onwards, including the appendices each describe an R/3 topic in detail. A complete Table of Contents is likely to be available on many on-line book stores.
Typical of the material offered in the second edition is the excellent coverage of The SAP Printing System. The chapter covers a conceptual overview describing the Spooler's place in the architecture, its relationship to the operating system, how to set up additional spoolers, using the spooler and the various objects which contribute towards the printing system. José then traverses each of the screens and menu options associated with setting up printer devices, front end printing (SAPLPD), Temse, Fax and administration tasks . When describing how to set up a printer device, each field on each screen is described. Dropdown options are each described in detail. The chapter also includes many operational tips and examples.
Having used the first edition of R/3 Handbook for the past 2 years and being the primary text I used to pass the R/3 basis certification test, I obtained the second edition the moment it became available. I recommend it to anyone who needs a ready-to-hand comprehensive text for SAP R/3 Basis.
