2) WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN LAND SCAPE? PLZ GIVE ME ANSWER
STEP BY STEP?

Landscape is like a server system or like a layout of the
servers or some may even call it the architecture of the
servers viz. SAP is divided into three different lanscape
DEV, QAS and PROD.

- DEV would have multiple clients for ex: 190- Sandbox,
100- Golden, 180- Unit Test.
- QAS may again have mutiple clients for ex: 300-
Integration Test, 700 to 710 Training.
- PROD may have something like a 200 Production.

These names and numbers are the implementer's discreet on
how they want it or they have been using in their previous
implementations or how is the client's business scenario.

Now whatever you do in the Sandbox doesn't affect the other
servers or clients. Whenever you think you are satisfied
with your configuration and you think you can use it moving
forward, you RE-DO it in the golden client (remember, this
is a very neat and clean client and you cannot use it for
rough usage). As you re-do everything that you had thought
was important and usable, you get a transport request pop
up upon saving everytime. You save it under a transport
request and give your description to it. Thus the
configuration is transported to the Unit Test client (180
in this example).

You don't run any transaction or even use the SAP Easy
Access screen on the 100 (golden) client. This is a
configuration only client. Now upon a successful tranport
by the Basis guy, you have all the configuration in the
Testing client, just as it is in the Golden client. The
configuration remains in sync between these two clients.

But in the Testing client you can not even access SPRO
(Display IMG) screen. It's a transaction only client where
you perform the unit test. Upon a satisfactory unit test,
you move the good configuration to the next SERVER (DEV).
The incorrect or unsatisfactory configuration is corrected
in Golden (may again as well be practised in the sandbox
prior to Golden) and accordingly transported back to 180
(Unit Test) until the unit test affected by that particular
config is satisfactory.

The Golden client remains the 'database' (if you wanna call
it that) or you may rather call it the 'ultimate' reference
client for all the good, complete and final configuration
that is being used in the implementation.

In summary:
Landscape : is the arrangement for the servers

IDES : is purely for education purpose and is NOT INCLUDED
in the landscape.

DEVELOPMENT ---> QUALITY ----> PRODUCTION

DEVELOPMENT : is where the the consultants do the
customization as per the company's requirement.

QUALITY : is where the core team members and other members
test the customization.

PRODUCTION : is where the live data of the company is
recorded.

A request will flow from Dev->Qual->Prod and not backwards.

1. Sandbox server: In the initial stages of any
implementation project, You are given a sandbox server
where you do all the configuration/customization as per the
companies business process.

2. Development Server: - Once the BBP gets signed off, the
configuration is done is development server and saved in
workbench requests, to be transported to Production server.

3. Production Server: This is the last/ most refined client
where the user will work after project GO LIVE. Any
changes/ new develpoment is done is development client and
the request is transported to production.

These three are landscape of any Company. They organised
their office in these three way. Developer develop their
program in Development server and then transport it to test
server. In testing server tester check/test the program and
then transport it to Production Server. Later it will
deploy to client from production server.

Presentaion Server- Where SAP GUI have.
Application Server - Where SAP Installed.
Database Server - Where Database installed.

Phase 1: Project Preparation - The purpose of this phase is to provide initial planning and preparation for your SAP project.

Phase 2: Business Blueprint - The purpose of this phase is to achieve a common understanding of how the company intends to run its business within the SAP System. The result is the Business Blueprint, a detailed documentation of the results gathered during requirements workshops. The Business Blueprint document represents the business process requirements of the company. It is the agreed statement of how the company intends to run its business within the SAP System.

Phase 3: Realization - The purpose of this phase is to implement all the business process requirements based on the Business Blueprint. The system configuration methodology is provided in two work packages: Baseline (major scope); and Final configuration (remaining scope).

Phase 4: Final Preparation - The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation (including testing, end user training, system management and cutover activities) to finalize your readiness to go live. The Final Preparation phase also serves to resolve all critical open issues. On successful completion of this phase, you are ready to run your business in your live SAP System.

Phase 5: Go Live & Support - The purpose of this phase is to move from a project-oriented, pre-production environment to live production operation.
