&edit_sap: audit? restrict?

[former_member323486]

Truly gurus,

Been a basis dude for 10 years and I just learned of this malignant function, which can wreak havoc on SAP's integrity. (since I am also the DBA the concern is tenfold)

I'm talking about &edit_sap and I ask you to please advise me on:

* ways to restrict , or block, this function.

* ways to audit its usage, if possible.

While we're at it, please reveal similarly damaging functions.

Thanks & best regards all,

Claudio

Hi Claudio,

&SAP_EDIT functionality users can update tables even with SE16N (SAP has removed this

function with note 1420281.).  Implement this note to deactivate that function.

1420281 - CO-OM tools: SE16N: Deactivating &SAP_EDIT

In Production system you should not have ability to update tables
