SIDADM alternative

[former_member217353]

Dear Experts,

we got a client(company) stuck with SAP IMPLEMENTATION from a year or above, now we are assigned for implementation  these guys have  SAP_ALL user, but no SIDADM access is there any means to get SIDADM access or its equivalent  ?  They have only an ERP System with ABAP+JAVA, Oracle 10g, Windows.

Hi,

You need SIDADM user on OS level and SAP*/DDIC users at SAP level.

If no one has SIDADM access and password - proceed as below by informing your client.

login as root and type "passwd  <SID>adm" to reset the password of SIDADM user.

If you don't have sidadm access, ask for "sudo su - sidadm" right on your OS account.

Use this user and there is nothing called a copy of sidadm.

Bit confusing because of MAX DB/DB2 but it worked for me on ORACLE

User Password are purely OS managed.
