How to Enable TLS v1.2 in SAP Netweaver ABAP

In this article we’ll go through the process of enabling TLS v1.2 in SAP Netweaver ABAP system. At the beginning I have to mention about CommonCryptoLib (CCL) which many years ago replaced the SAPCRYPTOLIB. The new SAP Cryptographic Library not only supports the use of digital signatures in SAP Systems, but also provides for encryption. The CCL is available in its latest version 8.5.x and is used by many SAP components. Some examples are:

SAP Host Agent,
SAP Instance Agent,
SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP,
SAP NetWeaver AS Java,
SAP HANA,
SAP Web Dispatcher,
etc.

Mass Changes of Jobs in ABAP environment

Today will be few words about useful program which can save your time. Imagine dozens or hundreds of jobs in the system where You need to make changes. I have in mind jobs in transaction SM37 and changes for example:

program/variant,
change user,
change execution server.

SAP Host Agent – update

Today will be a few words about how to update SAP Host Agent (I’ll be use shortcut: SHA). I’ll start with that SAP Host Agent is an agent that can accomplish several life-cycle management tasks, such as operating system monitoring, database monitoring, system instance control and provisioning, etc. Latest documentation to SHA You can find in this note.

SAP Web Disptacher – managing users

First of all I should mention what it is Web Disptacher and why we use it. SAP Web Dispatcher (WD) lies between the Internet/Intranet and Your SAP system. It is the entry point for HTTP(s) requests into Your system, which consists of one or more application servers. This tool can reject or accept connections and You can use it in both ABAP and Java systems.

SAP Netweaver – System Overview shows gray lights and Log Viewer displays error messages

You try see “System Overview” in SAP Netweaver in Availability and Performance tab. Unfortunately more metrics show gray lights – first of all You can see it in AS Java and Operating System area. Look at the picture below…

E-mail and SMS stuck in SOST

Sometimes You can observe situations where the mail job (SAPCONNECT INT SEND) is active and running, but SM37 show no processing when it finishes. The same situation is true for SMS job (SAPCONNECT PAG SEND). All e-mails/SMS remain on the queue with “Waiting” status. In job log You can find message text like “A send process is already running for PAG/prio High“.
