The Basis Engineer's checklist

Automation engine
Building on feedback from our customers, the Avantra automation engine allows reusable, repeatable and composable workflows. These can be parameterized and rolled out across all systems, or reused for repeated activities. The Avantra automation engine is a powerful feature that prevents you from having to rebuild everything each time you need to create an automation.
Start/stop management
The Avantra platform provides start/stop management allowing you to turn on/off your own sandbox or Dev systems. You can pass control from Basis to the business, allowing you to automate the remote management of your systems. And with the deep cloud integration, you can control entire systems on your cloud of choice. This frees you and your juniors from this repetitive task.

SAP Kernel upgrade
SAP Kernel upgrades are a repeatable task that need to be carried out to patch security vulnerabilities, fix bugs, or support other initiatives.
Although simple to do, these upgrades are time consuming (across multiple systems) and need to be repeated across the landscape (Dev, then Test and Production). This makes them ideal for automations – something easily achievable with Avantra.

System refresh
For Avantra Enterprise users, system refresh capabilities are here! The need to copy one system to another is quite common, with the Avantra system refresh you can:
- Perform a refresh of Production to QA to get realistic data to test your new release
- Create a new sandbox system as a copy of QA in order to try out a new product or configuration

Observe
Know what's in your SAP estate at any moment. Use ML-based predictive analytics to get a clear view of anomalous configuration and runtime issues, such as security hardening, and system overloads.

Engage
Automating engagement with people and systems in the most efficient way at the right time, with minimal time wasting false positives.

Act
Automating daily activities to drive quality, speed and consistency to reduce manual effort, using automation templates or innovation.
