Your BASIS administrators will tell you that your SAP system is idling along with 10% system utilization and plenty of memory and few or no system locks. So why are your users complaining that their batch upload processes are taking so long or that that form is taking too long to respond?

The answer isn’t a simple one. There are many factors that influence overall system response time and the length of time it takes to complete a load. Here are a couple of areas that you should consider with respect to your environment and some areas you may want to discuss with your IT support teams to ensure Winshuttle users have an optimized experience.

Managing the consistency, accuracy, and timeliness of data in your SAP system is critical to keeping businesses running efficiently and profitably. However, moving critical information in and out of data-intensive SAP transactions is typically time consuming, costly, and error prone. Companies need a convenient, timely, manageable, and  maintainable data entry solution.

“Winshuttle TRANSACTION gives us the ability to do things we weren’t able to do before. We have significantly reduced our manual data entry costs, reduced headcount, and minimized the burden on IT.”

Winshuttle FORMS™ allows business users to create online forms to be used as a front-end for SAP processes. FORMS leverages secure web services created by Winshuttle STUDIO.

Unlike other solutions, FORMS allows non-technical users to securely create forms-driven processes on top of their existing SAP implementation. Winshuttle FORMS eliminates the programming, deployment, and cost typically  associated with forms. FORMS allows business users to author forms that can collaborate with suppliers, customers, and partners without requiring that they understand the detailed interaction associated with SAP, but still meet all the governance and security standards. As a result, companies can simultaneously enhance SAP end user experience while improving business efficiencies and increase their competitive edge.

Business users can easily automate business processes that include forms, such as maintenance requests, purchase requests, expense reimbursement requests and internal requisitions.

Winshuttle FORMS connects the structured transactional data stored within SAP and the unstructured,  document-based information and processes that reside within Web-based forms. This direct interaction enables companies to reduce operational costs and increase business process agility via automation and increased data accuracy.

This works if you have debug with changes access for object S_DEVELOP, but S_TABU_DIS is ignored as well as the system settings regarding changes. If you use this function for transaction, master data or other tables that cannot be changed with SM30, you can cause quiet some damage.  So, use with caution and this is NOT a Best Practice by all means, but to educate you on a little documented feature:
