Summary :
SAP Note addresses common queries regarding SAP database users, logging processes, and password management, primarily within Oracle environments. Key points include the identification of default database users (SAPR3, SYSTEM, SYS, etc.), storage locations for user information in the Oracle dictionary, and methods for logging onto the database especially when the database is stopped, utilizing SYSDBA or SYSOPER privileges. It provides detailed steps for changing Oracle passwords using SQLPLUS and emphasizes the importance of aligning password changes in the Oracle system with the SAPUSER table to avoid disruption. Additionally, the note outlines special considerations for logging in without a password using the "CONNECT INTERNAL" mechanism and addresses issues related to OPS$ user connections.
