• Investigate and resolve production issues related to ABAP programs, batch jobs, interfaces, and system performance.
• Perform root cause analysis (RCA) and implement permanent fixes to prevent recurrence.

• Handle end‑to‑end IDoc troubleshooting – inbound and outbound processing.
• Diagnose and resolve IDoc errors in WE02, WE05, BD87, and related transactions.
• Manage partner profiles, message types, process codes, and port configurations.
• Support EDI/ALE interface issues and coordinate with middleware/integration teams where applicable.
• Develop and maintain custom IDoc extensions and processing function modules.

Database & Platform Support

• Work across Oracle and SQL Server database environments to support ABAP programs with native SQL, Open SQL, and database‑specific tuning.
• Assist in identifying and resolving database‑level performance issues impacting ABAP programs.
• Support technical activities during database platform transitions (Oracle → SQL Server).
• Collaborate with DBAs on query optimization, table buffering, and index analysis.

OS‑Level Collaboration (Linux/Unix)

• Coordinate with infrastructure teams on Linux and Unix environments for job scheduling, file transfers, and system‑level troubleshooting.
• Understand shell scripting basics to support file‑based interface debugging.
• Assist in resolving OS‑level issues that impact SAP batch jobs and background processing.

Support Operations

• Manage and prioritize tickets through the ITSM/ticketing system (ServiceNow, Remedy, or equivalent).
• Adhere to SLA commitments for incident, problem, and change management.
• Participate in on‑call rotations and provide support during critical business periods.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including functional specs, technical specs, and runbooks.
• Communicate clearly and proactively with business stakeholders and functional teams on issue status and resolution timelines.

Job Requirements

• Minimum 8-10 years of SAP ABAP experience in ECC support environments.
