Sap Developer Key Keygen
5/9/2019
SAP developers require two things before they can actually do development work in SAP - right authorizations and a developer access key. As with everything else in SAP, when a developer tries to execute a transaction, she will need the required authorizations in her profiles. In addition, she needs to be assigned a developer access key. The authorizations can be checked in the user master records while the developer access key can be checked using table DEVACCESS. Table DEVACCESS will show the user ID and the developer key assigned to the user ID. You should only expect to see name of developers in this table.
But what happens when the entry for a developer is deleted in the DEVACCESS table but the developer continues to use the same user ID? The answer is that the developer can still use the old developer access key.
The reason: Developer access key is nothing but an algorithm based on system number and SID and some other system values (SAP does not reveal the information). The developer access key is validated by SAP using a Kernel level C system program 'CHECK_DEVELOPER_KEY'. So, even if the developer access key has been deleted for a user ID in the DEVACCESS table, she can still use the same developer access key.
So the control should be to:
1. If the developer still works in the company and only the job role has changed, remove the developer authorizations in the user master records.
2. You may also want to assign a new user ID with the required access instead of using the existing user ID - just in case she gets the authorizations by mistake!
One more suggestion, turn on table logging for table DEVACCESS to review all the changes.
Which Table is the Developer Key Stored In
If you would like to look up at your developer key and save it and have it available for the next system refresh.
The table name is DEVACCESS and can be viewed with SE16 and SE11.
For new ABAP developer, you will be prompt for the developer if you are trying to create a program using the standard SAP naming convention.
Customer own created program should all start with a 'Y' or 'Z'.
