System administrators may find the following transactions useful. Although many of the
transactions are not discussed in this guidebook, we are listing them for your convenience.
Many of these transactions are for more advanced functions than targeted in the scope of
this guidebook.

The following are definitions of several column headers.
< Dangerous
These transactions are potentially damaging or fatal to the system if executed
incorrectly.
As a general rule, most of the Basis transactions are potentially damaging. Access to
these transactions should be restricted in all systems. Access to some of these
transactions should be even further restricted in the production system.
< Performance Impact
These transactions could have a potentially adverse impact to system performance if
executed. Traces and table display are the transactions of concern here.
The problem with a table display occurs when the query does a full table scan for
data. When done on a large table, this query has serious impact on performance because
the system searches every record in the table to find those that meet the search criteria.
