This category focuses on running SAP maintenance as a disciplined, zero-surprise practice. We cover monthly security notes, Support Package Stacks, kernel and HANA revision updates, as well as S/4HANA Feature Pack/Support Packs. You’ll find guidance on the Maintenance Planner, SUM/DMO, SPAM/SAINT, and Zero-Downtime Option (ZDO) to reduce business impact. We detail release calendars, change windows, and rollback strategies; ChaRM/CTS+ transport governance; and E2E monitoring with EarlyWatch Alerts and performance tuning.
Articles include checklists for pre-/post-maintenance, backups and DR drills, sandbox rehearsals, and automated regression testing (CBTA/eCATT) to protect critical processes. With lessons learned from Novis operating mission-critical SAP in cloud and hybrid environments, you’ll get practical playbooks to improve stability, shorten MTTR, and keep compliance intact—while optimizing effort and cost. Use this hub to standardize maintenance and free capacity for innovation.
