SAP Hana 1.0 SPS12 Revision 122.27

However, SAP is currently still struggling with the different service packages for Hana 1 and 2. The SAP community has heard Christian Klein's message, but obviously lacks faith.

According to the DSAG summer survey, only 24 percent of members still have lasting confidence in SAP products and roadmaps. Software quality is declining: It is not only the service packages that are causing a lot of work for existing customers, but also the organization with regard to different revisions, which are now already in the three-digit range, see title.

In general, the numerous bug fixes and service packages are criticized by the Hana admins.

"So as long as SAP releases a new patch every six weeks and the recommendations for paramater settings change even more frequently ..."

SAP's response:

"Both updates and boot-through are customer decisions - the update frequency is entirely up to the customer. Most Hana parameters can be changed online - without rebooting."

Very amusing: Why does SAP release a patch with such regularity if not for customers to install it to fix recognized bugs that sometimes distort the results of calculations?

When the Hana admin escalates the problem to the support team in Walldorf, they say:

"Why don't you patch to the current state before we even look at it?"

Christian Klein promises in the E-3 interview on Hana:

"Now we are bringing in-memory technology to the cloud and working on an improved TCO. Real-time management of companies and integration are the added value of SAP for our customers."

That's true, but perhaps the numerous Hana versions, service packages and revisions should be consolidated first - a nice task for 2020!
