SAP Solution: Java

SAP's cryptic programming language Abap is not a protective wall against cyber attacks. The Abap code is well documented and other entry points exist. SAP systems are at risk just like other IT systems.

SAP has also commented on the so-called Log4j vulnerability on the support page reserved for existing customers.

Store operators need reliable and secure IT solutions. The combination of SAP Commerce and open source business hosting meets this requirement and also offers added cost-effectiveness.

There were rumors. But a conversation with Andreas Oczko last fall brought certainty: no matter what the cost, SAP has had to postpone the 2025 end date. The domino effect is neither controllable nor calculable.

SAP has publicly announced Business Suite 7 will remain in maintenance beyond 2025 - the deadline has been pushed back.

SAP has extended the maintenance of Business Suite 7 until 2030. At the same time, SAP published an update of service note 1648480, version 21 on February 4, 2020.

Completely out of the blue, SAP note 1648480 took SAP's existing customers by surprise. The core message of this note is the end of maintenance for the Abap and Java stacks of NetWeaver 7.5. What now?

There may be industries where repair service behavior and actionism can prevent major disasters, but in the SAP community, longevity and sustainability set the tone.

Oracle now offers a new generation of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, sometimes referred to as Gen 2 Cloud, which benefits SAP customers, too. The focus here is on the benefits of these IaaS services.

SAP partner Oracle thinks it is most likely that especially major SAP customers will continue to operate their Netweaver-based application systems even after 2025. An E-3 exclusive interview with Gerhard Kuppler, VP SAP Alliances, Oracle.

With the introduction of the Hana platform, it initially seemed as if Abap was dead for good. Despite a large fan community and continuously appearing language extensions, nobody wanted to bet on the sustainable survival of SAP's programming language just a year ago.

SAP customers are now able to use far-reaching best-class cloud services from Oracle flexibly, securely, with high performance and cost-effectively in mission-critical environments. In a comparison by Accenture and other analysts, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure achieved the best results.
