Hi everyone!
Every cloud has a silver lining, and the Cloud Availability Center is just one of SAP's! Read below to find out more about the Cloud Availability Center (CAC), its benefits, and how to access the tool.
What is the Cloud Availability Center?
The Cloud Availability Center is a Next-Generation support tool that offers you a personalized dashboard view of the status or availability of your SAP Cloud products, without searching multiple screens!
It gives detailed performance information for your selected tenant, including past and future events, notifications, and the communicated availability, and provides you with up-to-date status on incidents - for example service disruptions/ interruptions/ degradation/ maintenance occurring with your products.
You can also access timely updates during unplanned service downtime situations and an overview of upcoming maintenance events to better plan daily business activities.
How do I access the Cloud Availability Center?
Your S-user personalization in the SAP ONE Support Launchpad gives you a view of your products, the data centers, URLs, and tenants they reside on.
Your S-user ID will need either of the authorization(s);
