Following the evolving format of the #SAPSysArchs calls, the call will walk through the
"Call-Deck", which will be appended below in this blog.
The goal of the call as usual is to learn from peers through open common discussion and
solution sharing on contempary SAP system architecture challenges. Therefore, as ever
the aim is discussion rather than lecture.
Looking forward to all feedback and attendance.
Let's have some fun and fully understand how subject of SAP HANA Cloud Platform.
About #SAPSysArchs
Together we are all #SAPSysArchs, everybody in the SAP Business who is involved in SAP
System Architecture decisions.
A global peer group enabling sharing of discussions, questions, philosophies, throughts and
experiences.
#SAPSysArchs face many challenges including pressure of having to be the subject matter
expert, the final internal technical authority, and without always having access to support.
Where is the documentation, there is not enough architecture documentation around SCN
or SMP, we're lucky if a Master Guide gives some architectural insight.
Architect's don't blog, why ? Often blogging architecture solutions, philosophies, ideas, could
risk sharing company's secrets combined with pride of not wishing to be publicly challenged.
What to do ? #SAPSysArchs creates a peer group where on a monthly basis peers can have
an open discussion on a contempary subject, and compare thoughts.
Less a lecture and more a discussion, there are mountains of documentation on SCN, SMP,
TechEd, the #SAPSysArchs calls are primarily an opportunity for open peer discussion, where
attendees bring their challenges and throughts.
Real challenges faced by real people at real companies, rather than PowerPoint Presentations.
Good architectural design and decisions bring many benefits including:
Every company is different, running at different speeds with different budgetary and business
pressures.
What is the best architectural decision for one company, may not for a variety of reasons be the
best architectural decision for another.
However, enabling #SAPSysArchs to share and compare in peer discussions will benefit all.
The New SCN SAP NetWeaver Architecture Category - An Introduction
One possible scenario could be that a customer runs his SAP Netweaver AS ABAP installations on SAP HEC and has a VPN connection (using SAP Cloud Connector, more about this later) to SAP HCP in order to extend ABAP applications.
"The box <Development>/<Operations> seems to address the DevOps approach (probably also because of the microservices approach). Does it mean, that organizations introducing SAP HANA Cloud Platform have to think about changing their team structure according to this?"

Question 3: "If SAP HCP provides OData provisioning capabilities with SAP HANA Cloud Integration, could it be that we do not need the SAP Frontend Server (SAP Gateway Hub on premise) any more?"
Questions |
---|
Is the connection also possible via a MPLS connection? Or is the use of SAP HANA Cloud Connector a must? |
Based on experiences the customers are often afraid of connecting to the outside world. What is being done in order to ensure a secure connection process and communication flow? |
What about customers who aren't allowed to use cloud services from a legal perspective? Are there any alternatives? |
Questions |
---|
What do customers have to consider before introduction of SAP HANA Cloud Platform into their landscape? Is there a roadmap or best practice? |
How mature is the operations process for SAP HCP for customers? |
s there a change mgmt like there is on ABAP? Are there any lifecycle management tools available on SAP HCP and how are they connected to SAP Solution Manager (on-premise)? |
How does the role of Basis guys change? And what knowledge should they aquire? |
How does SAP see the DevOps? |
How is the change and transport management being handled, especially when on-premise artifacts have to get synchronized into production at the same time when SAP HCP artifacts are transported? |
For a three tier landscape (development, test, production) do customers have to have three SAP HCP accounts or how is this being realized? |
How does the System Landscape Directory customers already have for SAP SolMan, SAP PO and so on fit into this? |
What has a customer to adapt from an organizational perspective in order to be able to deal with the fact that SAP updates SAP HCP in the cloud (not driven and managed by the customer)? |
