Run Operations for SAP-centric system and solution landscapes are typically embedded in the organizational and procedural models and practices of Customer Center of Expertise (CCOE) and therein the Operations Control Center (OCC). The latter is responsible for the two main processes of Run Operations scenario Detect-to-Correct: Event Management and Continuous Improvement. See the appendix for further documentation of Operations Control Center topics.
In this article we want to promote best practices for SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) operations topics. The following list of Cloud Operations Knowledge Base Articles (KBAs) have been recently updated. The KBAs focus on operations challenges and activities for which the customer of an SAP as a Service software is responsible for - according to the simplified Cloud Responsibility Model (displaying only public cloud).
These activities are mapped to ITIL processes Event Management and Continual Improvement and hence are (or can be) part of the OCC and CCOE organizational model.
