SAP Support Backbone Update:
Impact on SAP Solution Manager and Focused Run
SAP's Support Backbone is the central infrastructure located at SAP to provide technical support to
our customers.
The Support Backbone infrastructure has been updated, but the legacy infrastructure remains in
place to allow a safe transition for SAP customers. Customers using SAP Solution Manager or
Focused Run must transition to the new infrastructure before January 1st 2020 to ensure continuous
connectivity by performing the following actions:
• SAP Solution Manager: Upgrade to SAP Solution Manager 7.2 SPS07 or SPS08* (preferred)
• Focused Run: Upgrade to Focused Run 2.0
If these activities are not performed, SAP Solution Manager and Focused Run will lose connectivity
to the SAP Support Backbone.
Detailed information regarding impacts can be found here: https://support.sap.com/backbone-update
*SPS08 is required for partners

To-do list:
• Build your value roadmap for SAP Solution Manager
• Update to SPS 7 or SPS 8
• Implement Data Protection and Privacy Measures
• Stay connected to the Backbone

Customer-specific maintenance
At the end of mainstream maintenance
Customer-specific maintenance covers:
Resolution of problems only in case of known
solutions or workarounds
Resolutions for “new” problems (problems not yet
known to SAP) are typically charged based on time
and material
No support packages
No legal changes
Limited technology updates
No service-level agreement
Customer-specific maintenance enables customers
to continue running their mature release until the
time when an upgrade takes place.
Refer to SAP note 52505 for more details on the
scope and restrictions of customer-specific
maintenance. Disclaimer: The maintenance strategy rules described in this document apply
to SAP applications. Special rules may apply to applications in the SAP
BusinessObjects portfolio.

Landscape Management
Maintenance Planner is mandatory for planning system conversions to SAP S/4HANA
Maintenance Planner…
… checks for installed software components,
activated business functions and add-ons
… prevents the conversion if there is no valid path
for the conversion (for example, the add-on is not
released yet)
… one stop solution for planning SAP S/4HANA
conversion and new installation
… generates mandatory stack file for conversion
… supports download of files, which are consumed
by Software Update Manager (SUM)
…offers multiple deployment options e.g. (front-end
system embedded/separate with backend)

 Data Avoidance
deactivating the creation of data, e.g. Posting Data from MM
 Data Summarization

 Data Deletion
deleting out-of-date records from the online database which
are no longer required by business processes or legal
compliance, e. g. spool data
 Data Archiving
removing legal compliance and/or product liability data that needs to be
kept for a longer period from the online database to a different storage
medium with access and display them after their moving by the application
 Data Aging
moving data from the in-memory part of a SAP HANA database to the disk part
