Update an SAP HANA

System from 1.0 SPS 07 -
 1.0 SPS 09 to SAP HANA
Platform 2.0 SPS 00
Update an SAP HANA system from SAP HANA Platform 1.0 SPS 07 - SAP HANA Platform 1.0 SPS
09 to SAP HANA Platform 2.0 SPS 00:

1. Stop the SAP HANA system and all applications that use the SAP HANA system.

2. Perform a system backup.

3. To prevent the SAP HANA system from starting during the operating system upgrade, set
the autostart parameter in the profile to 0 (=off).

The profile can be found

here: /hana/shared/<SID>/profile/<SID>_HDB<instance_number>_<hostname>

4. Update the SAP HANA system to SPS 10, SPS 11, or SPS 12.

5. Note
With SAP HANA Platform 2.0, the metadata persistency layout has been changed. Furthermore an
older column store persistence format has been deprecated and is not supported anymore.
Therefore you need to pay special attention before updating your existing SAP HANA 1.0 system
into SAP HANA Platform 2.0.

Run the procedure HANA2_PERSISTENCE_MIGRATION_HELPER as described in SAP Note

2372809.

6. Upgrade the operating system to RHEL 7.2 or SLES 12 SP1.

For more information, see Upgrade the Operating System in the SAP HANA Master Guide.

7. Update the SAP HANA system to SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 00

Cloud Computing at SAP

 SAP is a cloud company driven by SAP HANA in-memory technology. We
have 110 million cloud subscribers and 41 state-of-the-art data centers
around the world. We offer cloud apps (SaaS) for all lines of business, a
market-leading cloud platform (PaaS), and flexible on-demand
infrastructure (IaaS). You can rely on proven enterprise cloud security and
hosting services and choose from a public, private, or hybrid cloud
environment.

What is cloud computing?

Simply put, cloud computing makes it possible for users to access data, applications, and services
over the Internet. The cloud eliminates the need for costly hardware, such as hard drives and
servers and gives users the ability to work from anywhere. Over 90% of businesses are already
using cloud technology in a public, private, or hybrid cloud environment. The major benefits of cloud
include:

Elasticity: Scale up or down quickly to meet computing demand

Affordability: Only pay for what you use, and minimize hardware and IT costs

Availability: Get 24/7 cloud system access from anywhere, on any device

Simplicity: Free IT from managing servers and updating software

Cloud-as-a-service
Cloud computing is divided into three broad service categories: software-as-a-service (SaaS),
platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS

What is SaaS?
SaaS software-as-a-service is a way of delivering applications over the Internet.
Customers can access SaaS applications right from a Web browser, which means there is
no hardware or software to buy, install, maintain, or update. The SaaS provider takes care
of everything and the customer always has the latest version of the application.

What is PaaS?
Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) provides a cloud platform and tools to help developers build
and deploy cloud applications. Users access PaaS from a Web browser, so there is no need
to purchase and maintain the underlying hardware and software. With PaaS, developers
can pick and choose the features they want on a subscription basis.

What is IaaS?
Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) lets companies rent computing resources such as
servers, networks, storage, and operating systems on a pay-per-use basis. IaaS providers
host the infrastructure and handle tasks like system maintenance and backups so
customers dont have to buy hardware or employ in-house experts to manage it.
