SPS 09 Availability and new features

[Former Member]

Hi all,

does anyone know when SPS09 will arrive and even more important, which new features we can expect? We are in the process of planning the upgrade to SPS8 and don't want to install an old version...

Thanks a lot to both of you. I am still missing a short overview about the latest features in SP10. Does something like that exist?

Hi Michael,

Please check the below path .

So I have pasted the required details for SP09 and SP10 release,

What’s Next: SP09 and SP10

SAP has decided to combine SP09 and SP10 and tentatively release them at the same time, October 2013. Among the planned enhancements and features are the following:

Enhancements

I've grouped the enhancements coming with SP09 and SP10 in the following five areas:

1. Integration of all SAP Notes within the Support Package. In an effort to simplify the Support Package upgrade process as well as minimize the amount of time it takes to implement the Support Package, SAP is planning to include all required SAP Notes for the Support Package upgrade.
2. cProjects will integrate with Solution Manager. This allows for the tasks and users to be automatically created. It allows you to manage cProjects directly within Solution Manager and minimizes the time for, and amount of, configuration required for cProjects.
3. Enhancements to three areas within Technical Monitoring: system monitoring, orchestration monitoring, and interface and connection monitoring. For system monitoring, SAP is adding monitoring capabilities for more SAP and non-SAP components and providing automatic reconfiguration of monitoring after changes in the landscape. For orchestration monitoring, watch for dedicated message flow monitoring and workflow monitoring of business process management. For interface and connection monitoring, IDoc and queued RFC (qRFC) interface monitoring types are planned.
4. Root Cause Analysis: Analysis of Sybase Unwired Platform (SUP).
5. ITSM. SAP is planning for simplified configuration, license management service catalog features (i.e., allowing end users to request hardware), and guided procedures.

New Features

There are three notable new features with SP09 and SP10:

1. SAP HANA sizing tool. This provides easy calculation of memory and disk space requirements for a HANA project.
2. Central CTS infrastructure. This added function to CTS allows the clustering of multiple systems to provide a transport route between multiple systems. It also improves change control management and provides more transport flexibility.
3. EHP Scope and Effort Analyzer. This simplifies the planning of future software deployments.

Eliminated Feature

There is one significant eliminated feature: Transaction SMSY will no longer be necessary with SP09 and SP10. It will be replaced with the LMDB, which incorporates features from SMSY.

For the latest information on the planned enhancements and added features of Support Package Stack SP09 and SP10, go to service.sap.com/support and follow menu path Release and Upgrade Info > Road Maps > Product and Solution Roadmaps > Database and Technology > SAP Solution Manager > Edition 2013 Q1 V3 or April 2013 Webinar. This path requires login credentials to SAP Service Marketplace. As with all roadmap-type information for SAP, this is subject to change.

Hi Michael,

According to some sources, SP09 and SP10 release will be clubbed together . i.e there will not be SP09 but directly SP10. The release date for SP10 in Q4 2013 or early 2014.
