Hi Ron,
you shared the following information:
With SPS09 (planned for Nov later this year), we plan to introduce a feature called "multiple databases" which will provide greater flexibility to deploy more than one application or scenario on the same SAP HANA DBMS, each with its own "tenant DB." Thus, in future we should expect to more readily support scenarios like more than one BW system running "on"the same SAP HANA system hardware.
Are you saying that as of SAP Hana 1.0 SP09,
Multiple Components One System (MCOS)
and/or
Multiple DBs One HANA (MDOH)
and
Multi-SID
will be supported in the Productive scenario in one single "SAP HANA system" / "SAP HANA appliance".
This will obviously have a major positive impact on the implementation and operation costs.
Considering the above scenario, when do you foresee that documentation will be published on
Backup and Restore and Upgrades in the above scenarios, I mean, with multi, there is a cost saving,
but on the other side, there can be a major price to pay regarding maintenance, upgrades and backups and
restores, if for example any of these takes requires taking down all SIDs on the Appliance.
What is the timeline for publishing guidance on these subjects.
Thanks and kind regards,
Andy.
