FAQ and How To
SAP Support maintains an extensive knowledge base full of notes (articles) categorised as FAQ and How To. These articles provide a list with questions with answers. How often the questions have actually been asked is not disclosed but we can acknowledge that some notes are at least frequently updated.
Exhibit 1
The FAQ on SAP HANA memory, for example, approaches (and no doubt soon surpasses) version 1000. Printed as PDF, the article counts 96 pages, references 206 other articles and is reference by 130.
From the SAP ONE Support Launchpad, you can mark the note as favourite and get notified about updates. You can also print the note (as PDF) or share. Show Changes highlights what has changed since the previous version.
Exhibit 2
Fortunately not all notes resemble PhD dissertations. We also find more concise KBAs just pointing to the documentation and/or best practice guide with references to relevant notes and articles.
S-User ID
To access the SAP ONE Support Launchpad you need an S-User ID (SAP Support account). How to get one is explained here
Without an account, we can only access the preview article made available to facilitate Google search.

Over the years, for the SAP HANA Academy, SAP’s Partner Innovation Lab, and à titre personnel, I have written a little over 300 posts here for the SAP Community. Some articles only reached a few readers. Others attracted quite a few more. For your reading pleasure and convenience, here is a curated list of posts which somehow managed to pass the 10k-view mile stone and, as sign of current interest, still tickle the counters each month. |
