Future Release & Maintenance Strategy

Many customers have asked for a clear and predictable SAP HANA Release and Maintenance Strategy. Therefore, starting with SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 08, which is currently planned for Q4/2024, we are targeting to deliver new SAP HANA 2.0 versions every 2 years and always in Q4 of the calendar year. In addition, each SAP HANA 2.0 version will provide a 4-year maintenance period. This means that customers will always have a 2-year overlap between two consecutive versions, offering sufficient time to plan and upgrade to the most recent version.

      Any plans when SPS 07 will be available as HANA Express Edition? The current version SAP HANA Express (Rev. 61) is from May 2022 (11 months now!). Quite frustrating, especially as a customer with paid subscription.

      Hi Fabian - a version of HANA Express based on SPS07 is in the current plans.  It would come after the release of SAP HANA SPS07 Rev 71.

      Hi Mike Paola , hi Stefan Baeuerle ,

      nodejs runtime shipped with HANA Express SPS6 hit its end of life. It's not possible to update node version without SPS release in Express Edition, right? Any ETA for SP7 for HANA Express?

      Cheers,
      Alej

      Hi Stefan Baeuerle long time no see!

      Just one minor correction in

      ...SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 08, which is currently planned for Q4/2024

      I assume you meant 2023, end of the current year for the next SP?
