SAP TechEd Presentation (ITM230) Delivering Continuous SAP Solution Availability - How Novelis Corp has maintained 99.96% Solution Availability in the 12 months since our go-live on SAP
This document discusses elements of a software change management strategy, including release management and transport landscapes. It describes how grouping changes into defined release categories allows for different test strategies based on the scope of changes. Maintaining a release calendar that is aligned with business priorities helps coordinate change deployment. Establishing appropriate transport landscapes separates development and testing environments to reduce risks when moving changes to production.
A global development organization—in seven cities on three continents—has developers all using agile practices to develop complex applications. In addition to the common problems faced by distributed teams, they must deal with attrition rates in excess of 50 percent, possible loss of intellectual property, and the need to integrate the work of multiple Scrum teams into a single build. James Lynn describes an organizational structure that includes implementation teams, known as “the Factory.” Developers in the Factory often have little in-depth knowledge of the application or customer. Assisting the Factory are architecture teams that provide oversight, communication, coordination, and technical direction. The architecture teams include new roles such as Code Trolls who develop reference implementations for services and patterns to ensure the production of consistent code to common coding standards and quality measurements. These trolls review code against metrics standards, test case standards, and coverage. Learn how one organization successfully coordinated the efforts of massive, distributed development projects.

Wake Up – It’s Time to Upgrade Your S/4HANA System!panayaofficial
While many organizations are still running their ERP on SAP’s veteran platform – ECC, many others already completed their move to the newer S/4HANA platform.
Having said that, for those who were early adopters and implemented the first major S/4HANA versions between 2015 to 2017, it’s time to upgrade.
As SAP officially supports each S/4HANA version 5 years, these early versions (1511 to 1709) are already in end of life (EOL) mode.
This imposes significant risks to organizations, as well as preventing them adopt newer SAP solutions and innovations introduced in the further S/4HANA versions.

How National Australia Bank (NAB) used CA APM during performance testing to i...CA Technologies
Users are becoming increasingly impatient with new apps that don’t work. Often, you get one shot to get it right. But, new applications are being rolled out all the time, and being accessed from all sorts of devices. Operations need to provide developers with real-world production data to help them identify performance issues before applications go into production. This Application Lifecycle Optimization (or DevOps) is key for businesses to reduce the risk of faulty application rollouts.
Recently at DevOps Summit in New York, Peter Tsatsaronis of National Australia Bank (NAB) discussed how they used Application Performance Management (APM) from CA Technologies to create an exact replica of load and performance data from production to help developers improve new and enhanced application quality. As a result of that, NAB has lowered their transaction response time by 85%, improved developer code efficiency, and even found issues they didn’t know they had , which were all discovered in performance testing, by implementing CA APM.
Aruna Ravichandran, VP, Product Marketing, Application Performance Management and DevOps, CA Technology joined Peter from NAB at this session and shared how CA Technologies is uniquely positioned to help customers in their journey to DevOps transformation .
Peter and Aruna used this slide deck to present at the DevOps Summit, New York.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

6. SOME OF THE KEY CHALLENGES FOR SAP CHANGE
MANAGEMENT TODAY
• Multiple Applications – Emails, Spreadsheets, Sharepoint, ServiceNow, HP Quality Center
(testing), Testing and/or Validation forms
• No strict processes for Compliance so auditing is convoluted
• Multiple teams doing different changes different ways (BW does it differently then
ECC)
• No checks and balances along the way, who approved for Production no valid audit trail
• SAP changes going in the right sequence – one wrong import and an overwrite occurs in
QA and Prod causing rework
• Everything is an emergency vs exceptions are emergencies
Manual Processes have gaps and can increase SAP Production Risk!
7. IN THE WAKE OF DIGITIZATION, SAP SYSTEMS MUST BECOME
MORE AGILE, FLEXIBLE AND FASTER

13. WHAT PROBLEMS OUR SOLUTION SOLVES?
• Your SAP business waiting on the backend tech team to make changes to the SAP
environments by automating this
• SAP Managers are less stressed because their SAP systems are protected with
proactive checks before imports into QA and Prod
• SAP Basis Managers relying on their team to import these changes into Dev and QA
• Compliance/Auditing teams - By ensuring that the process is followed and there are
no gaps
• Taking Basis out of doing SAP Changes so they can focus on more important tasks like
making sure the SAP system is Optimized
• CIO’s not having a trusted partner with years of experience in SAP and provides the
best service in the market
• Ensuring SAP Production systems only receive approved and tested changes thru a
workflow process

30. WHY SYNCHRONIZATION MANAGEMENT?
5 box model
Synchronization needed between DEV N and DEV N+1, because
Re-applying bug fixes ensures that bugs will not become alive again after release roll out
Re-applying all other object changes allows developers on DEV N+1 to operate on the most recent objects and thus
becoming aware of e.g. interface changes as soon as possible

Recommendation
Every transport request that is exported from N (or imported into)
DEV N, will be recognied automatically and queued for further processing …
The objects of the queued transport requests will be analyzed
with regard to wether they were also changed on DEV N+1 or not
…
Based on the analysis result, each object will be catgorized into critical / not
critical …
The final result is a recommendation for how to synchronize an object – via
transport request from DEV N or manually …
If all objects of a DEV N request can be synchronized via transport, this DEV N
request can be applied to DEV N+1 with just 3 clicks.
If only some of the objects of a DEV N request can be synchronized via
transport, Synchronization Management allows to create a new transport
request on DEV N, that only contains the „non-critical“ objects. Direct
navigation for all objects into delta view & split screen illustration is also
provided.

DevOps Lebenszyklus erklären:
Plan: Anforderungsanalyse & Softwaredesign anhand von Betriebs KPIs. Admins, QA, Fachbereiche nehmen von Beginn an teil.
Develop: Verteilte Multicoding-Teams, Branching ist zwingend notwendig (sonst fast keine Parallelisierung möglich). Hier wird das Softwareinkrement (Scrum-Terminologie) erstellt.
Test: Funktionale Tests anhand vordefinierter Testfallbibliotheken und RPA-Skripten, Schrittweise Automatisierung von fachlichen Abläufen. In Non-SAP findet das Infrastrukturdeployment der Testsysteme ad-hoc statt.
Release: Infrastruktur wird automatisch deployt und konfiguriert (s. Container/Docker-Technologie), Applikationslogik automatisch ausgerollt.
Operate: Betrieb der ausgerollten Software unter Zuhilfenahme von Automatisierungstools (Reboots, Backup- & Recovery-Vorgänge oder der massenhaften Anlage von Usern). Ein detailliertes Monitoring ist notwendig, das neben System- auch Prozessdaten sammelt, um eine Echtzeitevaluation des Betriebs zu gewährleisten.
Feedback: Metriken und Statistiken zur Verfügung stellen, auf deren Grundlage die Performance sowie End-user Experience beurteilt wird. Das resultierende Feedback wird wieder in die Phase Plan gegeben.
1) Export
Keine Prozessänderung für die Entwickler von der Objektänderung bis zum Export
2) Automatische Analyse aller Workbench- und Customizing-Änderungen
Die zuletzt exportierte Version auf DEV wird mit der aktiven Version auf DEV‘ verglichen.
3) Automatische Kategorisierung
Jedes Objekt erhält einen Status, z.B. Objekt existiert nich auf DEV‘, Objekt wurde nur auf DEV geändert, Objekt wurde auf beiden Systemen geändert.
4) Empfehlung der optimalen Synchronisationsmethode
Das Ergebnis der Kategorisierung ist eine Empfehlung, ob ein Objekt per Transport abgeglichen werden darf oder manuell abgeglichen werden sollte.
