SAP Upgrade Weekend Support

The SAP Upgrade Weekend Support service supports customers during their project - upgrade, migration and go-live.

This date generally lies on a weekend, extended weekend or over holidays (duration of 60 hours). This service is delivered per SystemID/Installation. 

You are assigned two named contact persons from SAP who are dedicated to your project for the designated weekend. These contact people are on-duty to speed up the resolution process by tracking the messages created by your upgrade project team until their resolution (within the support time frame).

Delivery Details

The SAP Upgrade Weekend Support is delivered remotely by two SAP support consultants. In line with your upgrade project, SAP schedules SAP Upgrade Weekend Support to minimize risk during your upgrade go-live date, which generally falls on a weekend or holiday.  If an issue arises, we ensure that the message processing cycle begins and that SAP's global resources are accessible.

With SAP Upgrade Weekend Support, you save time and money with:

  • direct SAP contact to accelerate access to SAP experts.
  • coordinated communication with SAP's worldwide resource.

SAP Upgrade Weekend Support can assist you when:

  • you are performing a critical technical upgrade.
  • you expect difficulties during the go-live.

Note: While SAP Upgrade Weekend Support is targeted to support most projects, it is not available for BOBJ products and there may be limitations on support for specific products / add-ons  / applications / components. 

You are contacted by an SAP Support Consultant in the week before the go-live weekend. Contact details for the weekend are exchanged - for example, telephone and mobile numbers, e-mail addresses. A current status of the project and any additional concerns can be highlighted at this time
