Knowing the maintenance status of a release

Knowing whether a release a solution runs on is still maintained, and until when: which versions get fixes, which get critical fixes only, and when maintenance ends. Upgrading to a newer release once that is known is a different job.

Overview

SAP SHIPS

SAP's Product Availability Matrix on the SAP Support Portal lists, for each SAP software release, its release type, its maintenance durations, its planned availability and its upgrade paths, with the database platforms and operating systems it runs on.

Not covered: At one release at a time, read in the portal or exported as a file. The matrix does not hold which releases a given organisation runs, so checking a landscape against it is a person's own list held next to the matrix.

SAP's answer is a page of the SAP Support Portal rather than something one develops with, so it is not an artifact. The entries that answer this across stacks are listed on the Operations & Runtime domain page and count into no door's coverage.

THE COMMUNITY ADDS

Tools that read a person's own export of the Product Availability Matrix: a browser app, SAP Support Radar, that checks the releases a person marks as their landscape, and a local MCP server, pam-mcp-server, that answers an agent's questions about version status. Both are by Tobias Hofmann.
