Let me tell you a story... Protagonist Scene Problem Action Resolution... our story, the story about our journey... the journey of our transformation Source: haroldloren.com 2016 IBM Corporation 4

Who we are... Protagonist the SAP on OS/390 development team people having different skill sets, many of them non-mainframer, SAP s Software Lifecycle Validation (FA, PS) departement located all over the place, no mainframe skill at all* and the IT department responsible for all infrastructure, system programer, database- and storage administrators 2016 IBM Corporation 5

What was happening as the story began was Scene First shipment 1997: SAP R/3 3.0F The team provided databases running on z/os and executed the necessary life cycle management tasks based on user request, all manually Volume of requests was clear, rather constant, predictable Rolling out a single SAP product: SAP R/3 2016 IBM Corporation 6

And then what happened was Problem the situation escalated, SAP changed its product portfolio, explosive growth in number of databases required and in consequence also the number of requests for provisioning, maintenance, cloning, short lead time. Procedures in place felt short, took too long and did not scale well. Delays in development, testing and rollout because of request jam. There was a high danger in missing important SAP product rollout cycles. 2016 IBM Corporation 7

Our Challenge Start Releases: min. 64 SAP SCM 4.0 SAP SCM 4.1 SAP SCM 5.0 SAP SCM 5.1 SAP SCM 7.0 SAP BBP 2.0B SR2 SAP BBP 2.0C SR1 SAP EBP 3.0 SAP EBP 3.5 SAP EBP 4.0 SAP SRM 2.0 SAP SRM 3.0 SAP SRM 4.0 SAP SRM 5.0 SAP SRM 6.0 SAP SRM 7.0 SAP APO 3.0A SAP APO 3.1 SAP WEB AS 6.10 SAP WEB AS 6.20 SAP WEB AS 6.30 SAP WEB AS 6.40 SAP NetWeaver 04 / 7.0 SAP NetWeaver 04S / 7.1 SAP EP 6.0 SAP PI 3.0 SAP PI 7.1 SAP BW 2.0B SAP BW 2.1C SAP BW 3.0A SAP BW 3.0B SAP BW Content 3.1 SAP BW 3.5 SAP BW 7.0 SAP BW 7.01 SAP BW 7.10 SAP R/3 3.1I SR1 SAP R/3 4.0B SR1 SAP R/3 4.5B SAP R/3 4.6B SAP R/3 4.6C SR2 SAP R/3 Enterprise 47X110 SR1 SAP R/3 Enterprise 47X200 SAP ECC 5.0 SAP ECC 6.0 SAP Business Suite 7 SAP CRM 2.0B SR2 SAP CRM 2.0C SR1 SAP CRM 3.0 SR1 SAP Solution Manager 3.0 SAP CRM 3.1 SAP Solution Manager 3.1 SAP CRM 4.0 SAP Solution Manager 7.01 SAP CRM 5.0 SAP CRM 5.1 SAP CRM 6.0 SAP CRM 7.0 4 platforms SAP systems needed: 256 2016 IBM Corporation 8

What is your Challenge? Frequent SAP System Refresh New SAP landscapes for development Introduce new DB2 release provide dev systems migration existing systems Apply DB2 maintenance Provide Sandbox systems, short lead time Add SAP systems for new geographies 2016 IBM Corporation 9

And to take on the situation, we Action Initiated a dev project, the idea of database provisioning system was born. Automate most critical operations, first based on existing procedures, mainly to support the database administrator only. Build prototype quickly, first success did not stop us from moving on... Recognize the possibilities & opportunity to turn the table 2016 IBM Corporation 10

Which resulted in Resolution Private database cloud on z/os IBM Entry Cloud Configuration for SAP Solutions on zenterprise Self-service portal for development and test departments (pools & groups) Proactive resource planning and template preparation (monthly + SAP note 81737) Foundation for continuous, automated testing, rollouts on schedule (REST) Able to introduce new database releases as DB2 12 easily (starting pre ESP) 2016 IBM Corporation 11

DPS then and now - Obvious change 2016 IBM Corporation 12

And it goes on Add support for more Cross-sysplex cloning scenarios Enable DB2 discovery Deep integration with SAP LVM Rolling out new capabilities continuously, like SAP PTF Checker integration, Start/Stop DB2 instances via Web UI,... More z/osmf exploitation, micro-services, hybrid cloud,... 2016 IBM Corporation 13

Key Takeaways Be proactive turn the tables Get started, it is available - PoC, free of charge DPS = IBM Entry Cloud Configuration for SAP Applications on IBM zenterprise Source: http://adrenalfatiguesolution.com Cultural change: Take the opportunity Distributed learned a lot from mainframe, now its time to learn something from distributed We are in competition Recommended set of video: How mainframers can participate in cloud youtube video http://youtu.be/1k8r03ttgmg?list=plfd3irl3su9ossjgc58lhao2b56ncf2wk 2016 IBM Corporation 14
