End of maintenance for GTS 8.0 still March 2013?

[daithi_maclochlainn]

Hi all

As GTS 8.0 is NetWeaver 7.00-based, does the extension of mainstream maintenance described in Note 1648480 apply for GTS 8.0 or just 10.0? Anyone have any experience of this in terms of maintenance planning? I have a customer going live with 8.0 after an extended implementation project in March, as the Product Availability Matrix (PAM) currently stands they would need to upgrade to 10.0 within a year in order to remain in mainstream maintenance.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Dáithí,

I had the same question and just confirmed with our support representative that extended maintenance will not be offered for GTS 8.0.

Good luck with your upgrade!

I agree with Dave !! your best bet is to raise an OSS message with SAP and get this information clarified.

The note does not apply to 8.0.

And Unfortunately, the information given in PAM is correct.

May I as what exactly customer is using?

Hi Dáithí,

I think your best bet might be to ask SAP directly. You could do that via OSS.
