What measures can ensure that SAP Analytics Cloud system updates do not disrupt existing reports?

One of the best ways to ensure that SAP Analytics Cloud system updates do not disrupt existing reports is by reviewing update release notes. Release notes provide important information about the changes being made during an update, including new features, resolved issues, potential impacts on existing functionalities, and deprecated features. By thoroughly reviewing these notes, users can understand how the updates may affect their current reports and analytics processes, allowing them to take necessary precautions or adjustments ahead of time. This proactive approach helps mitigate risks associated with updates, ensuring that reports remain functional and relevant post-update.

Other options, while they can contribute to the overall strategy for managing updates, do not directly address the specific need for understanding and mitigating disruption from system updates as effectively as reviewing release notes does. For example, restricting user access during updates may help prevent interruptions but does not inform users of changes. Similarly, thorough user acceptance testing is essential for validating new features, but it occurs after updates are implemented rather than preparing for them. Monitoring system performance post-update focuses on assessing the impact after changes are made, rather than preparing for them in advance.
