4.1 Central contact point for hardware and software problems


The customer, or a company acting on his authority (such as e.g. SAP) reports problems concerning the Eligible Programs and
Machines by telephone, as far as possible providing all relevant information concerning the problematic situation, such as e.g.:
 XYZ customer number (see Order Form)
 Component ID: 5621SWC02
 Type, model and serial no. of the machine
 Operating system version/release/level and Service status
 Affected software/components (program no./component ID/Service status)
 Error identification (message code, message number, return code, reason code)
 Short description of the problem

The first qualified return call will take place as per the agreed Reaction Time by an XYZ Specialist for „SAP HANA Appliances“
(generally by the rST) taking into account any already known specifics regarding the customer’s IT environment and support
structure.
The subsequent handling of the problems is according to the relevant agreed Service Levels for the Eligible Programs and
Machines.
If a problem is detected during the processing indicating that the cause is related to SAP software, the problem description and the
preliminary, relevant analysis results, in agreement with customer, will be forwarded directly to SAP. To this end, the customer
authorizes XYZ to act on behalf of the customer and to notify SAP of the problem using the SAP customer data. The SAP customer
data are defined as:

 SAP customer number and


 SAP system number and
 SAP installation number, or
 a technical user installed at SAP, which allows notification of the problem and which is set up and made available to XYZ
by the customer.
The customer alone, in collaboration with SAP, is responsible for the subsequent coordination of the co-operation with SAP and the
resolution of the problem. Moreover, the customer is responsible for the implementation of the SAP recommendations.
XYZ assumes no responsibility for the resolution of problems concerning products not covered by a Basic Support Contract.

4.2 Software Support


XYZ provides remote support (by telephone through the XYZ Support Center) for the following customer requirements concerning
the Eligible Programs:

 answering basic questions and those concerning installation, usage and configuration that can be answered within a short time;
 answering questions concerning patches, drivers and firmware;
 answering questions concerning the compatibility and interoperability of products;
 answering questions concerning XYZ releases;
 answering questions concerning errors caused by code relating to eligible XYZ programs;
 checking the diagnostic information as support for localizing the cause of a problem (e.g. support with the interpretation of
traces and dumps for installation and code related errors);
 for known errors, providing information for correcting errors and program corrections (PTFs), to which the customer is entitled
due to the acquisition of usage rights for the XYZ software (license).

If the customer reports a problem concerning eligible non-XYZ programs, XYZ provides support for localizing the cause of the
problem and obtains information for the repair from the producer, if available.
As far as it is authorized, XYZ provides error and program fixes (if available) for known errors, if they do not concern open-source
software. For known errors concerning open-source software and for which XYZ ascertains that error or program fixes are available
in the Internet, XYZ will inform the customer of the relevant URL links. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to acquire or
download any error or program fixes.
If a new (hitherto unknown) error is identified, XYZ will report it to the relevant producer, and inform the customer of the measures
taken. In so doing, XYZ‘s support services are deemed to be provided. The producer of the program is responsible for the solution of
such problems.
For a situation where the producer provides a fix or program update for this new error, XYZ will inform the customer of the relevant
URL link.
For problems concerning open-source software, XYZ is in no way obliged to develop error corrections or program amendments,
provide them to the customer or integrate them into the open-source software. If XYZ ascertains that an error correction or program
amendment or the open-source software, into which this error correction or program amendment is to be integrated, breaches or
could breach third party rights, XYZ is at liberty to inform the customer of this. In this situation, XYZ is not obliged to inform the
customer whether or not a rights violation is/would occur, nor is it obliged to provide any further information on the subject, such as
for example URL links to error corrections or program amendments in the Internet with respect to this open-source software.

4.3 Agreed reaction times


XYZ will call the customer back within 30 minutes (round the clock) for a customer-critical problem concerning an Eligible Program,
and within two hours (during standard XYZ business hours) for problems not deemed to be customer-critical.
In the case of a problem concerning an Eligible Machine, XYZ will call the customer back within 30 minutes (during the relevant XYZ
or Lenovo service times for hardware maintenance, which are given in an applicable Basic Support Contract) for a customer-critical
problem, and within two hours (during standard XYZ business hours) for problems not deemed to be customer-critical.
All customer-critical problems must be reported by telephone, whereby details of the affected software components as well as
machine types and serial numbers must be given.
If this information is not provided, the problem is not deemed to have been reported.
If the problem cannot be resolved during the first call-back by XYZ, it will be determined, on the basis of this telephone call, whether
and which further measures are required to produce a technical solution to the problem.

4.4 On-site software support for customer-critical problems


If a customer-critical problem concerning an Eligible Program cannot be otherwise efficiently analyzed or resolved, XYZ will,
after consultation with the customer and at its own discretion, follow up the problem at the Installation Site of the Eligible
Machine on which the Eligible Program runs.

4.5 rST support


The Remote Solution Team will

 carry out a first telephone discussion with the Primary Contact Partner for Technical Questions in order to

For a customer-critical problem concerning an Eligible Program or an Eligible Machine, the rST will coordinate support activities from
within XYZ. To this end, the team will consult the appropriate support specialists, follow the pre-defined XYZ escalation guidelines
and continuously inform the customer about the status of the problem resolution, until the problem is resolved.

4.6 Microcode and release management


Within the scope of these Services and in consultation with the customer, the Service statuses for the first Node of each productive
HANA platform and the programs installed on them will be determined once per contract year. These will be compared to the
relevant service statuses available at this time and summarized in a statement together with recommendations for meaningful
updates.
The time frame for the provision of these Services must be planned at least three weeks in advance and agreed by the customer and
XYZ (rST).
