In this blog, I wish to discuss the assessment ADM330 which focuses on enabling
a basis expert/consultant to get authorized to run ZDO upgrades on S/4HANA
 RSS Feed starting from S/4HANA2020.

Upgrades form a crucial technical activity that almost all the SAP basis experts
must be performing in their customer landscape. Most of the customers are
worried about technical downtime during these upgrades and are looking for
ways to effectively optimize the downtime. To aid customers and partners in this
area SAP is providing MDS services that are carried out by SAP themselves.
However, with the release of this exam to partners, customers now need not have
to fully rely on SAP to perform Zero-downtime upgrades or updates for their
S/4HANA systems starting from version 2020.

By writing this exam, the basis SME gets authorization in the form of a password
that SAP will provide when he/she raises a ticket under the component BC-UPG-
DTM-TLA. Other details that must be supplied in this ticket is

a. SID

b.SUM version

c. Knowledge badge.

The password thus attained must be supplied into SUM.

Once we open the SUM UI, post supplying the XML, SUM will prompt for 3 options
and we must choose “Downtime-optimized” option and within that , we must
choose “Zero Downtime Option(ZDO). Once we choose this option, we will be
asked for the above specified password.

NOTE:One must understand that the near-zero downtime(nZDO) is different from

this zero downtime approach(ZDO).

If you need more technical details on this ZDO, check out my below blog.

downtime-upgrades-updates/

Going back to why this exam is important for a basis expert is

1. This might be the way forward with respect to upgrades/updates where the
customer is aiming for zero downtime.
2. It is straightforward and easy to understand for someone who has already
performed an upgrade via SUM
3. The assessment is simple and easy to clear with just 12 straightforward
questions. Anyone who have gone through the ADM330 can quickly clear
this in the first attempt. its duration is 0.25mins
4. This is free for anyone with a professional learning hub access

ZDO option is available for usage via the normal SUM2.0 tool. This does have a
need for additional licenses.

If you already have learning hub access, search for learning content -> ADM330.
Once you complete the learning journey, search for ADM330 assessment and
take up the 30 mins assessment.
