Before: S/4HANA on-premise systems with HANA Cockpit. Alert notifications were configured to send each alert to the corporate service desk system.

After: S/4HANA was migrated into the SAP Cloud. No access to the OS, HANA databases, or HANA Cockpit. Alert notifications continue to be received every day, but it’s not needed anymore. The SAP Cloud team is responsible for these databases now.

Reflection: I know that even if the HANA Cockpit is turned off, configured database backups continue to work. It happens because the HANA Cockpit is only the configuration point. However, the scheduled job is stored directly in the HANA database. Maybe alert notifications are arranged in a similar way?

All that I have is access to the application server. Lets check it in DB02:

SELECT * FROM "_SYS_STATISTICS"."STATISTICS_EMAILRECIPIENTS"

And voila:

By the way, SAPHANADB user have read/write access to _SYS_STATISTICS scheme, if you know what I mean. But I didn’t say that =)
