As I am sure you noticed, lately the Support Portal from SAP or newer the Launchpad has changed so many times. Probably for many of you it is still not clear where to find stuff you need, so I thought it would be a good idea to share the location for most important areas a Basis admin would need. This page will be changed with new items regularly, so keep an eye on it from time to time ;).
Sometimes the Portal might experience problems and might not be available, other times there are some planned activities that require downtime and the portal cannot be accessed. There is one link where you can check the service availability of the site, so you can access this link if you experience any problems, or more convenient, you can also subscribe to this page so you are notified:
https://status.support.sap.com/
If you want to find any information related to a product starting from KBAs, blog articles, forum questions, guides, archives to use for install/upgrade you can do a search for it here:
https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/productsearch
Alternatively, you can also add this tile, as a shortcut on your launchpad page, click on the Personalize button on your Launchpad page:
Search on My products:
And add the tile on your home page:
