Last update: 26.7.2019
In this post I will try to summarize all versions of HANA that are (or were) available per Support Package Stack (SPS) and covering revisions ranges. SPS and revisions are fixes (corrections) shipped by SAP for the HANA product. SPSs are numbered incrementally starting from 000. They are normally released twice a year.
Meaning of version code:
Version: major_version.minor_SPS.patch/revision.build
A.BC.DEF.GH.IJKLMNOPRS
ABC - indicates major HANA version 1 or 2 currently
DEF - indicates minor HANA version - so called SPS level
GHI - JKL - indicates patch/revision
MNOPRS - indicates build
Examples:
1.00.122.12.1502962396 HANA 1 SPS 12
1.00.100-1.00.109 HANA 1 SPS 10 (every revision between 100 and 109 is SPS10)
HANA2

There are different Revision Types for SAP HANA. The “Revision” refers to packages containing fixes for the SAP HANA core components (like SAP HANA Database, Studio, Clients, AFLs, LCapps, SDA, HWCC tool, etc). Here are different Revision Types:
1. Release to customer (RTC) Revision – new features and fixes, for early adapters and Non-production systems, released every 6 months
2. Standard Revision – incremental fixes, based on latest SPS feature set, for early adapters and Non-production systems, released on demand
3. Datacenter Service Point (DSP) Revision – incremental fixes, based on latest SPS feature set, released every 6 months after having run in SAP production system for 2+ weeks
4. Maintenance Revision – incremental critical fixes only, production systems (targeting planned and unplanned maintenance), released on demand provisioned for previous SPS between RTC and DSP only as of SPS10: provided after DSP for the current SPS
There is another term used within release management of SAP HANA. A ”weekstone”. The HANA weekstone is a build generated from source code every week. It is not released for customers and serves only for SAP internal purposes. Tests of the HANA like regressions and other tests related to quality happen on the weekstones. Once the particular weekstone passes all the tests it becomes Revision which is afterwards released to our customers/partners.
