Applying support packs in SAP netweaver 2004s

Hi,
I am working on SAP netweaver 2004s and currently our systems are on Support pack 9.
We want to move to SP12.
Can I directly apply SP12 or I have to apply SP10, 11 & than SP12.
SAP has recommended to apply patches after 2 april 2007 using Solution Manager optimizer.
Solution Manager optimizer can only be used for ABAP stack and for Java stack i need to used JSPM correct me if I am wrong.
Regards,
Manish

Hi
Yes, you Can I directly apply SP12 and no need to apply SP10, 11 & than SP12.
Procedure to upgrade from SP9 to SP12 by SAPINST method
1.we need to download the patches for SP13 from the following patches
www.service.sap.com/swdc/support packages
a. OS independent Patches
J2EERT12.0l0001982.SAR
b. Control file for Oracle
CTRLORA12.020000118.SAR
c.J2EE DB dependent patches
J2EERTOS12.020000118.SAR
d. SAPINST Patches
SAPINST12.020000118.SAR
2.Keep all downloaded files in directory say (sappatches).
Goto cmd prompt -> Specify the location of the downloaded patches i.e., (sappatches)
Uncar all the patches using command sapcar xvf <filename>.sar.
When you uncar all these files we will be getting SAPINST_CD folder.
3.Application of J2EE patches
Goto ->SAPINST_CD/sapinst/NT/1386/sapinst.exe
Say Run new installation.
Specify Central Instance Profile.
Profiles are located in /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/sys/profile.
Central Instance Profile is a.<SAPSID>_DVEBMGS<instancenumber>_<HOSTNAME> for an ABAP+JAVA system.
b.< SAPSID>_JC<instancenumber>_<HOSTNAME> for a standalone JAVA system.
After successful completion you can check your patch level (SP12) in URL
http://<hostname>:50000/sap/monitoring/systeminfo
With regards,
Kanthi.

SAP NetWeaver 2004s Java Trial Version on Windows Vista

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to install SAP NetWeaver 2004s Java Trial Version for three days now on Windows Vista Ultimate. Since Microsoft has a new security infrastructure implemented in Windows Vista, it is not that easy to install SAP NetWeaver 2004s Java Trial Version. Windows Vista has some sort of User-account security. In summary, in Windows Vista, you are logged in as an administrator, but when it comes to change system files or do registry entries, you or respectivly third party programs (e.g. SAP NetWeaver 2004s Java Trial Version installer) has no rights to do things like registry entries. There is a possibility to rightclick on the setup.bat file and start it in administrative mode, but that doesn't change a thing.
I hope you guys get my problem.
This is the error log:

Windows Vista isn't on the support matrix of SAP Netweaver 2004s!
you may play arround with regedit and chaning the security settings of SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DPS key. SAPinst is doing a KEY_ALL_ACCESS when enumerating the services registry.
Starting with Vista some registry values have special protection which do not allow administrators to open them with KEY_ALL_ACCESS.

SFTP supports in SAP Netweaver 2004s

Hi All,
Can anyone please tell me whether the file adpater supports SFTP or not? We are currently on SAP Netweaver 2004s Service Pack 10.
Satish

Jin,
>Furthermore, there is currently no plan to support sFTP in the near future.
That is rather sad. All Clients I have worked with have had a sFTP only policy in place and so as a workaround we have had to write Shell Scripts to move the files from outside the firewall to XI and then use the File Adapter to poll over the files.
We were hoping that there would be some concrete plan on this.

Experiences - Applying support packs to enhanced SAP Web Dynpro code

Just thought I might highlight some experiences we've had with applying support packs for XSS. (Reply if you have your own experiences or a proven better way)
Firstly, we are using Travel within XSS and have some significant developments to get this working globally. Rightly or wrongly, we added our own DC's within the ESS application area and need to take this into account during support packs.
As advised by SAP, we have not directly applied the support pack source code to the modified track, but created a separate SPXX track which we manually need to reaply all of our changes. It dissapoints me that SAP don't recommend doing what the help.sap.com states, but there must be a reason for this (supposedly the meta data tool not yet available in NW04 will address the main reason).
In order to get our custom DC's from the old track to the new; I needed to add all non-generated objects to an activity, connect SPXX-1 track to the SPXX track and transport all the way through to the approval stage to get it migrated (the connection can be terminated after this is done). Again - Less than ideal, especially if you accidentally transport a generated file or miss a file.
Then for all SAP Web Dynpro changes, we've documented all changes to the nth degree and it's at this point we manually reapply the changes - taking into account any SAP changes that may have occurred.
I hope SAP promotes doing this a better way soon, but here's a process for anyone else needing to do this.
Regards,
Matt

As you stated the system without the context tab is NetWeaver 7.0. The context tab and the extra wizards were new features in NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1. Your system would have to be updated to this NetWeaver Enhancement Package level in order to have this functionality.

How to import Support Package 13(SAPKW70013) for SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI

Hi,
How to import Support Package 13 for SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI (BI Patch 13 or SAPKW70013)
Note no for that is : 1019055.
Thanks in Adavance,
Dushyant.

Hi,
RTC for BI 7.0 SAP_BW SP 13 is scheduled in CW 21, that is coming week, after that you should be able to download it from service market place.
@others: Dont get confused about SPS release with SP release. BI has intermediate release which is SP release, SPS is SP-Stack release (which is NetWeaver release).
SP 12 correspond to SPS 12 which is sceduled CW 21.
Hope this helps.

How to velify applying support packs SAP R/3 46C

Hi,
I'm going to implement multiple support packs to our R/3 46C system.
Patch level will jump up over 10 levels to the latest level.
My point is the support packs have too many SAP Notes over 2000 to foresee possible impacts to our application area.....
Can you give me some hints about that from your experience?
I guess the impacts are confined to our ADD-ON parts (Namespace of Z, Y...). No inpact for SAP default parts.
Thank you in advance.
Y.Shirako

Hello Yuji, below is the answer to yourt questions.
- Am I correct in assuming that there will not be big problems once corresponding SAP Notes in "Side-effect reports" are appl
(No problems will happen if support packs are implemeted with all pre requisites are met. From pre requisite i mean suppose for applying HR components you need some basic level of BASIS, Abap components.)
- I plan to apply support packs via TCD:SPAM. Which time point should I consider SAPU and SPDD, before or after SPAM...?
(SPAU and SPDD will come during run of SPAM transaction when components are getting patched. That time you can call ADJUST MODIFICATIONS and later after completion of SPAM activity you can ask application team to do SPAU and SPDD which they will do in terms of transport request)
Hope it addresses your query.

Installing SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR2 (SP9)

Has anyone installed the SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR2 (SP9)
which is in the download section. I tried to install but its throwing exceptions after I gave the j2eadmin user and SAPService user. Has anyone else experienced this problem? The error is something like invalid user exception. I thought i can give any name there but its not accepting any names there.
I'm installing on Windows XP professional Service Pack 2.
Asha

Krishna,
That note doesnt apply to me. And I didnt find any thing in PI Installtion guide.
So far i was not able to install successfully any of the netweaver systems given in the downloaded section. Not sure what am I missing.

Rajat,
Sorry for the delay. I was on vacation.
Which environment variable are you referring to?
JAVA_HOME is set to C:\j2sdk1.4.2_09.
I am using j2sdk1.4.2_09.
Only port changes I tried was
#sapdp01 3201/tcp.
I tried with and without the # .
Both had the same results.
I have given below the last few statememts from the sapinst log file
Any help to solve my problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Can I instal SAP Netweaver 2004s trial on windows vista home premium

Hi ,
Can I install SAP Netweaver 2004s trial on WIndows vista home premium. Please advise.
One more thing is I am not able to download the Trial version from the SAP's FTP site. Because ftp is blocked in our company. Is there any other site from which I can download the trial version. Please advise.
Thanks,
Sam.

In this Forum it appears that Windows 2000 with SP4 will work as well (haven't tried it).
If you've got VISTA you could consider running the trial on a Virtual Machine. Parallels, and vmware offer commercial vm products for generating Virtual machines whilst Microsoft (Virtual Pc2007) and VBOX offer Free virtualisation products. Vmware also provides a FREE vmware server virtualisation product --this works fine as well although no multi-media support. However if you only need the Virtual Machine to run the Netweaver trial then that's no big deal.
As I've posted elsewhere a Win XP pro Virtual Machine using only 512MB of RAM will give quite adequate performance of the ABAP trial. Don't even THINK of the Java edition unless you've got at LEAST 2GB - even on a Virtual Machine.
Cheers
Jimbo

Hi,
I changed the system name but still I am getting the same error. Previously there was an SAP system was installed in my pc later I uninstalled that, but still there are two SAPsid_00 and SAPsid_01 (where in sid is MS) is running. I think this is the problem. I disabled the services as well but still I am getting the same error during the installation. How to delete the windows services ? and how to do a clean up for registry ?. I feel if I do theses two then I can install.
Thans a lot for your helps and support.

Which patch to begin with SAP netweaver 2004s - BI 7.0

Hi every body,
I have some questions on this new BW release.
1)Which patch could correct the most problems on BI 7.0?
2)Do the configuration of instal an 7.O with using the 3.5 functionalities, means that we have not the 7.0 bugs on the new objects (DTP, datastore, ...)because we do not use them ?
3)In an upgrade configuration, do it exist a tool or anything which permit to upgrade, for example ODS into Datastore or update rule into DTP and so on ?
Thanks a lot for your answers
best regards
Ulrich LARCHER

Hi Ulrich,
ad 1.)
We (SAP) recommend to start with SPS7, which greatly improves stability especially in the frontend area. For the backend feature, you could easily go with SPS6.
ad 2.)
pretty much, yet there might be some hiccups. In general, most customers with a technical upgrade (upgrade to SAP NetWeaver 2004s, yet using mainly BW 3.5 features) do not report too many issues.
ad 3.)
for your examples given, there are kind of migration tools. A former ODS Object will automatically be an DataStore Object; a DTP can be created with an update rule as template starting from SPS7 (please be aware that the conversion of a routine can only happen on a best guess base - you will have to check the results in case of extensive / complex ABAP routines). In general, you will also find an extensive description about the migration support tools for SAP NetWeaver in the SPS7 version of the documentation. We have included a dedicated chapter in the technical operation manual (TOM) for most of the features that are affected by migration.
Cheers

GUI error on SE80 in SAP NetWeaver 2004s ABAP trial Edition

I have SAP NetWeaver 2004s ABAP trial Edition installed on WinXP. one problem is that when I run T-code SE80 (Object Navigator) the middle section of the left part of the screen (where it would normally allows you to select object type for display) is not painted. it is just a block of white space! Other parts of the screen seems to work fine (both Top and Bottom sections). Has anyone had such problem? What can I do to fix it? Thank you for your help

Installing SAP Netweaver 2004s On CentOS 5

I am planning to install SAP Netweaver 2004s on CentOS 5 on a 64bit multiprocessor Dell Server. Is it possible to install on as its a upstream vendor OS clone RHEL5. Are there any detailed HowTo(s) Guides to install.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

When you say its for training, will SAP provide any support on the application server or database side?
No - as said - it´s not officially supported.
I am also planning to use CentOS for training purpose.... but wondering if SAP will help if we have any issues later.
If the problems are OS related they won´t help (and they can´t).
Also, can you provide me with the install steps for Centos?
I would try with the normal installation guides for Linux - if you face any issues let us know.

How to apply support pack

Hi,
We are going to apply support pack.Currently we are on support pack SAP_HR & EA_HR 27.Can you please guide how we can check dependency while applying support pack 28 & 29.
Can any one please suggest the method of applying support pack.

To Apply Support packs first up all you need to download the patches. When you have the downloaded the file i.e.. (*.car ) patch file then you can extract and apply it in two ways.
1. Go to command prompt through cmd (if you are using windows) and go to the folder where you have download these files ( could be in <drive>\downloaded folder\ ) type this command on command prompt without quotes "sapcar -xvf <filename>.sar". Now it will create a folder called EPS and a folder called IN inside EPS. Go to this folder and it will show two extracted files with extension " .att " and " .pat ". Copy this two files into yours trans\eps\in folder which could be something like <drive>\usr\sap\trans\eps\in folder.Then type spam on your session and navigate to Support Package\Load Package\From Application Server and it will ask for Path confirm it Say " YES"Select the patch imported and double click on it and then click on small truck Icon and it start Import.
2. Type Spam on session then navigate to Support Package\Load Package\From FrontEnd \ and Navigate to path where you have downloaded the *.SAR file of Support Pack.Now it will open a popup window and then click on decompress button ( It is front-End process for extracting or decompressing .sar file in .pat and .att extension ) After that click on Display-Define button on right hand side.) Select the BASIS or ABAP patch ( whichever you are applying *) what ever you are after and import it in queue. After that click on Small truck Icon in menu i.e.. (import Queue) and it Starts importing.
