Different Support Pack Levels

Hi experts, we are running a federated portal network, between our BI Portal with a ABAP daat source and our EP Portal which is your standard ldap data source. We are looking at implementing ESS MSS or XSS into our portal landscape.
I understand from SAP that i will need to install SP21 onto our portal systems to get the XSS business packages. But our BI team are dragging there heels about wanting to upgarde the BI Portal. I understand that the xss implementation creates a second node in a federated portal network that you will derive all your content from.
What are the implications/problems we may have if we upgarde our EP Portal to SP21 but leave our BI Portal on SP19 or 20??
Will it still work, connectivity wise and RDL wise?? Or will it just corrupt the whole thing???

The best possible scenario is to have the consumer and all the producer portals on the same version and SP level. However, this might not be possible to maintain at all times in landscapes were you have multiple producer portals.
Should you have a version difference, the general recommendation is to have your consumer portal at a higher SP level than your producers. All the portals should be on 7.0 version.
Please see the following link and SAP note 1295662 for more information on version Interoperability in FPN:

SAP R/3 4.6 B Support pack level for AIX 5.2

Hi,
We have upgraded O.S version from AIX 4.3 to AIX 5.2. Here our environment is SAP R/3 4.6B and DB oracle 8.1.7.
My question: Do we apply any support pack to the system after support pack upgrade. Please find the below support pack level for our current system.

Do we apply any support pack to the system after O.S upgrade ?

Support Pack Level Upgrade in BI 7.0

Hi all,
Can anyone let me know what are the possible issues that would occur after upgrading support pack level in BI 7.0.
As far as I know a BI consultant would participate in the upgrade activities like BI objects check, SPAU, query check, etc. Can anyone let me know if there are are any other activities to be performed.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Sunny.

Hi
There is any customer specific development done by SAP in the previous system. If so, the time to act is just after the pre upgrade study only. The customer would only want to retain the customer specific module developed by SAP. We need to get SAPu2019s intervention in the project before we start the upgrade. SAP would develop certain patches to be run on the previous system to capture all the customer specific development and then they would run some patches on ECC system u2013 this would release the customer specific development in the new system (ECC./BI). This is a very crucial and important check of the step. If not taken care of at the proper time, it might hamper the Customer Specific development on the new system.
It is to be assured that the new system is at the latest stack level for ABAP, XI, BI etc before we start the SPDD and SPAU phase
Only one request is to be made for SPDD. For SPAU too, only one request should be made.
Previous system sandbox should be available for reference during the entire upgrade project and should not be scrapped before the Go Live.

Hi Senthil,
of course it is always recommended to use the newest Support Package Stack,
but if your system (your business processes) are working fine, I would recommend you to
import support package only then when you have an error or you want to have a special fiunctionality.
Some customers play support packages into the system only twice a year, because the business processes
should be tested after the sp import.

Support Pack level for R/3 4.7 and BW 3.5 with SAP CRM2007

Hi Rajesh,
Please see the note '833438', it explains which pack is required in this scenario.
"You cannont connect ERP (R/3) releases lower than 4.6C to CRM 5.0.
All subsequent CRM releases (5.0 or higher) cannot be connected to ERP lower
than (R/3) 4.6C.
These types of system landscapes are not supported by SAP.
If you are using CRM 5.0, you must have implemented Plug-in PI 2004.1
Support Package 10 and, provided you have Basis Release 620 or higher, you
must import PI_BASIS 2005.1 in R/3. --> After you have imported these
plug-ins"

Support Pack level for upgrade

Hi All,
We are upgrading from R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0, can anybody provide me Support Pack level for SAP_ABA, SAP_BASIS etc. before starting upgrade.
I have gone through lot of OSS notes but not getting exact SP level.
Regards,
Sachin

I depends on
- what upgrade package you use (SR1, SR2, SR3)
- the SP level of the source system
The upgrade guide tells you the minimum SP level needed to do the upgrade.
If you use the new CD/DVD set, the system will be upgraded to SP 12 (BASIS, ABA, SAP_APPL).
If you backup your wage tables before the upgrade (as described in the installation guide) you can also go to the highes SP level for SAP_HR.

Support pack level issue in Standard Finance Program.

Hi Everyone,
                i have an issue which is related to Finance. Actually, Finance People are Using a Standard Report (FS10N) - GL Account Line item display. There,Vendor and Customer Details are not displayed (Customer/Vedor Filed is empty) for the normal GL Account. But for the Reconsalation GL accounts they are able to see.
               For this issue SAP released an SNOTE 1107639 and correction delivered in SAP_APPL support pack 12.And we already applied it in the system and our current SAP_APPL level is 14. Though it is already available why the problem is still persist. Another thing is, for the same issue there is another SNOTE 1034354 which guides to enhancement thro' some BADI work in standard program.
              My question is that if the correction is available in a patch and that is imported as well in to system without any error then it should resolving the problem.but in this case why it does not work out or what could be the reason behind this. As a Basis admin i would like to know.
Thanks&Regards,
Siva

Hi Siva,
Your query is obsolutely acceptable...
After supportpack update some times database will not be synchronised with the new updates.
and more over it seems there is a complete issue with SAP side.... there is only one option in u r hand now just restart the system.but please make sure to take the down time...and check whether the correction is working or not..if not then no luck u need to contact SAP global team and ask them why the corrections are not working properly..

Release 600, Level 11 (support pack SAPKGPAD11) vs Release 604, Level 03 (s

Hi,
We are moving into the SAP ECC enviroment and need to understand the difference between the 2 Support Packs Release 600, Level 11 (support pack SAPKGPAD11) vs Release 604, Level 03 (support pack SAPK-60403INEAAPPL).
Can anyone give us an indication in terms of functionality what we should be looking out for? During the testing we already came across and issue regarding double invoicing but this was fixed with a OSS note.
From a coding, functionality, intergration and process perspective,how do we know what the differences are? Is there a document that lists these difference as a quick comparison between the two releases.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
There is lot of difference btween 2. ECC System with EHP4 (Release 604 Level 3), ECC package will be on 604 release and level represents the support pack level of 604 release. If your system is on this level then it means that your system is with Enhancement packages but if your ECC components are on release 600 then it is without Enhancement packages.
Enhancement packages has been delivered a lot of new things like New GL etc. More information for what extra features ECC 6.0 with EHP4 has: can be checked on http://service.sap.com/erp-ehp.
To take your system from 600 release to 604 release requires a lot of effort because you have to upgrade your system to bring at this release.
Thanks

Support pack Upgradation

Hi Gurus
I have couple of doubts on my Transports.We are upgrading support packs on BI 7.0.
They upgraded on Development System and They are planning to upgrade support packs on Testing and Production System.I want to transport from Develoment to Testing System.
What would be the effect on Transport if I transport objects from Dev System to Testing System when they are on different Support packs.Can I migrate the Objetcs or not .If so what would be the effect.Please let me know.
Could any one let meknow how to apply SAP notes once the basis apply Support Pack Upgrade.I need to do this down the road.Any help will be appreciatable and assign points.
Thanks,
Suryam.

Hi,
Usually SAP notes are applied by the BASIS team. Notes are nothing but code changes provided by SAP for the std SAP programs.
Also in case you the transports, I would do thorough checking as patch levels are different on both the systems and the functionality might be different. For ex. if a patch upgrade came with some new features in query designer and those features were used in development, they'll not be available in test system after you transport as the patch levels are different. After patch upgrade to the test system, you might have to retransport.
Cheers,
Kedar

Help understanding support packs

Hello,
We have been asked to help in applying support packs accross our SAP enviornment. We are currently running
ECC, BI, SRM, PI/XI, solman (and portals, but thats just Java).
I have in the past implemented support packs, however, its been a while. I took a look at the systems to see whats in SPAM (current release), and
have found a TON of components listed there:
i.e. in our ECC6 system, they have, SAP_ABA, SAP_BASIS, SAP_BW, SAP_AP, SAP_APPL (which I belive are the ones we need)... they also have a lot of
components listed (such as: EA-IPPE, EA-FINSERV, EA-PS, IS-M, IS-OIL, LSOFE, and so on... the list goes on (about 40 components). Some components (such
as SAP_BW are listed in SPAM... even though its a ECC6 system (not bi).
My questions are:
1. Is there a way that I could determine what we acctually need?
2. What are the minimum components we need to update?
3. Do we also update SAP_BI in ECC, or XI (these are listed in spam)?
4. Are there any dependancies? i.e. should we update j2ee w/ any support stacks we update? or are there any components that
need to be updated (I know we do spam/saint), but Im still not able to find a step by step guide...
This will be the first time we run this since our upgraid, so any tips and help would be appriciated.
Thank you everyone!
Richard

Hi Richard,
Is there an easy way to determine what support stack we are currently on?
To answer the above question,
From any SAP screen go to sytem->status and click on the magnifying glass button just below
component version, under system data.
This should give the list of componets and their support pack level.
In service market place, for ECC 6, follow the below path to find the necessary support packs,
My Company's Application Components->SAP ERP->SAP ERP 6.0->Entry by Component->SAP ECC Server
EHP4 is the latest enhancement package, however the support pack level is higher than 17.
For example for basis component, it is currently at 21.
An Enhancement package is different from support pack

Date and Time          10.09.2010 09:41:37
Short text
     Function module "POSS_UIREQ_OPT_SUBMIT" not found.
What happened?
     The function module "POSS_UIREQ_OPT_SUBMIT" is called,
     but cannot be found in the library.
     Error in the ABAP Application Program
     The current ABAP program "SAPLSTXC" had to be terminated because it has
     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
     An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
     The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FUNC', was
      not caught in
     procedure "OPEN_FORM" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
     Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
     exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
     The reason for the exception is:
     The program "SAPLSTXC" contains the CALL FUNCTION statement.
     The name of the function module to be called is "POSS_UIREQ_OPT_SUBMIT".
     No function module exists with the name "POSS_UIREQ_OPT_SUBMIT".
     All function modules are listed in the Function Library (SE37).
Possible reasons:
a) Wrong name specified. Pay particular attenti
    upper/lower case and underscores ("_").
    or
b) Transport error
c) In the case of an enqueue/dequeue module,
    the lock object may not have been activated
    (ABAP/4 Dictionary).
When i tried to check function module it is not there..
Could you please help on this?

Support Packs in Solution manager

Hi,
I have a query, when I am going to select patches through maintenance optimizer for solution manager I can see the source and target stack level at SMP and when I am putting the source stack(17) and the target stack as latest, solution manager 7.0 EHP 1-23 and going further for download it shows the support packs corresponding to release 701 but not to 700, as my current support pack level for solman is 16(release 700) and I can see there are support pack level up to 21 for release 700, I am confused why it is not taking account the remaining patches for 700 or can I switch directly to 701 and apply the support packs corresponding to release 701.
Regards,
Mridul

Dear Mirdul,
Check SAP note 1169247. In which it is mentioned that:
ABAP stack requirements
      You can start the SAINT update from any Solution Manager 7.0 ABAP Stack.
Java stack requirements
      A direct JSPM update to Solution Manager 7.0 Java Stack 18 and higher is not possible from some of the Java stacks. Therefore, proceed as follows: First, use the JSPM update to update the Java stack only to Solution Manager 7.0 Java stack 17 and then update to the relevant Solution Manager 7.0 Enhancement Package 1 Java stack.
      Take the numbering into account: Solution Manager 7.0 Java stack 17 contains NetWeaver 7.0 Java stack 16.
Also, check point number 5 in that.
I think now it will be clear.
Thanks

Basis Support package level of ECC 6.0

Dear All,
I use SAP Version ECC 6.0 (700 Kernel, 64bit) Database SQL.
My question is what should be the support package level of ECC 6.0? SAP recommends for the latest support package level always. But, whether the latest support package level will be stable?
We are in the blue print stage now, I haven't received any requirement from the fuctionals for the support package upgrade.
We have modules like, SD, MM, FI, FICO, HR, PS and CS.
Anyone worked with these modules who can provide me, the particular components related to these modules with the stable support pack level.
Thanks in Advance,
Abu Sandeep

Hi,
Yes, for a new installation always go for the last support packages.
After going live, NEVER, NEVER apply support packages without qualifying them for YOUR company in a test system. It takes a lot of time to do non regression tests but it is mandatory IMHO.

Olivier

Support Pack Status not updated in System Component Information

Hi Experts,
We have installed ECC 6.0 with Ehp3 and AFS 603 on AIX 6.1 and db6 V 9.1. We recently added the Vistex Incentive and Payback Module and Vistex Global Functions Add Ons. After the base install the Support pack 1-4 were applied for both Vistex components. For IRMGLB the status screen (System/Status) shows the SP highest Level = 03, while in SPAM screen it shows that Support Pack for for the Component IRMGLB is imported successfully.Because of this we can not apply the remaining Support Packs. For the other component (IRMIPM) Support Pack level 04 is correctly displayed.
Any idea what are we missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Suhail

For future referers, Vistex says its a known issue.
Hello,
It is a known issue but it would not impact any of the functionality.
It can only be fixed in the subsequent release with conjunction with
SAP.
Thanks,
Vistex Support
