EHP4 Support Packages installation question

I am running EHP4 SP03 and want to upgrade to Stack 04. Do I still use EHPI? The documentation states to use this tool but I thought EHPI was used for upgrade of EHP4....
What is the difference then and what happens during a repository swtich which seems like overkill over something as simple as a SPAM transaction?
All documentation point to using EHPI ut also states you can use SPAM/SAINT? So what gives?
Thanks

Hi,
In order to upgrade from EHP4 SP03 to EHP4 SP04, you can use SPAM to upgrade. You need not to use EHPI installer again.
Only thing you need is stack xml file which you can again download from MOPZ in solman.
Thanks

CRM 5.0 - Middleware issues after Support Package installation

Hi experts,
after upgrading the support package (from version 11 to version 17) we are facing a lot of issues.
1. We need to synchronize custom tables from CRM to R/3.
Can you give me an example on how to configure table SMOFQFIND/CRMMAPTAB for inbound queues CRI*?
We know we have to do but we don't know how.
2. We need to synchronize standard tables from R/3 to CRM.
Do you know we have to do some new configuration in SMOFQFIND/CRMMAPTAB table?
With the older version of SP we were'nt asked to configure those tables.
It has worked up to now
Thank you in advance
Emanuele

Hi,
We have the exact the same issue her using the 0DAT variable to restrict to the system date (in the filter process of the APD).
Did anyone resolve this issue?
Thanks,

Hi Vamshidhar,
Check whether the option of disassembling data files is switched on.
Go to transaction SPAM
Go to Extra --> Settings
Check whether the user <sid>adm has write authorization for the
directory /usr/sap/trans/cofiles.
The Add-On Installation Tool requires that the Change and Transport
System (CTS) be configured correctly.

Could someone reply, Does the Language import must for Support package installation ?.
Now Spam screen says that `Main import ` on the screen.
Thanks
Thirumal

Hi Vani,
Thank you very much,
SAP_Basis package has been successfully completed. As u said language import not required to update support packages.
It took me around 7 hours to complete the update.Now i have started the Rest of the Business package.
It seems its totally killing my time. I think it shouldnot take this much time to complete a single package I need to install other packages like .
SAP_ABA, PI_Basis,SAP_BW and ST_PI.
Hi Vamshi,
   Thank you. Finally package completed.
Thanks and Regards

Embedded BI - System Upgrade, Support Package application and so on

Since Netweaver '04, SAP R/3 and SAP BW/SEM were separated system.
Now, with Netweaver 2004s and the "embedded BI", they are unified on the same installation.
1)The upgrade operations for R/3 and BW are separated or in the same package?
So, support package installation is cumulative?
2)When R/3 is down for upgrade/support pack---> BW is Down?
When BW is down for upgrade/support pack---> R/3 is Down?
3) System crash is cumulative?
Points for every useful answer,
Thank you, Claudio

The whole scenario depends upon if you are using embedded BI or a stand alone BI.
1)The upgrade operations for R/3 and BW are separated or in the same package?
So, support package installation is cumulative?
In either case upgrade operations are separated
2)When R/3 is down for upgrade/support pack---> BW is Down?
When BW is down for upgrade/support pack---> R/3 is Down?
embedded BI - Yes as being on the same instance
stand alone No, upgrade is independent on a technical/application standpoint
3) System crash is cumulative?
embedded BI - Yes
stand alone NO

Hi ,
Seems that you have not defined the queue in SAP system. Please make sure that you have uncar all the components and put it under /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in directory.
in SPAN load all the components via support packs-> load components from application server in 000 client and then define the queue in a order so that you can import SPs in system.
Thanks..

Support Package question.

Hi Experts,
Someone know how can I check what is the last support package that I need to install in my system and database?
Thanks for the help!

Hi Carlos,
This depends on lot many factors.
1 Basis suggestion
2. Functional consultants suggestion as if they required lot many notes to be implemented in the system and they are part of Support pack then it need to be implements.
3. Your licensing with SAP
4. SAP recommendation, which you can find by raising OSS, or on customer support portal, or through searching in OSS notes.
5. Business people
As after applying support pack the system need to be tested for lot many functionality, (SPAU, syntax checks, etc) so the decision is a collaborative decision.
Please let me know if you have further query.
Reward points if helpful.

Question about OSS Notes, Archiving and Support Packages

does anyone know if all the OOS notes related to archiving programs corrections (category like "performances", "program error", "advance developments",
"legal functions", "corrections of legal functions", "problem", "exit added", "special developments"...) are all automatically appllied on SAP when a support packages is installed?
Thank you

Looks like the only requirement is Vcenter and Vsphere 4 client. So version 4.0 and up is supported.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/application_networking_manager/5.1/device_support/table/sdt.html
ANM 5.2 and 5.1 includes a plug-in that allows you to integrate ANM into a VMware virtual data center environment. VMware is a third-party product for creating and managing virtual data centers. Using VMware vSphere Client, you can access ANM functionality and manage the ACE real servers that provide load-balancing services for the virtual machines in your virtual data center.
To use the ANM 5.2/5.1 plug-in, you must use VMware vCenter Server and VMware vSphere Client 4.
For more information about using ANM in a VMware virtual data center environment, see the User Guide for the Cisco Application Networking Manager 5.2/5.1.

A dummy question - download support package

Hi:
I am downloading a support package for a sandbox system, and I need to download a support package.
After I add it to my download basket, it says pending approval.
I read the help it seems need to approve it via solution manager optimizer.
I talked with my basis and he seems has no knowledge about it. I have no access to my solution manger system, so could anyone let me know what is the step to approve the download? Is it difficult? I will then let my basis approve it.
Thanks.
Eric

Hi ERIC,
Configure your satellite system in maintenance optimizer (in solman) .
Maintain RFC connection (sm59)
maintain your sap oss user name and password in RFC DESTINATIIN (SAP-OSS)
then run tc.ode solution_manager
choose ur system
create New Maintenance Transaction
enter your server details
after finish this steps you can fine the ID in the screen MAINTENANCE TRANSACTION.
click that ID
now click "confirm file is download busket".
Hope this will help you.

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 package requierement for unicode conversion

We are currently planning a unicode conversion for a SAP 4.7enterprise 1.1 extension version, running under Aix and Oracle, Basis/ABAP SP 35, HR SP20.
According to the conversion guide, we must implement at least Support Pachage 60 for Abap and Basis, no explicit requierement for HR SP level.
I believed that we must applied SAP procedure and exclusively HR Support Package Stack up to 27, which include SP 60 for Basis and Abap and HR 61.
Our HR guys argue there is no indication from SAP that the SUPPORT PACKAGE STACK policy is mandatory and that SAP will provide us with normal support if we run the unicode conversion with SP Basis/ABAP 60, in other word even if we do not respect the support package stack combinaison. Need help on this issue before starting the project

Exterprise 4.7 is Unicode-Compliant,meaning that you can have unicode in 4.7.
If that the case, you should convert to 4.7 Enterprise Ext 2.00 Unicode First.
later only upgrade to ECC 6.0 after 2 years, as you said.
My answer is yes, to your question.
You can download the installation kits at:
http://service.sap.com/swdc
anyway, it is recommended to have the latest SP in your system.
cheers,
Vincent

Support Package pre-requistis accross different landscapes

I am struggling with which landscape but be patched before another since adding PI 711 into the mix.
I am supporting ECC6 EHP4 with NW701, BI 70 at Netweaver 70, Solution Manager 70 Ehp1 and now PI 71 ehp1.
I have been told PI must lead all other landscapes support package level but with it being at a later version of Netweaver than all other landscapes it is a far comparison or does it already lead them?
My immediate need is to begin planning for a support package project on the ECC6 EHP4 landscape in the fall. Since this landscape was last patch, about one year ago we add the PI landscape.
It is a pretty safe bet I will be struggling with this same question in about 6 months when I start looking at a BI support package project.
Any help that could be provided on this would be most appriciated.
Bill

I think we need to understand more why you feel certain systems need to be patched first or in a certain order
- from what you say there must be technical concerns across more than one product area
Perhaps it could be that --->
Generally systems that interact with one another should be on the same BASIS level and SP stack - the general rule of thumb
Products such as SLD definately have to be on systems with equivalent or higher BASIS version and SP stack than systems
they interact with because the content created for a Netweaver 700 SLD
may not be able to cope data supplier information from a Netweaver EHP1 system (this also raise other concerns regarding
exporting data between SLDs - again equivalency - or higher for target system is recommended, sometimes with SLD lower BASIS version source systems may have limited export options as well)
Products such a Solution Manager also as a rule of thumb have to be on equivalent or higher BASIS version or SP levels
than the systems they interact with
But PI also may have similiar concerns because they manage communication between systems e.g business systems
However lets take say Payroll in ECC without any ESS or Legacy Systems, ALE
- totally standalone payroll system - the only rules that apply there are that it works, has the latest fixes and required legal changes and follows a recommended stack - no BASIS equivalency level between other systems may exist in order for payroll to carry out its purpose
Does this help clarify further ?
Best wishes
Stuart
