Install the latest Service Pack and Cumulative Update

Hi Expert,
I am installing SAP on SQL SERVER 2008 R2. The database software installation is done,but as per
installation guide it is recommending to install "Service Pack and Cumulative Update" as SAP Notes 62988
Please suggest me if i donot install service pack then will it impact our installation?
Please relply ASAP.

Its always recommanded to have your database at patch level and cummulative update supported by SAP.
If you don't perform now then you have to take again downtime to perform this activity.

SAP List of Supported SQL Server Service Packs and Cumulative Updates

Does SAP provide a list of SQL Server Service Packs and Cumulative Updates that will work with BPC 7.0 and 7.5? I see that CU 12 is out for SP1 and CU 2 is out for SP2. I would like to know if I can move the SP2 CU2 or SP1 CU12. My install docs are outdated specifying SP1 CU6.
Any direction is appreciated.
Joe

Hi,
Please take a look at the below list of the supported OS: This excerpt is from the installation guide.
SP04 or later: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition with or without Hyper-V
Windows Server 2008 Standard or Enterprise Edition with or without Hyper-V, or
Windows Server 2008 Data Center with or without Hyper-V
Windows Server 2003 Standard or Enterprise Edition SP2
Windows Server 2003 Standard configured on the SQL database or OLAP server components only
Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition SP2
SAP recommends using Windows Server 2008 64 bit over Windows Server 2003 64 bit. Otherwise, supportability is limited.
I am not sure what did you mean by the front end. Having said that, 32 bit is supported both on the server and the client machines.
Hope this helps.

Hi Stephan,
I wanted to add onto Zeev's precise answer.
First of all we appreciate your feedback, we will look into why the above mentioned links are not updated as expected.
Regretfully our SDN page is a bit outdated and we are in the midst of updating it.
Currently, AccAD 2.2 SP4 as available for download and has already been adopted by some of the main SAP customers and in addition by new customers.
The release notes indicating the differences can be found as part of the installations but I hope to provide the 2.2 SP4 notes later this week - in a formal SDN announcement.
Further more as for additional updates:
- AccAD 2.3 is currently undergoing validation phase and is expected to enter Ramp Up phase in October of 2011.
- AccAD 2.3 as with every version brings with it new capabilities and increased performance and quality as well as a more up-to-date PAM.
- We are currently in the planning phase of the next AccAD version to begin development very soon and would be very happy to hear the feedback that you or any other of our customer base may have. To do so, I encourage you to contact me directly - as i cannot post an email address here - my details can be found in my business card found in this forum.
- We will be attending and presenting at SAP TechEd Las Vegas and TechEd Sapphire Madrid - we would be happy to meet up in case you will be present.
All the Best,
Smadar

Xsd:choice and how to download the latest service pack?

Hello -
When i import my XSD, the completed XSD doesn't import. Found that the xsd:choice is preventing the complete XSD to load.
So i found that the from the Administration part of the Integration Builder the Software build has the SP-Number as 10 but when i look at the SPAM i find that latest service packs have been applied which is 0016.
Does anyone know how and from where to download the latest service pack for my problem?
Thanks in advance,

CR 2011 INTL UPGR WIN NUL LICENSE - 1 to 2 Licenses, mix and match.
Does this version have maintenance rights?
I tried registering at Service MarketPlace hoping to get new S-User ID; Am i right path to get the new S- USerID ?
During registering it asked for "Customer or Installation Number (1) *" ; Where can i get this info or number; Kindly suggest

Should I run a Full Crawl after running psconfig after updating Sp2013 with a Service Pack or Cumulative Update

Hi
Should I run a full crawl after I have performed a Service Pack Update or Cumulative Update and run psconfig wizard?
The best practise coming out of Microsoft says you should only run a full crawl after a configuration change.
You should then run a continuous crawl thereafter.
The question then becomes is a Service Pack Update / Cumulative Update followed by psconfig wizard (or the PowerShell equivalent) considered to be a configuration change.
We were recently advised by Microsoft to install the July 2014 CU (and then run psconfig).
After that the continuous search did not pick up newly created files until a full crawl was run.
So should I run a full crawl after I have installed a Service Pack or Cumulative Update and run psconfig ?
Thanks
Nigel

Hi Nigel,
The situations when you need to do full crawl is listed here,
A Search service application has just been created and the preconfigured content source
Local SharePoint sites have not been crawled yet.
Some other content source is new and has not been crawled yet.
A software update or service pack was installed on servers in the farm. See the instructions for the software update or service pack for more information.
A Search service application administrator, site collection administrator or tenant administrator added a new managed property or changed an existing managed property. A full crawl is required for the new or changed managed property to take effect.
You want to detect security changes that were made to local groups on a file share after the last full crawl of the file share.
You want to resolve consecutive incremental crawl failures. If an incremental crawl fails a large number of consecutive times at any level in a repository, the system removes the affected content from the search index.
Crawl rules have been added, deleted, or modified.
You want to repair a corrupted search index.
The credentials for the user account that is assigned to the default content access account have changed. A full crawl is required only if the permissions of this user account have changed.
My opinion is, it is always better to do a full crawl after a successful installation of service packs or product upgrades.

Just tried to install the latest firmware version and the screen has been grey for the last 30 mins, any ideas what to do now?

..Step by Step to fix your Mac

I have installed the latest OS Lion and now a number of applications do not work. How and where do I go to get back to Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Restore from the backups you made before upgrading.

Please could somebody help? Aperture will not open - has a coloured spinning disc prior to opening the program correctly. I have the latest Snow Leopard update on a Mini Mac. I have "successfully installed" the latest Aperture 3.1.2 update.

I am running the latest OS version and uploaded the latest version of Aperture 3.1.2 all successfully installed. I have all my photos (say 12000 files) stored on a RAID WD (MyBook) external hard-drive and I assume that that has the latest software update Wd 2.25. I have previously had problems with Aperture's external referencing - which drops out frustratingly, I was in the middle of a major import of photos when the spinning rainbow ball appeared. I am now unable to open Aperture.
I have tried rebooting to no change.
Help please?

Colin-
Thanks for the detailed info. One additional question, how full is each hard drive? The internal and external drives' % full.
Step one is to change the import workflow. Even though lots of manuals inappropriately lead folks in that direction, one should never import directly into Aperture or any other images management app. Instead, in this exact order:
• Restart the Mini (to clear possible memory leaks of the limiting 2-GB of RAM).
• Create a folder ("abc") for the incoming images. Since you are on a Mini you will want to be referencing Masters with the Library on the Mini's hard drive and the Masters on your external RAID array. The abc folder should be created on the RAID.
• Connect a card reader with the camera card in it. The camera card should show on the desktop. If it does not show, restart the Mini with the reader and card still plugged in. You can of course use the camera directly in this step, but I do not recommend it. Obviously cameras like the iPad do require direct camera-to-computer uploading.
• Drag the contents of the card's image folder(s) to the abc folder that you previously created on the hard drive.
• Review the abc folder contents to be sure they all copied properly.
• Software-eject the camera card.
• Physically disconnect the camera card reader from the Mini. This step is important to help avoid all-too-common human error.
• Again review the abc folder contents to be sure they are indeed all there (because stuff happens sometimes...).
• Back up the abc folder contents on to another drive.
• Review the files on the backup to be sure they all copied properly.
• At any time after but not before the previous step you can reformat the camera card in-camera. Do not delete images on the card using the computer.
• Start Aperture and only have Aperture running (due to your limited 2 GB RAM).
• Import the images from folder abc into Aperture, selecting "Store Files: In their current location" on the right-hand side of the import window.
Some generic advice I posted in another thread:
Aperture is a heavy pro graphics app that is very demanding of hardware. Your Mac's CPU, GPU, i/o and RAM are all limiting to Aperture so we need to do what we can to optimize. Some steps:
• Set Previews to only be built manually, and only tell Aperture to build Previews when you are not otherwise editing in Aperture. I suggest setting the size of Previews to be the pixel dimensions of your display.
• Keep the internal drive underfilled for speed, which sooner or later usually requires using a Referenced-Masters-Library with Masters on external drives. Back up originals before importing into Aperture or any other images app.
• The Aperture Library should be on an internal drive.
• Turn off Share Previews with iLife and iWork.
• Remember that HDs slow as they fill and keep the internal drive underfilled. Approx. 70% full _maximum_ is a good guideline.
• If page outs increase significantly during operation, max out RAM and/or try to run Aperture by itself. On my C2D MBP with its max of 3 GB RAM I always did a restart prior to a heavy Aperture session to clear any memory leaks and make sure no other apps were open. Browsers in particular will often suck RAM Aperture would otherwise be using.
IMO all Aperture users who can should routinely bump RAM to at least 8 GB.
• Some users have observed that it can take a new Aperture installation time (weeks) to stabilize on slow computers. So do not panic; and allow Aperture to continue background work by not fully shutting down the computer.

Any number of possibilities.
What happens when you try? Or don't you know how?

Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates

I would like to find a document that would help me understand and clarify Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates versions and relationships.
Things like. Cumulative Updates include old Security Updates. Cumulative Updates do not overwrite applied Security Updates, etc.
For instance,
I am upgrading a server from: 10.0.5512 (SQL 2008 SP3, After Security Update MS12-70) To: 10.0.5861 (SQL 2008 SP3 CU17).
Would the MS12-70 (2754849) I installed still be present after installing CU17? The reason for doubt was that I saw another version of MS12-70 that includes
CU 1 to 7(KB2716435). So makes me wonder about it.
I am probably not able to explain myself right but, the idea is to find a document that can explain how the build information and versioning works.
Some how I have the idea that Cumulative updates would not include Security Updates.
Thanks beforehand
Paulino

Hi,
Below will give you list of Service packs and Cumulative updates for SQL Server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321185
http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.co.uk/
Security updates are for Windows not SQL Server. SQL server releases Cumulative updates after that a comprehensive service pack is released which includes all fixes that were done in Cumulative updates.
Cumulative updates fix only a certain type of problem(for which they are created) and should only be applied if facing issue
Service packs are more through and Inclusive and should be applied and contains many fixes and sometimes introduces few features as well. SP are more thoroughly tested as compared to CU For Cumulative
update from Microsoft:
We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment.
This cumulative package is intended to correct only the problems that are described in this article. Apply it only to systems that are experiencing these specific problems.
This cumulative update contains all the hotfixes and all the updates that were included with the previous SQL Server 2014 update release.
Windows patch has hardly any relation to SQL server SP and CU.
Please mark this reply as answer if it solved your issue or vote as helpful if it helped so that other forum members can benefit from it.

Edition Migration and Cumulative Updates

Hello all,
I have migrated a SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition with CU4 to SQL Server 2014 BI Edition. The BI-Edition has been installed from the RTM-Media. Do I have to apply the cumulative update again?
All services show the correct edition (BI) and version number (CU4). So may I assume that everything is correct?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Gerald

Hello,
You need to reapply all service packs and cumulative updates since SQL Server setup will remove any updates as part of
the edition upgrade process.
Examine the Summary.txt log file to verify everything upgraded fine. The following article will help you locate the file
on disk.

Crystal 11 - Latest Service Pack loaded - problem with Kyocera printer

Post Author: sorrock
CA Forum: Integrated Solutions
Hi
We are using Crystal 11 Report Writer, and Sage ACCPAC. Since Upgrading our ACCPAC all the crystal reports that ACCPAC utilises are coming up as garbage on the preview screen. I have ruled out a sage issue by opening crystal directly and opening the respective report, the garbage still appears, if I change the printer that it is set to then the report appears fine.
The printer is a Kyocera - fs-c8026n the driver is a Kyocera Mita extended Driver.
Any other printer is fine - so I am looking for anyone who has had problems with a Kyocera printing garbage.
I have loaded the latest service pack for Crystal.
Can anyone please help - apologies if I have put this on the incorrect forum
Thanks
Stacey

Hi Jim,
You can upgrade to CR XI R2 for free by downlaoding the trial version, install using your XI keycode and then getting a keycode for XI R2 to enable all features.
Or to upgrade XI only then install the latest service pack will bring you up to date.
Thank you
Don

Install the latest Service Pack and Cumulative Update
