Installation server patches

i have recently patched our installation server 7.10 frompatch level 0 to 7, is it possible to roll back to the old patch level as i am having problems upgrading workstations now

Nothing, thas my fisrt installation of any product on that machine. I just installed the oracle software and later create the database.
And i try to import a dump file and i get IMP-03 IMP-17 and ORA-922, i think thats happen because i need the PATCH installed.
Tks,
Elber.

SAPGUI 7.10 Installation Server Patching Problem

Hello,
A while back I was having a problem with patching a SAPGUI 710 installation server. A suggestion from the forum was that the version of the SAP Download Manager I was using could be corrupting the patch. So I downloaded and installed the latest SAP Download Manager, downloaded the GUI patch and was then able to apply the GUI patch to the Installation Server. Now I am seeing the same sort of problem with trying to apply the recently released BI and BW patches to the 710 installation server. When I run the SAPSetupAdmin.exe tool, select "Patch Server", browse to the patch and select "Next" to apply the patch, nothing happens. I reinstalled the latest Download Manager, but no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom Grantham

Hi All,
I opened up an OSS message with SAP. The response is below. Changing the extension from EXE to exe fixed the problem.

Dear Mr. Grantham,
There have been rare reports of the latest download manager not
resolving the issue. I have just been updated from a development supportcolleague there is a small issue with the patch extensions which
prohibits NwSapSetupAdmin from applying the patches.
With the patches that you have currently downloaded could you try
renaming the extension to lower case only please (.EXE to .exe) and thenapply the patches.
If the patches still cannot be applied then could you kindly try
downloading and applying the patches for BW & BI from the SAPmats links
below:
BW350GUI710_1_10004473.exe
https://sapmats-de.sap-ag.de/download/download.
cgi?id=AC2WQZ8ABBYCGNF3DY0KU7AXXXX3HWGKL5EF9HHR78DRX8MUYM
BI710_1_10004472.exe

step is to create gui package using those patches. 9)Click on
SAPADMIN.exe, click on apply patch and the patches are applied in the
following order Setup patch, gui patch, BW patch. 10) Click on Browse

I would like to know, what is the equivalent procedure for SAPGUI 7.10
and where can I find document about it?

Try this guide:

Installation Server Corruption when applying a Patch

I have setup a installation server with 7.10 gui. I have twice tried to apply a patch, the first time bw350gui710_1 patch, the second time was the gui710_4 patch. Both times my installation server was corrupted to the point where I had to delete it and rebuild it.
When I called NWSAPSETUPADMIN I got a System Invalid Cast Exception and it showed that I had no components on my installation server.

Tried a few more times and it worked.

Hello Satish,
I guess when you installed SP1 for SQL server 2012 you missed to apply for Analysis service .Now what you have to do is first run SQL serevr 2012 SP1 setup and update Anaysis service to latest SP i.e SP1 .After you are done with SP1 installation for
Analysis service then proceed with SQL server 2012 CU3 installation

Can't apply patch level 14 to installation server

I'm trying to apply patch level 14 to the installation server using the nwsapsetupadmin tool. I have installed previous patches with no problem, and I have just installed the Business Explorer patch with no problem. But patch 14 for SAP GUI 7.10 fails.
I click Patch Server.
I select the patch. (gui710_14-10002995.exe)
It extracts and validates the patch.
I click Next to apply the patch.
I see a splash screen and a black cmd window appears for a split second.
Then nothing. Here I should see a progress bar while the patch installs.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Tom

Hello ALL...
for the reason you must have a look in the NWSAPSETUPADMIN.log...
Or you open an OSS MESSAGE in BC-FES-INS and attach there the log files from
your installation server.
Then i can have al ook at this and can support you.
A possible reason is that the patch is already installed on the server...
Or an exception is raised in the .NET framework...
All is possible, but it is very hard to analyse without the logfiles.
Best Regards, Sven

Applying BW 3.50 patch 3 for sapgui 7.10 to a installation server

Hi All
Im applying a few patches to a 7.10 installation server, everything works fine , except for when applying the BW 3.50 patch 3 for 7.10 GUI to the server .. well applying the patch actually works , but afterwards instead of having only 2 products to choose from on the first hierarchy level (Business Explorer and SAP GUI for Windows 7.10), there is suddenly 6 products instead (SAPGUI for windows 7.10, Engineering client viewer, bw 3.5 addon, kw addon, tweak gui and business explorer).
The real question is .. before applying the patches, I had a package called "complete" which included both available products, after applying 3.50 bw patch, the original package still contains the same two products, but is that adequate ?? or should a new package be created that includes ALL products available after the patch ?
Or .... is the original package completely patched ??
I have never before seen a patch apply additional products to the installation server ....
/Kim

Hi Kim Sonny,
nice to hear from you ....
Ok, please check the note
#1131768 and
#1155445 !
I recommend you to set up a new installation server with the new compilation 3 CD of
sapgui 710 ! And for this please look into the note #1266552

SAP Installation Server not patching client pc's after patching itself

Hi
We have setup Installation Server and used it to deploy SAP GUI successfully to client pc's. We encountered a problem in trying to update the installation server with patch level 22. After the patch SAP reported that numerous files or folders were missing on the installation source. Also the client pc GUI's would then display a message saying that a newer version of the GUI was available and would prompt for a response. "Yes" would appear to reinstall the GUI and would give an error afterwards and a "no" would do nothing, only asking to reinstall the next time round.
We tried to remove the installation server and reinstall it using a different share name. After removing the old share the client GUI's would no longer prompt but also do not update correctly. We again tried to reinstall the installation server to the old share name and although the clients do not prompt, they also do not update; plus the installation server still shows a patch 22 as being applied!
Is there any way to roll back the installation server completely (i.e. before the patch level)? If not what could I check to make sure that the installation server at least updates the client GUI's correctly?

We did some tests again to try piece together what happened. The only thing that seems to have happened is that someone had removed the installation package that the clients were using although we can't be sure if that was the problem.
We were about to reinstall on the share when we decided to try to update the patch level once more. The strange thing seems that after we patched the Installation Server to level 23 the clients were responding correctly to the IS again! Since then they have been able to update with seemingly no issues.

GUI 7.20 patch install from Installation server causes PC to always reboot

Hi All
Each time i patch my Installation server I have an issue. Yesterday i downloaded PL8 for GUI 7.20, patched my server.
My workstation for the notfication of an udate, so i clicked YES install, system reboots and installs. ALL WORKS!!
But if a user does not click yes to update, ignores the message. The patch gets installed later on its own and reboots the desktop but it just cycles restarts. The PC will boot up until it gets to the login screen, then restarts, will do this for hours straight!!
Its happen to me the last 3 patches. The fix i've been doing is booting to safe mode, removing the GUI and then reinstalling and all works fine.
Like i said, people who are notified of updates and click YES are ok, its all the others where the GUI self installs the issue arises.
Any tips? I currently have a PC on my desk doing it, i would like a work around instead of remove/reinstall of GUI.

NwSapSetupEngine.dll:     8.6.1.62
   NwSapSetupATLCommon.dll:     8.6.1.62
          NwSapSetupUi.dll:     8.6.1.62
            NwSapFeiUt.dll:     8.6.1.62
And i patched my server with Patch 8 and my Gui is the following
MAIN MODULE INFORMATION:
   saplogon.exe
   SAP Logon for Windows
   720 Final Release
   7200.3.8.1067
   1271051
And thats patch 8? So why the heck isnt the files properly coming down?
I also checked the file version on my installation server is its the same 8.6.1.62, yet i have patch level 8 running.
Let me try to reinstall patch 8 on the install server
SO the install server complained that no new patches were found and again the main screen tells me Patch level 8 in the install server.
Is their a hot fix to PL 8? Maybe thats what im missing?

Installation Server and Windows 7 - Admin Rights Issue

Here is a good one. Completely reproducible error when granting Local Admin Rights by the LSH Service.
For those with SAPGui Installation Server (SAPGui 7.20 Patch 6 or above) ... try this on a Windows 7 SP1 front end when you are NOT logged on with local admin rights.
1) Open the Windows RUN dialog
2) Type path to your installation server\setup\nwsapsetup.exe
3) You should find the install wizard starts (granting local admin rights) as expected.
NOW TRY THIS
1) Type path to your installation server\setup\nwsapsetup.exe /uninstall
2) You will find that you get a dialog about can't grant admin rights. Un-install will abort.
This only appears to happen with the /uninstall switch! Using /product= for example it will still grant admin rights.
BIZZARE ...
I've opened a Customer Support Message (Friday) priority - MEDIUM have not heard back from SAP Support yet.
Bob

Jude,
Thanks, it looks like that note has been getting a lot of update activity lately because the newly released Patch 8 has nwsapsetup.exe as version: 8.6.1.62 and that version also has the issue with the /nnnnnn switches.
I do have to say however, that this issue with nwsapsetup.exe and admin rights (requiring SapSetup.exe_Patch) first appeared with the release of Patch 6 for the Gui. It was fixed for WinXP (I had a customer support message opened on this). So why didn't anyone also test on Win7?
Who is QA-ing these software releases?
Patch 8 had the same problem.
The change log for SapSetup.exe_Patch, is up to 8.1.6.70 now.
How are we in large enterprises to feel comfortable deploying any of this?
End of rant ....
Bob
P.S. I really appreciate your presence here ... the tech assigned to my formal Support Message on the matter still has not gotten back advising of the updated release of SapSetup.exe_Patch.

I think I did something weird with foundation/server patching

We've built many SP sites over the last 3 years. We're now moving in to 2013. most of our sites are 2010.
For the old sites, both myself and my colleagues were just learning on the fly how to deploy and patch. Over the years we've gained a better understanding of both.
Something I've done though in the past, i don't know how it affects the deployments and I was wondering if someone could shed some light on it.
We used SharePoint server with internet, mostly. When patching, we saw that there were two sets of patches, foundation and server.
We didn't have a full understanding of both but now do. They are stand alone products. However, we though they were component levels of the same installation, and for years we've been applying both the foundation patches, and the server patches
right behind that. It's worked fine. We've never received any errors about patching.
Now that I know better, i'm only deploying server patches to the new 2013 deployments.
I was asked to add a 3rd server to one of our old farms. I ran in to a patching mismatch warning when trying to join the farm. This made me think about how we patched foundation and server even though we're running server. One of the warnings
was that those foundation patches were missing.
So I restarted and used the exact same patches and it worked fine. Still, i'm wondering what the overall impact of our old patching methods has on the product?
My hope is that everything in SP foundation is part of SP server, so the patches I made, assuming the same level of patching, only duplicated patching effort, and there are no technical drawbacks to having patched foundation then server on the same environment.
Anyone know?

Hi,
There are some different patches for SharePoint, to better understanding the different patches, I think you can have a look at the following articles which contains the different patches in SharePoint.
Hey! Should I install this SharePoint patch?
http://www.toddklindt.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=433
For example, the “cumulative” part means if you install the August 2012 CU you don’t need install the June 2012 CU first.
CUs are also cumulative in the sense that the SharePoint Server patch includes the patches for SharePoint Foundation.
The Project Server CU includes the SharePoint Server and SharePoint Foundation patches as well. You only need to install the CU for the product you have.
This is a welcome change from SharePoint 2007 where we had to stack the patches.
Also, CUs contains the patches for all the supported languages which is why they’re so large.
Thanks,
Jason

No update of Business Explorer 3.50 and SCM via Installation Server 6.40

Dear all
We use SAP Installation Server 6.40 to deploy SAP Front End 6.40 and updates. For new installations, target systems will get the latest version of SAP GUI 6.40 (PL 27), Business Explorer 3.50 (PL 13) and Supply Chain Management add-on (PL 6).
On existing installations only SAP GUI will be patched resp. updated. Business Explorer 3.50 and Supply Chain Management add-on will not be patched by Installation Server. We have checked this by local installation of patch (patch level 13, your present patch level 4). What is going wrong? Has anyone a hint how I can solve this problem?
Thanks
PK

Hi. I'm think first you need to chek this :
Viewing the Log
Use
You can check the installation by viewing the log file sapsetup.log. The log file can be found in:
C:\WINDOWS\ under Windows XP
C:\WINNT\ under Windows 2000
The most recent log has no number. The older logs are numbered. The higher the number, the older the log. Each time new log is generated, each of the log numbers is incremented by 1.
Procedure
1. Run saplogvw.exe from the server, to start the SAPSetup Log Viewer.
2. Enter the path and filename of the log file.
3. Choose Finish.
The log file is displayed. Errors are colored red. Warnings are colored blue.
Also run this in command line
sapsetup.exe /check
Regards.

How to apply Content server patch

Hi,
How do I apply a Content server patch on Solaris. The Content server installed is 6.40
I followed the OSS Note Note 514500 - Importing Support Packages for the SAP Content Server.
It says Replace the Shared Libraries in the directory "libexec" of your Content Server/Cache Server installation against the files from the ZIP archive.
I do not find libexec directory on Content Server in <sid>csc user and <sid>cs user. Based on this, I have the following questions.
1- Can you please let me know, where can I get this directory libexec.
2- Also please let me know, how can I get the latest patch version of my content server 6.40
3- Can anyone provide me OSS Notes, help URL for Content Server 6.40 on Unix flavour (solaris etc)
Thanks,

Dear Abdul,
It looks like your installation is not complete, please recheck.
1) You will find the libexec in the installation directory of the <sid>cs and <sid>csc folders.
2) I have successfully applied the patch for the same using the SAP Note no: 514500 and its updated successfully.
3) Steps in breif
3.1) Stop the apache server
3.2) Extract the downloaded patch on your local desktop, which extarcts few .so files
3.3) Thru any FTP client (winscp) copy the files on the local desktop to the folde /<sid>cs/libexec folder
3.4) Set the permissions to 755
3.5) Start the Apache server
3.6) Goto CSAdmin on your R3 system and check the version change in the Overview Tab under Version, Build and pVersion sections
Hope this helps

SAP Installation Server & GUI 7.10 Remote Installation

Hello!
We have installed an SAP Installation Server (8.1.0.104) with SAP GUI 7.10 (Patch 9) and created a package for SAP GUI. On our old installation server there was a "remote installation" button, but here on the new version, we cannot see it. Have there been some significant changes?
Thanks for helpful answers!

I had basically the same question about remote installing the gui. Here is a response from OSS about it.
I am sorry but we do not provide a Client Push Installation mechanism.
but only a method to pull a package from an installation server.
Using for instance
<SERVER>\<***>\sapsetup /update /silent
for a pull scenario.
As stated in note 507996, tool like SMS can be used but you you use
the [nw]Sapsetup option
thanx
