Patch Level Report Extraction

Hi there,
From an internal auditors' stand point, is there a way to check patch level of a SUN Solaris 10 servers? The goal of this check is to ensure that the servers are up-to-date with all latest patches.
Thanks,
V

XL reporter error SB1 Patch level 11 on server 2008

Good Morning Everyone,
XL reporter error on patch level 11, server 2008:
Unable to connect to XL Reporter
Error! Server communication failed:
Cause: Error! Unable to get document! Type: 36
Cause: Application-defined or object-defined error
I have referred to the note 1304722( upgrade to P47), but is there any work around?

Dear Gordon,
No I am not. I do know there is a fix on Patch 47, but I wanted to know if there was a work around. They will be upgrading to 8.8, but for now I though maybe someone had a solution for a work around.

List of issues with patch level

Is there a list of application errors reported for each patch level?
When working with SAP R/3, there is a SAP note released for each patch level which states the changes delivered in that patch as well as what fixes are delivered. Therefore, it is easy to see what application errors exist in each patch level. Is there something similar for SAP Business One?

There are also notes for those Lists of issues with each patch level for B1. What is your B1 version and PL?
Thanks,
Gordon

Hi,
Check all the correction notes ( You can ask for a report from SAP)
Apply them and check fo the issues. Its a time consuming process and needs attention.
If there are any issues in notes raise a OSS immediately.
1. Check for primary requirements for which you need the change.
Be careful with Form16 - TAN Number based.
Check 80CCF, form 16 Services on portal, form 24.
2. Also test the existing functionalities.
Hope this helps.

JAVA PATCH LEVEL

Hi Experts,
I need small information on JAVA Patch level.
Presently we are on Patch level 15 in portal system and latest patch available in market place is 19.
Please guide me which patch level can i go and apply.
Regards
Jan

The best practice is to go with one step lesser than the highest patch available, because to get the fiexes to the problems with the highest patch will take some time and the 18 patch should have got the fixes by the time highest patch is released. and also you might get the possible issue with the patch 18 from the people who already adopted it or from the market place (you can get the report on impacts ) before proceeding to apply. The other point you need to consider is the patch 19 functionality and its immediate applicability as per your scenario.
Thank you,
Shyam

Problems installing SAP GUI 7.1 patch level 4 for Bex Analyzer

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

Create an install CD for SAP GUI Windows Patch Level 4

Hello,
I would like to create an Install CD for SAP GUI 720 for Windows with Patch Level 4
so that my user just install once.
From the market place, I can download Patch Level 0 distribution.
It is a Zip file that I can extract and use to generate an Install CD.
But it is LVL 0 only,
Then, I can download the Patch 4 executable file.
Unfortunately, the only way I can go to patch 4 is to execute this new program on my installed GUI.
Is there a way to generate, or even better download, an install CD that would contains the PL4?
so that the user just does one install and does not have to run the patch executable after the install.
If yes, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

> No my idea was to generate a CD with PL 4 now.
You can do that using an installation server, you can create a single .EXE file and burn in to a CD for the user.
> We test it and stand to it for a long time.
We tried to do that in the last 15 years we're doing SAP, unfortunately there come always situations, where you don't get around installing patches on PCs. This is especially true for BW, where the tools used depend (more or less) to the patchlevel of the backend system. However,
> Would someone know where I could get the release date of these compilation CD fro 720 Windows GUI?
The patch dates/weeks are listed in "Note 1053737 - Expected release dates for SAP GUI for Windows & ITS Patches", however, they are estimates.
I would assume that the next compilation will be released with Business Suite 7i2010 (or whatever name it is actually). Those compilation CDs are neverless always at least one patch behind the actual one.

Kernel upgrade - 640 patch level 247 - subsequent patches needed

Hi community,
I recently upgraded the kernel of our system SAP ECC 5.0 to kernel release 640 patch level 247
I used the the two files EXE and EXEDB as I usually do in this cases.
Unfortunately this kernel is affected with the problem described in note 1239685, which is critical for us.
To solve the problem SAP recommends upgrading kernel to patch level 252, which is not present in my files, but is present in the single disp+work package, which is level 273
What is the correct procedure in this case? I have to unpack only the disp+work package or all the archives listed in the download place?
Regards,
Valerio

Dear Valerio,
The packages SAPEXE.SAR and SAPEXEDB.SAR contain a complete set of database independent (SAPEXE.SAR) and database dependent (SAPEXEDB.SAR) executables. A kernel patch is delivered as a dw.SAR package. It is sufficient to extract the content of the dw.SAR into DIR_EXECUTABLE (normally /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run for a 6.xx system on UNIX). Of course, this should be done while the system is down.
Best Regards,
Tim

Patch levels

Hi,
Is it mandatory to have R-3 and BI patch levels to be the same?
In case if i dont want to install the complete Enterprise Portal but would only prefer to have the portal runtime installed for BI reports on the same BI server, how should i acheive this? And in that case i may not need a single sign on to be configured, am i correct?
thanks,

Hi Chetan,
What i could find out is we can have different R-3 patch levels and different BI patch levels and it works fine.
But my actual problem is how to i avoid complete portal installation? i.e IS it possible for me to use on the portal runtime component to display BI7 reports on the browser.
And if it is possible to avoid complete portal installation, it wont(shouldnt) even ask me for a login in portal after i execute a BI report, correct? So i dont need a SSO in that case!!
How do i achieve this? i just want the BI web reports to be seen and am not really interested in other features of portal at this stage.
thnx

Hi,
Check this link which may help u:
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-basis/igs-upgrade-1455477
The installation/upgrade procedures for the integrated IGS are as follows:
Integrated Version Installation
The integrated IGS is automatically installed with the SAP Web Application Server.
Integrated Version Upgrade
You find the upgrade files for the integrated IGS version on the SAP Service Marketplace:
http://service.sap.com/swdc ® Download ® Support Packages and Patches ® Entry by ApplicationGroup ® SAP Frontend Components ® SAP IGS ® SAP IGS .
There, you find the IGS executables and libraries (igsexe_.sar) as well as the IGS folder structure (igshelper_.sar) containing among others font files.
With the upgrade files of the executables and libraries, proceed exactly like you would with kernel patches (for example, extract the Archive to the same location). More information about kernel patches can be found in the related note 19466 in the section Copying and Installing a Patch.
The upgrade files for the IGS folder structure must be extracted to the instance directory (DIR_INSTANCE). More information can be found in note 1028690.
After a restart of the Web AS the new IGS is up and running.
Information about finding out your IGS patch level is provided in note 931900.
For an upgrade of an integrated IGS please also check note 896400.
For more info check this SAP Help doc:

Incorrect kernel patch level

Dear Experts,
I just upgraded kernel patch level to the latest one, i.e. 254, however the EWA report still read the old patch level (Your SAP kernel release (release 700, patch level 254) is not up-to-date).
Do we have to upgrade the ST_PI and/or PI_BASIS, the status is as follow:
SOLMAN:
PI_BASIS    2006_1_700   0008   SAPKIPYM08
ST-PI           2008_1_700 0000
Satellite:
PI_BASIS    2005_1_700 0010   SAPKIPYJ7A
ST-PI           2008_1_700 0000
Please advise.
Thank and Regards,
Rudi

Hi,
This "outdated check" is based on the compiling date of the
'disp+work package' of the kernel. The rules for how many days mean
outdated depend on the kernel release and the ST-SER Release and SP
running on the Solution Manager.
Please find below some corrections that extent the rules for beeing
up-to-date:
1076235 - RED Rating in Software Configuration, Kernel 700 old
1301137 - ST-SER 2008_2 SP02: Further Corrections
1304151 - Service Assistent: Adjustments for Kernel Check
You may want to have the latest ST-SER version in order
to ensure that the latest corrections are implemented in your system.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Determine Patch Level without opatch

Does anyone know of a way to query the oracle inventory xml file to determine the oracle patch level without using opatch?
I have a number of servers to check and not all of them have perl installed.
Also which xml file does opatch use?
the command 'opatch lsinventory -detail' gives one entry for the installed patches whereas 'opatch lsinventory' lists all the inventory.
There must be someway to grep one of the xml files to obtain the installed patches?
Which file and where in the xml file is it?
Cheers,
Jas

In $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/comps.xml, all the information related to oneoffs installed is kept. Infact OPatch reads this infor and reports during lsinventory.
But it is recommended to handle this file very carefully, if this file is damaged, then its almost that your home is gone, coz....no update can be done without proper inventory.
