Patch Level Update Notifications

What is the best way to receive notification of new Patch Level updates? For my Business One setup, I subscribe to the SAP B1 update RSS feed, so I get instant notification of patches as they are available. Is there something similar for WebTools?

What if we just made this a sticky post and had it updated every time that a patch was released? Then anyone could subscribe to the thread by email or by RSS, plus it would be at the top of the forum for everyone to see.

Patch Level Updation

Hi Friends,
Due to some emergency we are updating patch level in development server from level 9 to level24 . After making changes in development if some changes done to PI objects & transport is done to production will that effect in Production.. (as production is at level9).
Any inputs pls..??
Regards,
Vinod.

Depends on the kind of objects.
If its a Adapter, then there will definetely be a impact as it uses the MetaData from SAP BASIS SWCV which has the corresponding Patch Level associated with it.
In case of mapping objects, it may work without any issues but the recommendation is that patch upgrades throughout landscapes be done with minimum transports.
Will let someone confirm the same as well

HTMLB controls and upgrade for HR-CEE patch level

Hi,
we have applied support patches in order to update the machine to the following level: HR-CEE (100_470) SAPK-10059INHRCEE - Level 59.
This has been made following the OSS note 524948 guidelines and they have required this other patches level update:
        SAP_BASIS 620 0055 SAPKB62055
        SAP_ABA   620 0055 SAPKA62055
        SAP_HR    470 0048 SAPKE47048
We have noticed that after apply those patches, some HTMLB controls like inputfield type date have change their appearance and design.
Somebody could help me to fix this problem?. I don't know what happend and what public folders, mime objects and show on I have to check.
Thanks in advanced.

Is there a particular application this is occuring in? In that case an application may have been changed from Design2002 to Design2003. This would cause appearance change, but this would be normal and correct.
Can you check out HTMLB_SAMPLES or SBSPEXT_HTMLB and see how that same element looks there.

Avoiding patches vs disabling update-notifications

This refers to the sublime-text-nightly AUR package. It is my understanding that we should disable update notifications, since they mean little to the end users as they have to wait for the packager to update the software anyway.
In this case the software is supplied as a precompiled tarball which will automatically, when started, call home and check for updates. This can be disabled in a system-wide or in a user specific configuration file. So the options are either to do nothing and for the user to find the option themselves if they wish and disable the update notification, or to patch the default configuration file when packaging to disable the update notifications.
Which is the recommended approach?

I don't have access to the source code, so removing it at that level isn't an option at all. Instead modifying the shipped configuration is exactly what's on the table.
Just to clear confusion, I'm not the AUR maintainer, this was 1. so I know what to suggest to the maintainer and 2. To know for the next time this happens. I have written a PKGBUILD which applies this patch and it's here: https://github.com/sakaru/PKGBUILD/blob … y/PKGBUILD
The build() function is:
build() {
# Patch the default Preferences package to disable update notifications
cd "${srcdir}/sublime_text_3/Packages"
unzip Default.sublime-package Preferences.sublime-settings
patch Preferences.sublime-settings < "${srcdir}/disable-update-notifications.patch"
zip Default.sublime-package Preferences.sublime-settings
rm Preferences.sublime-settings

Perhaps that's the best option

Please help me how to rectify.
Thanks n regards
Bhaskar

Hello Bhaskar,
is the transport already approved?
If not approve it and try it again. (also it is a local one)
If not check the objects and unlock them manually the following way:
SE03 => Unlock Objects (Expert Tool)
But if you approve your transport... the objects should be unlocked.

DB space history not updating in DB02 after upgrading to NW7 patch level 11

We upgraded our NW04 system to NW7 patch level 11 and now when I go into DB02 and click on DB space history there is no new data since the upgrade. SAP_Collector_For_PerfMonitor runs every hour without error. I've checked st22 and there are no shortdumps and I can't find any timeout issues. Ideas?

You may need to a newer release of saposcol. Saposcol comes with your kernel, if you haven't updated your kernel recently that could be a conflict with your saposcol.

Updating db to new Patch level

Good Day
Experts:
Today I wanted to use a development db that had not yet been updated since the latest Patch Level was applied to the Server.
All was going well until the stopwatch down at the bottom of the screen started up. Shortly there after, the following message appeared:
"This entry already exists in the following table "Departments" CUFD
I also received the following message:
"This entry already exists in the following tables " " CUPC
A few days earlier development db's on the same Server were updated.
Has this happened to anyone else? I am not sure what this is/means or how to proceed. Any input/help is appeciated.
Thanks,
EJD

i didn't update to patch 43 yet.
quite strange that you mentioned the CUPC Table - its the Upgrade Control table.
maybe some else tested it here ?

David

Updating the Service Patch level

Dear Friends,
We are updating the service patch level of EP 7.0. It wil be EHP1 (sp05).
So do we need to bring other intigrated system to this level,system like BI,SAP HR,SAP DMS etc ?
Regards,
Devesh

Hi
In general yes,
for example, if you using ESS / MSS scenarios, thes levels on the portal must be leveled with HR support packages on R/3.

Updating ST-PI to patch level 8

Hi,
We have the solutions tools plugin 2005_1_46c installed on one of our systems at patch level 2.Now we want it to be updated to the latest patch level ie., 8.So can we directly apply the latest patch level or do we need to apply all the patches in a sequential manner.
Regards
Balaji

Patches need to be applied in sequence. As mentioned before always read the prerequisites and the Note related to the patch to be applied.

Error: Current patch level of database is unknown. Use latest dbpatch build

hi,
I am applying EP6SP2 CM&COLL patch 5 DBPATCH.
current portal version: version=6.0.2.29.0
current C&COLL version: CM_COLL version=60 SP2 Patch 5
Before applying this patch, i applied CM&COLL patch 4 hotfix 8 and the DBPATCH included in tht. Now, after applying CM&COLL patch 5, i tried to apply DBPATCH which comes with CMOLL patch5 SAR file. My database is oracle database. While applying this patch i encountred following error:
<i>
Current database version: SP2.CM.SPs
ERROR: Error: Current patch level of database is unknown. Use the latest dbpatch build
java.lang.Exception: Error: Current patch level of database is unknown. Use the latest dbp

Now according to SAP Note 761224, they asked us to use updated DBPATCH attached to this note. But currently there are only 3 files attached of MSSQL. I want the updated ORACLE_DBPATCH files.

Hi,

How to stop update notifications for specific software updates

NOTE: I apologize in advance for the extreme length of my post & hope that someone will be willing to read it all & then be willing to help... Thanks!
I have been continually getting a Software Update notification for "Migration Assistant Update for Lion" (described "This update provides compatibility for migrating to a Mac running OS X Mavericks.") for quite a while now. IMHO, I consider my Mac knowledge/tech experience level (on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is a Mac Guru) to be about maybe 6 or 7 on average (&von a good day maybe an 8). That's assuming, of course, something like this can be quantified in that way. LOL! ;-) Anywho, I digress... Back to my question... As a general rule I don't immediately jump & install every single new update that comes out for all of my technology/electronics, no matter if Apple or Google tells me to do so. Obviously, I take all notices regarding security seriously & immediately research (unless it's forced upon me) it thoroughly before installing. This is ESPECIALLY true for apps in Apple's app store or Google Play Store, & I read a lot of the user reviews, as well as trusted tech gurus on the Web. Because NOT EVERY update is truly an improvement (mostly b/c of the failure to FULLY test them before releasing, more like unleashing, them to the public...Microsoft has mastered this FUBAR technique to absolute 'perfection', or something like that...haha!) OY, I'm so sorry for continually getting off topic. Okay, seriously now, here's what I want to know: Is there any way to tell Apple I don't want to install one of their recommended updates & also to stop bugging me about it? I'm specifically referring to the one I mentioned above. Everything I found online about Mavericks made me want to stay VERY FAR AWAY from it. I could be wrong or found bad info, but I don't think so. Please let me know if I'm wrong, because I really want to make the best/most informed decision possible. Thanks!
That being said, today I received notifications about Apple's latest security update (2014-001), plus one for Safari. I plan to install the security update for sure & most likely the one for Safari (even though I stopped using it months ago & started using either Chrome, Opera or Firefox - I still haven't picked a fave, but use Chrome 90% of the time... I'm open to suggestions about these apps too...)... But, I don't want to mess with the "Migration Assistant" one.
I would really love some help from my fellow Mac users... I apologize for being long winded & will try to reign in that nagging writing flaw in future posts. Also, I apologize if I've missed something that's totally obvious & easily found on this or other forums/sites, but I really did try to find an answer before posting my question here...
Thanks Mucho to all of you who were able to read through my mini-novel (& not fall asleep in the process) & actually found my question at the end!! I would like to say "THANK YOU!!" in advance for any & all help y'all are willing to provide!!! :-D
Hope you have a FANTABULOUS day! (^_-) Sincerely, Care ;-)

Wow, now that I see how extremely long my post is on screen, I'm a wee bit embarrassed... I'm hoping someone will be willing to overlook this annoying factor & provide a suggestion... :-/ Signed w/shame, Care :-/

Compatibility between MII with different patch levels.

Hi all,
I know that the best solution is to have the same MII patch level in MII development environment and in produztion enviroment.
For many reasons that aren't under my direct controli, we'll have an MII 12.0.5 in development and MII 12.0.8 in production.
Are there any point to verify? Can we export from development environment and deploy to production without any changes?
On the contrary, what about having the development environment at a higher patch level than production enviroment (e.g 12.0.8 in development and deploy the solution on a 12.0.5 prduction enviroment)?
Thank in advance for your responses/experiences on this subject.
Best wishes for a nice 2010

Hi,
If you transfer from lower patches to higher patches there will not be any problem as such.
In the otherhand if you trying to export the project from higher to lower patch there you have the problem. Becuase some bugs might have been fixed in the higher patch those are not avaialble in the lower. For example in some date function of BLS might have been fixed in updated patch,the same you copied then that particulr function will not work in the lower patch and the BLS will come with errors.
Hope this helps you.

How to determine 640/J2EE Startup Framework Binary Patch Level?

Hi All,
We are running BI ABAP with Java Add-in on WAS 640/SUSE/Oracle.
In the ABAP world, there are many options for determining the current kernel patch level. Disp+work -v, SYSTEM->STATUS, etc..
How do I determine the patch level of the J2EE startup framework (ie: jlaunch, jcontrol, etc..)? If I run these commands with '-version', I get a patch level of 0. From System Information, the Cluster Kernel Version is 6.40 PatchLevel 105424.313.
What I am trying to determine is if I have the binaries that map to the latest applied SP (18). Do I need to download J2EERTOS18.SAR and apply the bits or has that already been done? Or is the current patch level for the bits fro the J2EERTOS14.SAR file? Etc...
Any tips/suggestions?
Thanks much,
Greg

Hi
You can check the patch number like this;
