Patching solman: SPAM or SP_MANAGER (CRM)?

Hi,
Solution Manager (4.0) is our first CRM-based system.  When patching, is it best practice to use the CRM SP_MANAGER for all patches, or use SPAM for non-CRM-related patches?
Many thanks,
-Jeremy Monin

Hello,
For solution manager 4.0, both SPAM and SP_MANAGER are the same. But for real CRM systems or previous release of Solution Manager, you need to us SP_MANAGER.
Best Regards,
Joseph

  • Error while confirming SPAM/SAINT patch through Solution Manager MOpz

    Hi,
    When I am confirming patches (release 700) in Solman through maintenance optimizer, it is allowing to confirm all except the SPAM/SAINT update version 700/0027.
    For the SPAM/SAINT patch, it is giving error "Object <some number> update error".
    Please let me know what to do.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Patch of SOLMAN to SPS 15

    Hi!
    I ahve the problem to patch SOLMAN from SPS 13 to SPS 15.
    When I try to patch them the following error appears:
    Please include the CRT for ...
    Can some one describe  the order of patch of components or to tell how do I get the appropriate CRT?
    Thank you very much!
    regards
    Thom

    Hi Thom,
    Here is a time table for applying SPS from 13 to 15
    1.) Make a database backup
    2.) Stop CI und DB. Then change the kernel. Start DB and CI
    3.) Apply latest SPAM/SAINT patch
    4.) Apply OSS Note 1075012 before continue
    5.) Apply SP13
    6.) SAINT upgrade to ST-SER 700_2008_1
    7.) Apply SP14 and 15
    8.) Finally apply OSS Note 1128026
    9.) If needed apply Java Stack 15 via JSPM on OS level
    Remarks:
    If you are starting from SP12 then you first have to apply OSS Note 1042866. Direct after do an upgrade via SAINT to ST-SER 700_2007_1. Afterwards apply SP12 via SPAM and continue at topic 1.).
    Before starting you should set dynamically the profile parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time to 3000 seconds via transaction RZ11. Make sure you have always 2.5GB free space in directory /usr/sap/trans.
    Cheers, Ingo.

  • Sales office data missing after patching in CRM

    Hi,
    We have CRM 4.0 for internet sales.
    Recently, we patched our Development and QA CRM systems from SAPKU40009 to
    SAPKU40016.
    Immediately after the patching, we see that the Sales office information in the BP (Sales area- organization tab) is missing.  We have only one Sales org and Dist channel with division not active. All the sales office belong to the same sales org. Nothing has changed w.r.t org model before and after patching and all the org units are checked for determintation.
    Everything was working before the patching. Just after patching, we find the sales office information blanked out in the BP and as well as the drop down list is empty.
    I can see the sales office table entries for all the BPs in CRMM_BUT_SET0140. But when ichange the BP data (for some other field) and save, the table entries get deleted as i am not able to assign the sales office any more.
    We have not buffered the attributes. I tried that also and ran the report HRBCI_ATTRIBUTES_BUFFER_UPDATE, but it is of no use.
    Can somebody help?
    Thanks
    Shankar

    Hi ,
    What you can do is,
    Create a request for a material whose Sales Area data is missing in
    CRM , and perform the request load in transaction:R3AR4.
    And please check whether sales area data flows to CRM.
    Put a filter in txn:R3AC1, to download single material or material
    range.And before performing an initial load in txn:R3AS,please make
    sure that sales area data is missing in CRM.Now, perform the initial
    load in txn:R3AS.And please check whether sales area data flows to
    CRM.
    Check the  filter settings in transaction R3AC1 for
    object MATERIAL and please make sure that it would bring down all
    the expected materials from R/3 along with the sales area data. I guess there is some
    filter setting which is blocking it.
    Please check the entries you have maintained in table MVKE - the entries
    for the sales data maintained here must match with the ones maintained in the
    filters.
    thanks & regards,

  • CRM Imp in SolMan

    Hi Experts,
    We are implementing CRM using SolMan and We need to get these transacations (Most of the TCODES which are web UI menu paths) loaded into Solman for SNC/EM/CRM.
    how to capture web UI menu paths for SNC / EM / CRM (in SolMan)  which are not true tcodes like in ECC?
    I assume we should still capture these UI menu paths somewhere in Solman.
    Thank you very much,

    Hi Niranjan,
    Good to know that it is solved. Would be great if you can share that info.

    Hi Karunaker, Did you tried re-importing SPAM version again from SPAM transaction.
    Try <Import SPAM/SAINT  update> again and let us know if you still face the same error then as said by Sourabh.
    Please paste the SLOG and ALOG files log to have further analysis on it.

  • TP_STEP_FAILURE " ERROR WHILE APPLYING SAP NW 04 SR1 ABA AND BASIS PATCHES

    Hi Freinds!!
    ..I have completed cinst, dbinst, client copy, jinst, xinst installation for XI 3.0 INSTALLAION ON ABAP + JAVA.
    I have first applied PI_BASIS patches and middle of it, it displayed the message that pre-requisite are not met i.e. First SAP_BW , SAP_BASIS, SAP_ABAP  pathces needs to apply.
    While applying SAP_BASIS and SAP_ABA patches... I'm getting the following error message ...
    "  The import was stopped, since an error occurred during the phase IMPORT_PROPER, which the Support Package Manger is unable to resolve without your input..
    After you have corrected the cause of the erro, continue with the import by choosing Support

    The following details help you to analyze the problem :
    -Error in phase : IMPORT_PROPER
    -Reason for Error : TP_STEP_FAILURE
    -Return Code : 0012 "
    ....So, what could be the cause of the problem ? Do I need to increase table space through brtools command at ora<sid> ?!!
    Pl. help....
    Many thanks in advance...
    -Rupen Patel

    Thanks a lot everybody.
    Although I had upgraded Kernel Patch Level from 43 to 155, the real cause was, it seems that was maxed out Oracle Table, ..as I found it through ST22 tr code which inturn displayed a logfile which displayed the details of error. I used brtools to extend the tablespace of a table, reapplied the patches thorugh SPAM and it worked out quite smoothly.
    Thanks again and Regards,

    Hi Shanahas,
    Could you tell us with what ID you have uncared the files. If possible, change the permission to 777 with that ID and then try to load the files in to applications level from SPAM->Load Packages->Application Level in 000 client.
    Normally you should uncar the files with <SIDADM> user

  • SolMan and NetWeaver together in an only system?

    Hi!
    Although I have administered R/3 by eight years, I am taking my first steps in installation of NetWeaver. That is to say, I am newbie and I will thank for the aid of you.
    For an installation of BI's evaluation (IT scenario: Enterprise Data
    Warehousing), I need to know if it is possible to install Solution
    Manager 4.0 SR2 and NetWeaver 2004s SR2 in the same server. Or, on the
    contrary, if it is imperative that SolMan is installed in another
    server(another system), separately of NetWeaver.
    It is necessary to clarify that the principal target of this exercise
    is to evaluate BI's possibilities; counting, for it, with an only server
    and knowing full well that the performance it will be degraded.
    For this particular case, SolMan would play the role of pre-requisite and
    generator of the key that will allow us to continue with NetWeaver's
    installation.
    Finally, after a short period, the installation will discard, since,
    parallelly, it continues in progress the real project of migration of our
    R/3 systems, and BI's installation in the definitive landscape.
    Best Regards.
    Gustavo Cabero
    [email protected]

    Hi Gustavo,
    first of all - Solution Manager 4.0 SR2 is based on NetWeaver 2004s SR2.
    So generally it should be possible to install the Solution Manager and then install the Usage Type Business Intelligence into the existing NetWeaver system. Both, BI and SolMan use the ABAP and JAVA Stack, so performance would not be impacted that much.
    For testing this should be ok anyway.... Do a search in SMP if you can find any note about any incompatabilities between BI and SolMan (SolMan actually is a "CRM light" system).
    Hth,
    Michael
