SAP BW 3.5 support packages vs. J2EE

Hi!
I have one question in connection with implementation of support packages for a Netweaver 2004s installation with SAP BW 3.5 with actual support package 12.
I'd like to know if a JAVA isntallation is needed if I upgrade the to a higher patchlevel? I have heard that is needed with support package 16? I that right?
Thanks
Jens

Hi Jens,
Well, you can have the so called "Technical Upgrade" where you just upgrade the backend system (ABAP) to NW 2004s and keep using the 3.5 objects like queries, web templates, workbooks, etc.
Just in case you want to create new queries and web templates (in 7.0 version) you will need the Java Stack installed.
It happens because 7.0 queries can only be ran in the new Java Web runtime whilst 3.5 queries run in the ABAP Web runtime.
You can check more info about SP stacks at service.sap.com/sp-stacks. I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Marcio

Release BI 7.0 front-end add-on for SAP GUI 7.10, Support Package 700

Hi guys,
In SAP note 1238872 the release of new support package has been mentioned (Quote: "Download the BI 7.0 front-end add-on for SAP GUI 7.10, Support Package 700 from the SAP Service Marketplace.")
So, can someone tell me, when this Support Package will be released?
(At the moment the last version provided in download area is 6.02)
Kind regards
Markus

Thanks, but my question was not how can I workaround, cause I was able to read that note. (Unfortunatly the workaround solves the problem for the query designer only and the error still persists when executing the query)
However, can some one please tell me, when the Support Package 7.00 will be released?

OSS and Support Packages

Hi all,
Is ther any difference between the OSS and support packages?
Plz explain for this one.
regatrds
vijay

Hi,
IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE
Support packages provide a bundle of fixes in electronic form that are imported into the SAP system. These Support packages must be imported in order (starting with the very first one) and they cannot be skipped. All fixes within a Support package must be imported together, there is no ability to pick and choose the fixes.
The second form of fixes that SAP provides is via OSS notes that pertain to specific problems. These notes must be manually applied to the system, as these fixes are generally not available in electronic form at the time the note is published. Care must be taken to ensure that the note is entered correctly otherwise new problems may occur, or the existing problem is not corrected.
A Support package may contain fixes that also exist as individual notes, but many times they contain fixes that are only provided in Support packages. SAPs strategy for providing intra-release fixes is through Support packages and the use of individual notes is decreasing.
I hope this information could help you.
Note: Points always encourage me to reply !!

CProjects Support Package

Hi Friends,
Can anybody pls inform me the support package levels I have to maintain for all the other related software components (such as SAP_BASIS, SAP_APPL, SAP_BW) in order to work with cProjects 4.0 ? Pls mention it for all the related/dependent components.
Also pls tell me if there is any separate support package for cProjects ? Currently we are using CPRXRPM Release 400 level 0007. This is a common component for both cProjects as well as xRPM.
Thanks in advance and kind regards
Purnendu

Dear Purnendu,
regarding the latest patch level, you will find patch 8 under http://help.sap.com at
Download
- Support Packages and Patches
   - SAP xApps
     - SAP XRPM
         - SAP XRPM 4.0
           - CPRXRPM 400
Regarding the requirements to use cProjects, please see the SAP Note 900310
which includes necessary information about the installation and the link to the cProjects Master Guide (see point 4). In general cProjects 4.0 should be installed only on a CRM 5.0, ECC 6.0 or a SAP NetWeaver 2004s. Due to performance reasons cProjects should be installed on a seperate System.

How to find out version, support package, patchlevel of installed j2ee as

Hello all
We have PI 7.11 installed and I'd like to know what the support package and patchlevel of our installed j2ee application server is. We would like to post-install NWDI and need to know which are the right SCA-Files for us to download.
Can anyone tell me where to find this information? I wasn't able to find it (maybe just didn't see it?)
Thanks in advance
Renaud

Thanks Srikanth for your quick reply
But which "help -> about" are you talking about?
nwa? ConfigTool? Management Console? JSPM? SAPGUI Client? Elsewhere?
From SAPGUI-Client I choose System -> Status and click on details button for SAP System data. Here I see:
SAP_ABA     711     0000
SAP_BASIS     711     0000
PI_BASIS     711     0000
ST-PI     2005_1_710     0003
SAP_BW     711     0000
But this is for ABAP stack only.
In nwa I don't see any HELP -> About
In nwa/sysinfo I don't see any HELP -> About
In Config Tool I can see:
Version: 7.1100.20081120163102.0000
-> is this the j2ee as version including support package and patchlevel info or is this the version of the config tool itself?
In JSPM / SDT in Help -> About I can see:
Client Version 1.4.0
Server Version 1.4.0
Server Port 50418
JSPM Service Version 1.0
JSPM Host Name localhost
JSPM Port 50417
Unfortunately not what I'm searching for as well.
In SAP Management Console in ? -> About I can see:
Version: 7110, 21, 15, 51094
Still not sure where to find the required infos... any other ideas?
Kind regards

XI Install - ABAP Support Packs + J2EE Support Package install

Hi
I am wondering what is recommended sequence for installing/upgrading kernel, ABAP Support Packages & J2EE Support Packages for XI installation.
Should we install/upgrade kernel, ABAP Support Packages & J2EE Support Packages before XI 3.0 is installed? Or should we install these only after installing and completing post install steps of XI 3.0.
The Web AS install guide recommends to install the patches immediately after installing it, but prerequisite for XI install is Web AS SR1 i.e SP9(ABAP + J2EE.
Any suggestions in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Chandu

Hi Shravan,
Thanks for the response.
I have already gone through the note. According to the note, I assume the following sequence has to be followed:
Install SAP Web AS (ABAP)
Install SAP Web AS (Java)
XI Install & post install steps
Support Pack Stack for ABAP & Java
XI Patches
However, when carrying out post install steps after XI installation, I am unable to perform some steps. Also, there is an issue with J2EE engine after XI install.
Further, I have installed and completed post install steps as per following successfully:
Install SAP Web AS (ABAP)
Install SAP Web AS (Java)
XI Install
Support Pack Stack for ABAP & Java
Post install steps
XI Patches
What are the implications of applying ABAP & Java patches before XI install or before completing post install steps.
Regards
Chandu

Official Support from SAP on Support package levels

I have NW7 Dual stack system. Currently at SP10
Looking for an "official Policy" on supported SP levels from SAP, if it exists already. Please help me by providing a link that information or a document if it exists.
We are working on an ongoing infrastructure support policy for this installation.
Thanks in advance.
Vasu

You can run a certain level of support packages as long as you can live with the "deficiencies" resulting out of that. You can run on the initial installed level if you can deal with the fact, that you will need to apply a LOT of notes in case you run into an error (because of dependent notes because of the low support package level).
There may also be cases where it´s impossible to provide a correction by note (e. g. table changes) and where corrections can only be delivered by support packages.
Last but not least the law may force you to install a certain level (e. g. fiscal year change) to get the newest (and correct) data out of the system for all kinds of changes that may be necessary to comply the law.
Basically you can leave your system on a certain support package as long as you wish but it may become difficult or even impossible to give you a solution if more than an ABAP code correction is necessary.
This is especially true on dual stack systems where a change in the portal may force you to upgrade your complete backend to a certain level because there the ABAP + Java stack must be in sync --> one of the reasons why we totally avoid dual stack installations.

How to import Support Package 13(SAPKW70013) for SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI

Hi,
How to import Support Package 13 for SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI (BI Patch 13 or SAPKW70013)
Note no for that is : 1019055.
Thanks in Adavance,
Dushyant.

Hi,
RTC for BI 7.0 SAP_BW SP 13 is scheduled in CW 21, that is coming week, after that you should be able to download it from service market place.
@others: Dont get confused about SPS release with SP release. BI has intermediate release which is SP release, SPS is SP-Stack release (which is NetWeaver release).
SP 12 correspond to SPS 12 which is sceduled CW 21.
Hope this helps.

How can I get Support Packages for SAP NSP 2004s?

Hi together,
I have installed the SAP NetWeaver 04s Sneak Preview.
How can I get the support package stacks (SP 6 and SP 7)?
I have only a small OSS-User for 'Freie Berater' (Free Consultants). With that OSS-User it is not possibel to download the the support package stacks SAP Support Portal.
Kind regards, Eva

Hi Daniel,
the sp-level is 5. You can find it via system/status/ in the section 'SAP System data' (klick at the detail-icon).
Web Dynpro for ABAP works with that version. But I would like to have the newest sp-level. Our Web Dynpro teacher gave us some example sources and said that some of them might need sp 6. But I didn't test it.
I have another question: Have you worked in the MARK project a few years ago? There was a collegue named Daniel Kotte.
Kind regards, Eva

Side effects in SAP BW after support package upload

Hello!
I would like to ask whether do You know any side effects executed by installing of a support package (18 and 19) in SAP BW 3.5. If so, should any preventive steps be taken before, to avoid those errors.
Many thanks
RW

Thank You for Your answer.
What I was looking for were all the activities, that are necessary before uploading of a new support package to avoid possible system errors afterwords. As I read on the forum, there are some errors following the SP upgrade like:
- user can not use some program variants any more
- customer exits show error messages, because some tables from the base are changed
- descriptions of new activities in IMG customizing are missing
etc.
Well it seems, that the only thing the user can do is to upload SP patches in the correct order and with an exeption of the last one released.

Unable to login to sap after importing support package

Dear consultants,
I have applied the support package basis 11, but it terminated since then i am not able to login to sap from any client and any user,
please give your opinions,
it gives dumps, and at the bottom of logon screen it says, status 0020 program sapmsyst .
regards,

Sameer,
I hope your problem is resolved right now. If not,
It would be better if you can give a little more information as to which system and version did you apply support pack to? What was the SPAM support pack level? At what phase did the SAPKBxx11 support pack terminated? What OS are you running on? Also, please check if any transports are still running at the 'OS' level.
Thank you.
