Sequence for Updates (Service Pack / Fix Pack)

Hello everybody.
I'm a bit confused about the update strategy.
Until now I was convinced that the strategy for the updates is or should be like this:
Service Pack 1 --> Fix Pack 1.1 --> Fix Pack 1.2 --> ... --> Fix Pack 1.x
Service Pack 2 --> Fix Pack 2.1 --> Fix Pack 2.2 --> ... --> Fix Pack 2.x
Service Pack 3 --> Fix Pack 3.1 ...
and so on, and so on.
There shouldn't be possible to install, e.g a Fix Pack 2.1 after the Service Pack 3 is installed.
But because of an problem with the connection server under Windows 2003 I'm not that sure anymore.
The story in short:
We've got installed the Service Pack 4 on the Enterprise.
After a few Windows updates the connection server didn't start anymore.
In the forum some say that this issue is fixed with the Fix Pack 3.6.
So first I wondered why the issue occurs on a system with a higher patch.
But the I've seen in the SAP Service Marketplace that the Fix Pack 3.6 is released after the Service Pack 4. Does this mean it is "more up to date"?
Is my image of the update sequence incorrect?
Thanks for any explanation in advance.
Regards
PS: My connection service problem was solved by uninstalling the windows update KB2509553 and a restart of the system.

Hi,
the explanation of this is the following:
At some point they start with the development of SP4. Lets say they start the dev. of SP4 during the release SP3 FP3.5. So all fixes after FP3.5 wont get packed into SP4. Thats why FP3.6 will fix a bug which SP4 wont. With the release of FP4.1 this fix from FP3.6 will be packaged aswell into FP4.1
I hope this made it clear.
Regards
-Seb.

  • Current Service Pack/Fix Pack of Xcelsius 2008?

    I have Xcelsius Version 5.1.2  (build 12.1.2.439) installed on a server.
    When I click "Manage Add-Ons" I get a C++ run time error.
    On another server I have 5.0.0.99 (build 12.1.0.247).  That version seems to allow me to manage add-ons.
    What service pack/fix pack do I need to install on top of 5.1.2 to allow me to manage add-ons?
    Thanks...Marv

    Hi Marv,
    If you are on Windows Vista you need to disable UAC...
    Also Xcelsius 2008 SP2 is now out so I'd upgrade to that and try again...

  • A ban for Update Service cause in dirty shoes into our house

    A ban for Update Service cause in dirty shoes into our house
    We raised a ban on all our devices for Sony Update Service.
    It does not respect the existing setup, instead it coming in into our house in dirty shoes.
    How uncool!!!!!
    The workstations have JRE installed, every time JRE of the newest available official version is installed.
    What does the SUS on its installation do?
    It installs additional JRE in own installation directory, does not check if some already present on the system.
    But much more bad is, the version of JRE installed by SUS is obsolete and vulnerable.
    By doing so it just raise w security hole in the system.
    It is not acceptable.
    We found recentlly in the SUS installation directory two JRE deployments: one installer, and one installed JRE.
    It was JRE 7u51.
    A ban for SUS on our systems.

    Shame on you sony if you are not shameless

  • Finding  Download for SAP Integration Kit Fix Pack 3.1  / ADAPT01412706

    Hi all,
    by using Crystal Reports 2008 V1 SP3 in combination with SAP Integration Kit 3.1 (SBOP INTEGRATION FOR SAP SOLUTIONS XI 3.1 SP3 WINDOWS (32B)) i get an error during the inportstep of the transports in our BW System.
    This error is descriped and solved in Note 1484086
    (https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1kZSZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3134383430383626)
    Following the Notesteps there is one conclusion using the transport files from the "SAP Integration Kit to FixPack 3.1" . My problem is to  find these named Fix Pack in the download area of the Marketplace.
    An Fix Pack for the SAP Integration Kit itself seems to be not aviable,
    therefore I tried several downloads beginning with:
    Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 3.1 - Click Once
    Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 3.1 - Redist Install
    Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.1
    there are no transportfiles in any of these packages.
    If any from you have some idea where to find the right transport files, please let me know.
    Regards
    Marco

    Hi Marco,
    you can go in Sap Support Portal -> Software Downloads-> BusinessObjects Downloads
    in the left select "Search for Software Downloads" then in "Search Term" input:
    BOBJINTGRSAP03P
    You'll retrieve all available versions of IK SP3 with related fixpacks.
    Regards.

  • New install - Do I install all Service Packs & Fix Packs

    Hi.
    I just installed Engage 2008 to replace my 4.5 version.  I see there is 1 service pack and 3 fix pack versions available.  Should I be installing all 4 of these or just the service pack and the most recent fix pack?  Please advise.
    Thanks!

    Hi Janice,
    First, check your help / about in Xcelsius 2008.  What is the build number?  Depending on what it ends with will help determine what route to take.
    -If it ends in 121, then run the Service Pack 1 installer.  The installer will replace your existing install with Service Pack 1, which will then yield the build number ending in 247.  From here you can install Fix Pack 1.
    -If it ends in 247, then you can just go ahead and install Fix Pack1. 
    In both cases, after Fix Pack 1 is installed, the end result should yield build version 12,1,1,344.
    Hope that helps,
    -david
    edit: sorry, it looks like Sirisha beat me to it.

  • How long for updates and bug fixes usually?

    I'm new to Logic and even new to Macs. I'm just wondering how long does it usually take for Apple to release bug fixes and updates to Logic?
    Also, how long did Apple take to get around to providing worthwhile updates to Logic 7? Were there substantial updates changed work flow, functionality, etc?
    Basically I'm wondering how long until Logic 8 will be more stable and complete?

    Logic 7 was never updated so as to provide any significant changes in workflow over its initial release. But apparently L7 so intrinsically broken that they abandoned any effort to fix it. Instead, they developed Logic 8.
    L8 has some very obvious bugs, yes. They need to be fixed yesterday. But as usual, Apple is dragging its feet in this regard.
    To your question, how long.... well, L7 updates occurred about every 4 months. There's no telling if they'll be on a more conscientious schedule for releasing L8 updates. They only offer end-users one choice: wait and see what happens.

  • SBO 8.8 Crystal Reports 2008 SP01 Fix Pack 3

    The 8.8 Administration Manual states that if CR 2008 SP01 is installed then Fix Pack 03 should be installed before installing SBO 8.8.
    I cannot find a Fix Pack 03 on the SAP Crystal Reports Portal.
    I can see Fix Pack 1.3 for SP01.
    Is that the same thing?

    Hi Tony,
    SAP introduced special version of CR for B1. If your CR 2008 is CR 2008 Basic for B1 then the Fix Pack 3 should be already in the package. You can dowbload it in the CR landing page (S id required). it is not available as seprate package.
    Cheers

  • Crystal reports 2008 Fix Pack 2.4 Release Notes

    It seems to be impossible to find any release notes for any of the fix packs. Can anyone point me to them?
    Also if it's anyone from SAP reading this why are release notes not distributed in the downloads section or a link to them. It's a ridiculous situation not being able to find them, how are we meant to know if issues are fixed we raise or about fixes we should be installing and are not even aware of.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Edited by: mahesh ch on Apr 7, 2009 4:15 PM

    I see Fix Pack for the following Server Type -
    AIX 32bit
    HP-UX on IA64 64bit
    HP-UX on PA-RISC 32bit
    Linux on IA32 32bit

    Also, is it mandatory to install the previous fix pack or can I directly apply 1.3 on XI 3.1?
    Thanks,

  • No sample database in Fix Pack 8.1.1.3

    Greetings, everyone.
    Currently, we run Siebel 8.1.1 on a Windows 2003 R2 Server. We want to install Siebel Fix Pack 8.1.1.3.
    In order to do so, I downloaded all 4 files from patchset 8.1.1.3 21219 SBA SEBL_ARU, unzipped them and created the installation image with Windows_ImageCreator.exe. The process completed successfully. However, we noticed that in the "Select products for image creation" screen there was no choice for Siebel Sample Database. And, indeed, the Installation image has no ..Siebel_Sample Database subfolder.
    This seems wrong because at page 454 of document "Siebel Maintenance Release Guide, Version 8.1.1.x, Rev S" there are instruction to install the Fix Pack for Siebel Sample Database.
    Has anyone experienced this before?
    Thanks for any help.
    Roque Daudt

    Hi,
    Recently I have installed Siebel 8.1.1 version on Windows Server and downloaded the Fixpack version 8.1.1.4 version.
    I have extracted the JAR files using Image Creation and am unable to find the "Sample Database" setup.
    I thought we wont require the Fix packs for sample database. Fix Pack for Tools & Web Client is enough.
