Service Pack and Monthly Hot Fix patches

Post Author: sherzog
CA Forum: General
I create all reports we use on my laptop using CR XI Developer. We have the runtime envrionment installed on all needed machines. My question is this, when I update my computer with the newest SP or HotFix, do the reports themselves get updated with the changes or do I need to copy a .dll or something else over to the client PCs so that they are in the same state as my install? Does anyone know? Please let me know, thank you.

Yeah, I have a strange state at the client I'm at where some of the developers are using SP1 and some are using SP0, but no one has the SP1 files so we can update. The sooner I can upgrade everyone the better...any word on when the updated SP1 will be ready?
[Edit] - Got your update above that was posted while I was writing my e-mail...If I had just waited a few more seconds...

2008 Engage Server Service packs and Fix Packs

I have Engage Server. I tried to load SP 3 and it didn't let me open old files. SAP told me SP3 was not compatible with Server product. I had to roll back to base version 5.0.0.99 build 12,0,0,121. Does anybody know if I can at least load SP1 or SP2 (and/or Fix packs) so I can have some of the basic features?

Your first question was answered many time int his forums, please use search functionality before posting a question.
There is no publicly available Version matrix + fixed issues list.
However, you can do to Service Market Place > Downloads locate XIR2 section and see how many Service Packs and Fix Packs are available.
Latest Service Pack for XIR2 is 6
latest Fix Pack for XIR2 is FP6.4 (needs to be installed on top of SP6)
To the right of each SP/FP in the download section of SMP is a link called "Info" , it leads to Knowledge articles which contain list of fixed issues.
As all SP/FP's are cumulative, you can view Sp6 readme and Fp6.4readme to get overall picture of fixed issues.

Zen 3.2 snap shot to force out windows 2000 service packs and critical patches

Zen 3.2 snap shot to force out windows 2000 service packs and critical
patches
has anyone used MSI to do the installations of services packs.

All Hotfixes and SPs have switches on the EXEs to allow for silent
installs.
This is the recommended method of deploying these.

1. A service pack (in short SP) is a collection of updates, fixes and/or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Service packs are usually numbered, and thus shortly referred to as SP1, SP2, etc. It is notable that they may bring, besides bug fixes, entirely new features.

For the ABAP parts of usage type PI, this is the implementation of support packages. For the Java parts, the deployment with the Java Support Package Manager (JSPM) is used.
You can find currently available support packages on SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/sp-stacks.
A description of how to apply support packages is available in SAP Note 879289.

SAP List of Supported SQL Server Service Packs and Cumulative Updates

Does SAP provide a list of SQL Server Service Packs and Cumulative Updates that will work with BPC 7.0 and 7.5? I see that CU 12 is out for SP1 and CU 2 is out for SP2. I would like to know if I can move the SP2 CU2 or SP1 CU12. My install docs are outdated specifying SP1 CU6.
Any direction is appreciated.
Joe

Hi,
Please take a look at the below list of the supported OS: This excerpt is from the installation guide.
SP04 or later: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition with or without Hyper-V
Windows Server 2008 Standard or Enterprise Edition with or without Hyper-V, or
Windows Server 2008 Data Center with or without Hyper-V
Windows Server 2003 Standard or Enterprise Edition SP2
Windows Server 2003 Standard configured on the SQL database or OLAP server components only
Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition SP2
SAP recommends using Windows Server 2008 64 bit over Windows Server 2003 64 bit. Otherwise, supportability is limited.
I am not sure what did you mean by the front end. Having said that, 32 bit is supported both on the server and the client machines.
Hope this helps.

Please guide the path in Service Market Place to find CR2008 latest Service Pack and CR2013 latest Service pack with Visual Studio integration

Please guide the path in Service Market Place to find CR2008 latest Service Pack and CR2013 latest Service pack with Visual Studio integration for CR2013; I have S userID and log in; but could not locate the place to download

Hi,
I believe you are right!, The support portal is Showing Crystal Report for VS not the other one;
Our S User ID is out dated might be; It was created when CR 2008 was purchased. But we bought CR2011 license recently as mentioned below.
Below is the product purchased by our organization
CR 2011 INTL UPGR WIN NUL LICENSE - 1 to 2 Licenses, mix and match.
Does this version have maintenance rights?
I tried registering at Service MarketPlace hoping to get new S-User ID; Am i right path to get the new S- USerID ?
During registering it asked for "Customer or Installation Number (1) *" ; Where can i get this info or number; Kindly suggest

What correct Service Pack and Fix Patch upgrade path?

I have installed Xcelsius 2008 Engage. I have version 5.0.0.99 build 12,0,0,121. I am assuming this is the base installation.
There have been a number of packs and patches released. I need to if I have comprehended. Is sequence below correct:
1. Crystal Xcelsius 2008 u2013 Service Pack 1
2. Xcelsius 2008 SP1 Fix Pack 1
3. Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 1 u2013 Fix Pack 2
4. Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 1 u2013 Fix Pack 3
5. Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 2
6. Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP2 Fix Pack 2.1
Other consideration:
I have heard much discussion about Xcelsius.msi. Is this file in (1) above and does (2) above require it to be available.
I am using Windows 7.0
Any other suggestion to avoid a painful process

Hi,
I'll answer some of your questions:
You can just install the base version and then SP2 + FP 2.1. No need to install SP1 and the related fix packs.
.msi is just an installer file - once you've installed Xcelsius this will not be used anymore.
I'm not sure that Xcelsius is supported on Windows 7.
Best regards,
Jacob

Difference between service pack and Patch in XI

What is the difference between Service Pack(SP) AND Patch ??
e.g SP12, Patch8.
Is it like that when there is a major change they will issue SP and
for a small change they will issue patch ?? or after number of patches
they will issue SP combining all the patches ??
Service Pack level can be seen from SAP gui system..>status.
But Patch level where can we see ?? what is the Tcode for that ?? or just we got
to go through below links ??
http://<host>:<j2ee_http_port>/sap/monitoring/ComponentInfo
also
http://<host>:<j2ee_http_port>/sap/monitoring/SystemInfo for core system info (J2EE or JVM patch level, etc.)

Hello,
A service pack (in short SP) is a collection of updates, fixes and/or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Service packs are usually numbered, and thus shortly referred to as SP1, SP2, etc. It is notable that they may bring, besides bug fixes, entirely new features
A patch (sometimes called a "fix") is a quick-repair job for a piece of programming. During a software product's beta test distribution or try-out period and later after the product is formally released, problems (called bug) will almost invariably be found. A patch is the immediate solution that is provided to users; it can sometimes be downloaded from the software maker's Web site. The patch is not necessarily the best solution for the problem and the product developers often find a better solution to provide when they package the product for its next release.
