SP Update strategy - how often do you update?

Hello,
as far as I know NWDS and CE should be on the same release and SP level.
Scenario: Several Composite Application on 7.2 SP 3. Now SP4 is available.
Following the recommendation to be on the same SP level strictly would mean that while updating the CE to SP 4 all developers should update their NWDS and rebuild their Composite Applications and redeploy them. To me this seems not feasible. Especially when you use the NWDI, e.g. all active tracks would need a new checkin and import.
I'm looking for a more pragmatic approach. But I need to know the following:
Do applications being developed for a certain SP level run after the SP update of the runtime CE?
How do you handle this SP update issue practically? Do you omit every second SP? Is there information available from SAP regarding an update strategy.
THX
Oliver

I understand that this is the best way, but there's a lot effort required:
Update D,Q,P CE server
Each active track in the NWDI needs to be updated with new SCs
Each developer has to update his NWDS (check in his open activities before) and his local CE
Each developer has to reload his development configuration
If there are 4 SPs per year - this may be time consuming.
From a practical point of view I would guess to opt for an SP update only if the new one contains fixed bugs that have occured in your scenario or if the new SP contains new and required features.
What do you think?
Regards
Oliver

  • How often do you update your maps?

    I last loaded the maps on my memory card some three weeks ago. I'm thinking once every three months to 6 months should be OK as far as updating them goes as there isn't too much that's really dynamic on them (The city guides might be another matter though) and streets don't appear or disappear too often. Anyone else of a different opinion?

  • How often are Ovimaps updated

    While driving recently the road I was on disappeared on my Ovimaps screen. I checked it out after the trip. I had been driving on a section of motorway that had been opened in June 2010.
    I had a look at the map on the Ovimaps website, and the entire section of motorway does appear on the website map though it does not appear on maps installed on my phone. My phone says that I have the most recent version of the maps installed and there is no update.
    So the question is how often do Ovimaps update their downloads to include new or recent changes to road systems? It seems a bit odd to me that a major motoryway opened a year ago has not been included in an update.
    Curious

    I have problems with Denmark on a stretch of motorway that's being expanded from two lanes into three. This means it gets rerouted by tens of metres from time to time and drivers suddenly get the Route recalculation msg. Fine if you're used to the place, but the lanes run in between metre-high concrete barriers in places and the exits are not always well marked.
    In my rural area two towns are correctly named in the v. 1.02 Nokia Map I have on my old E61i, bought in 2007, whereas in Ovi Maps v. 3.04 10wk32b03MW on my current phone, one has been given the name of the municipality that ceased to exist when three were merged in to one on 1 Jan. 2007 are the other bears the name of the new municipality instead of the name it's had since the Middle Ages. The online PC maps are half right. I've informed Nokia and Navteq.
    Performing the map refresh has no effect.
    The online map appears to be down at the moment so maybe they're doing some fixes?

  • How often is content updated

    Hi all,
    just a quick question. Have been using BT Vision now for almost 2 months, and notice that my content has hardly changed at all, especially for kids programmes. Its the same shows and episodes as when I first joined.
    Does anyone know how often content is updated. Kids are already complaining that they have seen everything worthwhile and that shows do not appear to be updated.
    Feeling seriously misinformed about the BT Vision service, and just waiting for contract to run out so can move back to SKY.
    Anyone any thoughts, or ideas about when content is likely to be refreshed?
    Thanks

    "In my experience programmes are hardly ever updated with NEW content, it's the same recycled trash that comes and goes in a stuck update loop..."
    There are never any repeats on Sky are there?  I mean their pay channels like GOLD and Comedy Central haven't been repeating the same episodes of Open All Hours and M.A.S.H. for the last 10 years.
    There is always new stuff on BT.  For example, in the last couple of weeks I have seen Pawn Stars series 2, Russias Toughest Prisons and the film 2012.  All of those were made or first shown anywhere in the last 6 months and are entirely new to BT.
    Those are just 3 examples I have watched recently, there is tons of new stuff. 

  • Superduper users - How often do you clone?

    Just bought Superduper and am in the process of cloning my 2 internal 1TB drives. Moving forward I'd like to do this on a regular basis. How often do you clone/smart update your drives?
    Can I set SD to smart update both drives when I'm done at night, on after another, or both at the same time? Also, do you automate your updates? I'm a little wary of that just in case something happens to the source drive and I don't get a chance to get to it before the clone occurs. Thanks!

    Leave one backup as is for your system that you know works, so you may want
    10.6.5, 10.6.6, two copies of your working system that you rotate with, a small clone of OS X from when you first install that is Apple-only, clean, nothing extra except essentials.
    Data: as needed, daily or whatever
    Can't run SD concurrently (shame) and one set of backups for each should be off line at any given time.

  • Do you know where is the rules of engagement ? How often do you read It ?

    Hi,
    Do you know where is the [rules of engagement|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/FgQ] ?
    Many people know exactaly where it is, but i noted that major of SCN never read this document.
    Today i noted this document link in:
    Left box menu in [Community Guidelines|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/communityguidelines] on the folowing pages: [Forum|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/forums] , [Wiki|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki] and [Blogs|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs].

    Some Forum has a locked thread like [Welcome and Rules of Engagement|Welcome and Rules of Engagement;
    There people that never saw this document before. Others already saw but they never read( this is other problem ).
    The SCN is a dinamyc community so the rule can be changed at any moment. How often do you check it for updatings  ? We know that the general rule probably won't be changed but new rules can be added !
    Wouldn't It be a good idea if this document link stay in All Threads next to link Reply to this Thread or in any place of this page ?
    Thanks,

    Hi Marilyn,
    Please tell me if I'm wrong but when I see new SCN member or someone that doesn't respect the community's rules I add the one of the following phrase:
    "Welcome to SDN Forum. Don't forget to read the [rules of engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement] !" As the follow [thread|Program with Top includes;.

  • How often should you do the maintenace cron scripts??

    Hi all,
    As the subject suggests, I just like to know how often should you run those maintenace cron scripts???
    thanks...
    Johnny
    * I don't know if this is the place for this question, if not, then I am sorry. *

    macuserguy,
    You may find Dr. Smoke's excellent FAQ about Running the Mac OS X maintenance scripts helpful.
    The FAQ suggests approximately weekly basis (especially if your Mac is shutdown or in sleep mode overnight) though perhaps more frequently if you have a smaller HD as these log files can take up alot of room.
    Hope that helps some,

    For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

    I'm just over a year into a 2 year contract and was considering using o2 refresh to get a better phone, but what if I wanted to this again in a years time? How often are you allowed to do it? Thanks

    If this is your first O2 refresh, and you are already with O2 on a standard 24 months contract (ie CPW) you also get 25% on the current contract cancellation fee.If you log in to my O2, and choose upgrade, it will tell you how much you have to pay
