Support Package question.

Hi Experts,
Someone know how can I check what is the last support package that I need to install in my system and database?
Thanks for the help!

Hi Carlos,
This depends on lot many factors.
1 Basis suggestion
2. Functional consultants suggestion as if they required lot many notes to be implemented in the system and they are part of Support pack then it need to be implements.
3. Your licensing with SAP
4. SAP recommendation, which you can find by raising OSS, or on customer support portal, or through searching in OSS notes.
5. Business people
As after applying support pack the system need to be tested for lot many functionality, (SPAU, syntax checks, etc) so the decision is a collaborative decision.
Please let me know if you have further query.
Reward points if helpful.

Question about OSS Notes, Archiving and Support Packages

Hello,
does anyone know if all the OOS notes related to archiving programs corrections (category like "performances", "program error", "advance developments",
"legal functions", "corrections of legal functions", "problem", "exit added", "special developments"...) are all automatically appllied on SAP when a support packages is installed?
Thank you

Looks like the only requirement is Vcenter and Vsphere 4 client. So version 4.0 and up is supported.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/application_networking_manager/5.1/device_support/table/sdt.html
ANM 5.2 and 5.1 includes a plug-in that allows you to integrate ANM into a VMware virtual data center environment. VMware is a third-party product for creating and managing virtual data centers. Using VMware vSphere Client, you can access ANM functionality and manage the ACE real servers that provide load-balancing services for the virtual machines in your virtual data center.
To use the ANM 5.2/5.1 plug-in, you must use VMware vCenter Server and VMware vSphere Client 4.
For more information about using ANM in a VMware virtual data center environment, see the User Guide for the Cisco Application Networking Manager 5.2/5.1.

A dummy question - download support package

Hi:
I am downloading a support package for a sandbox system, and I need to download a support package.
After I add it to my download basket, it says pending approval.
I read the help it seems need to approve it via solution manager optimizer.

Thanks.
Eric

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?

Hello,
There are a coupel of things I would suggest checking here. From the logs I assuem that you are installing on a Unix system, what user are you calling sapisnt with? Is it the root user? Please also ensure that 777 permissions exist on the directories in question, and that the file itself is not corrumpted.

Basis Support package level of ECC 6.0

Dear All,
I use SAP Version ECC 6.0 (700 Kernel, 64bit) Database SQL.
My question is what should be the support package level of ECC 6.0? SAP recommends for the latest support package level always. But, whether the latest support package level will be stable?
We are in the blue print stage now, I haven't received any requirement from the fuctionals for the support package upgrade.
We have modules like, SD, MM, FI, FICO, HR, PS and CS.
Anyone worked with these modules who can provide me, the particular components related to these modules with the stable support pack level.
Thanks in Advance,
Abu Sandeep

Hi,
Yes, for a new installation always go for the last support packages.
After going live, NEVER, NEVER apply support packages without qualifying them for YOUR company in a test system. It takes a lot of time to do non regression tests but it is mandatory IMHO.

Olivier

Support package requierement for unicode conversion

We are currently planning a unicode conversion for a SAP 4.7enterprise 1.1 extension version, running under Aix and Oracle, Basis/ABAP SP 35, HR SP20.
According to the conversion guide, we must implement at least Support Pachage 60 for Abap and Basis, no explicit requierement for HR SP level.
I believed that we must applied SAP procedure and exclusively HR Support Package Stack up to 27, which include SP 60 for Basis and Abap and HR 61.
Our HR guys argue there is no indication from SAP that the SUPPORT PACKAGE STACK policy is mandatory and that SAP will provide us with normal support if we run the unicode conversion with SP Basis/ABAP 60, in other word even if we do not respect the support package stack combinaison. Need help on this issue before starting the project

Exterprise 4.7 is Unicode-Compliant,meaning that you can have unicode in 4.7.
If that the case, you should convert to 4.7 Enterprise Ext 2.00 Unicode First.
later only upgrade to ECC 6.0 after 2 years, as you said.
My answer is yes, to your question.
You can download the installation kits at:
http://service.sap.com/swdc
anyway, it is recommended to have the latest SP in your system.
cheers,
Vincent

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

Question on Appying NW Support Package Stack
Please note that both individual Support Packages and SP Stacks are Non-cumulative. This means that, when you import Support Packages, then you import a gap less series of Support Packages and, if
you use SP Stacks, you also import these without a gap. The only exception is the Support Package for SPAM itself. & Java support packages which comes in SCA format.
Uday, Did you try to copy from what I posted?.. the correct procedure would be to direct to the original link.. not CTRLC & CTRLV!

Support Package pre-requistis accross different landscapes

I am struggling with which landscape but be patched before another since adding PI 711 into the mix.
I am supporting ECC6 EHP4 with NW701, BI 70 at Netweaver 70, Solution Manager 70 Ehp1 and now PI 71 ehp1.
I have been told PI must lead all other landscapes support package level but with it being at a later version of Netweaver than all other landscapes it is a far comparison or does it already lead them?
My immediate need is to begin planning for a support package project on the ECC6 EHP4 landscape in the fall. Since this landscape was last patch, about one year ago we add the PI landscape.
It is a pretty safe bet I will be struggling with this same question in about 6 months when I start looking at a BI support package project.
Any help that could be provided on this would be most appriciated.
Bill

I think we need to understand more why you feel certain systems need to be patched first or in a certain order
- from what you say there must be technical concerns across more than one product area
Perhaps it could be that --->
Generally systems that interact with one another should be on the same BASIS level and SP stack - the general rule of thumb
Products such as SLD definately have to be on systems with equivalent or higher BASIS version and SP stack than systems
they interact with because the content created for a Netweaver 700 SLD
may not be able to cope data supplier information from a Netweaver EHP1 system (this also raise other concerns regarding
exporting data between SLDs - again equivalency - or higher for target system is recommended, sometimes with SLD lower BASIS version source systems may have limited export options as well)
Products such a Solution Manager also as a rule of thumb have to be on equivalent or higher BASIS version or SP levels
than the systems they interact with
But PI also may have similiar concerns because they manage communication between systems e.g business systems
However lets take say Payroll in ECC without any ESS or Legacy Systems, ALE
- totally standalone payroll system - the only rules that apply there are that it works, has the latest fixes and required legal changes and follows a recommended stack - no BASIS equivalency level between other systems may exist in order for payroll to carry out its purpose
Does this help clarify further ?
Best wishes

The customer themes not working after installing support package.

Hi,
In a Web dynpro ABAP aplication that i made in a project, we have a customer theme. We transported the development of a new host that had a higher level of support package, and it has stopped working properly the customer theme. We´ve gone from 7.0 sp 9 to sp 20. Well, when you run the programa WD_THEMES, in the ALV appeared to me not the customer theme. So I exported the standar themes and with Eclipse, I´ve copied and re-created the customer theme by modifying the latter.
Once changed, I try exporting to the test environment and it is here that the level of support package was sp18. I could not import it because the version was not the same.In the development environment was 7.0.19.1 and in the test environment was 7.0.15.1.
The question that comes to me is when we have a customer theme in a environment and upgrade the level of support package, is the version of all themes listed in the program updated or only the standar themes?. If this is so, if we upgrade the level of support package we will have to re-export the standar themes, copy one of theme and go back to redo our theme, right?.
Thanks and hope your answer.

Hi Karthik,
Let me clarify on "Not working"
It showned synchrozation successuffly but no data transfer between client and middleware and vs. For instance, the user never receive any new work orders, or their times never got transfered back to R/3. Even though, there is no error on the client.
It appear that step 1-4 are required otherwise, you get ABAP Runtime error (using ST22):
Runtime Error          CALL_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND
Except.                CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FUNC
Date and Time          02/07/2007 08:12:27
After we performed step 1-4 but there were data transfer between client and R/3. The only way to get it working, we had to delete client and re-assign MAM 2.5 back to each users.
No, we didn't apply client patch SP19. We are still using SP16.
As we speak, everything is working because we had to re-assign MAM 2.5 for every users. but I hope we don't have to do this next time we apply another Support Package.
Thanks.

Upgrade Support Package for one Software Component

Dear Experts,
I am new with SAP Basis Administrator and I have new task to upgrade EA-HR software component from release 600 sp30 to release 602 sp9.
Actually, EA-HR component in Development system already in release 602 sp9 while quality and production in release 600 sp30. This is where the problem started, since there is one SAP Note we need to apply that depends on the release version. The consultant wants to do the changes in development and transport it to quality then production. Since the way to apply SAP Note is vary based on EA-HR release version, the consultant wants the release version of EA-HR in all systems to be the same.
I have download support package for EA-HR 602 sp9.
My question is very basis, how to upgrade EA-HR component to release 602 sp9?
Regards
Rian Wisandanu

EA-HR component in Development system already in release 602 sp9 while quality and production in release 600 sp30
This is a no go... This is why most people call for a development freeze while the system is been patched.
the consultant wants to do the changes in development and transport it to quality then production. Since the way to apply SAP Note is vary based on EA-HR release version, the consultant wants the release version of EA-HR in all systems to be the same
You system is not consistent, transporting data into a system with a different patch set can cause serious problems. You are going to have to tell your consultant that he'll have to wait until the whole landscape is patched to the same level.
Who upgraded the component in DEV??
The note also states that this corrections are available for 600 so there was no need for 602 if you are not planning a EHP upgrade..
EA-HRRXX 600 SAPK-60050INEAHRXX
Maybe you can give us some more info about what are you planning to do with your system patch wise?
