Support package stacks: Do we need to import all SP in the stack?

Hi all.
We are about to import Support Package Stack 13 into our ERP 6.0 system. The SPS includes a lot of support packages for software components such as IS-OIL, IS-UT and other IS-*  components.
These components are inactive in our system, and are not used. However, I know that the recommendation is to import the complete stack.
I am therefore having some doubts if it is wise to import the IS-* related support packages.
Please advise.
Regards,
Thomas

Thank you for your feedback.
However, I would like to ask if the only argument is to follow SAP recommendation? What risks are we running if we do not implement the IS component support packages?
As the IS-* components are not active, I don't see how not importing these support packages will cause "inconsistence" in the system. Also, it would reduce the total number of support packages that needs to be included.
I am generally positive to following SAP's recommendations, but in this case we are are in a situation where we need to lift the SAP system from SPS 8 to SPS 13 in one operation. That includes a massive amount of support packages, and possibly a lot more time than the timeframe we have available.
Regards,
Thomas

  • InDesign CC no longer packages fonts when I need to send a project to the printer

      Hey Adobe team: Long-time user from when Photoshop was but a sprout. I recently upgraded from Creative Suite 6 to Creative Cloud and have run into a troubling problem. InDesign CC no longer packages fonts when I need to send a project to the printer. This meant that I had to completely redo a project on deadline for a problem that I’ve never had before. How is this possibly helping your users? And is there a solution in the works or do I need to cancel Creative Cloud and go back to CS6?

    @OurPlace
    First of all, you are not addressing any Adobe team. These forums are primarily supported by volunteers who are not Adobe employees and don't officially represent Adobe Technical Support.
    That having been said ...
    There was nothing done specifically with InDesign 9 or 10 (the CC and CC 2014) versions of InDesign to change or disable packaging of fonts when packaging a document. It should be absolutely no different from InDesign 8 (the CS6 version).
    Troubleshooting hints:
    (1)     Make sure you check the Copy Fonts (Except CJK and TypeKit) option in the package dialog.
    (2)     Make sure that you are not using any CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) complex fonts that we specifically will never put into a package.
    (3)     TypeKit fonts won't package.
    (4)     Make sure that your file system permissions are such that InDesign can create all the necessary directories and subdirectories for the packaging operation.
    (5)     If on MacOS, exit InDesign and try forcing a clearing of your system font cache and then reboot.
    (6)     Exit InDesign and then find and delete all files on your system with filenames of the form AdobeFnt##.lst where ## is a two digit number; don't delete any other files that start with AdobeFnt. Then reboot and restart InDesign.
    (7)     Reset InDesign's preferences that may have become corrupted. For Windows, start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. For MacOS, while pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
    One of these should either address or resolve your problem. Again, we at Adobe are not aware of any generic issue with packing fonts with InDesign.

  • To import all songs on the CD, click Yes in the window that appears. iTunes starts importing the CD.---I am using a Dell and can't import the CD I need because the window doesn't automatically pop up.  How do I fix this?  Any thoughts?

    I am using a Dell and can't import the CD I need because the window doesn't automatically pop up. How do I fix this? Any thoughts?

    You could try my script ConvertFormat and see if you like the results. Would be easier than inserting the CDs and correcting the tag info again. Just be aware this is a one-way trip. Once you've thrown away some quality to shrink the files you can't get it back without going back to the source. You may better off investing in a bigger drive.
    If you just want to squeeze more on the iPod you can use the built-in iTunes option to convert files to a lower bitrate as they are added to the device.

  • Why can't I import all songs? The computer is authorized but the error message says that it isn't to play some songs...HELP!

    I have turned on Home Sharing and Imported most of the orginal library but certain songs won't import. The Itunes tell me that the computer isn't authorized but when I log in it says that it is already authorized. This is very frustrating, please help.

    You need to select what you want to import first.

  • IPhone always imports all photos in the camera roll

  • After Mavericks Install, Mail has imported all mails into the wrong folders

    Anyway to fix this without manually going through each and every email?  I have over 6 years worth of email and now all the new mails, sent mails, spam mails have ended up getting filed away into "ALL MAILS."
    It took two days to for Mail to upgrade and now it looks like it did a bad job.  Any advice?

    Hi Eric. Thanks for your response.
    1. All the non-archived sub-folders already appeared under “On My Mac,” so they weren't hidden.
    2. A restart helped, in fact. I first made a copy of the entire Library>Mail folder so I would still have all the .mbox content. Upon restart, Mail automatically created its own Archive. Fortunately, it contained all the subfolders in the manually created Archive mailbox that had disappeared. Apple apparently reserves the term "Archive" for its own use in Mail. I found another thread that arrives at the same conclusion and suggests a fix for a related problem: Re: Deleted my 'On my Mac' folder in Archived mail after Mountain Lion OS X update - all mail lost - how to retrieve?
    3. I believe the answer to #3 is yes; she'll need to drag her non-archived subfolders to Apple's newly created Archive from now on.
    4. I copied them along with the Library>Mail folder, so I'll have them if I need them.
    Thanks again for your suggestions.

  • OBIEE:Need formula for all characters to the right of the right-most space

    Hi:
    I need to extract the right-most word from a field that could have 2-3 spaces. Example: "Administration Main Boston" = "Boston"
    Thanks-
    Charlie Epes
    Buffalo, NY

    Okay, this took awhile, but it was a nice challenge. The following will work for CHAR fields that have up to 3 spaces. It will extract and display the last word that follows the last space. Again, this was designed to work for words with no spaces, one space, two spaces, and 3 spaces. Here is the code:
    RIGHT(RIGHT(RIGHT(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME,LENGTH(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME) - POSITION(' ' IN TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME)),LENGTH(RIGHT(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME,LENGTH(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME) - POSITION(' ' IN TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME)))-POSITION(' ' IN RIGHT(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME,LENGTH(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME) - POSITION(' ' IN TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME)))),LENGTH(RIGHT(RIGHT(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME,LENGTH(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME) - POSITION(' ' IN TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME)),LENGTH(RIGHT(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME,LENGTH(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME) - POSITION(' ' IN TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME)))-POSITION(' ' IN RIGHT(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME,LENGTH(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME) - POSITION(' ' IN TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME)))))-POSITION(' ' IN RIGHT(RIGHT(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME,LENGTH(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME) - POSITION(' ' IN TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME)),LENGTH(RIGHT(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME,LENGTH(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME) - POSITION(' ' IN TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME)))-POSITION(' ' IN RIGHT(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME,LENGTH(TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME) - POSITION(' ' IN TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME))))))
    To use this, do this:
    1) Paste the code in Notepad.
    2) Do a "Replace All" and substitue TABLENAME.COLUMN_NAME for "- Employee"."CRM Employee Branch"
    3) Copy the transformed code and paste it in the fx of a dummy column in your report.

  • Lightroom not importing all photos from the SD card

    I have been using light room for a month now, importing photos from my Nikon's SD Card. All was going well until today. At first it seemed like lightroom could only see the first 144 photos (up to DSC_0217) as that was all that showed in the lightroom Library for last import. But when I looked in the Hard Drive and today's folder I could see all the photos (an additional 70 or so) had been imported to the hard disk. I tried moving the missing ones to a new hard disk folder - then an import from that folder, but light room thinks they are already imported.
    Any ideas where they may be? I attach a screen shot - but doubt it will help?!?

    LOL - 353 photos, thats the 140 or so from today and all my others. Then I see that the sort order is date stamp, and my missing photos are out of sequence. If I sort by filename then I get what I expected to see ... my new photos at the bottom! Looks like something happened in the EXIF data as the time stamp should be sequential with the the filename! No worries, thanks for making me see the big picture

  • Needing to cloud all devices to the same cloud

    Hopefully I can explain this without confusing anyone. We now have 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, and 2 iPods. 1 iPad, and 1 iPod is clouded together 1 iPhone is its own cloud and the rest we just bought and have not clouded them yet. We are wanting all devices on the same cloud so we can all be linked together for all devices. However can we reassign each device so that they all share the same everything and still keep the apps that are on the phones and pods?  Please help!

  • I need an align all notes on the beat function

    Hello friends,
    As a fellow GB musican composer, I was wondering if any of you wish there was a funtion that aligned all notes onto the nearest tempo beat line (if you know what I mean). I use a g 4 dual processer with 1 gig of ram and yet when I play the keyboard using musical typing all my notes are recorded slightly off the beat I suppose due to computer delay. I just wrote a nice five minute song and now the work I have to do to make it all playback in correct time is a consuming process but its ok i love to work and work to love.

    I am a newbie; your advice was so helpful. I've probably stared at that button for months not knowing or involving it in the creation process.
    You've just increased my perfomance level and speed!
    Best wishes to you and your future.

  • Stacks in LR5 will not expand, and I can't seem to select any photo other than the top of the stack.

    Since upgrading to LR5, I've been really frustrated by stacks. When I export to jpg, I add it to the library, and add it to a stack with the raw. In LR4, it was easy to select either of these files, since they were side-by-side in the library, but with a visible indication that they were linked. Now, choosing expand stack does exactly... nothing. As far as I can tell, I can either select the very top photo of the stack by clicking on it, or all files in the stack by clicking on the little 1 of X box on the stack, but I have no way of selecting individual files in a stack.

    Your email provider has blocked the standard mail port 25 for sending emails and is requiring a different port. This is to avoid mail relays that use mail clients to send spam. You need to find the port that is used by your provider for sending outgoing mail. Then change the settings in your email account on your phone to match the port. You will also have to provide some security credentials for the account.
    You can also try deleting the email account from your iphone, and the adding the email account back as this will many times set the correct port for sending emails.
    You could also do a Google search on the the settings for your device with your email provider. That will provide you with the proper settings.

    Hi Vani,
    Thank you very much,
    SAP_Basis package has been successfully completed. As  u said language import not required to update support packages.
    It took me around 7 hours to complete the update.Now i have started the Rest of the Business package.
    It seems its totally killing my time.  I think it shouldnot take this much time to complete a single package I need to install other packages like .
    SAP_ABA, PI_Basis,SAP_BW and ST_PI.
    Hi Vamshi,
       Thank you. Finally package completed.
    Thanks and Regards

    2. Apply ABAP Support packages and then,
    3. apply JAVA support packages
    Is it possible to apply ABAP support packages with JSPM?

  • ECC 6.0 IDES - SUPPORT PACKAGES

    Hi Friends.
    I' SAP  PP Consultant. I installed sap 46c ides, support packages and all of this stuff for long time.  I just download the SP 54 in my 46c ides some weeks ago,  but no new functionality i found in r/3.. so i fed up of r/3 46c
    Now, I want to learn the new func of ECC6 (like xSOP, xSTEPS, SCM), so I just install the ECC 6 IDES (w2003 server,  SQL5, Athlon X2 4200, 4gb ram, raid). My instalation is OK, about 9 hours.
    I didnt install the Solution Manager (i found one solman ID in the SDN, thks BOB!!!).
    My problem is the IDES 6 has Support Package 002, so i need to install the SP 3 to 10 (pr the last stack). When i try to download SP from Marketplace (as i did with 46c), i didnt.
    I want to know if I can download this stuff or is a must to download via SolMan (as i read on the help).
    PS,  if there any "trick" pls explain  me.

    You need to configure "Maintenance Optimizer" in the Solution Manager (check the IMG for steps to do that).
    You need an official S-User number to confirm your download basket, then you can download the SPs.
