Does support pack write over snotes?

Hi,
If I have put in SAP notes via transaction snote and the SAP installs a support pack which may contain or may not contain the SAP note.
Does the support pack write over the snote?
Or does it migrate the support pack with the snote?
Or does the snote like changing code with modification assistant show in transaction SPAU?
regards
Baran

SPAM -> Support pack transaction do the same job has SNOTE.
And Support pack is a collection of Notes.
So when SPAM go to the program and see the note is already applied .. SPAM don't do anything (if program is correct and not modified).

How to flush Delta queue for future SAP upgrades/support pack !

Guys,
I'm making documentation regards to " How to flush Delta Queues" in case SAP wanted to upgrade the system or any support pack. Please anyone let me know the effective way to flush out the delta queue in step by step methods. I really appreciate your help.

1. Run V3 for associated application(s), this will load any potential delta data to the delta queues.
2. Run the delta load for each datasource twice. The second load will clear the delta repeat data so that there should not be any more data in the delta queues defined with the format of the current datasources.
Does this help?

Support Pack Level Upgrade in BI 7.0

Hi all,
Can anyone let me know what are the possible issues that would occur after upgrading support pack level in BI 7.0.
As far as I know a BI consultant would participate in the upgrade activities like BI objects check, SPAU, query check, etc. Can anyone let me know if there are are any other activities to be performed.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Sunny.

Hi
There is any customer specific development done by SAP in the previous system. If so, the time to act is just after the pre upgrade study only. The customer would only want to retain the customer specific module developed by SAP. We need to get SAPu2019s intervention in the project before we start the upgrade. SAP would develop certain patches to be run on the previous system to capture all the customer specific development and then they would run some patches on ECC system u2013 this would release the customer specific development in the new system (ECC./BI). This is a very crucial and important check of the step. If not taken care of at the proper time, it might hamper the Customer Specific development on the new system.
It is to be assured that the new system is at the latest stack level for ABAP, XI, BI etc before we start the SPDD and SPAU phase
Only one request is to be made for SPDD. For SPAU too, only one request should be made.
Previous system sandbox should be available for reference during the entire upgrade project and should not be scrapped before the Go Live.

PI System Support Pack Upgraded from 04 to 07

Hi Guys,
In PI system basis people upgraded support pack 04 to 07.
how i will check the PI system functionality after upgrading support package 04 to 07...
first basis people upgrated in PI Development system. after they will do in PI Quality and PI Production.
is there any effect on PI existing interfaces once it comes to live system production..
can any one please help me on this.
Thanks,
Siva.

first basis people upgrated in PI Development system. after they will do in PI Quality and PI Production.

backward compatibility is provided so if you upgrade a SP then your existing interfaces will continue to run without any issue/ modification.
The only thing that you need to take care is that all your environments (DEV, QA, PROD) should be on same level so that transport of objects is not affected.

Support pack Upgradation

Hi Gurus
I have couple of doubts on my Transports.We are upgrading support packs on BI 7.0.
They upgraded on Development System and They are planning to upgrade support packs on Testing and Production System.I want to transport from Develoment to Testing System.
What would be the effect on Transport if I transport objects from Dev System to Testing System when they are on different Support packs.Can I migrate the Objetcs or not .If so what would be the effect.Please let me know.
Could any one let meknow how to apply SAP notes once the basis apply Support Pack Upgrade.I need to do this down the road.Any help will be appreciatable and assign points.
Thanks,
Suryam.

Hi,
Usually SAP notes are applied by the BASIS team. Notes are nothing but code changes provided by SAP for the std SAP programs.
Also in case you the transports, I would do thorough checking as patch levels are different on both the systems and the functionality might be different. For ex. if a patch upgrade came with some new features in query designer and those features were used in development, they'll not be available in test system after you transport as the patch levels are different. After patch upgrade to the test system, you might have to retransport.
Cheers,
Kedar

Support pack SAPKB70014 stuck at ddic activation

Hi!
While upgrading Support Pack SAPKB70014, import stuck at phase DDIC_ACTIVATION, reason for error is TP_STEP_FAILURE, the return code is 0012 and the error message: OCS Package SAPKB70014, tp step A, return code 0012.
I can see in the log of the import queue that the job RDDMASGL was terminated and I found the entry "ABAP / 4 processor: EXSORT_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY" in the log of that job.
In SAP memory analysis (transaction st02) I can see that maximal 285 MB heap memory were used while 2 GB are possible. During installation of the support pack always 8 GB of physical memory were free in the OS. The SAP system is running under Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2 with 12 GB of physical memory.
What's the reason for this and what can I do?
Thanks in advance!
Nico Wallmeier

Hi
Please help
I am new in Basis my system has 4GB Ram running windows system 32. To what value should I set my memory parameters.

Embedded BI - System Upgrade, Support Package application and so on

Since Netweaver '04, SAP R/3 and SAP BW/SEM were separated system.
Now, with Netweaver 2004s and the "embedded BI", they are unified on the same installation.
1)The upgrade operations for R/3 and BW are separated or in the same package?
So, support package installation is cumulative?
2)When R/3 is down for upgrade/support pack---> BW is Down?
When BW is down for upgrade/support pack---> R/3 is Down?
3) System crash is cumulative?
Points for every useful answer,
Thank you, Claudio

The whole scenario depends upon if you are using embedded BI or a stand alone BI.
1)The upgrade operations for R/3 and BW are separated or in the same package?
So, support package installation is cumulative?
In either case upgrade operations are separated
2)When R/3 is down for upgrade/support pack---> BW is Down?
When BW is down for upgrade/support pack---> R/3 is Down?
embedded BI - Yes as being on the same instance
stand alone No, upgrade is independent on a technical/application standpoint
3) System crash is cumulative?
embedded BI - Yes
stand alone NO

Support Pack Upgrade Strategy

Hi Experts,
I am trying to develop a strategy for testing SP upgrades in development and "okaying" them for migration into production.
What steps do you normally take to ensure your system works as intended and the update is really for production?
I would think to go through and verify all of the changes from the SAP note which contains the SP detail, but what else? It is often the case that implementing a SP has an effect on other functionality.
Please share your thoughts and experiences.
Thanks,
Grace Rae

Hi Grace,
Firstly, this question should be posted in the Basis forums You will have more experts who dealt with these activities there.
Regarding the support pack upgrade strategy, we would normally implement it in the test systems, and closely monitor the system performance in peak and normal hours, background jobs, and any other issues that are highlighted during the monitoring period. If there are no issues reported by the functional testing team, we will go ahead implementing it in production system.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Raghu

Can anyone update me on what needs to be done from the functional side if we upgrade the Support pack level.
We are upgrading from Support Pack 11 to 16 and are currently in APO 5.0. What precautions and updates we need to do for the same. I would appreciate if some step wise process can be defined, for this. Also would like to know the difference between SPK 16 and 17.
Thanks,

Hello Harsh,
Have you checked the Release & Upgrade Info section in the SAP Service portal (service.sap.com). This containa ample information on this.

Except.                CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FUNC
Date and Time          10.09.2010 09:41:37
Short text
     Function module "POSS_UIREQ_OPT_SUBMIT" not found.
What happened?
     The function module "POSS_UIREQ_OPT_SUBMIT" is called,
     but cannot be found in the library.
     Error in the ABAP Application Program
     The current ABAP program "SAPLSTXC" had to be terminated because it has
     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
     An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
     The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FUNC', was
      not caught in
     procedure "OPEN_FORM" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
     Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
     exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
     The reason for the exception is:
     The program "SAPLSTXC" contains the CALL FUNCTION statement.
     The name of the function module to be called is "POSS_UIREQ_OPT_SUBMIT".
     No function module exists with the name "POSS_UIREQ_OPT_SUBMIT".
     All function modules are listed in the Function Library (SE37).
Possible reasons:
a) Wrong name specified. Pay particular attenti
    upper/lower case and underscores ("_").
    or
b) Transport error
c) In the case of an enqueue/dequeue module,
    the lock object may not have been activated
    (ABAP/4 Dictionary).
When i tried to check function module it is not there..
Could you please help on this?

BSI Tax Factory Upgrade:HR Support packs

Hi All,
We are starting with upgrade of BSI tax Factory from 8.0 to 9.0. And as per SAP main note '1469858' for upgrade, the support
pack required is 'HRSP61' but we currently have 'HRSP59'. Also, CLC 61 was applied for 2010 year end activities.
So, with CLC 61 present, would it be possible to upgrade to 9.0 without upgrading to HRSP 61 ?
In other words I want to confirm if CLC 61 includes the Tax Factory 9.0 updates.
Thanks,
Avinash

Hi Avinash,
I just updated relevant information for your query in the following thread:

Hi Senthil,
of course it is always recommended to use the newest Support Package Stack,
but if your system (your business processes) are working fine, I would recommend you to
import support package only then when you have an error or you want to have a special fiunctionality.
Some customers play support packages into the system only twice a year, because the business processes
should be tested after the sp import.

Steps to configure solman to approve support packs

I have installed a Solution Manager System.
What are teh steps to be done to connect the SOLMAN system to SAP, so that i can login to SOLMAN to approve Support packs.

Hi Balaji,
             First you have to add the solution in the solution manager you can do
              that by transaction 'DSWP' .Then go to transaction smsy and add the
               R/3 systems which you have installed. In this transaction smsy,you
               have to add the server and the database by giving the necessary details
              then it will automatically creates the necessary rfc's.
              After doing this you have to go to Transaction 'SOLUTION_MANAGER'
              then click on the change management. Then go to maintainance
              optimizer. Here it will ask u which solution and then for which system u
               want to update.
              Revert back if you any queries.
Reward points if helpfull.
