What level of Java patch should be applied With ABAP patch level 19

Hi All,
I have a newly installed Netweaver 2004 s XI system. the support pack level is
SAP_ABA         0019
SAP_BASIS      0019
PI_BASIS          0019
ST-PI                 0016
SAP_BW           0019
ST-A/PI             0000
What should be the level for Java package and JSPM should be applied. Can we apply level 17 or should ABAP and JAVA be of the same level??
Regards,
Priya

HI,
Actually now my Java version and all java patches are on the level 19. But my IGS is on level 13. The highest level available is also only 16. So do i need to upgrade my IGS as it will require kernel upgrade or level 13 is ok?

Service Release (SR) - which Support Package Levels?

Hello,
I have a general question in terms of Service Releases of a SAP solution:
Is there an easy way to find out on which Support Package Level (or Support Package Stack) a Service Release (SR) of a SAP Solution (or NetWeaver itself) is based?
Can I get this information in the SAP Service Marketplace?
Example: mySAP <solution> SR1 is based on Support Package Level <nn> of component <comp1> and Support Package Level <nn> of component <comp2>.
Any hint is appriciated.
Thanks!
Heiko

The interesting bit is that SR1 was released in April; while SPS6 was available in
January. The same goes for SR2; released in December; while SPS9 was
available in September.
There is a gap of 3 months between the SPS was released and the SR is released
I assume that patches that have been released for the SPS are included in the SR
therefor a system that has SPS6 or SPS9 applied is not neccisarily the same as
SR1 or SR2.
Hope this helps...
Kind regards,

Official Support from SAP on Support package levels

I have NW7 Dual stack system. Currently at SP10
Looking for an "official Policy" on supported SP levels from SAP, if it exists already. Please help me by providing a link that information or a document if it exists.
We are working on an ongoing infrastructure support policy for this installation.
Thanks in advance.
Vasu

You can run a certain level of support packages as long as you can live with the "deficiencies" resulting out of that. You can run on the initial installed level if you can deal with the fact, that you will need to apply a LOT of notes in case you run into an error (because of dependent notes because of the low support package level).
There may also be cases where it´s impossible to provide a correction by note (e. g. table changes) and where corrections can only be delivered by support packages.
Last but not least the law may force you to install a certain level (e. g. fiscal year change) to get the newest (and correct) data out of the system for all kinds of changes that may be necessary to comply the law.
Basically you can leave your system on a certain support package as long as you wish but it may become difficult or even impossible to give you a solution if more than an ABAP code correction is necessary.
This is especially true on dual stack systems where a change in the portal may force you to upgrade your complete backend to a certain level because there the ABAP + Java stack must be in sync --> one of the reasons why we totally avoid dual stack installations.

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.

How to find out EHP Patch Level

Hi All,
Sorry if this has been answered before but with it hasn't or I'm terrible at finding things on here.
We have recently (this weekend) upgraded our BI 7.0 to BI7.01 (EHP1).
We've come across an issue in Java and the following note: 1354569 has a solution for us except that it's saying that this issue is resolved in SP5 or EHP1 SP4 PL5.
I can tell from our system that we are currently on EHP1 , but I can't tell what SP or patch level we're on.
The Java Kernal tells me the following: 7.01 PatchLevel 58805. (this was taking from System Information on the Java stack)
Does this mean that we're on SP5? and if so what PL ???
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Paul

Hi Paul,
Go to http://<server name>:5<instance number>00. On this page log on to System Information. There you can find on which patch level you are in EHP1.
Also, if you will click on all components tab then you will come to know patch level of all components in Java.
Thanks

Minimum Patch Level Required to install Netweaver 7.0 and Portal

Hello Everyone,
We are currently on ECC6.0 and I need to know what the minimum Patch Level needs to be to install Netwever 7.0 and Portal.
Thank you,
Ahhsap

Hi,
As Sunny suggested, check if you have an existing portal instance.
If not:
Like I mentioned earlier, if you had upgraded ECC 6 to EHP4, then you need to install a separate NW EHP1 Portal. Since both your existing EHP4 ECC system and the new EHP1 portal are based on Netweaver 7.01 release, your systems will be in a consistent release level. It is recommended to install a separate Netweaver portal instance. SAP no longer recommends dual stack (abap + java) installations.
If you do have an existing portal instance, just upgrade the portal to Netweaver 7.0 EHP1 (if ECC is in EHP4) or latest SP for Netweaver 7.0 (if ECC is =< EHP3). I believe this can be done by either SAP EHPi or JSPM.
Cheers
Rishi

SAP Support package information request

Hi,
after some time in my company are considering to upgrade from:
- SAP ERP 6.0, SP 8
- SAP Netweaver 7, SP 13
to
- SAP ERP EHP4 6.0, SP 4
- SAP Netweaver 7, SP 20.
So, in the first case we have to apply an enhancement, in the second to apply a major level of support package.
I would like to know - in advance for both systems - the object lists that will be affected by these changes.
How can I do?
Can anyone please tell me where I can get this information.
Thanks,
Giuseppe

Hi,
> after some time in my company are considering to upgrade from:
> - SAP ERP 6.0, SP 8
> - SAP Netweaver 7, SP 13
> to
> - SAP ERP EHP4 6.0, SP 4
> - SAP Netweaver 7, SP 20.
>
You should upgrade your netweaver to EHP1 level if you are upgrading ERP 6.0 to EHP4. It is not recommended to have nw on 7.00 release if you are upgrading ECC to EHP4.
Also, objects which will be effected that you can check in table TADIR.
Thanks

SAP patch level to change the Gratuity Tax ceiling

Dear friends,
What is the patch level to change the Gratuity Tax Ceiling.

HI
There are not many changes reported in Gratuity from long back since year 2008. There is a new note on Superannuation and ESOPs(Note 1396661 - New Perquisite Rules in Budget 2009-Superannuation & ESOP's) but no new note on gratuity. The last note on gratuity i.e. Note 1115073 is valid from 16.01.2008 and from patch level 27.
The latest patch available is SAPKE60056 but you can have gratuity calculation in as low as SAPKE60027.
