XI Install - ABAP Support Packs + J2EE Support Package install

Hi
I am wondering what is recommended sequence for installing/upgrading kernel, ABAP Support Packages & J2EE Support Packages for XI installation.
Should we install/upgrade kernel, ABAP Support Packages & J2EE Support Packages before XI 3.0 is installed? Or should we install these only after installing and completing post install steps of XI 3.0.
The Web AS install guide recommends to install the patches immediately after installing it, but prerequisite for XI install is Web AS SR1 i.e SP9(ABAP + J2EE.
Any suggestions in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Chandu

Hi Shravan,
Thanks for the response.
I have already gone through the note. According to the note, I assume the following sequence has to be followed:
Install SAP Web AS (ABAP)
Install SAP Web AS (Java)
XI Install & post install steps
Support Pack Stack for ABAP & Java
XI Patches
However, when carrying out post install steps after XI installation, I am unable to perform some steps. Also, there is an issue with J2EE engine after XI install.
Further, I have installed and completed post install steps as per following successfully:
Install SAP Web AS (ABAP)
Install SAP Web AS (Java)
XI Install
Support Pack Stack for ABAP & Java
Post install steps
XI Patches
What are the implications of applying ABAP & Java patches before XI install or before completing post install steps.
Regards
Chandu

Support Pack Upgrade 5.3

We are currently at GRC 5.3 SP8 and we are upgrading to EHP5. According to SAP Note 1382385, we need to upgrade to at least SP13. We plan on upgrading to the latest version of 5.3 which is SP17.
In the ABAP systems, we are required to install each support pack before we can install the latest support pack.
On the Java side, are we required to install each support pack leading up to the latest? Or can we simply install the latest Java version?

Hi
Always JAVA and ABAP stack both should have same support packs with respective to GRC.
but when you apply support packs java side you can st right away load the recent only, but ABAP side one by one each should apply.

Difference between HR support packs and EHP.

Can anyone tell me the difference between HR support packs and EHP

Hi Harish,
Enhancement Packages- SAP enhancement packages for SAP ERP are optionally installed software innovations for SAP ERP 6.0. They include functional enhancements, industry specific functionality, and simplifications u2013 for example, to the user interface. With enhancement packages, you can easily adopt ongoing SAP innovations at a lower cost than full upgrades. In addition, enterprise services are delivered with enhancement packages.
Support Pack - If the same or similar bug is reported by multiple clients or end users, then SAP recognizes such bug corrects them and collects all these corrections in one place and adds some enhancements to the earlier version of SAP and then calls this as a SUPPORT PACK. In simple words collection of SAP NOTES is a SUPPORT PACK.
Enhancement packages are not support packages: Support Packages contain corrections and legal changes, SAP enhancement packages new functionality.
Do let me know if I helped you.
Thanks,
Padmaja.

SAP Kernel patch/Support pack Sequence

Hi,
I wanted to know if i need to follow up any order in applying latest kernel patch & Support Pack.
I have installed WAS 6.40 SR1 & want to upgrade to SPS 16. Before applying support pack do i need to apply latest
kernel ?
Is there any side effects for applying latest kernel patch ?
Kindly help me
Thanks,
ramki

Ramki, as other posts say the kernel update is part of SPS16 & should always be applied. But as to the order... it will most likely come down to business requirements and preference & may change for you from stack to stack.
Be sure to test first in your DEV environment (or similar) & always check the known issues notes which should tell you any patch to kernel dependancies that may dictate what order you have to install things (782140 is the note for WAS6.20, sorry don't have the WAS640 note number handy).
In terms of side effects? In my experience (4.0b - ecc6) the kernel will either work or not work (ie system will or wont start!) If it dosn't work roll back to the previous version (also keep a copy of the exe directory!) & things should all be OK.
Generally we always apply the kernel after the patches where I work (just fits in better with managing downtime on prod systems). However last time we patched the SPAM queue we defined was very large & not compatible with our R3Trans release when using the downtime minimised option (this was stated in the known issues note I mentioned earlier). So the kernel update was done 2-3 weeks before we rolled the patches in, once again just to manage prod system downtime better.
Hope that helps a little

Maintainance tasks for language package installed

Hi All,
May I ask inputs regarding installing language package. Basically, below are my questions.
- Are there any maintainance activities required following installation of a language package in the system?
- Are there any annual support packs for language packages?
- Say our ECC is EHP5 and we installed new language in our system, then we upgraded the same system to EHP6. Are there any activities that needs to be performed because of the upgrade even if the language is already installed in the system prior to the upgrade?
- Do difference in language installed in the systems affect the copied xml file during upgrade? Meaning, say we have dev and QA ecc system. We created stack file for dev for the ehp6 upgrade. Using that stack xml, upgrade dev system. Then a decision is made to install new language in the system. Thus it is installed in upgrade dev, and not upgraded QA. Now, we copy the stack xml file use in dev to be converted for QA. Would there impact on the upgrade process?
I would appreciate your inputs on the queries. Thanks.
Regards,
Philip

Hi Philip,
- It depends on what you did exactly during this installation. Could you please list the steps taken?
- There are no annual support packs. Language packages are shipped with every release of a new Support Package, with updates and corrections of the existing content (if any).
- With SPs as with EhPs, you will need to reinstall the language files for your system. It is hopefully rather quick as a follow-up step (not saying that the initial language deployment is tedious and hard work, but... Well, yes, it is) if you have not performed any translation activities in your installation.
- I don't think so since languages do not seem to be included in the stack (which would actually be counter-productive, dangerous and a dozen unnamable negative linguistic adjectives).
Hope that helps!

Cannot find Support Pack required to complete Language Install

I am having an issue with locating a Support Pack in order to complete a language install. SAPK-200AIINAPPINT in NO where to be found. I have green lights to move forward with every single support pack but this one - are their any other sites to download .car files besides SAP Service Marketplace? Any help would be grateful!!
Thanks,
Fred

Hello
Package SAPK-200AIINAPPINT
Short Description    SAP Exchange Infrastructure 2.0
RFC Destination      PATCH_SYSTEM_YA2
I can't find it on SAP Service Marketplace though.
I can only see SAP Exchange Infrastructure 3.0
www.service.sap.com/patches -> download -> support packages and patches ->
Entry by Application Group -> SAP NetWeaver -> Technology components releases prior to SAP NetWeaver -> SAP EXCHANGE INFRASTRUCTURE ->
SAP EXCHANGEINFRASTRUCTURE 3.0
I think that it may be out of maintenace (see note 52505)
I would open a message to check this though.
Thanks

Edited by: Srinivas dev on May 28, 2008 10:42 AM

Hello Srinivas,
You can install the Support Package through the Transaction SPAM - Support Package Manager
If you not downloaded the support pack then,
1. Download the from [SAP Support Package Stacks |https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/sp-stacks]
2. Choose the SP Stack you want to download (BI-SP17 in your case)
3. Download through the [SAP Download Basket |https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/download-basket]which will have a installation file as well
Also see [Planning to Realize New Scenarios|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/60/0b94412894ac5fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm]

Experts,
While applying support packs for ABAP, it failed due to system issue. However, we could not logon to system or proceed further. It errors out the logon screen.
Also, it would be last resort to restore the system. Is there anyway, we could logon to system and correct the error?
appreciate your help.
Thanks,

ABAP + Java Support Pack installation

When updating support packs in an ABAP+Java environment (ECC 6.0), is there any reason why one could not do the Java Support Packs first, followed by the ABAP support packs? We are trying to update our support packs as efficiently as possible, and would like to update our java support packs first, followed by the ABAP stack a few days later.
In regards,
Michael

Hi!
There can probably not be a general answer to that question. There are some functionality where ABAP and JAVA are closely linked and where you'll most likely run into problems if the levels do not match.
Technically there is no problem as applying the SP-Stack for Java and applying SPs for ABAP are independent (technical) tasks, but you will have to VERY carefully check the dependencies and carefully test this in a QA-environment.
If you want my advice: Try to find a 'big shot' solution where you do all in one move.

Error when Installing Eax-console as part of Audigy support pack 3.6

<div class="lia-component-body lia-message-body">Hey there, out of nowhere I have the following problem:
I have used several versions of this audigy support Pack up to now, both in Windows XP and Windows 7 RC and all worked fine for me. Most recently I used 3.5 and 3.6 in both OS for a short time.
now I had to format my harddisk an have installed a clean version of Win XP SP3. I installed an update pack (winboard.org), the latest direct X and drivers for nvidia motherboard and videocard. Then, when I tried to install this support pack, I get an error messagge I-00 when eax-console should have been installed, something about CTengine being unable to be installed.
I read through many of the solutions here in the forum, since this error seems to be not so rare. But up to now, nothing helped. This is, what my install.log tells me:
[EAX Console]
GUID={5B7E626-7885-4FC3-A66A-73548A4F0FD}
Warning=I-008 CTRegSvr fails to register C:\Programme\Creative\EAX\Karaoke.exc.
[Common Audio Driver Interface]
GUID={700932B3-A964-4878-82A2-96054622AF7}
Warning=I-007 RegSvr32 fails to un-register C:\Programme\Creative\ShareDLL\CADI\ctcadi.dll.
All other install.log from the other parts of the pack contain no warning. Everything except the EAX-console works fine, if I try to start that, I get an error "No components are registered", an I don't have a "karaoke" register, but otherwise it works well, I can use the effects and cmss.
What the heck could I do?
I made an new thread, since nobody seamed to react to my post in the support pack thread.

HRe: Error when Installing Eax-console as part of Audigy support pack 3.6o What you have is a missing file, or perhaps your system is wanting to install direct X redistributable or something similar. Do a search on your system for install.log and when you find the newest one, or second to newest one, open it with notepad. It will tell you exactly what you are missing. I was trying to install some components for my Elite Pro and it said in the install.log that it could not find DXREDIST. So I copied a version I had to the installing program's folder and it worked!? So take a look at that log and see what is missing......write back with your results if you dont mind. In the original post I had seen the registration problems with components. You can manually run regsvr32 with the /? switch and see how to unregister that yourself and then try the installation again.

Downloading and installing a support pack

Hi,
I was wondering how I can download and install BI support pack 11 GUI 15?

Hi David,
Do you have your Satellite system configured in SMSY? Are you getting EWA reports generated under transaction DSWP for this satellite system in question? If so, then you are connected to SOLMAN. You can also do RFC testing via either transaction SMSY or SM59 or SDCCN within SOLMAN or the Satellite system.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Mark

Trial versions: How to install notes and/or support packs

Is it possible to install notes and support packs in a trial system?
Can a connection with SAPOSS be made?

The software you downloaded is for Mac OS X; to get the Mac OS 9 version of the software, download the file for your language from the following pages (iPod, iTunes). The Mac OS 9 iPod software only works for first and second generation iPods, and requires 9.21 to run. Mac OS 9's iTunes will only sync first and second generation iPods, as well as third generation iPods which are running version 2.0x of the firmware.
