SM13 transaction code is basically used to monitor the update statistics.In this t code you can find out if any uncommited updates are there for a particular user.

You can check critical updates and non critical updates here.And also you can specify the date and time when there is an update error happened in your system.

In netweaver system, Shift +F5 will lead you to the administration of the update system.

We can check the updates in sm13 . This will be used frequently by

admins to have a look at the processing of V1/V2 updates.

Usually V1 is more critical than V2. If you see any errors,

then it is possible to rectify and

re-update the same in SM13.

Update management supports the following functions:

Selecting and Displaying Updates

Analyzing Cancelled Updates

Reorganize update records

Configuring Update Groups

Display and reset update statistics

Display update server

SM13 : (Update Requests overview)

This transaction is useful to figure the status of update system. Incase an update is inactive we can figure out the same from this transaction and necessary action can be taken and update can be activated again.
