<b>SUpport Packs

</b>

A set of corrections for serious software errors in the SAP system.

Support Packages are compiled periodically and made available in the SAP Service Marketplace.

<b>Service Packs</b>

A grouping of different services for a quotation.

A service package can be agreed between a service provider and a customer within a service contract or as part of a complex service plan, which can also be additionally agreed in a service contract.

<b>Kernel Upgrade</b>

The Kernel is the core of the system, every realease bring modifications to the way the kernel handles data and memory in order o optimize or correct the previous one.

It is recommendable to keep your system one version behind the newest released version as usually all necesary testing have been done and its better documented.

HI,

You have got all the info regarding Support Packs and following is the procedure to apply support packs

before applying a support pack check the current support pack level

login into the client 000(user shouldnt be sap*)

Hit SPAM->All support pack ->display

after checking the current level

in SPAM

Go to support Packages (in the User menu) ->Load Packages from front End->select from the location where you have saved Suport packs -> follow the instruction( it will prompt you to decompress the files click continue)

after done with that the support pack's number will appear in the QUEUE Box

select new support packs-> Display ->select the support pack->Queue(lorry Icon ) ->schedule either in bakground or Dialogue

after it has been applied just confirm it

support Packs-> confirm

your support Pack is applied

check all support packs and the status should be IMPORTED
