Applying support packages from OS level

[#1]

Hi,

I have downloaded the support package SAP-BASIS and uploaded in the directory /usr/sap/SID/EPS/in then defined the respective queue successfully.Can anybody please tell me the procedure to apply it from OS level instead of importing from SPAM.

Your help would be more useful..please give the steps

Thanks in advance

Denial,

SP can be applied by following cmd from OS level

E:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\uc\NTI386>tp import <SAPKB70013> <SID> pf=\usr\sap\trans\bin\TP_DOMAIN_<SID>.PFL tag=spam -Dclientcascade=yes -Drepeatonerror=8

But as suggested earlier it is recommended not to use this method.

Hi

As it was not suggested to use this command.

but in future if you stuck inbetween the BASIS patch installation you can use this command to re-run again where you stuck by checking the logs

tp r3i <BASIS PATCH Number> <SID> pf = TP_DOMAIN_<SID>.PFL tag=spam

tp r3i all <SID> pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_<SID>.PFL tag=spam -Dclientcascade=yes -Drepeatonerror=8

Daniel,

It is not possible to apply support packages at OS level. Please use SAP transaction SPAM as it has to go through 29 steps. You can execute report to check all the phases of SPAM.

Hi,

Please do not try this - it may jeopardize your whole system. This is because, although SP's are nothing but transports - there are certain pre- & post- activities done by SPAM - so please avoid fromdoing this.

Hai,

Support packages should not be applied through OS level. When applied from SPAM you get to know the dependencies in the objects which will be normally corrected using SPDD/SPAU tcodes.

But this step is not possible when you use OS level transports using 'tp'.

You can only apply Support Packages from SPAM. Just out of curiosity why you want to apply them from OS ?
