How to revert changes after Support pack installation

[Former Member]

i am a newbie so please excuse me for asking this. I am wondering what will you do if the system becomes unstable after installing Support packages either it would be ABAP or JAVA. How can you revert the changes?

Please advise?

Thanks

You can't remove or revert support packages. If things go wrong big time, then do your database restore. If you have only minor errors, then go ahead and fix them (or if you are lucky, SAP support fixes it).

Luckily most problems happen on DEV and QAS first, so you should be prepared for the PROD system.

Yes, very true.

That is why it is so important to apply first the SPs on a test system and do some serious non regression testing.

Be also sure that you have a successful backup of production before applying SPs...

So you do the database restore and SAP will pickup the restored database automatically? In other words- Are you supposed to do anything on SAP after database restore?

Hi,

You do not have to do anything. SAP Will pickup your old things from the database.

A DB restore will take your DB to the same state as it was at the time of the last consistent backup. after that theres nothing else to do.
