Dear All,

I want to make homogenious system copy . the prerequisition is shown below given in sap note

" Prerequisite for the homogeneous or heterogeneous system copy without a change of the database platform.

Support Package/Tool Patch level

R3load >= 17

BW 3.5 >= 10

Basis 6.40 >= 16

My question is

1. how to check the patch level for R3load ?

2. to check Basis 6.40 patch level , i have checked through transection spam - package level -

Component I Release Level Highest SP Short Description of Compon

SAP_BASIS 640 0009 SAPKB64009 SAP Basis Component

SAP_ABA 640 0009 SAPKA64009 Cross-Application Component

In SAPMMC in the application server,in the required SAP system ,expand the Application server icon, under system status (expand) you will find---system configration where you find R/3 Kernel Release and R/3 Kernel Patch level....

1. type r3load.exe -help and you should get the relevant command to see the patch level. Alternately, you can also check the R3load.exe.log file.

2. Yes

can you pl. brief it

It might help if you first told us what your operating system is...

But anyways:

Go to command prompt as user <sid>adm.

In case of Windows: Do what Prasad Kamath suggested.

In case of Unix type: R3load -v

1. Read what you posted:

-v show version

So obviously for Windows it is the same as for Unix:

r3load -v

2. There are many components; each may have their own patchlevel.

SAP Basis patch level usually will not be the same as R3load patch level.

3. Yes.
