Hi,

I really appreciate your quick response.

The current software component installed is 2008_1_700 level 000. I want to apply the latest version of it. Could you guide me what are the requirements needed? Meaning is there any required Compenent version to ST-SER, ST-A/PI, ST-BC etc... Do I need to check the latest component version installed of that? Currently right now I' creating a Implementation plan about on how to apply and the requirements needed before applying the latest ST - PI.

Hi Lebron,

I'm not aware that there are any special requirements for installing ST-PI on a Solution Manager compared with installing it on a managed/satellite system. Have you already looked at note

1228898: "Installation/delta upgrade of ST-PI 2008_1"?

best regards,

Hi,

Under SAP Note 1228898 what does it mean of net runtime indicated on the Space requirement?

Hello James,

Net runtime only means that how much time will the upgrade takes place and ST-PI should not take more than 20 mins as suggested there

Normally ST-PI upgrades takes only few mins

what I guess is you will be upgrading to ST-PI 2008_1_710 now and there aren't many dependencies as such,only thing being SAP BASIS and SAP ABAP must belong to 700 release

Hi,

Can you expalin me this part on can I be able to check those if its the latest version?

o Latest R3trans, tp

o Latest SPAM/SAINT update

o Required Component Support Packages

Hello James,

SAP recommends that you must have the lastest

1. tp and R3 trans exe.you can check the version of your tp and R3trans in the exe folder and then if requred can download the latest version from market place

Normally this is not as important,in 99% of cases you will have no issues with the existing ones but still its peferable to have the latest versiona

2. you should apply the latest SPAM/SAINT patch from SPAM.

To find the current one go to t-code SPAM and you will find there in the top part of the screen SPAM version written

You can check at service marketplace then the current version ad go for the lates version.

This is again not as important but still preferable by SAP

3. well this is related to the support packs that you need to have in your system before applying ST-PI

the prerequiste is only SAP Basis and ABAP support packs of 700 release and that is already in your system,so you can go ahead and apply the new version
