Hi,

Check whether R3trans and TP is updated or not.

Did you updated the statitcs before starting to applying patch.

Thanks

Hello Pumacheder,

While applying support packages in your system you can refer below steps to avoid unnecessary long run import.

- Kernel upgrade to with latest R3trans/tp executables

- DB statistics run before import

- upgrading SPAm/SAINT to latest version

- monitoring SP import status via SAP tcodes --> SM66, SM37 with job status ,

- At OS level you need to check memory untlization in progress by proccess ids like tp etc. You can verify status of SAP standered imports by checking /usr/sap/trans/tmp ,SLOG and ALOG files

- Also verify if you have sufficient space left in /usr/sap directory while imports

I am not sure whether this option prompts in SPAM but while applying addon you can change options of imports to :

Conventional Import Mode

Import mode downtime-minimized

Hope this will be helpful for you.

Hello Purna, Have you upgraded your system with latest kernel(Disp+work, R3trans) and also applied the latest SPAM/SAINT version like 700/36 before applying the support packs ?

Make sure while applying support packs DB back-up is not running as it may slow down the patch application.

If you could check the slog & alog files and send us the details it would help in further analysis.
