your system will out of legal changes and the new development SAP has done and resolved known security related bugs.

Also there will be difficulty when you go for upgrade in future. Always, make sure you use latest SAP kernel and insatll support packs atleast once a year or so.

Whats stopping you to not apply support packs?

SAP recommends to apply stacks than individual patches. follow service.sap.com/sp-stacks for more information. Which I think clear all your queries about support pack.

[markus_doehr2]

> so i want to know if i am not updating support packages then what will problem occurs in these system,

just to add:

on the mentioned site you can generate a "side effect report" which show you what will change.

Why do you have a three system landscape to test and evaluate patches? You could then even go with a production system only

Hi Bhavesh,

The frequency of upgrading Support packages on your landscape,can be decided based on your need. If your current stack works without any issues, then you dont have to perform an upgrade every time there is a new SP released.

But if you require a bugfix or an additional feature which is available in a latest SP, then you can perform an upgrade. So you can do it on a need basis also, if you find regular upgrades too cumbersome.

Having said that, it is a good practice to upgrade atleast once an year. Its okay to skip 3-4 SPs, but after that you should upgrade. Since you have different Q and prod systems, the risk is minimum.

You can upgrade only components that you use. SAP_ABA and SAP_BASIS have to be patched always.

Hi,

Can you grow a tree without water ?

Support Package is collection of corrections, bug fix & development from SAP there's no way to fix the error without SP.
