HI,

In my office i have updated the SPAM version to SAPKD70038, but i have not updated prerequisites SAPKD70022,70023,70024,70025,70026,70027,70028,70029,70030,70031,70032,70033,70034,70035,70036,70037. In this case can i uninstall or reverse the SPAM version into earlier one that is SAPKD70021 which was the old version SPAM and then update the SPAM Patches one by one.

Hi,

SPAM patches are not like other support patches where you have to import in sequence. You can directly update to latest SPAM version and all previous packages are not required. So, what you did is right.

Also, there is no way you can roll back your patches once you applied except database restore. So, if there is need to revert back the patches then you need to restore the database backup of timestamp before applying the patches.

Thanks

Hello Gopi,

You can directly update SPAM/ SAINT to the latest support package as it does not have any prerequisite.

You can not revert an applied support package unless you have a backup of the system before applying a support package.

Let us know if you have any querry.

Mark the thread as answered if your query is resolved.

Cheers!!!
