Hi Jana,

Update your ABAP AS kernel, by shuting down the application server and all the services. Backup the directory /urs/sap/<SYSID>/sys/exe/run.

Then replace its content with the files inside the compressd kernel package.

Restart the server.

You should use transaction SPAM to import support packages for the AS ABAP. You must be logged in client 000.

First at all uncompress all the component support packages at os level inside the directory: /usr/sap/trans (the file are automatically reallocated inside the directory EPS). You also need the SAPCAR tool to do this.

Once all the components are uncompressed, run the transaction SPAM and under Support Packages menu, click on Load packages->from application server

After the packages are loaded, you are to define apropiate queues by clicking the button "Display/define". I recommend split the queue by components to don't overload the server.

Click on the menu command Support Package->Import queue.

Hi Jana,

please keep in mind, that you have to apply all missing patches (07, 08, 09, 10).
