SAP GUI component add on patch levels

[Former Member]

Hi

does anyone know how to identify what the installed front end component patch levels are?

If I use the information on the sap logon pad, the patch level displayed refers (I think) to the overall SAP GUI for Windows patch.

I am specifically looking for which BW Add on patch has been installed to determine if a patch update recommended by a SAP Note is required or not.

Thanks

Hayley,

You can quickly run the BW checker, which will tell you the BW patch level, or download SAPVER, which will tell you a little more information. There is also a table maintained in R/3 on all the BW clients used in the Early Watch reports, but it will take me a while to remember where I put the information.

The default location for the BW checker is c:\Program Files\sap\frontend\bw\sapbexc.xla

SAPVER is attached to Note # 526199.
