Hi Rahul,

Dont use sap* or ddic users just create a admin user with the profiles sap_all,sap_new then login to the client 000 using this user,Prior uploading this you have to uncar the support package files,just uncar them using sapcar -xvf xxx.car

then try uploading them using the spam this time you just select upload from application server.Might be the support package would be greater than 10MB so you can not upload it from frontend.Hope this helps.

Reward points if helpfull.

Hi,

Dont use sap* user for importing the support packages. It has only display option.

SAP recommended to use DDIC user only for applying support packages in 000 client.

Hi

Please load the SP with DDIC like authorisation user not with SAP* and DDIC itself. Correct me if am wrong.

Hi,

try logging in client 000 as user DDIC (with profile S_A.SYSTEM and SAP_ALL , you can

check the user privileges using transaction code SU01). Or perhaps log in as some other user

in client 000 but just give the correct privileges.

Good Luck

Hi Rahul,

If you are sure you are in client 000, and authorization is ok, check follows:

Please confirm the file size of the package to be imported.

There is a limitation when you import the package from frontend, I remember it's 10MB.

The best way is copy the files to the server and import.

Yes gurus, I am doing it through the client 000 only and user is SAP*.

Hello Rahul,

May sound wierd but please check if SAP* has SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW?

Hello Rahul,

I think you are not in client 000. Please confirm. Support pack import needs to be done via 000 only.

HI Rahul ,

I hope you are doing all these activities in client 000.If not then you should apply patches and add-ons in client 000 only.

Best Regards
