Hi,

offcourse u can apply support packs thru OS level and the procedure is.

Uncar the support pack at OS level using sapcar -xvf sapkb____

after extracting the files two files with extension .att and .pat will be xtracted

copy and paste those files in -

---

> usr\sap\trans\eps\in

after u have pasted those files in eps\in

Use TP to import the uncared support pack add the change request to TP and import it

cmd> TP import sid changeRequest(sapkb___)

u can also import the request by logging into the Sap server in the following manner

loginto ur sap server HIT

STMS

|

check the import queue if the request is in that queue just import it

!! if the request is not there do the following--

in STMS screen

go to Utilities --->other requests -->add

select the request and add it to the queue

after the request has been added

go to Overview(Lorry Icon) in STMS and select ur server(dev,prd,qas) and check its import queue

select ur request in the import queue and click on import ,

import will be started and after it has been completed u just need to confirm it.

Support Packages---->Confirm

check out the steps and if u have any problem in it a reply is welcomed.

and if support pack implementation is successfull do remember to reward points for it

Hi Bidwan,

if you want to know more about the Transport System,

i recommend you this book.

SAP Change and Transport Management

ISBN 978-1-59229-059-8

<a href="http://www.sap-press.de/katalog/buecher/titel/gp/titelID-1093?GalileoSession=34158833A3Ikh4.lB-U">http://www.sap-press.de/katalog/buecher/titel/gp/titelID-1093?GalileoSession=34158833A3Ikh4.lB-U</a>

Here you can learn the whole theory of the Transport System, and

there are many examples, also the use of the tp.exe.

Hi Bidwan,

For every support patch there is a cofile and datafile created in the respective directory. So i hope it would be possible to apply these patches if you try it out through the tp command. I haven't tried it out personally. But thinking logically it might be well possible.

Hi,

try to use the options delivered by the tp.

execute "tp.exe help" almost all the phases that the SPAM executes it's using the tp.exe

all the phases listed <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a7/a7a932845c11d2b421006094b9ea64/frameset.htm">here</a>
