SP's Patches Applied to R/3

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I was wondering, how I will know what changes were affected if a certain SP is applied in R/3 or in BW systems. For ex: "SAP Kernel 6.40 patch 196", "SAP_OCS 6.20 patch 23" and "SAP_BASIS 6.20 patches 61-63".

How will I know what upgraded and what notes were applied. Please provide details.

for support packs, check tcode SPAM, button PACKAGE LEVEL.

for kernel, check SM51, button RELEASE NOTES

for notes, tcode SNOTE

HI Bigtoja,

Go to SM51 > click Release Notes

Check out the Support Package Text section.

Click on the support package name (e. g. "Basis Support package for XY"), a window will open where you see all the notes that are contained in the support packages.

SPs are usually code corrections and very rarely add new functionality.
