Hi,

Attention: Customer has to define within the ticket all stack dependencies corresponding the implementation of the requested Support Packages/ADDONs/PLUGINs.
Support Packages (requested by CSN):
Customer requests SP Installation via CSN (DEV-PSS, DEV-PSS-INT)
IT PSS DEV will move suitable tickets to corresponding TCS components
Check, if the requestor is equal to the system owner (regarding to R3SYS system owner or SISM: overall person in charge (could also be a SAPNet distribution list)).
True: go ahead
False: Get approval of system owner or somebody of the distribution list within the corresponding CSN ticket by setting the ticket to u201CAuthor actionu201D (the author have to take care getting the approval of system owner).
Check, if a timeframe for import is mentioned by the system owner or author within the ticket. If not, set ticket to u201CAuthor actionu201D asking for a timeframe.
Logon to the system (client 000 and user tcsdev) and call transaction spam and check SP level and SPAM/SAINT version. (information is needed for download of the necessary SPu2019s). For requested NW Stack updates, please check SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/instguidesNW04 -> Operations -> Cross-NW or http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks -> SP Stack Information/SP Stack Download) for updated versions of the Support Package Stack Guide.
Check, if all necessary packages are available. If the package is not already released due to the schedule (http://intranet.sap.com/ocs-schedule), insert the link to SAPNet and set ticket back to author action, so that he can reopen the ticket, when the package is released and available.
Check if RFC Destination is configured properly (sm59 à Destination should be CSS à servprod.wdf.sap.corp should be the server) e.g. in a system with release 700 sm59 has following style (please also have a look into CSS note 182308 for logon data):
