Hi Jagraj,

You can go directly to SP 14. Java support packs are cumulative, there is no need to download SP12. You should read the PDF that shows you how to install support packs. The PDF is available on service.sap.com under upgrade & installation guide.

Hi,

Jagraj

If ur Minimum sp stack level is SP09 than u directly apply SP14. u don't need to update it to sp12.

The following file for sp14 u can donload from service.sap.com/swdc

You must upgrade ur WebAs 6.40 ( J2EE Server ) befor applying portal patch

For Webas 6.40 u download following file

SAPINST14_0-20000118.SAR ---> WebAS 6.40 SP14(Part 1/4): SAP Installer

Now for database oracle or SQL server

CTRLORA14_0-20000118.SAR ---> WebAS 6.40 SP14(Part 2/4): SAPInst Control File for Oracle

<b>OR</b>

CTRLMSS14_0-20000118.SAR ---> WebAS 6.40 SP14(Part 2/4): SAPInst Control File for MS SQl

(or download appropriate according to ur database)

J2EERTOS14_0-20000118.SAR ---> WebAS 6.40 SP14(Part 3/4): OS Depend. parts of Java Runtime

J2EERT14_0-10001982.SAR ---> WebAS 6.40 SP14(Part 4/4): OS Indep. Parts of Java Runtime

The above four file needed for WebAs patch. put this four file in same folder and extract it using sapcar.exe

run sapinst.exe from sapinst folder and applying J2EE patch.

after applying J2EE patch the following file are used for portal & KM platform

SAPINST14_0-10002786.SAR ---> EP 60 SP14 SAP Installer

EP6PORTAL14_0-20000394.SAR ---> EP 6.0 SP14

put the above five file in one folder and extract using sapcar.exe if u don't use KM platform don't put the

km file in the folder.

run sapinst.exe from sapinst folder and applying patch

Hi Jagraj,

If you want your portal to be on SP12 and not SP14 then you need to download the SP12 files from service.sap.com/swdc

You will first need to upgrade your SAP J2EE engine to SP12 and then the upgrade the portal platform and KMC to SP12. follow the steps below:

1. download the SAPCAR.exe file from service.sap.com/swdc. this tool is needed to unsar the support package files.

2. download the following support packages:

KMC:

EP6KMC12_0-10002972.SAR

EP6KMC12P_3-10002972.sar

Portal platform:

EP6TOOLS12_0-20000394.SAR

EP6PORTAL12_0-20000394.SAR

EP6CTRL12_0-10002786.SAR

SAPINST12_0-10002786.sar

SAP J2EE engine:

OS indep

J2EERT12_0-10001982.SAR

OS Dep (these files are for win32/MSSQL, you need to download for the OS and database that you are using)

CTRLMSS12_0-20000118.SAR

CTRLMSS12P_1-20000118.SAR

J2EERTOS12_0-20000118.SAR

SAPINST12_0-20000118.sar

3. using the sapcar.exe tool unsar the contents of .sar files in the above three groups into three separate folders. (run the sapcar.exe from command prompt)

4. each of these folders should have an sapinst.exe file. use this file to apply the packages.

Remember to follow the sequence, first the J2EE engine support packs, then the portal packs.

Hope this helps.
