IDES EHP7 - implement Patches

Former Member

Hi all

We'd like to implement Patches for SAP_BASIS and SAP_ABA in IDES EHP7 (740 SP04).

However a patch to 74005 (and 74008) is no longer with SPAM, only with SUM.

As I read in  799639 - IDES - General Information about the usage of IDES systems  patches and upgrades are not supported, while making it MOPZ-compatible is not possible.

In my opinion there is a difference between not supported and not possible.


My question is: how can I implement at least SAP_BASIS and SAP_ABA (along with other prerequisite patches like PI, BW, GW, UI) (on my own risk).

Is it Solman I have to work with (change the technical system so it fits a NW 7.4 standalone)? Is it operating system commands like tp or R3trans? Can I change the patch-file / use debugging to skip the "FORCE_SUM"-like check?

Does anyone have experience with that? Maybe someone already tried a specific approach and knows it won't work...

BR

As far as I know the "Manually prepared directory" option will not work here. Check SAP note 1641062 - Single component update and patch scenarios in SUM for more information.

If SPAM/SAINT prohibits you from patching the system to higher SP level due to the fact that the system is based on NetWeaver 7.40 release as mentioned in this SAP note 1803986 - Rules to use SUM or SPAM/SAINT to apply SPs for ABAP stacks then you have no other way around.

You want to play then use sum with manual option rather than xml.

Manual option is not supported for ABAP only systems.
