Maintenance Optimizer - Relaxed Rules?

[Former Member]

I'll start a new question thread to reward the points.

Markus Döhr

, you stated in a recent post that:

"And you still don't need SolMan to download - you can still select them one-by-one without everything, you just have to download from the download basket instead of direct clicking on a link in the browser, that's the only change so far and I'm VERY happy with that."

Yet I still see the access is blocked for the support packages released later than April 2, 2007.

Let's take SAPKA70012 support package as an example. It's hidden from the standard search of support packages, yet it's visible here:

<a href="https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/spat/index.htm?sp1=SAPKA70012">https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/spat/index.htm?sp1=SAPKA70012</a>

Maybe I missed something but "Add to download basket" link is still deactivated. So is there an alternative way to add support packages to the download basket, which I don't know?

Thanks!

Marek, I think what Markus meant is that you don't use SolMan to physically download the files. Particularly in 3.2, all you do is confirm the items in the download basket, then you have to use the download manager to actually download.

SolMan adds nothing to the process of downloading support packages in 3.2 - it only adds work.
