SAP Support Package Manager?

[Former Member]

I'm trying to install the SAP patch "SAPKW70012" to my SAP discovery server using transaction "SPAM". I get the error:

"SAPKW70012 requires at least version 0021 of the

Support Package Manager"

Where do I download a newer version of "Support Package Manager"?

Please provide specific steps and don't just say "go to http://service.sap.com/patches". These patch sites have very complex navigational trees and I get lost in them very easily.

Also, which specific version of Support Package Manager do I want?

Also, I see "Support Package Stacks for SAP NetWeaver 2004s released after April 2nd, 2007 will ONLY be available via SAP Solution Manager‘s Maintenance Optimizer." Do I want to install that system or am I find downloading/installing .CAR patch files? If I should download that, how do I do so?

FYI: This is a standard SAP Discovery Server running Microsoft Windows and NetWeaver 2004s.

I upgraded the SAP kernel from patch level 58 to patch level 95, tp.exe works great from the command line, however I'm getting this error:

Error in phase: CHECK_REQUIREMENTS

Reason for error: TP_CANNOT_CONNECT_SYSTEM

Return code: 0212

Error message: could not access file as supposed (see SLOG for more details)

I'm really stumped by this issue and could use some help.

Windows 2003

It's a Discovery Server purchased from SAP.

My coworker tried something and we seemed to have got the SPAM update to go through, but now we get:

Internal error: SPAM_CONFIRM_PATCH -> WRONG_STATUS: I

OK:

- I got the patch, "SPAM/SAINT Update - Version 700/0023" (SAPKD70023)

- I uncompress, copy files to correct server directory

- Run Transaction "SPAM"

- Choose menu Support Package -> Import SPAM/SAINT Update

And then I get the following error:

Error in phase: CHECK_REQUIREMENTS

Reason for error: TP_CANNOT_CONNECT_SYSTEM

Return code: 0249

Error message: connect failed due to DbSL load lib failure.

Any idea?
