Question on JAVA patching

31 Views

I'm trying to understand if a specific OSS note is applicible to my EP-BI system.

The solution to the note reads:

"Apply the BI Java patch Support Package 18 Patch 30 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI Java to your BI system. "

We are running BI Java 7.0 SP16.

It seems logical that we can NOT apply SP18/patch30 to SP16. However, SAP answers to FAQs read:

"BI Java patches are available only at the highest Support Package level. They are compatible with and can be used in conjunction with lower Support Package levels."

This seems to imply that we CAN apply SP18/patch30 to our SP16 stack.

So that question is - with Java patches, are they exclusive to the SP level your system is on?

Thanks in advance
