This is probably a rhetorical question .... or a futures question that SAP won't answer...
Currently you can use maint organizer (MOPZ) to calculate the SP download requirements and Software Lifecycle Manager (SLM) to download support packages (as of SPS 14) and deploy those support packages (as of SPS 18). Can you use MOPZ/SLM just to deploy SPs? Currently MOPZ makes you choose between SLM and Download basket at download time. If I choose download basket does that preclude using SLM to deploy? I haven't yet got SLM working for download so I can't answer my own question.
What about QA and Prod? I no longer need to download SPs, but SLM deployment would be of interest. Can you COPY a MOPZ transaction for QA and Prod? This would be the futures part of the question...
