How do I know what version I've got of SAP NetWeaver PI ?

675 Views

Hi,

How do I know what version I've got of SAP NetWeaver PI ?

I've seen SAP Notes that refer to the "support package". For example, they refer to:

- SAP NetWeaver 7.10 SP08

- SAP NetWeaver 7.11 SP01 (what is 7.11? is it 7.1 EHP1?)

- SAP NetWeaver 7.20

The SAP Notes also refer to the "patch level" of individual software components.

In other places I see "support package stack (SPS)" referred to. For example, I'll see:

- SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1 SPS08

So perhaps SPS is what SAP Notes refer to as "support package"?

If I go to the front-end client and look at System | Status... I can find (five) individual software components which have a "release" (e.g. 710, or 2006_1_710), a "level" (e.g. 0003, or 0004), and a "highest support" (e.g. SAPKITLQJ3). Is this "level" the same as the "patch level"?

From this dialog, I can go to Other Kernel Information (Shift-F5) and find that the "Kernel Release" is 710 and the "Sup. Pkg lvl." is 80. So is this Support Package 80, or SPS80?

If I go to sapmmc and look at the Version Info, it says "710, patch 80". So 80 is the "patch level"? I thought it was the Support Package (Level or Stack...?). Very confusing!

Adding to my confusion is that I cannot find the Support Package (Stack), or Patch Level, referred to anywhere on the SAP web pages from where I downloaded the installation software. Nor can I find this information anywhere amongst the DVD files on the Installation Master DVD (not even in the VERSION.ASC file).

It seems to be important to know this. An SAP Note I'm working with states that it's only relevant if I have a support package lower than SAP NetWeaver 7.10 SP08.

So how would I know?

Thanks for any help/pointers...
