JAVA and ABAP stack support pakages

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am new on installation of solution manager server.

I just install solution manager server EHP1 on windows 2003. Now I want to patch my server.

I have abap and java stack on my server. Can I use jspm to upload my new patches for both Java and ABAP stack or I should use SPAM for abap stack and jspm for java.

Thanks Reza

> should use SPAM for abap stack and jspm for java.

This is the correct approach. Besides, use sapcar.exe -xvf to unzip the latest kernel files SAPEXE.SAR, SAPEXEDB.SAR and IGSEXE.SAR, and then replace the old one with them in /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run after a backup of previous kernel.

Whey If I have a netweaver server installation with just ABAP stack I can use SPAM to upload my kernel and support packages to server.

Is it deferent if we have both java and abap stack installation?

Hello Reza,

Just to clarify, Best practise is to update your kernel to the latest before you start patching in your system.

So download SAPEXE.SAR (Database independent kernel package), SAPEXEDB (Database dependent kernel package) and IGSEXE.SAR (IGS Package) from the SMP. kernel is dependent on your operating system and database and therefore make sure you download the right package otherwise you'll end up in messing up the system.

follow SAPnote # 19466 for help.

Once you are done with the kernel update then patch you Abap stack by SPAM and JAva stack by JSPM.

I hope that makes things clear.

Best Regards
