Hello all   I m new to BO system, i come from SAP part.

We need to update our SBOP BI 4.0 SP02 to the last SP04-patch4. (solaris system)  I checked on the download suportpackage part of SAP service website but i found only a very light documentation how to update a BO system.

What is the path to make it ? Must i install all the patch or are they cumulative ?

I think what i must do

update from SP02-12 to SP04-00

update from SP04-00 to SP04-04

Or direct update to SP02-12 to SP04-04 ?

thanks for your help

I would go with a parallel deployment with full install package.  It is the best method,

Backup everything on old system, DB and Filestore

A parallel install approach allows for you to instantly bring up the old system if you run into any issues.

copy/point to filestore and db.  turn off old nodes after addition into DB in CMS.  You will need your info from SP2 setup for inplace upgrade or new install.

gunzip commands.
