In order to apply new support packages and kernel patches to a SAP system, several preparation steps are required:
· Checking for new SPAM updates, support packages and kernel patches
· Downloading the new SPAM updates, support packages, and kernel patches
· Preparing the new SPAM updates, support packages, and kernel patches for application
· Applying the new SPAM updates, support packages, and kernel patches
· Mass recompiling all programs used in patched components
Be aware that SPAM/SAINT update and support package application occurs within the SAP system using the SPAM transaction. These corrections are changes to ABAP program code and must be handled in a special way by SAP. Kernel patches, on the other hand, are fixes to SAP executables found on the SAP server. Kernel patches must be applied when the SAP instance is down.
Please refer to the Check for New SPAM Updates, Support Packages and Kernel
