A SPAM/SAINT Update (SPAM update for short) contains updates and improvements to Support Package Manager and Add-On Installation Tool. There is always one SPAM update for each release. To find out which version you are using, look at the following in your system:
• The short description, for example SPAM/SAINT update – version <REL>/0001
• The package name, for example SAPKD<REL>01
The latest SPAM update is also available in SAP Support Portal, under service.sap.com/spManager.
You can only import a SPAM update if there are no terminated packages in the system. A dialog box informs you if there are any terminated packages. You then have two options:
• Import the entire queue to begin with and then the SPAM update.
• Delete the queue, import the SPAM update, then import the queue.
1. Call Support Package Manager (transaction SPAM). Check if the SPAM update offered is newer than the one in your system. In this example, the current version is Version 7.00/0026. I will upload and upgrade to Version 7.00/0042. So, one file need to be download here, which is KD70042.SAR.
2. Load the package. Choose either From Front End or From Application Server. In this example, i choose to upload From Application Server)
3. Once uploaded, go to New Support Packages Directory. Look for the SAPKD70042 (or any version that you uploaded earlier).
4. Import the SPAM update.
5. SPAM / SAINT update is now being processed. Please monitor at the Status to make sure that the update process is okay and running smoothly.
6. SPAM / SAINT version completed successfully to 7.00/0042.
