1. When you will apply patches?

Give short of examples the situation,

where to troubleshoot you have applied patches!
SM provides correction in form of patches. !t may contain corrections
similar to S" notes, "#" pro$rammin$.
!t helps to avoid %untime error and dumps. &ou can chec' lo$s at
S"M. Sometime leavin$ the (% un released caused the issue or some
manual correction is re)uired.
!n that case we cannot apply sap notes *even if we find them at +SS,
as we are stuc' in S"M error phase.
"lso in bac'end usr-sap-trans-lo$ and temp file contains the lo$s for
error.
.. Why it/s re)uired to shutdown all S", 0atabase instances 1
services durin$ 'ernel up2$radation.
#ecause S" system and database uses 'ernel service starsapsrv.exe
for their functionin$, if the service file to be updated is in use, 'ernel
up$rade is not possible then.
3. Why it/s re)uired to 'eep all instances up durin$ the updatin$ hot
pac'a$e?
#ecause S" system process the system tables4ob5ect and modifyin$
them durin$ updatin$ hot pac'a$e besides hot pac'a$es are the most
basis pac'a$es re)uired for S" system to wor' fine
6. 7an we apply hi$her version atch 8evel usin$ lower version of
S"M?
!f not, why?
9o,
(o meet the pre re)uisites, we need to update our S"M4S"!9( level.
(o update our pac'a$e, accordin$ to S" standard2 :irst update
;ernel to latest level available at SM.
(hen S"M4S"!9(, apply maintenance certificate then start with sap
components patchin$4up$rade.
<. What is importance of !mport =ueue?
!t servers . purpose>
1. Maintain the support pac's selected.
.. 7hec' the dependency, actually )ueue can?t be defined unless the
dependencies of selected components meet and let them apply in
order.
@. 7an we apply hi$her level of A% or other :inancial atch with lower
version of "#"4#"S!S patch level?
9ever.
#ecause S" #asis4"#" are the most basic components that need to
be updated before you can update any components.
B. !s there any se)uence to apply hot pac'a$es?
Means, #"S!S C "#" C A% C :!9 or A% C :!9 C "#" C #"S!S vice
versa
#asis and "#" should be at first then others
D. #"S!S and "#" patch level should be same. So first which patch
level should be updated "#" or #"S!S? !f #"S!S then why? !f "#"
then why?
9ot necessary for them to be at same patch level. (hou$h standard
says they should be at same level.
Generally we apply #"S!S and "#" to$ether. !f we have to apply one
at first, it should be basis.
E. Why you update S"M version before applyin$ other patches? What
is the lo$ic behind this?
" S"M4S"!9( Fpdate *"(, contains updates and improvements to
the S" atch
Mana$er and the S" "dd2+n !nstallation (ool.
1G. Aow you will decompress the downloaded compressed patch files?
"fter decompression what are the two files $enerated. State the
names of that files 1 type of the files?
S"car Cxvf filename.sar
(hey will contain (( and "(( files.
11. Why we lo$in as 00!7 user at the time of patch administration?
!f we lo$$ed as different user, what will the problem?
Fsers are loc'ed $enerally for S"M up$rade. Aence use 00!7, its
standard S" user.
1.. Fpdatin$ the patch level means Fpdatin$ of S" system or
Fp$radin$ S" system?
Fpdatin$ the S" system.
13. &ou are updatin$ patch level and 'ernel version of 6.@c to the
latest patch level of S" that you found in service.sap.com. So, will it
become 6.Bee to 6.@c version? !f not what will be the chan$es?
6.Bc
1.. !f not then what is up$radin$?
Fp$radin$ is the process of increasin$ the 8evel li'e oracle up$rade
from 1G$ to 11$, patchin$ is $oin$ from oracle 1G...G.. to 1G...G.6
13. Aow from 7lient GGG, all clients exists in S" system $et effected?
