SAP Basis Management
System updates
You can call the SPAM transaction in one of the following ways: Select SAP menu Tools Maintenance Patches. Enter the transaction code SPAM. Features The SAP Patch Manager provides the following features: Loading Support Packages: Requested support packages can be loaded into your system from SAPNet - Web Frontend, SAPNet - R/3 Frontend, or Collection CDs. Inserting Support Packages: Resetting When SPAM inserts a support package into your system, a fixed sequence of steps is followed. If the Support Package implementation stops, you can resume processing at a later time. The operation will resume where it was cancelled.
As a hint: The menu tab "Jump" allows you to set all namespaces or software components simultaneously to "modifiable" or "non-modifiable".

Tasks such as the update of components, the insertion of security updates or monitoring should be further automated. It is recommended to use only one automation tool (SAP Solution Manager or SAP LVM). Custom solutions and scripts should not be used or replaced with standard tools if possible, because otherwise different script languages and script versions will have to be managed, resulting in a lot of maintenance. Standardised SAP scripts are welcome here. A useful definition of thresholds, for example on the basis of historical system behaviour, must also be defined for monitoring.
