Define the queue [page 17]
THE SAP basis AS AN OPPORTUNITY ALMOST EVERY INNOVATION IN THE COMPANY HAS A TECHNICAL FOOTPRINT IN THE BACKEND, WHICH MOSTLY REPRESENTS AN SAP SYSTEM. HERE, THE SAP basis CAN HELP CREATE AN ADDED VALUE FOR THE COMPANY. EARLY INVOLVEMENT IN THE PROJECT IS ESSENTIAL.

SAP Installation & Configuration
The SAP Patch Manager (SPAM) is the online correction support (OCS) customer site. The SPAM transaction gives you the ability to easily and efficiently import support packages provided by SAP into your system. Depending on the system used or the configuration of your system, you must insert different types of Support Packages [page 8]. You will receive support packages in SAPNet - Web Frontend, in SAPNet - R/3 Frontend or on Collection CDs. Since SPAM runs within the SAP system, you do not need to know the operating system to handle the transaction. In the language usage of SAP, the term patch has been replaced by the term support package. Note that you can only work with this transaction in SAP GUI for Java and SAP GUI for Windows.
In the default scenario, the support packages in the queue are fully loaded. In the event of an error, you will not be able to resume and complete the playback successfully unless the error(s) are resolved. Prerequisites The queue is already defined. Procedure To set the scenario you want, select Additions Settings. Select the desired scenario. Select Insert Support Package Queue. You can also use this function to restore an aborted commit procedure. The status bar provides information on the progress of the commit and the latest steps of the SAP Patch Manager. During the recording, you may get into the modification comparison (SPDD, SPAU). If you are playing with the default scenario, you must immediately perform the comparison of Dictionary objects (transaction SPDD), whereas when you compare Repository objects (transaction SPAU), you have the choice to skip it first and perform it later (modification comparison [page 22]). The mode is blocked while a Support Package is being introduced. To avoid repeated login, open a second mode before inserting the queue.
Tools such as "Shortcut for SAP Systems" complement missing functions in the SAP basis area.
Simple batch jobs are usually not capable of this.
So much information... how can you keep it so that you can find it again when you need it? That's what Scribble Papers is great for.
