Installation of support packages

Support packages can be installed using the SPAM (Support Package Manager) transaction.

Please open the Support Package menu and select the Load Packages entry and then From Front End. If you are using a more recent version of the Add-On Installation Tool, select SAR archives from Front End.

Alternatively, move the PAT files located in the PATCHES folder to your transport directory’s EPS Inbox. Please open the Support Package menu and select the Load Packages entry and then From Application Server. If you are using a more recent version of the Add-On Installation Tool, select EPS files from application server.

In more recent versions of the Add-On Installation Tool, as an alternative, you can also copy the SAR files to the directory EPS\download (or EPS/download respectively) of your transport directory. In this case open the Support Package menu, select the Load Packages entry and then SAR archives from application server.
