Updates & Patches

server administration XI Server Discussion

Hi there,

is there any standard approach to handle updates and patches?
There are some FixPacks 1.1 - 1.5 and we are interested in how this is handled.

How can I figure out what the current patch level of my installation is?
Are there any guides provided by SAP?

Thanks & regard,
Eric.

A) FixPacks (FPs) should only be installed on a per need basis
B) ServicePacks (SPs) should be applied in a timely manner.

Look in the CMC under Settings for the Product Version etc.

Hi Andreas,

thanks for your answer.
When I take a look into CMC:
Erstellungsdatum: 2008/09/13:08:23:21
Erstellungsnummer: 882
Produktversion: 12.1.0.882

Does it mean:
Version: 12
Patchlevel: 1 (?)
???: 0
Build number: 882

Or is there any other logic within that version number?

Thanks,
Eric.

Please, see this sticky topic for BusObjects version numbers.

The BO XI versions sticky is a little out-dated. I am running 12.2.7.598 (sp2, fp 2.7) and it isn’t even on the list.
