Loading Installation Packages

Use

Before you can install or upgrade an add-on, or install a PCS, you must first load the relevant installation packages. SAP makes these packages available:

On add-on CDs (add-on installations and add-on upgrades)
In the SAP Service Marketplace (special add-on installations, Support Packages)
On PCS CDs (Preconfigured Systems)

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Installation packages from the SAP Service Marketplace or from CDs have a compressed format. You have to unpack these packages before you can proceed.
