A SPAM/SAINT Update (SPAM update for short) contains updates and improvements to Support Package Manager and Add-On Installation Tool. There is always one SPAM update for each release. This update is updated accordingly. To find out which version you are using, look at the following in your system:

  • Short description , for example: SPAM/SAINT update - version <REL>/0001

  • in the package name, for example: SAPKD<REL>01

The latest SPAM update is also available in SAP Support Portal, under http://service.sap.com/spManager.

A dialog box informs you if there are any terminated packages. You then have two options:

  • Import the entire queue to begin with and then the SPAM update.

  • Delete the queue, import the SPAM update, then import the queue.
