You want to define a Support Package queue for a particular software component.

Procedure

  1. In the initial screen in Support Package Manager, choose Display/Define.

    • If this queue calculation method has been selected as the default setting, the Component Selection dialog box appears.

    • Otherwise, you can display the Component Selection dialog box by choosing Individual Components.

    A list of installed software components (for example, SAP_BASIS, SAP_HR, SAP_BW) is displayed.

  2. You can filter the software component list according to various criteria.

    • In SAP ERP systems in particular, a variety of software components are installed that are not all active in the system. You can set for inactive components not to be displayed. To do this, select the selection symbol next to the pushbutton with the tooltip Display/Hide Filter and select Hide Inactive Components.

    • Some software components are divided into subcomponents. The subcomponents are hidden behind the realted main components by default. To show all subcomponents, select the symbol with the tooltip Expand Subcomponent View before selecting the related main component.

      You can also set that unused subcomponents are not displayed. To do this, select the selection symbol next to the pushbutton with the tooltip Display/Hide Filter and select Hide Unused Subcomponents.

    • In the Settings for the Support Package Manager, you can configure standard filter settings. You can set this by selecting the Activate/Deactivate Filters pushbutton. You can branch directly to the standard filter settings using the selection list symbol next to the pushbutton.

  3. Select the required components.

  4. The current queue appears. This queue contains the Support Packages available for the selected component in your system, and, if necessary, Support Packages of other components, Conflict Resolution Transports (CRTs) and other Add-On Support Packages.

    If you want to define the queue for another software component, choose Other Component.

    Note Note

    If errors occur during queue definition, read the queue calculation log.

    End of the note.

  5. You can now do the following:

    • You can limit the queue selection. To do this, select the Support Package that you want to be last in the queue. This recalculates the queue. You can also do this explicitly by choosing Recalculate Queue.

      Note Note

      You can only select Support Packages belonging to the software components that you have selected (the cursor changes its appearance accordingly). The Support Packages that belong to the queue are highlighted in green. The Support Packages that no longer belong to the queue are still visible in the list, from where you can select them again.

      End of the note.

    • If the displayed queue meets your requirements, you can confirm it by choosing Confirm Queue and closing this window.

Result

You have defined the queue. You can now Include Modification Adjustment Transports or Import Support Packages contained in the queue.
