Getting Started
SAP provides you with regular updates in the form of Support Package Stacks, Add-On Installation Packages, and Add-On Upgrade Packages. Urgent corrections and solutions to minor problems are available in the form of SAP Notes. You should always keep your system as up-to-date as possible. Thus, you can be sure that your system runs smoothly and you proactively prevent error situations. A range of tools - Support Package Manager, Java Support Package Manager, SAP Add-On installation tool, SAP Note Assistant - supports the implementation of the corrections.
SAP Enhancement Package Installation
With SAP enhancement packages you can implement functional updates without upgrading your SAP system to a higher release.
