Upgrade SAP JVM patch

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

I have a doubt.

I have to update the SAP JVM 4.1 patch for the newest version.

Do you know how I can update it? Should I use the SAP JVM Switch Tool ? I used it to switch the JAVA version.

thanks a lot.

Hi Marilia,

if you are already using SAP JVM 4.1 you do not need switch tool, because this tool is only to move from partner JVM to SAP JVM one.

To apply the latest patch of SAP JVM 4.1, take a loo at the following relevant notes:

1884813 - SAP JVM 4.1 Patch Collection 33 (build 4.1.033)

Hello Surojit.

I think that I gotta.

My scenario is SAP JVM 4.x - NW 6.40. So, I understood that I just have to upgrade the newest java patches into the SAPJVM directory. Right?

Exactly!!

Please award points if you find suggestion useful

That is one way to go, but you should leverage JSPM or SUM; the tools make the update simple and will verify settings for you.

Hello Marilia,

JVM generallay depend on JAVA release

SAP JVM 4.x - NW 6.40, NW 7.0x

SAP JVM 5.x - PI/CE 7.1x

SAP JVM 6.x - PI/CE 7.2x and NW 7.3x

You can use JVM switch tool or SUM tool or more preferably do manual upgrade so that you are aware that what changes you have made.

If you are upgrading only JVM patch level then there is not need of memory parameter changes, So just download new patch, extract and replace files by previous JVM. Restart system once done.

If you want to crosscheck whether it reflects or not read java dispacher logs. There in first few lines you will get to know what is patch level of JVM and path of JVM.

Hi ,

As you have to update the JVM you need to user the SUM tool to update the java now.

download the sum tool from service market place.

Uncar the tool.

Then run the tool . Select the system details. In the tools it will ask you to select the xml file or directory for the patch you want to update. please use directory option. Place the JVM update file in the directory.

Please also check if JVM is read by JSPM in your system if read you can update it using JSPM tool also.

Please refer to the below note.

Depending on what NW version you are using, it is possible to use JSPM to also update sapjvm.
