Java Support Package Manager (JSPM)

Purpose

You can use the Java Support Package Manager (JSPM) to apply support packages ondeployed software components. You can also deploy SAP and third-party softwarecomponents to which you can then apply support packages and patches. You can

deploy new business packages of mySAP Business Suite. You can also upgrade and

update business packages of mySAP Business Suite that are deployed on the systemto a higher release and support package level respectively. In addition, JSPM detects

SAP software components that have been modified and allows you to apply support

packages to them.

Integration

JSPM connects to the SDM server to deploy support packages and softwarecomponents. The SDM server performs additional validation of the support packages

and software components for deployment.

JSPM is integrated with the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI).JSPM detects SAP software components that have been modified and allows you to

apply support packages to them.

Features

JSPM has the following features:

Maintenance certificate

You can update SAP components only if you have a valid maintenance certificate. Formore information see note 1236587.

Usability

Offers a simple and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI)

Shares common GUI with SAPinst and SAPJup

Automatically detects and offers you only components that can upgrade

deployed components

Shows only necessary information. Shows additional details at your

request.

Deployed Component Overview

Displays support package level information

Support Package Level Administration

Besides Support Packages JSPM also supports Enhancement Packages.

Allows definition of dependencies between versions of software components

Checks whether a new software component version may correctly upgrade

an existing software component version

Development Component Level Administration

Checks deployment dependencies between development components

Update of Kernel Binaries, Software Deployment Manager (SDM), Internet

Graphics Server (IGS), and JSPM

Deployment

Allows you to apply a support package stack

Allows you to apply single support packages

Allows you to deploy SAP and third-party software components

Allows you to deploy and upgrade business packages of mySAP Business

Suite

In NWDI development (DEV) and consolidation (CONS) systems, detects

modified software components and transports them for deployment to NWDI

In NWDI test (TEST) and production (PROD) systems, detects and deploys

modified software components

Informs you if restarting of the J2EE Engine is necessary during the

deployment process

Offers a better support of the patch process in a distributed systems

scenario

Monitors and logs the deployment process

Allows you to restart the deployment of support packages

Applying JAVA Support Packs in JED System

Here we are upgrading the support pack stack level from 15 to 19 in JED System. AsJava support packages are cumulative, it is enough if we can directly upgrade to the

required support package level (here, it is 19.) without bothering for the middlepackage stack levels.

I have listed down the steps in deploying JAVA support packages along with the

issues we faced and the resolutions we found for them.

1. Downloading the required support package stack level from SAPService Market Place.

Login to Service market place Go to DownloadsSAP Support packages Entry by application

groupSAP NetweaverSAP Netweaver 7.0Link to SP stack

application Mention the target stack and source stack and select the required

usage types as shown:

And click next.

Select all the java support packages and add to download basket forapproval from solution manager.

Login to solution manager system.

Go to Solution_manager transaction Go to change management Maintenance Optimizer and click on maintain

optimizer created for the purpose

Click on Confirm files to download. Go to Download basket and download the required files to your hard disk.

2. FTP the files to JED. FTP all the files from your hard disk to JED server into /sapcd/JAVASPS19

folder

Then move all the files to the /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in directory for the

processing.

3. Start Applying the JAVA support packages. First of all, we have to the launch JSPM.

Set the environment variable by following below command.

Setenv DISPLAY :0.0

Now we have to start JSPM.

Go to usr/sap/JED/JC01/j2ee/JSPM

And execute the go shell script. /go

This will connect to SDM server and invokes JSPM GUI screen.

ISSUE 1: Here we faced an issue as we dont have the SDM password. So we have

changed SDM password at OS level in the following way.

Login to OS as jedadm and do the following:

cd /usr/sap/JED/JC01/SDM/program./StopServer.sh "sdmhome=/usr/sap/JED/JC01/SDM/program"

./sdm.sh jstartup "sdmhome=/usr/sap/JED/JC01/SDM/program" "mode=standalone"

./sdm.sh changepassword "sdmhome=/usr/sap/JED/JC01/SDM/program""newpassword=malibu23"

./sdm.sh jstartup "sdmhome=/usr/sap/JED/JC01/SDM/program" "mode=integrated"

./StartServer.sh "sdmhome=/usr/sap/JED/JC01/SDM/program"

Click on Single support packages.

Click next.

This will display all the support packages that are ready to be deployed.


9/11

Click next and start the deployment.

This will first schedule all the support packages to be deployed andautomatically process all the support packages one by one.

ISSUE 2 and Resolution:

After click start to deploy all the support packages for the stack it returned an error

called Not enough memory for the device.

The filesystem in /usr/sap is having around 1.5GB of free space at that time which

may not be sufficient to process all the support packages.

So we have decided to start deploying the patches a few at a time and not all.

We started deploying the patches few at a time and even after that we faced

with an issue.

ISSUE 3 and Resolution:

The Deployment ended with an error and after checking the JSPM logs, we came tofind out that the password for administrator in the Secure Store area was not

correct.

We launched the configtool and clicked on Secure Store mode.


10/11

Page 10 of 11

We changed the password of Administrator to the current password (malibu23) and

saved the changes and the restarted the SDM server.

This resolved the issue.

We continued the deployment of JAVA support packages a few at a time andthe process went on smoothly.
