Upgrade Single JAVA Component Patch Level Using SUM Tool
Upgrade Single JAVA Component Patch Level Using SUM Tool
I came across few posts/threads where people are looking -How to apply patch for
single component with out generating XML file in solution manager. So I thought lets
write a blog on this topic.
In this blog I would like to share detailed procedure – How to upgrade single JAVA
component patch level using SUM tool without generating XML file, for example
here I have updated the component ENGINEAPI from patch level 12 to 16.
Download the patch from SAP market Place and place it in a folder as per your
convenience .
In order to start the SUM tool in Linux, we need to run below command (it will restart
SAP Host Agent)
Login with root user and execute the below command it will configure the host
agent
http://<hostname>:1128/lmsl/sumjava/<SID>/index.html
If you have extracted SUM tool with <sidadm> then we have to login with <sidadm>
user itself, otherwise it will not allow to login with root user.
Click Next
Click Next
Select option ->Manually Prepared Directory because here we are just updating
patch of single component , provide the path of the patch file
Click Next
Click Next
Provide Administrator user credentials and click Next
Click Next
Apply the maintenance certificate license and click next
Click Next ,it will begin the downtime of the system, make sure you have proper
maintenance downtime window of atleast 30 mins.
It is starting the java application
We also have other option to deploy java patches using Telnet but it is always good a
practice to follow SAP Standard tools for standard procedures.
