Install/Upgrade ST-PI and ST-A/PI SAP components.

In this screen-cast we will go through the steps required for ST-PI and ST-A/PI installation/upgrade Pre-requisite : We need to execute report RTCCTOOL in SAP to get the required software version information. Why RTCCTOOL ? The RTCCTOOL "Service preparation check" checks the availability of required tools for a SAP service session. Run the report from SE38. The report connects to SAPNet R/3 and fetches a list of recommendations and notes for your system configuration. It checks whether they are implemented successfully and presents a list of missing addons and notes. The list combines all necessary information such as SAP Notes, implementation status, short description & implementation text and transport logs. Helpful procedures regarding service tools before/after upgrade are integrated into the tool and it can provide help for transport implementation. 1.Log into SAP and execute report "rtcctool" via transaction SE38 .
