Download JAVA SC Patches via NW JAVA Support Tool – An Easy Way

As we all know calculating the required dependencies of a JAVA SCA patch leads to lot of manual work sometimes and also prone that you may miss any required dependent patch which can lead to unwanted problems during patching process.
SAP NW JAVA Support Tool is a great troubleshooting tool and have amazing capabilities to record and collect logs however, there is another feature which lot of people are not aware of i.e SC patch tools.

Below are the steps to download the required patch along with the all required dependencies.

1.      Download and install NW JAVA support tool 1.0 as per sap note 2352717.

2.       Launch the tool NWJavaSupportTool.jar and connect to the JAVA instance.
1.       Click on SC patch tools 


1.       Tool will check all the JAVA components installed in the system against the latest patch available. 


1.       Select the required components to be patches. In this case I have selected AJAX-RUNTIME. Tool is showing AJAX-RUNTIME SP 05 patch 20 as latest which is correct as checked at SMP

1.       Tool will calculate the required dependencies. Add them in download basket by selecting all dependent patches.


Here you go and ready for patching. It’s quite easy as compared to manual calculation

Applying Support Patches in Netweaver 7.3 Java Stack

First we need to determine the current SP level of the running Java Stack of the AS JAVA

1. Using JSPM . You can run the JSPM tool from the following location
Drive:\usr\sap\SID\J02\j2ee\JSPM

Well , got the following error while executing the JSPM tool.
"An error has occurred during the execution of the JSPM_MAIN phase.
Cannot initialize application data. Error occurred while trying to get the SAPLOCALHOST parameter value from the instance number: 2 on host: GDC-UAT via SAPCONTROL the web service API. See SAP Note 1401712 for further information. java.rmi.RemoteException: Service call exception; nested exception is: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized. The requested URL was:"http://GDC-UAT:50213" com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized. The requested URL was:"http://GDC-UAT:50213"


To resolve this issue we need to change the entry of the parameter in DEFAULT.PFL file till we finish with JSPM tool also , we need to start all sapstartsrv services in the cluster.
Changed Entry " service/protectedwebmethods = DEFAULT  "

Once the issue is resolved please check the version and level of SP's in JSPM.





 As, we can not determine the SPS level by just looking at the individual SP level. We can check the current SPS level using MOPZ or at the stack calculation at the Service Market Place. Implementation and maintenance of SAP NetWeaver 7.3 via SP Stacks is only possible via SAP Solution Manager's Maintenance Optimizer (MOPZ)
