Re-importing a SPAM/SAINT Support Package

Due to errors, because you want to roll-back to any SPAM version, or just because SAP Support has requested you to do so; you can implement the following workaround to re-import a current (or older!) SPAM/SAINT update to your system.


Procedure:

1- Call transaction SEPS --> Goto --> Inbox, and order by column Subject. Search for all the SAPKD* packages (for example SAPKD70026).

2- Take note of all the .PAT files associated to the SPAM packages and make a backup copy of these files.

3- Go back to SEPS --> Goto --> Inbox, and order by colum Subject. Select all entries with status C or N, and delete them (this will also delete the .PAT files in the EPS/in directory).

4- After that you can upload the desired SPAM package you want to import to the EPS/in directory, either through front-end (tx SPAM), or through backend (SAPCAR).

5- Import the SPAM update: tx SPAM --> Import SPAM/SAINT Update


This procedure might be useful to other components (though i never tried it), but please keep in mind that is very dangerous!!! To re-import other component Support Packages, you should ask SAP Support.
