Resetting the queue is a very risky and often very time consuming process.

One must always ensure that if the queue has to be reset, it is reset at the correct phase during the update in order to avoid inconsistencies in the system. The queue must never be reset after the phase DDIC_IMPORT of the support package activity.

If the queue is reset after the DDIC_IMPORT phase :

i) System will be inconsisent.

ii) The OCS tables will no longer reflect the correct package level of the system.

iii) Parts of the DDIC repository may no longer match ABAP sources.

iv) Arbitrary syntax errors and short dumps may occur.

If, however, you still reset the queue after the DDIC_IMPORT phase, then you must do the following :

i) Take a valid backup of the system (advised).

ii) Raise an SAP OSS message for assistance on resetting the queue with the help of internal tools.

ii) Ensure that the next queue includes all the packages from the previously defined queue.

However, if the update has not yet reached the DDIC_IMPORT phase, you can continue to reset the queue as follows :

i) Choose Extras -> Reset status -> Queue.

ii) Choose 'Delete' in the queue dialog box.

When performing a queue reset, it is very important to keep in mind that the new queue includes all the packages from the previously defined queue.

This blog will explain you how to retrieve actual detailed SAP component information.

Questions that will be answered:

  • How do I get detailed system component information?
  • How do I download these to compare them across the landscape?

System / Status

The most simple way of getting installation component information is by using the menu System/Status. Then click on the Status details button:

Now the installed software components and product versions will be shown:

In S4HANA systems, you might not be getting all the details or an authorization error. The information display in S4HANA requires extra authorizations for object S_SYS_INFO. Background is explained in OSS note 2658772 – System -> Status: Restriction of the available information.

Getting the details as download

The system status details cannot be downloaded. If you want to compare the software components in detail across your system landscape (sandbox, development, test, acceptance, productive, training etc environments), you are in need of these details in downloadable format. With the downloaded data it is easy in Excel to compare all details.

To get the details goto transaction SE37.

For the installed software use function module OCS_GET_INSTALLED_SWPRODUCTS. Execute it and click on the ET_SWPRODUCTS outcome table.
