1489891 ve ekindeki
1053737 nolu notun içeriğini aşağıya ekledim. Zaten 6-8 haftada bir patch yani yama yayınlıyorlar. Aslen Gui versiyonumu sık sık yükseltmemeyi tercih ediyorum, Windows 20 çıksa hemen yükleyim kullanmayacağım gibi, geliştirmeler devam eder, stabil ve sorunsuz kullanım daha önemlidir. Örneğin bir gui versiyonunda
SAP to excel ayarlarında gui kaynaklı sorun çıktı, mecbur kaldık alt sürüme downgrade yapmaya. bu sebeple tabiiki benim düşüncem, en yenisi bizim hemen kullanmamız gereken sürüm olmayabilir, stabil olan birkaç alt sürümü rahatlıkla kullanabilirsiniz. 7.40 ile 750 arasındak ayrımı tema dışında anlayabilecek bir kullanım deneyimine sahipseniz başka tabii ki.

1489891 - Hotfixes for SAP GUI for Windows
Version 6 from 27 Şub 2018 in English
Symptom
This note contains information about individual corrections for
SAP GUI for Windows as of release 7.20 (so-called "hotfixes").
Other Terms
prepatch; hotfix; special build
Reason and Prerequisites
SAP GUI for Windows patches are delivered every 6-8 weeks (see
SAP note 1053737 for more information on expected delivery dates of the patches). In case an urgent correction is required to address a production down issue this timeframe may be too long. Therefore as of
SAP GUI for Windows 7.10 we have implemented the capability to deliver additional corrections on top of shipped patches ("hotfixes").
As of
SAP GUI for Windows 7.20 the hotfixes are shipped via
SAP Service Marketplace and can be downloaded by all customers.
Solution
FAQ
- Q: What is a "hotfix" for SAP GUI for Windows?
A: A hotfix is an extension of an existing patch of SAP GUI for Windows in which one or multiple important corrections has / have been added in addition to those fixes already being part of the original patch. Hotfixes are only shipped for especially critical and urgent corrections.
- Q: What is the advantage of a hotfix?
A: A hotfix can be shipped regardless of the shipment schedule of the regular SAP GUI patches and it only contains one or at least very few correction(s). Therefore the risk of introducing regressions is lower.
- Q: What is the content of the files "gui_<Release>_<Patchlevel>_<Hotfixlevel>.exe" and "gui<Release>_pdb_<Patchlevel>_<Hotfixlevel>.exe" and what do these names mean?
A: The term <Release> shows the release of SAP GUI, <Patchlevel> shows the patchlevel of the patch the hotfix is valid for and <Hotfixlevel> contains the index of the hotfix. An example would be "gui720_1_3.exe" - hotfix 3 for patchlevel 1 of SAP GUI for Windows 7.20.
The files "gui_<Release>_<Patchlevel>_<Hotfixlevel>.exe" contain the hotfixes while the files "gui<Release>_pdb_<Patchlevel>_<Hotfixlevel>.exe" contain the PDB files for the hotfixes - these are only required in case an issue occurs with the hotfix.
Just like SAP GUI patches hotfixes are cumulative and contain the corrections from all previous hotfixes for the same patchlevel and all corrections from the patchlevel the hotfix was created for itself.
- Q: How do I apply a hotfix?
A: A hotfix can be applied just like a standard patch (local application or via SAP Installation Server). Of course we recommend to apply all patches using an Installation Server infrastructure.
- Q: What is the support status of hotfixes?
A: Hotfixes are fully supported (just like standard patches).
- Q: How can I see what is contained in a given hotfix?
A: Have a look at the info file that is shipped together with the hotfix. This file lists all notes and corrections that are part of the hotfix.
Q: What happens when I install a newer patch over a hotfix?
A: That depends on the corrections which have been included in the hotfix. You need to check the notes of the corrections which have been added to the hotfix before installing a new patch. The notes will give you information on which patches contain the same corrections. Our recommendation is that you install at least the patchlevel which contains all the corrections from the hotfix.
