SAP Basis - Importing a Queue

Queue is used to check support packages for different SAP components in your system landscape.

Follow these steps to import a queue −

Step 1 − Click on Display/Define button and you will see a list of installed software components.

Step 2 − Select the component and it will display the list of Support Packages available for the selected components. If this is the queue you are looking for, click Confirm Queue.

Step 3 − You will receive confirmation - Support Package Queue Saved and Defined.

Step 4 − Now, import queue to start implementing the Support Package. Click Support package → Import Queue.

Step 5 − Confirm the queue once the support package is imported successfully. If you don’t confirm the queue, you won’t be able to import support package in future. Check the SPAM status → Confirm successful import of support package.
