SAINT(SAP Add -on Installation) Installation in SAP

SAINT Installation

Transaction SAINT allows you to install and upgrade an Add-On / Plug-Ins, such as an Industry Solution, from the SAP system. To install or upgrade an Add-On / Plug-Ins, it can be necessary to import Add-On Support Packages and CRTs. Transaction SAINT deals with this.

For Example, Plug-Ins are PI_2005, PI_Basis, ST_PI, ST_A/PI

For Example, Add-On are Solutions, SDPs, IBUs 

Reason: The customer requires functions that are not included in the SAP standard, but which are offered by an Industry Solution. An Industry Solution brings new objects and additional Customizing into the system, it CAN modify existing SAP standard objects and change existing Customizing

A CRT can be required to correct conflicts between the SAP standard and an Industry Solution or an IS Support Packcage

You must take the following prerequisites and settings into account to import Add-Ons / Plug-Ins with transaction SAINT:
