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:
