Preparations

If security measures prevent your SAP HANA server to directly connect to the SAP Service MarketPlace you can perform a SUM for HANA revision update with locally stored patch files. The HANA administrator needs to download the patch files, including the stack.xml, from the SAP Service MarketPlace[/b].

Use the "Support Package Stack Download" or the "Comprised Software Component Versions" to download the patch files. The stack.xml file can be generated using the "Support Package Stack Download" wizard. This will generate you an stack.xml file with the currect revision level. Place the patches, including the stack.xml file in a for <sid>adm accessible directory (i.e./HANAPatch_rev47) on your SAP HANA server.

HANA Patchen
Start the SAP HANA Studio and select in the <SID> context menu "Lifecycle Management".
