The transport requests that are imported during the upgrade from the Upgrade Export archives contain data for the main SAP system components and for add-on components that are included in the standard SAP delivery of SAP NetWeaver or your SAP solution. For Support Releases, the component levels in the archives are usually quite high.

In the IS_SELECT phase of the Configuration roadmap step, the Software Update Manager only prompts you for add-ons contained in the archive for which we may deliver another update. Add-ons from the standard delivery for which we will not ship updates until the next release are not offered on the screen. You do not have to make a decision about them as they are updated automatically.

In the BIND_PATCH phase of the Configuration roadmap step, the Software Update Manager asks you to include Support Packages in the upgrade. If the Upgrade Export archives already contains a Support Package level higher than 0, only include Support Packages above this level.

For information about the component levels of the Upgrade Export DVD and the minimum Support Package levels, see the SAP Note for SAP NetWeaver / your application:
