• Inclusion of Customizing Requests

  To include your Customizing requests in the downtime-optimized conversion procedure, the Software Update Manager asks you for the path and name of your customer buffer file.

Depending on your requirements, you enter one of the following values for parameter recclient:

  Value of Command Option	Meaning
