Before applying any support packages to your SAP system,
release all “repair” change requests to prevent error
messages due to locked resources. Repairs are usually
advanced corrections obtained from SAP Notes that are
eventually accumulated into support packages. So the same
objects “repaired” in the advanced corrections will
be “repaired” during the application of the support
package. Releasing the repair change requests allows the
support package to overlay the temporary advanced
correction “fix”.
Before you apply the most current SPAM\SAINT, please pull
the OSS Note 782140 - OCS: Known problems with Support
Packages in Basis Rel.6.20 or for whatever version you are
using and review any problems you may have adding the
SPAM\SAINT patch.
Once you have loaded the latest support packages
into your support
Package manager buffer, you need to apply the
packages to your SAP
system.
1. Log on client 000 of the appropriate SAP system
using a adminitrator user ID that is not DDIC or SAP*.
2. Go to the SPAM transaction.
3. On the Support Package Manager screen, click the
Display\Define button to build your import queue. On the
Component Selection popup, click on the Comp. ID having
support packages you want to install. The component order
support packages should be applied is SAP_BASIS, SAP_ABA,
SAP_APPL, and PI.
4. A list of all application support packages for the
selected component will appear in the Define Queue popup.
Select the support packages you want to apply. See SAP
Note 782140 for information on restrictions to grouping
support packages into queues. The Package ID with the
green √ to the left is the highest support package to be
placed in the queue. All lower number support packages for
this component will be applied as well. Click the green √
picture-icon to confirm the queue.
5. From the menu bar of the Support Package Manager
screen, click Support Package → Import queue.
6. On the SPAM: Import Queue popup, read the displayed
information and then click the green √ picture-icon to
continue.
7. The progress of the support package application
will be displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the
screen. These messages look very similar to the messages
generated during a change request transport.
8. When the Imported successfully Information popup
displays, click the green √ picture-icon to continue.
9. On the Support Package Manager screen, verify that
the SPAM status in the Status section of the screen
contains a yellow light and the Next action value is
Confirm queue. To confirm that your support packages
applied completely, click the green √ picture-icon. A
Support Package queue was confirmed message will appear in
the status bar at the bottom of the screen.
10. You are ready to build another support package
queue, or if you have applied all the necessary support
packages, you may now leave the SPAM transaction.

To install new support package check the current level
than login to sapnet or go to service market place and
download new support package in to usr\sap\trans\eps\in
folder.It will be in .car format so get the extractor from
Run directory which is in urs\sap\sid\sys\exe\run copy
sapcar.exe to the \eps\in folder.
Run sapcar –xvf packagename.car for extract that. It will
be now in two format .PAT and .ATT
Now logging to the client 000 with DDIC username and
execute SPAM t-code and install available patches to the
system.
I think this will give you clear view.
Thanks
