As we all know calculating the required dependencies of a JAVA SCA patch leads to l a t of manual work sometimes and also manual calculation is prone to miss any required dependent patches which can lead to issues during patching process.

SAP NW JAVA Support Tool is a great troubleshooting tool and have amazing capabilities to record and collect logs however, there is another feature which lot of people are not aware of i.e SC patch tools.

 

Below are the steps to download the required patch along with the all required dependencies.
