Summary :
The SAP Note describes the ASU Toolbox designed to manage additional, application-specific steps during SAP system updates, including release upgrades and Enhancement Package imports. The Toolbox interprets application-specific update content from an XML file, allowing users to execute predefined steps either manually or automatically via SAP transactions such pragmatically through transactions like /ASU/START or /ASU/UPGRADE. It leverages a two-step processing approach: initially loading ASU content definitions into the system, followed by task list generation for execution. Despite offering various functionalities, the ASU Toolbox is dedicated primarily to orchestration, not delivering corrections itself, which remains the responsibility of individual SAP applications. The use of ASU is integrated into SAP upgrades, notably for specific configurations and versions, and requires ASU-specific authorization for operation.
