Solution Manager 7.1 Support Package Stack Upgrade

Hi Experts,

I am quite new to SAP Solution Manager Dual Stack Platform.

I have installed a new SAP Solution Manager 7.1 DS System. Now I would like to install the latest Support Package Stack i.e. SPS08.

I had downloaded the SPS08, while downloading the Installation media, also I have got the Stack.XML file too for SPS08.

As far as I understand, SPAM could be used to apply SPS on the ABAP Stack, and JSPM could be used similarly for the Java Stack using the Stack XML file.

However, I would like to confirm, if SUM can be used to update both the Stacks of Solution Manager?

I was trying to find the SPS Guide for Solution Manager, but couldn't find such.

Please let me know what should be the best strategy to apply SPS08 to Solution Manager 7.1 DS System.

Also, I appreciate if you can point me to a standard SPS Upgrade Guide/Notes for SAP SOLMAN 7.1

Regards,

Akshay.
