QUESTION POSED ON: 18 May 2009
I have an add-on to install. I'm currently using a SAINT transaction in SAP Basis. The .SAR file is decompressed and a .PAT file is created at the Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) directory, but it is not listed on the screen for the add-on selection. As such, I cannot continue with the installation.
