Upload and import all *.pat files using the wizard (detailed guide can be found under the SAINT online documentation). OutBoard support packages must be updated using the SPAM Update (transaction SPAM) up to the level 21 (detailed guide can be found under SPAM online documentation). After a successful OutBoard Data Tiering SP21 installation the software component DVD 200 with the Level 21 will be available in the system as shown on the screen.
