This is one of the technical infrastructure data gathering methodologies and performance recommendations for server machines. The full list is defined in the Server Environment Recommendations topic here.
STEP components include:
- Core functionality: the STEP version, e.g., STEP 7.5, STEP 8.2, etc.
- Hotfixes (optional)
- Monthly Patches (optional)

Run the './spot --components' command to display the applied components, as shown below:
Considerations
- The DTAP street needs to be based on the same components. The Development, Test, Acceptance, and Production system should be based on the same components and versions. If not, at a minimum, ensure the baseline is the same on all environments.
- Consider that there can be unnecessary components on the STEP system after an upgrade. It may well be that after an upgrade, some of the hotfixes are not needed anymore. Read the Release Notes carefully to be sure that all unnecessary components are removed.
