Before applying any patch first do take a offline backup of your SAP system.
Check the tablespaces and file system space and make sure that there is enough free space.

And go to SAP service market place and check the prerequisites of the particular patch by clicking on the info link of that patch.

As all below requirements are correct.

Apart from then you needs to lock all other clients in system to prevent login during patching acitivty.

You needs to off database log (archieve and transaction) generation.

All preqeuisite SPs also needs to be in queue.

Hi All

while installing support packs before we need to check in the EPS in Directory and in the market place latest support packs available or not and transport tool working properly or not check all this and download the SP and run the t-code SPAM then import the Support pack and confirm.
