You can directly patch SM 2012 R2 deployment with UR9 to get all the fixes together.

Update highlights

• Service Manager 2012 R2 now supports SQL Server 2014.
• This update contains several improvements for a significant reduction in sync time of the System Center Configuration Manager (CM) connector and the Active Director (AD) connector.
• The AD connector sync schedule has now become configurable through the console and PowerShell.

Issues that are fixed in this update rollup

• MPSync jobs hang after you import a new version of a Management Pack.
• The AD connector group expansion workflow runs even if the corresponding connector is disabled.
• [Withdrawn]During execution of the AD connector, the Console may experience a significant decrease in performance because the AD connector performs a full sync after every domain controller failover.
• AD connector sync fetches the same Tombstone objects multiple times, and slows down the sync if the deployment has a large number of deleted objects.
• If you use the extended screen to open forms, the SM console continues to try to open the form window in the extended display, even when it no longer exists.
• Service Request and Problem management forms do not save the data changes that are made after Refreshing the form.
• The AD connector sync generates many warning events with Event ID 3305.
• Deleting a System Center Configuration Manager connector freezes the console until all the associated Configuration items are deleted.
• Additions are missed when the Configuration Manager database is hosted on SQL Always On and is successfully failed over to another node.
• The Console crashes if a large amount of data or an image is pasted in the Release Request’s documentation tab.
• Groups & Users cannot be added to a user role from a domain which is two-way selective authenticated trust with the SM Management Server’s Domain.
• When the number of user CIs is large, the Global Operators Group takes a long time to return and spikes the memory and CPU in the SDK process.
• EMG and TypeSpace Cache calls are slow and makes the CPU spike when there are lots of Enumerations in the Management Group.
• An exception occurs when you click an entity of a service on the Service Component tab.
• Creating a Request offering with Cireson SMA Connector results in an exception, after you install update rollup 4 or 5.
• KB3045893: Data type conversion error after you install Update Rollup 5 for System Center 2012 R2 Service Manager
