problem in kernel upgrade

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am facing the problem in kernel upgrade. I have done it but it is not showing in the system.

The steps i have done.

Add the files to Download Basket. The following 2 SAR files should be

downloaded:

Database Independent --- SAPEXE_10****SAR

Database dependent file is -Executable File --- SAPEXEDB_1***.SAR

Keep both files in separate folder eg. Db and Exe and also copy SAPCAR.EXE

file in these folders.

Now Uncar the downloaded SAR files:

Run Command Prompt

C:\path where DB and EXE sar file download folder reside> sapcar u2013xvf

<filename.SAR>

u2022 Then take a Copy of existing RUN folder. G:\usr\sap\PRD\SYS\exe\run

u2022 Close R/3.

u2022 Close the SAP Services and make it Disabled.

My Computer > Right Click> Manage > Services & Applications > Services >

SAPOSCOL and

SAPPRD_00

Select service>right click>properties>change status type to Disabled

because it starts automatically as name is there in CAR file.

Now Copy the above uncar files of DB and EXE in RUN folder.

And change properties of services and start it again.

Start SAP R/3 now.

Logon and check system>status>click on arrow>check kernel patch level

It is changed from 109 to 139

I more thing i wnat to know that my server is 32 bit or 64 bit.

Regards,

Hi SHIVA,

Logon and check system>status>click on arrow>check kernel patch level It is changed from 109 to 139

Your kernel upgrade is done as the patch level has increased from 109 to 139.

Hi Shiva,

You may refer SAP Notes 19466 and 684106, which tells you procedure to download and implement latest Kernel patch levels.

You can check whether your kernel patch level is upgraded or not, following below procedure.

System--> status > other Kernel info> Patche level

or

Transaction SM50> Processes> Process info-->Patch Level.

Coming to next question, you can find whether kernel is 32 bit or 64 bit, using the platform ID.

You can find this platform ID in your system,

system--> status.

Now relate this Platform to SAP Note 146289, where you can find the correct bit of your kernel.

If you need any other information, please reply me.

Thanks and Regards,

Pavan Kumar Gali.
