Post Kernel Upgrade Tests ?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We recently upgraded to the latest 700 kernel (179) in our BI, PI, SM and CRM Development Environments due to address some known gateway issues, and as recommended by SAP.

Before moving through to QA and PROD, apart from normal business validation, I would like to perform some basis validation tests also in DEV. Could anyone recommend some basis checks that would help me to validate the Kernel ?

Thanks.

There is no particular post upgrade kernel tests as such.

But if you want to verify that the latest patch is reflecting in SAP system, you can login to sap system and go to:

+System >> status >> and press Shift + F5 (other kernel info).+

It will show the current kernel patch level in SAP.

Cheers,

Jazz

Thanks for the hint Jazz, I was more thinking about basic checks for possible side effects in ICM, ICF, ICI, Gateway, TMS, Web Dispatcher etc.

I presume the only check you can make is that the sapcrytolib has been installed (if you use it) and that brtools work properly... but beside that if the system starts properly then you should be ok.

If the kernel is installed properly you should see no side-effects.
