Hi Bhaskar,

You can use JSPM too in this case. Otherwise if you want to do it the old fashioned way:

> Stop SAP, Database, Saprouter, listeners and all the

related services.

> The location of the kernel is /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run

> Take a backup of the files in this location and take a

print out of the ls -ltr (This is needed to give the new files the

correct permissions)

> Overwrite all the new files to the kernel location. The

purpose is to retain the old files for which the new version is not

available.

> The permissions of the file need to be changed as they

were before.

> Restart all the processes. The kernel upgrade is

now done. System

> status will give the newer version of the kernel.>

>

disp+work

Will give the

new Kernel version.

Hi,

If you are upgrading kernel in Unix environment do not forget to run the saproot.sh script.

Logon using root ID

Go to kernel directory

Run saproot.sh using following command

./saproot.sh <SID>

Hi Bhaskar,

1.First try to download the latest kernel Patch both Database Independent and Database Dependent from service.sap.com/patches.

2. create a folder some where else, and uncar both the SAR files into the newly created folder.

3. Take the backup of exe folder, which is under/usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/

If not take backup of NTI386 which is under /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run/

4. Stop the SAP with stopsap R3

5. Stop the services. Go to Run-> give services.msc and stop the services 1. Distribution transaction coordinator 2. sapSID related services 3. saposcol

6. Now copy all the uncared files from the newly created folder to /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run/....

7.Then restart the Services first and then sat with startsap R3.

8. If you want to check the current patch level of kernel, just open the command promt and go to kernel directory and give disp+work.

Hope it resoves your issue.

Thanks

Hi Bhaskar,

You can download the kernel from market place . Once you get the SAR files UNCAR those files and replace the existing files exe folder (usr->sap-><SID>->sys->exe) with the files which you have uncarred .

• Dont forget to take the back up of the exe folder before you replace the files in that.
