Kernel Upgrade reflecting in application servers

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have question regarding kernel upgrade .

while performing kernel upgrade ,we uncar the files and replace the exe file in central instance (/sapmnt/<sid>/) .

After restarting the server , it is automatically getting reflected in appl.servers too.

Can any one tell me the work around beyond it .On what basis this is exactly getting updated by default in appl. servers too ?

Best Regards

If you look in the start profile of the application servers you will find the sapcpe program that runs at startup. This program is responsible for going out and looking to see if there is a newer kernel available at the CI. If it does see a newer version it will copy the correct files out to the application server.

Kernel get distributed to the application servers because the /sapmnt/<sid>/exe of the CI is usually mounted on them.
