Unicode Kernel Diagnostics Agent install on non_unicode kernel System.

[Former Member]

We have some ECC 6.0 ABAP systems that do not have a unicode kernel. The diagnostics agent setup guide for Netweaver 7.0 says you should have a unicode kernel DVD for the diagnostics agent install. I was hesitant about using a unicode kernel for the SMD agent and a non-unicode kernel on the ECC 6.0 instance. I tried installing the agent with the non-unicode kernel DVD and got an error that would not let me continue. Anybody have experience with this?

Hi Carl,

As the diagnostics agent needs java, and java needs unicode, i reckon you really need a unicode kernel install package.

Hope this helps...

Carl,

David is Right, SMD is itself an SAP Instance(to be considered a seperate system-SAP Note:1365123) with its own exe. So it shouldn't be a problem.
