How should I know which kernel I am using 6.40_EX2 64-BIT UC or 6.40 64-BIT

[Former Member]

In my BW 3.5 I can see in sm51 under release notes kernel 640_REL. When I want to patch it and before of that download from SAP Marketplace I have choise :

SAP KERNEL 6.40 64-BIT UNICODE and

SAP KERNEL 6.40_EX2 64-BIT UC

which is the right one?

The 640_EX2 is the successor version of the 640 kernel. The applications

running this kernel are themselves not impacted with the newer kernel

version. However there are some restrictions. You can read SAP note 1058988 on 640_EX2 kernel.

For your case, please choose SAP KERNEL 6.40 64-BIT UNICODE.

You can also check from SM51 -> Select instance -> Release Notes

Login to OS level with SIDadm user & in command prompt run command disp+work.It will show you all details regarding your kernel version. Same you can download frommarketplace.
