Updating Java Kernel only

Former Member

Good Day,

We have a requirement to patch the kernel of a portal system used for ESS.

It is AS Java only, backend ECC6 system is separate.

We are on NW7 64bit kernel 144.

So we will use using JSPM to update:

SAPEXE_236-20001354.SAR Kernel Part I (for Basis 7.00)

SAPEXEDB_236-20001361.SAR Kernel Part II (for Basis 7.00)

My question is whether the kernel can be updated alone without patching the AS Java, EP, EP Core components?

Does IGS have to be updated together with the kernel?

Are there any other dependencies?

Thank You.

Regards

Sunil

Thanks for the responses.

Are the SAR files I've listed all that is needed for updating the kernel?

Is there any way to back up the kernel to roll back if there are errors?

Something along the lines of backing up folders manually as is the case with ABAP kernel?

Hi SUnil,

You can apply kernel patch alone. without updating the other compnents using JSPAM.

Regarding IGS it doent depend on kernel, But always better to update IGS also.

Sunil,

From my expreince, you can upgrade your Kernel only and don't need to upgrade EP Components.
