Kernel Upgrade During SAP Version Upgrade

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are doing SAP upgrade from 4.7 2.00 to ECC6 on V6R1M0.After the Extraction_Pre Phase SAPup has created two library SAP700OPT and SAP700NEW With the kernel media that comes for the upgrade which is almost 3 years old.Now we have downloaded SAPEXE..SAR and SAPDB.SAR file from SMP.We want to apply those kernel tothe lib.Can you please let know the process for it?I have gone through the note 912575 but I am bit confused.

Also how can I find which Kernel library is connected to which IFS (ex /usr/sap/put/exe or exenew)?

Do we need to activate the kernel after we patch to those library or system does it by itself.

Thanks for your help!!

Hi William,

Thanks for your reply.Can you please help me with the following question?

1) if I activate the new kernwl 700 it will hit my existing kernel 640 which is being used by the source release I just need to upgrade the kernel for shadow instance.

2) if I change my library how will SAPup know what is the new kernel library it has to use.

Thanks in advance!!

Regards!!
