Hi,

Just perform the following steps:

1. Stop SAP system in SAP MMC.

2. Stop SAPOSCOL in services.msc

3. Download the reqd. kernel files in a local dir ex: temp .Ensure temp has nothing but the 2 downloaded kernel files.

4. Copy sapcar.exe from the actual kernel dir to temp.

5. Rename it to sapcar1.exe

6. Run sapcar1 -xvf "*.SAR" in temp.

7. Copy all files except sapcar1, SAPEXE** and SAPEXEDB** files into the kernel dir under sys\exe

8. Start SAP system and SAPOSCOL.

Hi Prathap,

From the DLL file error message it seems you are working on Windows. Your message clearly states that, the SAPCAR is being used by another user/application, it may be a hung process as well. try to locate it in task manager and kill it. If still the issue not resolved, restart your system.

Hello,

Assuming you already have stopped SAP and its SAP services, take a backup of the kernel files, and then rename the file being locked by the process, in this instance, dsrlib.dll to dsrlib.dll_bak. Then proceed to the kernel upgrade. Also, you have to have an updated SAPCAR.exe as mentioned above .

you need to uncar the latest kernal in folder other than exe folder

then copy all the uncar files to exe folder

[Former Member]

You are getting the message becasue SAPCAR is already existing in the folder where you extract the kernel files and when you extract thoese kernel files it is not able to overright that SAPCAR file.

Take a backup of the exe folder and then rename the sapcar in the exe folder as sapcar1.

Move the kernel files into the exe folder and then try with the following command

sapcar1 -xvf kernel_file.SAR

Have you shutdown SAP system, SAPOSCOL?

Hi,

Download the latest SAPCAR.exe file from marketplace and use it in exe folder (take backup of old SAPCAR file).

Thanks,
