I downloaded the kernel exe and exedb files (level 137) as a part of
the Support Pack Stack 9 from maintenance optimizer.Our current level
of Kernel was 69 and the defined level in SP Stack 9 was 137. As a part
of the installation work, I extracted these files, stopped the sap
services, backed up the exe folder and overwrote the files in the
usr/sap/.../exe folder with the extracted files. When I restarted the
services, and logged on to the SAP gui and checked the Kernel
level, it shows level 32 which is very odd. I am not sure why is it
showing the downgraded version instead of the new version 137. I double checkd in the download area and confirmed that I
selected the correct platform and database for download. I believe that kernel upgarde is cumulative. I am wondering if I this is not the error or just a glitch and it might show the correct version after I upgrade ABAP/BASIS support pack. I will greately appreciate your any thoughts?
Thanks
Hi,
Not sure which transaction code you used to check the kernal patch number?
Please use SM51 and clieck release notes, here you will get the kernel patch number.

Hi Arjun,
To me it looks like old kernel has been applied on the system.
Created dated is "created on: Feb 24 2009" which means old kernel has been uploaded into the system.
I suggest extract the kernel for latest patch again executed R3trans -v command from that folder (you may need to give complete path).
And then execute the same command exe folder and compare the result.

Thanks for your response again.
Here is my download info for the new kernel with date:
My Download Link->
SAP KERNEL 7.01 64-BIT UNICODE -> Windows Server on x64 64bit -> #Database independent
The EXE file that I downloaded for kernel upgrade:
SAR SAPEXE_137-10005992.SAR Kernel Part I (for Basis 7.01) 137 Info 207872 25.05.2011
Previous Kernel file Info found in the same download area which confirms that I am in the right area for download:
SAR SAPEXE_69-10005992.SAR Kernel Part I (for Basis 7.01) 69 Info 199677 04.02.2010
Datewise they look ok. I am going to try to download one more time and see what happens.
Thanks
