Your SAP kernel release may encounter serious problems.

SAP tests all SAP kernels released. However, your patch level has been found to be unstable in certain cases and is therefore not recommended. For more information, see the release information for each SAP kernel patch on SAP Service Marketplace.

For more information about issues concerning your current SAP kernel, see the SAP Notes in the table below.

Recommendation: If the SAP kernel shipped with the latest Support Package Stack of your product has the same issue as listed below, install a more recent SAP kernel available in the "Patches" section of SAP Service Marketplace.

Hello Nekkalapu,

As per EWA's recommendations, you should upgrade your kernel patch to the latest. I would suggest you to upgrade the latest patch in Sandbox system and keep a close eye for couple of days. If you don't see any problems with new kernel then you are good to go to implement the on Dev, Qua and Prod systems.

Thanks,

Hi,

Looks like you are using an older version of Kernel release 701. The kernel should be on the latest patch level.

Check and update the latest kernel throught your landscape.

Certainly, Kernel should be consistent in all the landscape
