SAP NW 7.3 ABAP - Kernel Patch

[Roman71]

Dear all,

has there anything changed with kernel patches on SAP NW 7.3 ABAP?

I have stopped the App Server, copied all the kernel files to /usr/sap/<sid>/exe/uc/NTADM64 and restarted the instance. Normaly SAPCPE has distributed the files to the relevant directories then. This does not happen any more. The kernel the instance has started with is still the old version.

Any idea or advice?

Many thanks

Roman

Hi,

Try to do it manually..

You can also call sapcpe pf=<instance profile> to sync files.

Hi every1,

Kernel, TP, Patch Level 414 are instable! Try to downgrade.

Hi Roman,

The following notes have solution to your problem.

Note 1304256 - Sapstart no longer calls sapcpe automatically

Note 1104735 - Upgrade to the new instance-specific directory on UNIX

Br,

Venky

Could you please check the DIR_CT_RUN and DIR_EXECUTABLES where DIR_CT_RUN should be : /usr/sap/<sid>/exe/uc/NTADM64 and DIR_EXECUTABLE = /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS*/exe

It should work if you manually copy the kernel from /usr/sap/<sid>/exe/uc/NTADM64 to /usr/sap/SID/sys/exe/

Let us know how its goes,

Cheers,

Nicholas Chang

Hm, these two parameters are set instance profile:

DIR_CT_RUN $(DIR_EXE_ROOT)\$(OS_UNICODE)\NTAMD64

DIR_EXECUTABLE $(DIR_INSTANCE)\exe

DIR_EXE_ROOT points to:
<servername>\sapmnt\<sid>\SYS\exe

DIR_INSTANCE points to: C:\usr\sap\<sid>\DVEBMGS00

OS_UNICODE is unknown in RZ11. Maybe this is the problem.

Any idea?

Many thanks
