Hi Jana,

I think the steps from Volker is good enough for you.

You can also refer to the following sap notes for study.

1632755 IBM i: Description of command APYSIDKRN

1432807 IBM i: Applying a saved kernel using APYSIDKRN

1636252 Installing a 7.20 kernel in SAP Web AS 7.00/7.01/7.10/7.11

There is a course called ADM 525 SAP NetWeaver on IBM i:Database Administration in

SAP, it would be useful for you if could take part in it.

Hi Jana,

you do need the SAPEXE file with 600 and the SAPEXEDB File with 600. Additionally, it makes sense, to download and install the ILE file as library SAP_TOOLS and saphostangent.

Install/Patch SAPHOSTAGENT with QSECOFR:

CALL QP2TERM

cd /720EXTUC424/saphostagent

./SAPCAR -xvf SAPHOSTAGENT.SAR

./saphostexec -install

Install new Library SAP_TOOLS with QSECOFR:

call r3XYZ400/r3inlpgm

CHGCURDIR '/720EXTUC424/patches/uc/as400_pase_64'

CALL QP2SHELL PARM('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/csh' '-c' 'SAPCAR -xvf ILE.SAR iletools ILE_TOOLS;iletools')

ADDLIBLE SAP_TOOLS

FIXSAPOWN *NONE SAP_TOOLS

Install/Patch DCK Kernel 7.20 with XYZadm:

STOPSAP SID(XYZ) INSTANCE(*ALL)

STOPSAP STARTUPSRV(*YES) XDNLISTEN(*YES)

ADDLIBLE SAP_TOOLS

APYSIDKRN SID(XYZ) ARCHIVES('/720EXTUC424/exe') SAVSAR(*NONE) MODE(*ADD)

STARTSAP
