Ecc 6.0 kernel upgrade from 7.20 EXT to 7.21 EXT

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have upgraded kernel on windows environment from 7.20 ext to 7.21 ext. Followed SAP Note 1713986 for installation & 1553465 as prerequisite.

Below is the error after upgrade & I have reverted back to 7.20 and still see sapcpe.exe in red.

Can someone provide me with exact steps to be performed specific to 7.21 upgrade on windows

Please help!!

Regards,

Raj

Hi Dheeraj,

Check your system profiles again.

May be you have left something.

Now for sapcpe, run sapcpe pf=<instance profile/SCS profile/ additional instance profile> to sync you kernel.

Thanks Divyanshu for reply

Should I copy sapcpe.exe to /work dir and execute it for all instances profile or Can I run from any directory?

Also, after swapping kernel files should I delete files & folders from all /exe (except /nuc/NTADM64) directories and start the system?

Regards,

Dheeraj

login with sidadm, goto profile directory and execute sapcpe as per the note 1713986 - Installation of kernel 721 (EXT)

Stop SAP and DB

Stop all the services from services.msc

Delete all the files under <Drive>:\usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64 and <Drive>:\usr\sap\SID\DVEBMGS00\exe

Extract the kernel archives to <Drive>:\usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64

Copy the kernel archives from <Drive>:\usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64 to <Drive>:\usr\sap\SID\DVEBMGS00\exe

Start the services and followed by SAP.

Thanks Reagan,

I have followed same process as you mentioned and upgraded kernel again.

Below is the error after the upgrade.

SAP Note mentioned other additional applications as optional & do I need to upgrade the igs too?

Also, can I kill the processes in red?

Regards,

Raj

[Reagan]

Yes you need to update IGS as well.

Also supply the sapcpe log

[Former Member]

I have updated IGS. (All process are green expect sapcpe.exe)

Below is the log file of sapcpe and it was generated on 8th of this month & I have upgraded kernel again yesterday and it is still showing the same thing.

What is the value for the profile parameter DIR_CT_RUN ?

[divyanshu_srivastava3]

Check your system profiles again.
May be you have left something.
Now for sapcpe, run sapcpe pf=<instance profile/SCS profile/ additional instance profile> to sync you kernel.

Are you sure that profiles are correct and adjusted as per the new kernel ?

Did you run sapcpe as suggested ?

[Former Member]

For ASCS

SAPSYSTEM = 00

INSTANCE_NAME = ASCS00

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

DIR_EXECUTABLE = $(DIR_INSTANCE)\exe

DIR_INSTANCE = D:\usr\sap\$(SAPSYSTEMNAME)\$(INSTANCE_NAME)

For DVEBMGS00

SAPSYSTEM = 01

INSTANCE_NAME = DVEBMGS01

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

DIR_EXECUTABLE = $(DIR_INSTANCE)\exe

Hi Dheeraj

Could you refer the SAP Note

1957798 - update kernel failed, sapcpe.log contains error "sapcpe: find <src> /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/ex...

The sapcpe log says:

source: D:\usr\sap\XXX\SYS\exe\nuc\NTAMD64
target: D:\usr\sap\XXX\DVEBMGS27\exe

Profile says:

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

Is you system Unicode or Non-Unicode ?

Are you using the right kernel for your system,

Its a NUC system and I am using the right kernel

Divyanshu,

Yes, I have executed sapcpe as suggested

Hi,

What are the values of DIR_EXE_ROOT and OS_UNICODE ?

Check this in your profiles.

THE PROBLEM is with your PROFILES

Regards,

[Reagan]

temporarily set DIR_CT_RUN as shown below and restart SAP and see if that helps.

DIR_CT_RUN = D:\usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\nuc\NTAMD64

Changing DIR_CT_RUN didn't help Reagan

[divyanshu_srivastava3]

Hi,

Can you share what i have asked before

What are the values of DIR_EXE_ROOT and OS_UNICODE ?
Check this in your profiles.

Or give me a remote session - this is easy to fix.

[Former Member]

Divyanshu,

These parameters are not defined in profile & as Reagan suggested I have included the path for DIR_CT_RUN.

[Reagan]

Hello Dheeraj

Could you supply the error log please ? and also is the path D:\usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\nuc\NTAMD64 correct ?
