how to find whether 32-bit or 64-bit kernel is installed

Hi

You can check whether the kernel is 32 bit or 64 bit as follows:

Procedure:

1. Choose in the menu: System--> Status

2. See the "Platform-ID":

Platform--32 bit--64 bit

AIX--

---

320-----324

HP-UX-----272-----273

RM600-----322-----323

SUN SOLARIS-369-------370

DEC-Alpha-NIL-----288

Depending upon your platform you can check the value so you will be able to find whether it is a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel.

Hi,

In case of windows

my computer->properties ->advanced->environment variables ->system variables->Processor_Architecture

In case of solaris

run /usr/bin/isainfo -kv

You should be able to recognize in the output if is 32 or 64bit

In case of Linux

run uname -m

The output will read x86_64 for 64-bit and i686 for 32-bit.

To know which sap kernel do the call gwrd in the run directory or

in Tcode ST06 -

Hope this helps

This has been discussed in the Thread: 32bit / 64bit

Hi

It depends on with OS you are using.The system status in Abap stack and disp+work in java stack can show you the patch level of the kernals.

If you want know about whether it is 32 or 64 bit you have to go to the file system level to find.

For Example

32 bit:

\usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\uc\<b>NTI386</b>,here NT1386 represents 32 bit

64 bit

\usr\sap\X74\SYS\exe\uc\<b>NTAMD64</b>, here NTAMD64 represents 64 bit.

Othere method is to UNSCAR the kernal files that is SAR files and look for its properties.But i have not used this method.

Hope this explanation answers your querry.
