Kernal patch upgrade ECC6.0 ehp6.0 patch 324 source and target is 510 patch

[Former Member]

Well i did download the SAPEXEDB  and SAPEXE with   files give below  :

i was able to see that the patch 324 with unicode displayed when we ran disp+work   now after extracting the files and putting in /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run   directory now i get patch 510  but i see that it is non unicode.   

i would like to get this verified if this was suppose to be non unicode or not.

Thanks

Vijay,

You have NOT downloaded UNICODE packages. The filenames you have shown confirm this.

eg:

SAPEXE_500-10011305.SAR

dw_510-10011305.sar

Files with *10011305* are NON UNICODE.

The correct files would be *10011360* as found under SAP KERNEL 7.21 EXT 64-BIT UC.

Kind Regards,

Hi Amerjit,

I stopped using dw-510*.sar   and i have downloaded  10011360 and 10011358 ext files and also extracted and works

Thanks for all your support.

Hi Vijay,

AS you have downloaded the DW_510-10011305.sar it has extarcted the DW with 510 version but source release you need to check too.

So when you run the disp+work -V you see the patch as 510.

And can you paste the disp+work -V|more in here so that we can confirm you whether unicode or non-unicode.

HI Ram,

THanks appreciate your help.   I did run the disp+work -v | more still it has the same nonunicode 510  shown  i could do only the SAPEXEDB and SAPEXE sar files   hope this could solve as unicode system?

Just to clarify.

Thanks

Hi Vijay,

You may re-check whether downloaded file is Unicode files. also as mentioned by ramkrishna, give disp+work command to check.

Hi Vijay,

Which location you have copied the files in OS level. Also  which OS your using as for the linux x86_64 below are the sap kernel patch files for unicode 7.21 EXT 64bit.

	SAR	SAPEXE_500-10011224.SAR	Kernel Part I (database independent)	500	Info	288899	30.04.2015
		SAR	SAPSLDREG_418-10011224.SAR	SAPSLDREG	418	Info	8394	02.03.2015
		SAR	SNMPLIB_313-10011224.SAR	snmplib	313	Info	5318	24.06.2014
		SAR	ccmagent_510-10011224.sar	CCMAGENT	510	Info	18601	08.05.2015
		SAR	dw_510-10011224.sar	disp+work package	510	Info	165478	08.05.2015
		SAR	dw_utils_420-10011224.sar	Kernel utilities	420	Info	14485	27.03.2015

So let us know the details. Also you might have downloaded the wrong kernel if its showing Non-Unicode.

Hi Ram,

Thanks for the information shared.  I have now used the files SAPEXE and SAPEXEDB for patch 500  i did copy the extract to /usr/sap/sid/sys/exe/run   directory       also my exe directory also has nuc and uc directory  as these have linux x-64 bit files only  and my run directory has all the files listed  hence i did replace the files in run directory.  i could see that disp+work show that the patch as 500 but still it shows only non unicode i did run R3trans -d to check connectivity with database MAXDB 7.8    i could see a return code 12  means that the connectivity is not established.

Thanks

Hi Vijay,

Can you please send us the output of disp+work from below directories:-

/usr/sap/<SID>/sys/exe/run

/sapmnt/<SID>/exe/

/usr/sap/<SID>/DVMB*/exe

You need to run the ./disp+work -V|more command every where and check the output.

example:-

cd /usr/sap/<SID>/DVMB*/exe

./disp+work -V|more

Update us the outcome also will request you to overwrite the kernel in above mentioned directories.

Hi Ram,

I did update the files only in /usr/sap/sid/SYS/exe/run   directory  this would be copied by system automatically to

/usr/sap/<SID>/sys/exe/run

/sapmnt/<SID>/exe/

/usr/sap/<SID>/DVMB*/exe

this is what happens.  correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks

Hi

Have you downloaded right kernel from service market place?  From the log its show Non-Unicode kernel.

Once again download the Non-unicode kernel from SMP and then upgrade

Hi Ram

I did look into the trans.log i could see that dbslsdb.cpp is c plus plus could be a header file. having issues is this something related to R3trans -d  database connectivity.

Hi Vijay

Could you check the log what your are attached and refer the snapshot ?

I think what your are download the kernel version issue. once again you have to download the kernel from SMP.
