Hello Paran,

did you try to start the APYSIDKRN command in a completely new job? I.e. sign off and sign on again an repeat the APYSIDKRN command.

Hi Paran.

1. From the SIDADM before starting the APYSIDKRN have you add the library SAP_TOOLS?

2. Library creation and extraction are done thruogh SAP SIDADM or Qsecofr user id ?

<'/sapmnt/IDO/patches/work/SAPCAR' -xvf '/KERNEL/dw_712-10011210.sar,' -R '/sapmnt/IDO/patches/work/dw_712-10011210_sar_0'>
LOG(apysap.c/03693): SAPCAR error message processing /KERNEL/dw_712-10011210.sar (without checking digital signature):

3. After downloaded the kernel files from SAP SMP you have to rename those files to SAPEXE.sar,SAPEXEDB.sar,IGSEXE.sar & IGhelper.sar, then follow the steps as reference SAP note 1097751

Login as: SIDADM

ADDLIBLE SAP_TOOLS

APYSIDKRN SID(XXX) ARCHIVES('/SAPMEDIA/K721/*') SAVSAR(*NONE) MODE(*ADD) CHGENV(*YES) UPDAPAR(*NO)

Call QP2TERM (disp+work) to verify new kernel

DLTR3PKG SID(XXX)

Log off as user ADM and Log Back In and start the instance.

There are some pre-requisite commands you need to do prior executing APYSIDKRN such as apply new user concept or classic

ie..

Login as: QSECOFR

CHGCURDIR (‘/SAPMEDIA/K721)

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

ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(CLASSICUSERCONCEPT) VALUE('Y')

ADDLIBLE SAP_TOOLS

FIXSAPOWN *NONE SAP_TOOLS

I hope this will help you.
