Kernel patch for Unix (Solaris)

[Former Member]

Hello!

I have to patch, after successful installation, the SAP Solution Manager.

I know this operation is automatically can be executed with JSPM.

But in order to replace disp-work, R3Trans and TP I have to do this manually.

For this issue I have to stop all relevant processes, e.g. SAPOSCOL, DB-relevant-processes (Oracle)

In Windows area I would just stop all the processes.

<b>How this can be done in Unix area, should the processes be killed?</b>

Thank you very much!

Stop SAP using stopsap r3 then replace the kernel files in /usr/sap/$SAPSYSTEMNAME/SYS/exe/run directory.

Hi Thom,

Mostly, using stopsap script, stops all the sap processes and the database cleanly. You could run a ps -ef to check if all SAP and DB processes have stopped. In AIX, I run slibclean, to clean buffered programs. to stop saposcol use saposcol -k.

Once SAP instance is down, take a backup of the existing kernel and upgrade the kernel.

Hope this helps.

Hi

You can patch java components and kernel using JSPAM. But ABAP part can only be done using SPAM. To start you have to stop SAP ( bot JAVA and ABAP ) ,

stop SAP will take care of this , it should stop database and SAPOSCOL by itself.If saposcol didnt stop , use command

saposcol -k to stop the saposcollector. If it didnt stop you can kill it ( last option ) by

kill -9 <process id >

stop sap will stop database and its related process.If tns listner is still running , stop it by using

lsnrctl stop

Thanks
