Hi,

So far your kernel updated. I think I would suggest you to reboot your machine at this movement since there has been worked done differently. Stop your sap and db and reboot your machine. I hope this will fix your issue. Rebooting machine will clean up your buffer etc...

Which files are the ones you have deleted?

Have you double-checked the new files of the Kernel are a higher level than 75?

You can check this by running invoking in the actual directory where the new files are uncompressed ./disp+work -v

This should give you, this new disp+work level, that´s 83, and not 75

I know this could seem trivial, but have you checked you have copied the new version of the files to /sapmnt//exe, and not the "backup" version?

Hi,

Please do the following.

Since you have empty exe,

1. copy ...sapexedb.... and sapexe into /sapmnt/<SID>/exe

2. copy SAPCAR utility in to same directory.

3. Command pro... cd to exe location

4. SAPCAR -xvf both one by one.

It should work fine.

Thanks,
