Hi Selva,

Kernel Path ::\usr\sap\<sid>\sys\exe\run

1. To check system status:

Tcode: SM51

Click Release information.

2. Before Kernel updation we need to stop the SAP MMC and Close MMC

3. Next we need to stop all services related to SAP

Start -


Run -


SERVICES.MSC

Stop all Oracle services and SAP services.

4. Replace the new kernel in kernel path

Kernel Path ::\usr\sap\<sid>\sys\exe\run

For downloading the file from ServiceMarket place:

Supportpackages and patches->entry by application component->choose for ex.SAP Netweaver->SAP NEtweaver 2004s ->Add by application group->SAP Kernel <choose os platform>choose #DB independent

S.Rajeshkumar

In newer vesion of SAP the Kernel Upgrade is done with JSPM along with the JAVA support patches.

If you want to upgrade only kernel, first you have to download the kernel files form the market place and uncare those files and place it in run directory.

Before doing the above activity make sure that backed up your old kernel folder.

To apply kernel you have to shut down the SAP server and all the services.

Thanks
